Instead  of the normal 24 hour bonus gained from moving towards your destiny,  you gain an additional Destiny Point. You may not have more destiny  points than your character level. Instead of the normal 24 hour penalty  for acting opposed to your destiny, you are unable to spend destiny  points until you act in a way that moves you closer to your destiny. Multiple Destinies:  you can have more than one active destiny at any given time; but only  once you have fulfilled at least one Destiny. This means you can select  an additional Destiny or a Legacy; and then choose another one, and went  you actually complete it, maybe get a new one along with your current  Legacy. If you surpass the 20th level, you could now choose two  sinultaneous destinies, apart from your existing Legacy. Note that you  also have the option of selecting a background and planet of origin  without using one of your Destiny slots.When using a Destiny  Point, you cannot benefit from any effect "triggered"  when an automatic  natural 20 is rolled (such as automatically restoring a character's  Force Suite by spending a Destiny Point, or using the Jedi Master’s  serenity class feature for example). Note that when the situation  arises, a to dice rolled and its result, is mandatory on the table; that  means that if a character scores a hit by rolling a natural  20, the  oposing character cannot use a DP to nullify such attack.The Act of Turn  option may not be executed during round zero (surprise round), or  during round one; you could use it only during and after the second  round of initiave order. Additionally the extra round worth of actions  may very well be played separately at the ends of everybody's turn, just  before the new round begins, to disencourage ruling exploits where  multiple full attacks take effect in an outrageous manner.Lure of the Dark Side:  In a campaign that solely focuses on the Force, the dark side can be  truly tempting. Every character has the corruption destiny in addition  to their normal destiny, best used as a secret destiny. If using  multiple destinies simultaneously, the corruption destiny doesn't use  one of your Destiny slots.How to determine what type of action is in line with a character's particular destiny: There  is a game mechanic that is already in place when a character  accomplishes a goal or performs a task that clearly moves him or her  closer to fulfilling their destiny (GM's determination); however, the  folowing list samples out situations were the GM should reward players  with a Destiny Point.•   Champion - Impress a smuggling cartel to joining your cause by a winning game of sabacc.•   Corruption - Uncover a sector governor's weakness to manipulate for your own gains.•   Creation - Unlock a hidden vault to acquire a rare schematic for a new starfighter.•   Destruction - Slice a terminal to analyse the plans for the weakness in a new hypermatter core.•   Discovery - An old navicomp turns out to contain astrogation data for a unknown planet.•   Education - Find a clue to the location of a lost Jedi Holocron containing forgotten teachings.•   Legacy - Calling upon a life debt a character's ancestor shared with your own family.•   Liberation - Become elected a representative of an oppressed planet by discrediting your opponent.  •   Redemption - Locate and unlock a secret entrance to the Sith Academy your brother joined.•   Rescue - Accidentally get in the way of the assassin's attack on a senator's life.•   We've Been Through A Lot - Initiate a risky hyperspace jump to safety with a damaged navicomp.Any comments?</blockquote>
