Force Traditions

Even those who don't believe in The Force and aren't particularly attuned to its flow can call upon The Force without understanding exactly what they are doing. When a stroke of luck occurs, or fate seems to be on your side and helps you accomplish a difficult objective, it could be The Force coming to your aid. In game terms, the expenditure of Force Points by non-Force-using characters represents this unconscious, tenuous connection to the Force that all living things share. When a Force-using character calls on The Force this way, he or she knows exactly what's happening.

Membership: The conditions for being considered a member of a given Force Tradition are outlined in the description. A character may be a member of more than one Force Tradition, but this is uncommon.

Force Traditions

The most prominent and well-known Force-users in the galaxy are The Jedi. However, The Jedi are not the only ones who have learned to manipulate The Force. Other Force-users sometimes attribute their abilities to sources other than The Force, such as magic or gods, but they are all using the energy to manipulate the world around them. In game terms, anyone with the Force Sensitivity feat has the ability to master the Use the Force skill and learn Force Powers, though many of these beings will never go down this particular path.

Other Force-using Traditions include Dark Side cults (such as The Sith), and obscure, isolated sects such as The Witches of Dathomir and The Sorcerers of Tund. Some know The Force for what it is but approach its use in a different way from The Jedi. Others know The Force by a different name. Either way, it remains the mystic energy that binds the galaxy together and gives Force-users their powers.
