Philosophies

Only two... Master and apprentice.
There is no pain where strength lies.

If you are prepared to break a fall, you are prepared for the fall itself. Sith do not fall. They do not fail.

Compassion is a fatal flaw.

The feelings of the powerless means nothing.

The feelings of those with power can be exploited.

A punishment is a lesson.

Anger is a living thing. Feed it and it will grow.

What is done in secret has great power.

Those who serve you always start out with good news. Do not be blinded by their self congratulation. The more they blather, the more they are trying to cover their mistakes.

A savage appearance can strike fear in the hearts of the weak. You don't have to say a word.

The greedy are the first to economize.

Move in secret when you can. The blow in the darkness is the killing blow.

If your enemy inflicts pain, do not allow him to see it.

You must be prepared to lose your own life in order to win.

Sith are never restless. Our discipline is no less absolute in delay than in action.

Turn your fear to anger.

To draw out your victory is foolish. Get the killing done. Then move on.

Results, not excuses.

Think of the now. Think of the future. Do not meditate on the past.

Use your shame. Turn it inward to make the darkness in you grow. Your shame will feed your hatred. This will make you stronger.

A Sith Lord can be defeated if he falls victim to his belief in his own invincibility.

Do not neglect old tricks. They work.

Push your advantage always.

The battle is not over until your opponent is dead.

Even fools can get lucky.

Training
Physical Training: The Sith have learned how to fuel their anger, hatred, and rage into their bodies to feed their desire for revenge. Skills that may benefit from this ability include brawling, climbing/jumping, lifting, lightsaber, melee combat, melee parry, running, stamina, and throwing. Damage inflicted by Strength can also be increased by this form of training.


Dark Side Attributes: The Dark Side of the Force can be used to grant the Sith greater physical potential and mental awareness than is normally and genetically possible for their specific speciesExample: Darth Rend, a human Sith Lord, has been training for years under Palpatine on Byss. Reaching the peak of physical perfection for his species .attribute of The Dark Side of the Force, however, knows no limits, and allows Rend to push his crude human form to even higher levels of physical strength. Darth Rend would be physically stronger than any human in the galaxy, and almost match a Wookie for sheer intensity.
Dark Side Adepts and Sith Lords
Palpatine violated one of the cardinal rules of the Sith which has allowed them to remain undetected by the Jedi for over a thousand years: Only two... Master and apprentice. With the height of his Empire and the destruction of the Jedi Council, there was no longer any need to adhere to that archaic teaching. On the hidden world of Byss, Palpatine began training a new order of Dark Side Adepts, and from them, new Sith Lords began to spread the glory of the Dark Side across the galaxy.
