Force powers are handled like Arcana: there are three categories of Force skills (Neutral, Light, and Dark), each with a prerequisite feat (Force-Sensitive, Jedi Training, and Sith Training, respectively). The skills are broadly defined, permitting a lot of creativity in how characters utilize the Force. Most Force powers induce fatigue, however, which serves to limit frequency of use. In this system, Jedi dominate in melee -- as they should. But they get torn to pieces in ranged combat whenever the non-Jedi have time to coordinate a defense.If anyone's curious, the Force powers I use are:Absorb (Light): Utilize directed Force energy to invigorate self.Drain (Dark): Sap vitality from a living creature via the Force.Grip (Dark): Crush an opponent's innards using the Force.Heal (Light): Draw on the Force to overcome injury and illness.Jump (Neutral): Leap great distances using the Force.Lightning (Dark): Project blasts of raw Force energy.Link (Light): Contact other minds via the Force.Protect (Light): Erect a defensive barrier of Force energy.Rage (Dark): Draw on the Force to boost strength and agility.Rape (Dark): Siphon Force energy from a living creature.Scream (Dark): Utter a terrifying battlecry resonant with the Force.Sense (Neutral): Extend native senses using the Force.Shield (Neutral): Negate directed Force energy.Shift (Neutral): Move objects using the Force.Speed (Neutral): Achieve great speeds using the Force.Sunder (Light): Weaken a living creature's connection to the Force.Trick (Light): Influence susceptible minds via the Force.Veil (Neutral): Mask one's Force aura in order to avoid detection.</blockquote>
