Force Techniques

The Force is a metaphysical, binding, and ubiquitous power that holds enormous importance for both the Jedi

and Sith monastic orders. The Force is viewed in many different aspects, including, but not limited to, the light side, the dark side, the Unifying Force, and the Living Force.

The first two aspects are concerned with the moral compass of the Force, as manifested by the conduct and emotions of living creatures who were themselves part of the fabric of the Force. The light side of the Force is the facet aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, whilst the dark side of the Force is the element aligned with hatred, fear, covetousness, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence.

The latter two aspects are defined by prominent Jedi philosophies: The Unifying Force essentially embraces space and time in its entirety while the Living Force deals with the energy of living things.

Though the Force is categorized in this way, there are no specific abilities or powers that were only usable by a follower of a different path of the Force; the Force partially existed inside the life forms that use it, and draws energy from their emotions.

How It Works[]

Unlike psionics or magic, using the Force does not necessarily tire Force-users out in the same way that using magic would tire out a mage. The Force is primarily controlled through emotion, and while Force-users can be limited in the amount of control they can exert on the Force in a day, doing so will not leave them in an exhausted state. When using a Force Technique, the Force-user must first:

Have access to the specific Force technique
They must decide how they wish to utilize the technique
They must sacrifice Force Points to carry out the effect.

The amount of Force Points a character has can be determined by adding up the character's Wisdom and Charisma points.

For instance, if a Force-user wanted to use a Mind Trick on an enemy, they would need to know the Mind Trick technique, decide the end effect (what they want the Mind Trick to accomplish) and put a number of Force Points into the technique. The more Force Points that go into a technique, the greater the Force-User's control over it.

Limits[]

Force-Users are only limited by the number of Force Points they have access to.

The character gains +2 on attempts to disarm an opponent and +1 to called-shot (for melee) attempts. Requires Lightsaber Combat.

Form II: Makashi : Character gains +4 to Balance Checks and +4 to BaB. When in combat with a lightsaber users, the BaB bonus rises to +8.

Requires Lightsaber Combat.

Form III: Soresu :Character gains +8 AC and additional +40% lightsaber deflection bonus. Instead of making an attack, a Soresu user can make a concentration attempt in combat and if it succeeds he gains an additional +4 AC and +20% lightsaber deflection bonus. Requires Lightsaber Combat, Con 16, Dex 16.

Form IV: Ataru : Characters gain +6 BaB. While using this form in combat, characters may use the Force for enhancing themselves (including increasing jump height and movement speed) and pay two less ability points than they would normally have to (minimum of zero). Requires Lightsaber Combat, Force-User Level 4.

Form V: Shien / Djem So : Characters gain +2 BaB, +2 AC and +20% Lightsaber Deflection bonus. In addition, users of this form may chose two range attacks they deflect to be redirected at another target. While in this form, users do not need to pay ability points to Force-enhance their strength until after combat is over (points are not deducted until battle is over). 'Requires Lightsaber Combat, Force-User Level 6'.

Form VI: Niman : Characters gain +1 BaB, +2 AC. +4 Initiative and +4 to all Reflex Saves. Users of this form can chose one target in combat to be the primary focus.

Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad :Character gains +6 BaB, +1 AC, an additional attack at +3 BaB and deals an additional +1d8 damage per hit. The form user gains immunity to fear and +6 to resist all Force techniques. If an offensive Force technique is used against a Juyo / Vaapad user, there is a 10% chance of that technique being reflected back against the form user's opponent. People fighting a Juyo / Vaapad user must make a Will save (DC 18) every round while in combat or be shaken (-1 BaB, -1 AC) for the round. Requires Lightsaber Combat, Force-User Level 8.

Form VIII: Saber Control : Your character is able of physically letting go with their lightsaber and combating an opponent through sheer Force ability. Character suffers -2 BaB while using this form. The range of this ability is the Force User's visual range. If the combat goes outside the visual range of the Force User, than they suffer a -8 BaB. While using this form, the Force User may do other things that require them to use their hands (control a ship, disarm a device, apply first aid etc) but when not paying attention to combat, they must make a concentration check (13+opponent's BaB) or lose concentration, causing the controlled lightsaber to drop to the ground. The Force User may use as many lightsabers as they like for this form, but for each added saber, the BaB drops another two points and the concentration check needed to keep the sabers in the air increases by +1. EX: Force User has three lightsabers attacking an opponent while he controls a ship. Their BaB are -2, -4 and -6, and the concentration check needed to keep them active is 13 + 3 (one for each lightsaber) + the opponents BaB. Requires Lightsaber Combat, Force-User Level 8, Concentration 10 Ranks, Telekinesis <Force>.
