Force Powers

See also: The Force, Force Talents, Use the Force

Force Powers are special abilities available to anyone who takes the Force Training Feat. They allow characters to do astonishing things such as play tricks with the minds of others, move heavy objects, see into the future, and even blast foes with terrible arcs of lightning.

Learning Force Powers

A character who takes the Force Training Feat automatically learns a number of Force Powers equal to 1 + their Wisdom modifier (Minimum of 1). A character can learn additional Force Powers by taking the Force Training Feat again or by increasing their Wisdom modifier.

Using Force Powers

When your character uses a Force Power, make a Use the Force check. The check result determines the Force Power's effect.

Some Force Powers have all-or-nothing effects. Other Force Powers have multi-tiered effects, and your Use the Force check result determines the maximum effect you can achieve, although you can always choose a lesser effect. If your Use the Force check is too low to activate the Force Power's baseline effect, nothing happens and the action is wasted.

Your Force Power Suite

Your character's Force Powers collectively form a suite. When your character uses a Force Power, it's like playing a card and putting it in the discard pile. The Power takes effect, and it's no longer available to the character... at least for a while.

Regaining Force Powers

You have different ways to regain spent Force Powers so that you can use them again:

-When combat is over and you have a chance to rest for 1 minute, you regain all of your Force Powers.

-If you roll a natural 20 on a Use the Force check to activate a Force Power, you regain all spent Force Powers at the end of your turn.

-You can spend a Force Point as a Reaction and immediately regain one spent Force Power.

-Some unique abilities (Such as the Force Focus Talent) allow you to regain spent Force Powers in other ways.

Force Power Descriptors

Some Force Powers are more strongly tied to one side of the Force than the other. These Force Powers carry either the [Light Side] descriptor or the [Dark Side] descriptor. Powers that target creatures' minds carry the [Mind-Affecting] descriptor.

Dark Side

Using a Force Power with the [Dark Side] descriptor increases your Dark Side Score by 1. You cannot use a Force Point to modify your Use the Force check when activating a Force Power with the [Dark Side] descriptor. Dark Side Powers stem from powerful negative emotions, and include Dark Rage and Force Lightning.

Light Side

If you have a Dark Side Score of 1 or higher, you cannot use a Force Point to modify your Use the Force check when activating a Force Power with the [Light Side] descriptor. Light Side Powers are generally beneficial and include Sever Force and Vital Transfer.

Mind-Affecting

A Force Power with the [Mind-Affecting] descriptor has no effect on creatures that are mindless (That is, creatures with no Intelligence Score) or creatures that are immune to Mind-Affecting effects.

Telekinetic

A Force power with the [Telekinetic] descriptor uses telekinesis to accomplish its ends. Many telekinetic powers interact with the world physically in similar ways, and are covered as a group by some Force Talents. If a target of a [Telekinetic] Force Power has Cover, it gains a Cover bonus to its relevant Defense score or on it's opposed check to resist the Force Power. If the target of a [Telekinetic] Force power has Concealment, you take a penalty on your Use the Force check to activate the Force Power unless you have used the Sense Surroundings application of the Use the Force skill this turn.
