Control & Sense & Alter
Control Difficulty: Game Master
Judges
Sense Difficulty: Target's Control
or Perception roll
Alter Difficulty: Slight, momentary misperceptions, minor changes to distant memories, or
no resistance from target (Very Easy), brief visible phenonmena, memories less than a year old, or
minor emotions regarding a coming conclusion (Easy), short hallucinations, memories less than a day
old, or if the target has strict orders of a conclusion (Moderate), slight disguise to facial features,
hallucinations which can be sensed with 2 senses, memories less than a minute old, or if the matter
involving the conclusion is very important to the target (Difficult). Hallucinations that can be sensed
with all 5 senses, a major memory change, or if the logic is absolutely clear, then coming to the
wrong conclusion is virtually impossible.
Required Powers: None
Time to Use:
One round
Effect: This power is used to alter a character's perception so
that he senses an illusion or fails to see what the Jedi doesn't want him/her to see. Before making skill roles, the character must
describe exactly what she/he wants the effect to be. The power is normally on one target, 2+ targets can
only be affected if the power is used 2+ times. A character believes he/she is affected by any successful
illusions-they would feel a blow. If he/she thinks he/she was injured, pain would be felt, or if he/she
thought they were killed, they would become unconscious. The character does not suffer any true
injury. This power can't be used to affect droids and does not work through recording devices.
Control Difficulty: Moderate, modified
by level of power required
Computer, Electric kettle (Moderate)
Lightsaber, Blaster (Difficult)
Repulsorlift Vehicle (Very Difficult)
Starship (Heroic)
Sense Difficulty: Moderate, modified
by complexity of item to be powered
Electric Kettle (Moderate)
Lightsaber, Blaster (Difficult)
Vehicle (Very Difficult)
Computer (Heroic)
Alter Difficulty: Difficult. This power
can be "kept up".
Required Powers: None
Time to Use:
One round or more
Effect: Enables the user to convert Force energy into some other form of energy. This enables the user to fire a blaster or wield a lightsabre which has a dead power pack. Of course if an item is over-powered, it could burn out or even explode. Under-power the item and it may fail to function or function inefficiently. If the Control roll is failed by 5 or less then the item is under-powered. If the Sense roll is failed by 5 or less and the control roll succeeded by greater than 5 then the item has been over-powered. This power is not restricted to electrical energy, any kind of energy can be produced, but this power does not enable the user to use Force Lightning, project heat from their eyes even project a beam of light from an open palm. It can only be used to power some sort of powered item.
Control Difficulty: Difficult
Sense Difficulty: Difficult
Alter Difficulty: Moderate. Modified by proximity.
Required Powers: Concentration, Telekinesis
Time to Use:
One round
Effect: Allows the user to strike at an opponent, inflicting damage without physically touching the target. The target must be in within the user's line of sight. Use of this power is very risky. In many cases, projected fighting is quite simply using the Force to attack. However, the user attempting to use Projected Fighting can choose to cause stun damage only, and even then should only attempt to use this power if it is to protect an innocent in immediate danger. A user who uses Projected Fighting for any other reason, or causes anything more serious than stun damage, recives a Dark Side Point. After successfully using the power, the user makes a Brawling skill roll. If attacking a Force-sensitive, the target may use the Control or Brawling Parry skill to avoid the attack. Otherwise, the target cannot deflect the user's blows. If the target is not Force-sensitive a Difficult Brawling Parry roll is neccesary to block the user's attack. If the Brawling roll is successful, the user rolls his or her full Strength versus the target's Strength. The user may target a specific portion of the body (which adds +1D to damage), but must subtract an additional -1D from his/her Brawling skill. Be sure to add any armor bonuses that the target may have. This power can be kept up as long as the distance between the user and the target remains the same. Should the target move significantly or the user wish to select a new targer, the power must be rerolled.
Control Difficulty: Difficult. Modified by proximity.
Sense Difficulty: Difficult. Modified by proximity.
Alter Difficulty: Moderate. This power
can be "kept up".
Required Powers: Life Detection, Life Sense, Receptive Telepathy, Projective Telepathy
Time to Use:
Couple minutes
Effect: Allows several willing Jedi to manifest the power of the Light Side. As long as
this power is held up, it bathes the users in the Light, acting as a shield against the Dark Side,
giving +5D for each Force user involved to resist the effects of powers called upon by Dark Side
servants. This bonus is not as great as it appears since a Jedi will receive a -2D penalty for calling
on this power. One can only link with up to as many as the initiator has in Control or Sense,
whichever is lower. When acting as a shield against the Dark Side, if both Control and Sense rolls exceed the success
roll of the Dark Side power used (if multiple rolls, then the highest roll), the Dark Side power is
interrupted. All "up" powers are interrupted as if the user were stunned. It doesn't cancel out the
presence of the Dark Side, but can distract its servants and make their actions more difficult.
Control Difficulty: Moderate
Sense Difficulty: Easy +1 for each
opponent past the first
Alter Difficulty: Moderate. This skill
can be "kept up".
Required Powers: Most or all of the standard frequently occurring skills
Time to Use:
Several minutes
Effect: Allows the user to sink into a lower state of consciousness, where all concentration is upon the battle. While in this "trance" (for lack of a better word), add the user's Control, Sense, and Alter dice to any combat skill rolls, (Mainly Dexterity skills, Willpower, Perception attribute (but not any Perception skills. Example: use for Initiative checks, and to see if a character notices something), Climbing/Jumping skill, and Stamina skill). A user may not use Battle Meditation, and the Lightsabre skill for the same action (make the player choose one or the other). Although most other Force skills may be used in conjunction with Battle Meditation.
***Note: Battle Meditation is a Force skill that was taught to students only as one of the final steps in training. Usually, by the
time a Jedi learns the art of Lightsabre Combat, the Jedi would also have learned the Battle Meditation. This is a Light Side
power, and by it's very nature cannot be used for evil (since anger, rage, and other inherently evil acts would disturb the Jedi's
trance and bring him/her/it out of the trance). Also, this skill was practiced widely by Jedi in the time of the Old Republic. It was
taught on the Jedi learning center on Ossus. But, the skill may have been lost during the Great Purge. Only Jedi that survived the
Purge would have knowledge of the skill, and may teach it. Yoda may have had knowledge of Battle Meditation, but that knowledge may
have been lost when he became one with the Force.
Control Difficulty: Easy
Sense Difficulty: Easy. Modified by proximity
Alter Difficulty: Easy. This power may be "kept up".
Required Powers: Affect Mind, Control Pain, Control Another's Pain, Dim Another's Senses,
Hibernation Trance, Life Detection, Life Sense, Receptive Telepathy, Sense Force, Transfer Force
Time to Use: One round or more
Effect: Allows user to draw power from nearby nonsentient beings to boost his/her
ability to go without sleep. As long as this power is kept up, the user will not fatigue or require
sleep. Use of the power depends on a ready supply of nearby insects, small rodents, birds, etc. from which
to draw energy. This power may not be used to draw energy from sentient beings.

