Dark Side Powers

These powers are mighty examples of the Dark Side of the Force. A Dark Jedi who desires to show his ruthlessness should be quite pleased with these powers and strive to become proficient at each one!

CONTROL

• Rage - The Dark Side counterpart to Emptiness. The Dark Jedi must become tense, then let her mindless rage possess her! The Dark Jedi will enter a trance, and remain in such a state until she wishes to come out of it, or until someone makes physical contact with her. If revived by physical contact, she will awaken in a berserk rage and violently attack whoever roused her! Rage can be used in conjunction with Transfer Life! If it is used in such a fashion, the original body will be consumed completely by the Dark Side, evidenced by bursting into blue flames! "Raged" characters can sense when a hostile entity is near, so keep your distance!

ALTER

• Injure/Kill - The antithesis of Control Pain. The character inflicts pain, injury, or death upon an opponent! She must be in physical contact to perform this power!

CONTROL & ALTER

• Feed on Dark Side - The Dark Jedi can feed on the fear, hatred, or other negative emotions of those around her to make herself more powerful! The reason for the emotion does not matter to the Dark Side, the emotion alone is the key! The character will seek to make her foes angry, afraid, or filled with hatred, then she will feed upon those emotions to augment her own strength. (Now be honest folks, if something would make your character mad or scared, admit it, and then try to defeat me!)
• Force Lightning - Truly a corruption of the Force! The Dark Jedi who wields this power can hurl bolts of white or blue (or purple I suppose!) energy that take the appearance of lightning from her fingertips. The bolts rip through the target causing fantastic damage. Since this power is Force-generated, it can be repelled by using Dissipate Energy (of course we all saw how well that worked for Luke in ROTJ!) Pretty darn powerful ability, so use it sparingly!
• Inflict Pain - The character can use this to inflict great agony in her target! The actual physical result of the power is that the target is not able to move for several minutes after the attack. The Dark Jedi can not kill using this power, for it only stuns the target. She does not need to be in contact with her target to use this power.

CONTROL, SENSE, & ALTER

• Control Mind - The Dark Jedi can take control of another person, turning them into a puppet who must obey the character's will. If she attempts to take control of another Force sensitive person, she can not make them do anything that would cause the target harm, or do anything that would go completely against the Jedi code (if they follow the Light!)
• Create Force Storms - This could be the single most destructive Force power known! With this power, the Dark Jedi can rend the space-time continuum to trigger mighty storms of Force! She can also control the storms (sort of). The user of this power must focus her hate and anger to a nearly palpable degree, which can be dangerous. If she loses concentration, the storm could consume her!
• Doppelganger - the Dark Jedi can create an illusion of herself! The Doppelganger appears real to everyone present, fooling even droids and electrical devices. The user has the advantage of being able to sense everything that she would feel if she were actually present. If the Doppelganger is fatally injured, or the Dark Jedi loses concentration, the illusion simply fades into non-existence.
• Drain Life Essence - The character can draw life energy from the sentient life around her and channel the negative effects of the Dark Side into those victims! All living beings are a part of the Force, even if they are not aware of it. Many go through their day to day lives wasting a lot of their energy. This power allows the character to draw the energy that would be wasted from those beings. She then uses that energy for her own means!
• Telekinetic Kill - This power allows the Dark Jedi to telekinetically kill her opponent. The exact method varies: crushing a trachea, purée the brain, stop the heart, or a host of other ruthless methods. "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
• Transfer Life - The Dark Jedi can transfer her life energy into another body! This is a key to immortality, and one of the most twisted and evil of the Dark Side powers. It is nearly impossible to overcome a body when the original spirit is still residing in it, so this power is nearly useless without the ability to clone.

Special Dark Side Power

• Force Scream -Dark Jedi who become enraged can lose control of their emotions. This sometimes triggers ripples in the Force. Actually, "ripple" is a bit of an understatement. Tidal wave is more appropriate! It is sometimes defined as "a wave of hatred amplified and fueled by the Dark Side, that is capable of smashing through mental and physical defenses with ease." The Force Scream is a devastating occurrence. It not only brings harm to the enemies of the Dark Jedi causing it, but to the Dark Jedi himself!

Okay, that's about all of the Dark Side powers I can dig up. Use a little bit of prudence and moderation when toying with these powers! They are very powerful, and could offset the game balance! Let's all play nice, and nobody will get their feelings hurt! I have attempted to be fairly direct in describing what these powers do, however, if you are still not sure what a power does, and you JUST GOTTA know, get in touch with me.
