Foreword
The Force is an energy field that’s created by all living things. It binds them. It penetrates them. It binds the universe together.
For millennia, numerous individuals have sensed, manipulated, and studied the Force. The various practitioners and scholars of the
Force met on Tython thirty-five thousand years before the famed Battle of Yavin and formed the predecessors of the Jedi Order.
However, a myriad collection of Force traditions existed at the time. Some chose to send representatives to Tython, while others
chose not to participate at all. Furthermore, additional Force traditions came to be after the formation of the Jedi Order. In addition,
the Jedi Order, both old and new, have learned a good number of powers and abilities that have yet to be seen by the public or have
been seen very rarely.
This manuscript details all these rare powers as well as the numerous powers exhibited by other Force traditions, as well as explain
the role-playing mechanics necessary to play these powers in the game. The mechanics are based on the D6 mechanics used by West
End Game’s Star Wars Roleplaying Game. The manuscript also gives suggestions on which skills and stats a member from one of
these other Force traditions should have, should learn, or should be able or permitted to learn.
I wish to acknowledge that a good number of these powers have previously been published by others. Powers and spells that have
been published in other works by West End Games belong to said company. Many powers have been converted to D6 stats from
various works published by Wizards of the Coast for their Star Wars d20 Roleplaying Game. A few have appeared on now defunct
websites, such as the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG Databank and SWRPGNetwork. I have copied the powers for my personal use and
just in case these websites were to go down or the servers that host said websites were to go down. Both sites had gone down, and
though SWRPGNetwork has come back in a limited fashiond, many of the stats that had previously been on the site are still absent.
Finally, a few have either been created by others, or I have converted them from original powers created by others. In most of these
cases, I openly acknowledge that these powers were created by others. In the last case, I have talked with the people who created or
converted these powers, and I have gained their permission to list their powers or my conversion of those powers in this document.
The one exception is two powers that originally appeared on the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG Databank. I do not wish to infringe on
any copyright issues, so if the person who created these powers is reading this and wants me to remove them from this work, please
make a post or send me a private message, and I will do so immediately.
Finally, with the exception of those powers that fall into any of the categories listed in the previous paragraph, all the powers listed
here are my creations and are therefore fan-made. The gamemasters have the option to incorporate the powers listed in this work into
their games, or to reject them completely.

Restricted: As Krynda Draay developed this power for the
Jedi Covenant, it was a power exclusive to this group. Jedi
who wasn’t members of this group weren’t trained to use this
power. Considering how the Jedi Covenant came to its
apparent end, the power was considered lost. However, a
small group survived the demise of the Covenant, but chose to
remain in isolation. This small group knew this power, but
whether or not they taught it to future genreations, and
whether or not the group chose to rejoin the Jedi Order at
some point in the future is shrouded in mystery. It is strongly
suggested that the GM keep this in mind when considering
whether or not to make this power available to any Jedi of
subsequent time periods.

Jedi Shadow
Powers
Jedi Shadows are elite Jedi Sentinels who specialize in
abilities that aid them in the pursuit of dark side users in all
forms and locations. While members of the Jedi Order choose
the path of the Jedi Shadow, the Jedi Covenant also had
members who pursued the same path – Jedi Covenant
Shadows.
While the powers listed in this section are available to all
Jedi, they are mainly used by those who follow the path of the
Jedi Shadow. Furthermore, some of these powers require the
Jedi Shadow to have a certain die code in non-Force skills.

Control Powers

Control Difficulty: Difficult.
Required Powers: Sense Force.
Effect: The Jedi Shadow can cloak his or her intentions with a
veil of anger and hate. When another Force-sensitive tries to
sense the Jedi Shadow in any way, the other individual will

Jedi Watchman
Powers
Jedi Watchmen are elite Jedi who are tasked with watching
over a specific world or region of space. They seek out and
destroy threats to the Republic and the Jedi Order.
To become a Jedi Watchman, a Jedi must be appointed and
then approved by the Jedi Council. Then the Jedi, many of
whom are Jedi Consulars, receive special training to enhance
their abilities to blend in and investigate the threats at the
source. The Watchman’s assignment may change at the
Council’s discretion.
While the powers listed in this section are available to all
Jedi, they are mainly used by those who follow the path of the
Jedi Watchman. Furthermore, some of these powers require
the Jedi Watchman to have a certain die code in non-Force
skills.