Effect: Allows a user to sift through another person's mind, and destroy all
knowledge of specific events or learned skills. Use of the skill requires direct contact with the
target, and only one specified objective can be pursued per use.
***Warning: User gains 1 Dark Side

Receptive Telepathy, Sense Force, Telekinesis, Projective Telepathy, Control Another's Pain,
Transfer Force, Affect Mind, Dim Another's Senses.
Time to Use:
One round or more
Effect: Creates a Doppleganger of the user. Though the
Doppleganger is merely an illusion, it will interact and appear to be real. The user can sense all
normal senses through the Doppleganger, including a "feel" of normal substances. Dopplegangers
also register normally on all droids' audio and video sensors. The Doppleganger acts with half the skill
dice of the person that created it. Every 5 minutes, the user must roll again to maintain the Doppleganger.
If the user stops using the Doppleganger or it is fatally injured, it simply fades away.
***Warning: User gains 1 Dark Side
Point.

Dissipate storm (Very Difficult)
Required Powers: Hibernation Trance, Life Detection, Life Sense, Magnify Senses, Receptive
Telepathy, Sense Force, Telekinesis, Farseeing, Projective Telepathy, Instinctive Astrogation, Rage
Time to Use:
Several rounds. Five to ten minutes.
Effect: This is one of the most destructive Force power known. Creating Force Storms allow the
user to twist the space-time continuum. The power also allows limited control of these storms. If
large enough, entire fleets of surfaces of planets can be annihilated. This power requires an
extreme focus of hate and anger, dangerously increasing the danger involved. When creating a Force
Storm, the character must determine the diameter and amount of damage (on a capital scale.) If he/she fails
on any rolls, the storm summons enough damage, but goes after the summonor. The summoner
can use unusual maneuvers with the storm, like creating a vortex to draw victims to a specified point,
at a +10 difficutly. This tears a hole in reality and may allow a person to travel to other dimensions.

Effect: This power allows a Jedi to draw life energy from those around him/her and to channel
the negative effects of the Dark Side into those victims. A Jedi must roll this power once a day to
"keep it up," leading to die penalties. The amount of energy being drained depends on the number of
people being drained and for how long.
For people who have been drained for less than 1 week or longer than one month:
1-5: One Force Point per week
6-50: Once Force Point per 5 days
51-1000: One Force Point per 3 days
1001-50,000: Once Force Point per 2 days
50,001-1 million: Once Point per day

Accelerate Another's Healing, Control Another's Pain, Transfer Force, Affect
Mind
Time to Use:
One round or more
Effect: Allows character to transfer his/her life energy into another body. The key to
immortality itself, this is one of the most difficult and evil of all Dark Side powers. To overcome a
spirit already residing in a body is nearly impossible. This is why the power is nearly useless
without the ability to clone host bodies. Though theoretically possible, it is not yet known what the
effect on an unborn fetus would be. Fortunately, there is almost no history of this power being used successfully.
It is believed that if the user's body perishes as an attempt fails, the user's life energy is lost, dispersed to the void.
***Warning: Any character who uses this gains TWO Dark Side Points. If the host is unwilling, he/she will receive FOUR Dark Side Points.
