There is nothing wrong with being a diplomat, many, many great Sith have held that role, however to claim this form as one for negotiation is a Jedi idea. Niman is flexible and less physically demanding, with a series of more standard techniques at its base and does often for the integration of Force techniques more common in your less combatively active Sith, this does allow it to fall into the hands of those less actively involved in seeking violence.
However. As anyone should learn in Acolytehood, violence comes to all Sith. No matter the job all are warriors of a kind, expected to, should the day come draw their blade and defend themselves or their position. This is what makes Niman perfect for the diplomat, but when giving something a name you have to consider the implications beyond just a first glance.
To claim that Niman is for the diplomat, the inquisitor, alone or even primarily, is an often mistaken and terrible idea one could get from the name. This can be seen proven wrong in the Dark Lord Exar Kun, an excellent duelist who was undefeated in single combat, all the way until his death, buried in a tomb on Yavin 4. He had a ravenous hunger for knowledge and would likely never have stopped expanding his form.
The name The Diplomats Form is not entirely inaccurate as it is lax but adaptable nature allows it’s basic techniques to be effective for the less directly combatant but to a warrior, to a blademaster or a duelist it is a flawed one and I would like to in this document, move past it to discuss the actual merits of the form beyond its ease of access.
