Star Wars: The Chosen One (An Anakin Skywalker Quest)

Force Stealth
No cloaking from force users until mastery? At all?

Telekinesis
The Star destroyer is estimated by some to mass 40 megatons. And has powerful engines. Also, why is such stupid level of power needed to TK control lightsabers in a fight effectively? Every jedi can TK throw their LS like a boomerang, it should nor be THAT hard, much less need such stupid amounts of power that Yoda himself cant match (by orders of magnitude).

Telepathy
I dont remember any mind reading in Star Wars. Only some forms of empathy and mind control.

Animal Friendship:
Seems like a relatively simple application of telepathy on simple minds to me.

Force Heal:
Level 5: +6 WIsdom, +6 Con, May resurrect one dead person in your life so long as they have not been gone for over 5 years.
what
Isnt level 5 meant to be conventional mastery, and not transcendental bullshit? Also, resurrection is about a viable body (healing), but also needs to recover/have a recording of the mind/soul. Should be part one of the resurrection skill unlock at most.

Force Stun:
If its mental, it should be under telepathy. How does this work?

Force Choke:
Sub skill od TK. I dont remember ever seeing it used on force users outside of the games. Easy to disrupt maybe?
Level 1: + 2 Wisdom, 1 Opponent may be stunned at beginning of the fight and loses 1D4 Damage
Level 5: +10 Wisdom, Abilities of force Choke apply to all opponents and lose 2D12 Damage
Does the dmg of all chokes increase with level? As written it does not seem to.
Big jump from one opponent to all at mastery.

Force Lightning:
Does the dmg of all applications increase with level? As written it does not seem to.
Big jump from one opponent to all at mastery.

Force Fear:
Telepathy sub skill, big jump from one target to all again. Should have more targets then lighting and much more the choke I think.

GM Note: Upon becoming afraid, opponent must make a DC Check upon the next round. If afraid for two consecutive rounds, they surrender.
This is not how fear works. Far more likely they will run. They might also get desperate, which would be bad.

Shatterpoint:
Level 5: +6 Intelligence, +6 WIsdom, Begin to see shatterpoints in time. Decisions Unlocked. See the results of a decision before vote occurs.
...Are you sure?

Battle Meditation:
The biggest benefit of BM is the improved coordination of large forces enhanced with precog. This is not reflected.

For a lot of those I just took the ability of wookiepedia and KOTOR game.

I debated just having three categories though of alter, control, and sense that you level up.

Thoughts?

'Telekinetic Saber Style' means a a form of lightsaber combat where you constantly telekinetically control your lightsaber(s), like Kreia/Darth Traya does. Being capable of using a simple Sword Throw doesn't fall under that and should be unlocked much earlier.

Sword Throw is a simple application of TK on sword(s). It is the logical first step, if not quite there yet.

Thanks. I remember it now from KOTOR (praise be!).
Seems like a specific skill under telepathy to me.

I think the QM is going for Summon fear here, not a simple variation of the Mind Trick. Hence why it's qualified as a Dark Side power, since Summon Fear falls explicitly under the Dark Side while Mind Trick is a Neutral Force Ability.

...Yeah, thats Dark alright. Considering the mentions of magic and intricate finger movements it probably isnt merely an application of telepathy.

I'm pretty sure the improved coordination is reflected in the bonus to Strategy and the other bonuses to our troops. I mean, merely saying "your troops coordinate better" doesn't mean much, you gotta have concrete mechanical benefits.

...maybe? I read that as a general increase to our strategy skill from the training, like with stats. Maybe it buffs the strategy skill of our sides leader?
This power is damn hard to stat. Maybe just multiply whatever numbers you use in mass combat depending on its level @Arthellion ? Simple, and should work well enough.

Some form of skill trees would reflect reality (the Star Wars one) much better. Such as Choke being a subskill of TK, with power buffed/determined by the TK level. Or maybe merely a trick one can learn to do that unlocks using TK in that way? No leveling choke needed.

Not sure about alter and control. What about Energy (includes TK, force jump, lighting), Mind (empathy, mind control/trick, illusions), Sense (precog, postcog, clairvoyence, empathy)? Ofc lots of force powers dont fit into these, but 99% of what we see of Force in the movies or games does.

Edit: Is Force Lighting actual lighting? Considering the energy weapons in this verse and how feared the Lightning seems to be from what I remember reading, I doubt it. Maybe not Energy this one.

Hmm, Force Choke is an explicit Dark Side ability though. Some Jedi have been shown to use it as well but I don't think the majority of them would be capable of that, even if their Telekinesis is high enough.
 
[X] [Personality] Frustrated: I need to be better!
[X] [Story] Leave with Master Zan and Join the Followers of Palawa.

Mmm i like both options, but i have never read a story of the followers of palawa, much less one with Arden Lyn :lol
I hope that in the future we can at least befriend Ahsoka and Obi Wan :D
 
Well, Voda and Mace were both capable of blocking or redirecting Sidious tier force lightning.

Former through tutaminis and later through Vaapad.

Part of the reason it is hard to stat is y'all haven't seen the massive battles gameplay mechanics yet.

As a general, your army/navy will have stats and such going agaibst other army/navies if you get to that point.

Well, yeah, using your TK to choke someone to death seems pretty Dark to me.
TK is neutral, specific applications dont have to be. The intent matters.

Oh, its blockable, but not easily from what I have read. Also, its effect doesnt seem right for lighting. And why would you bother? Just buy a clarktech taser. No, its probably a lighting looking stream of destructive dark side energies or something like that.

@Arthellion maybe somethings like this. Have 3 or 4 core force talents (energy, mind, senses) (all neutral) and then give each sub-talents for specific powers that can each have their own alignment.

Make the primary talent the power you have in a set and the individual skills the finesse.

(This is with a fonze voice)EEEEEEHHHHHH(two thumbs up) this guys got the right idea
 
I still think this quest will be fun, but I am a bit disappointed I won't be able to see stuff I have not seen before. Still since we are going Jedi what's the plan now? Master Niman and Shii Cho are obvious, but what do we focus on force wise?

Damn, well fingers cross that we don't roll for Maul and if we that Master Zan can protect Anakin's family.
 
Jar'kai + Niman.

Force skills? Force stealth, telekinetics, Force speed, Force heal and telepathy.

Force heal for obvious reasons, telepathy will help us in diplomacy, investigation and such shit, Stealth will provide us the ability to sneak into places, which will be pretty useful as a jedi during missions.

If we don't leave earlier, I would lean toward training as a Jedi Sentinel.

She is staying for a week so if he comes she will be there still. Owen is one of her students and she has known our family for years now, so she is a little invested. She could also just not be there when he arrives or not do anything.