Control, Sense, and Alter Powers

Force Warning
Control Difficulty: Moderate.
Sense Difficulty: Moderate or attacker’s control roll.
Alter Difficulty: Moderate.
Required Powers: Danger sense, life detection, sense Force.
Effect: At the start of an encounter, if any allies within 20
meters of the Jedi Watchman are surprised, but the Jedi
Watchman isn’t, the Jedi Watchman can designate a number
of these allies. The number of allies the Jedi Watchman can
designate equals to the number of pips assigned to his or her
Perception die above 1D divided by 2, rounded down. For
example, with a Perception of 1D+2, the Jedi Watchman can
designate 1 ally. 2D is again 1 ally, but 2D+1 means 2 allies.
The allies the Jedi Watchman designates are no longer
surprised and can act normally.
For every +5 the Jedi Watchman’s sense roll beats the
difficulty, the Jedi Watchman can designate an additional ally.

but physically exhausted for 2D rounds.
The psychic avatar can make the same attribute and skill
rolls as the telepath. As it is a psychic construct and lacks a
physical body, it is immune to any affect that require a
stamina or Strength roll to resist. Willpower rolls are the
same, but on rolls that normally require dodge or Dexterity to
evade, the psychic avatar uses willpower or Knowledge
instead.
While the telepath’s mind is in the psychic avatar, the
telepath can perceive people and objects up to 20 meters away.
Anything beyond that range and anyone who is hidden from
his or her thought sensor cannot be perceived. The psychic
avatar can interact with other psychic avatars and Force spirits
that are within that range.
The psychic avatar can move in any direction and pass
through walls, but it cannot physically manipulate the
surroundings or harm living creatures. It can launch purely
mental attacks towards opponents, which include the powers
listed in this section. It can also launch physical attacks
against other psychic avatars and Force spirits, inflicting 1D
damage per successful strike.
While within the psychic avatar, the telepath’s mind is as
vulnerable to mental attacks and mind-affecting powers as it
would be back in the telepath’s physical body.
Psychic avatars can neither use nor be affected by
telekinetic powers or powers that invoke a Strength roll to
resist.
The psychic avatar can still take damage as the telepath
would. Once the psychic avatar is “killed”, the telepath’s
mind returns to the body. Should the psychic avatar be killed
by an attack that had an excess of damage, the telepath’s body

When using the spell in this manner, the Sith sorcerer must

permanent in nature.
It is possible for another Sith sorcerer to exert his or her
control over an area that has been affected by this spell. In
doing this, he gains control of the dead, and he and his
companions can travel through the area without the dead
attacking him. To do this, the Sith must make the required
control and sense die roll, while the alter roll must be made
against the roll made by the previous Sith sorcerer. If the alter
roll succeeds, the Sith can travel through the area unbothered
by the undead. Should the alter roll succeeds by ten or more,
the Sith also gains control of the area, and the zombies now

succeeded in creating the zombie guardians of the Valley of
Golg, his alter die roll was 36. If another Sith Lord, like Naga
Sadow, wishes to travel through the Valley of Golg
unhindered, he needs to make an alter roll of at least 37. If
Naga Sadow makes a roll of 46, the Valley of Golg will now
see him as their master and will follow his orders.
There are only two ways to defeat this spell if it is cast over
an area in a permanent fashion, such as it had been in the
Valley of Golg. One would be for a Sith to exercise
dominance of the spell and end it. Ending the spell is an
option no Sith would consider, as the spell provides the Sith
with perhaps the perfect guardians. The other means would be
for a powerful Jedi Master or a group of Jedi to use the wall of
light power on the area. If the latter method is used, the GM
should consult the associated power for additional details.
Any Jedi using this power automatically receives a Dark

Note: It is fortunate for the Jedi and the galaxy at large that
the knowledge necessary to cast this spell has been lost to the
ravages of time. Its legacy, however, endures even to the
Legacy Era. There are places in the galaxy, like Dromund
Kass and the Valley of Golg on Korriban, where the spell is
still active, and the undead continue their vigil as commanded
by their long-deceased masters. There have also been

are successful, the user can mask the target’s presence in the
Force from other Force-users using life detection, life sense,
receptive telepathy, or sense Force.
If a Force-user is trying to sense the presence of the target,
the user can oppose the opponent’s sense roll with his alter

sense roll, the target has evaded detection.
If several Force-users are trying to detect the target, the

Author’s Note: To date, the only non-Aing-Tiis to have
learned this power are Jacen Solo, Ben Skywalker, and
possibly Jysella Horn. Honoring the Aing-Tii’s wish for
secrecy, Jacen Solo had not taught this power to anyone else.
Ben Skywalker used this power only once and has sworn
never to use it again. The chance of Ben Skywalker teaching
others this power is extremely slim. Cilghal attributed Jysella
Horn’s ability to see moments in the future and avoid traps
and ambushes while she attempted to escape from the Jedi
Temple to flow-walking. However, it is possible she was
mistaken. Whether Abeloth knew this power herself or gained
knowledge of this power from Jacen Solo is unknown. None
of the other Jedi affected by the Force psychosis demonstrated
this power, and if Jysella Horn does indeed know this power,
she has not utilized this power after her recovery. However,
the possibility that she might teach this power to others exists.
Whether or not this power becomes available to the Jedi after
the Fate of the Jedi series is up the GM’s discretion.
Considering how controversial and unbalancing it is, the GM
should be discouraged from doing so.

Effect: Inspired by Vodo-Siosk Baas’ ability to empower his

have developed a means of empowering their body armor by
imbuing it with the Force. The amount of additional
protection the armor receives depends on the alter difficulty
roll, but since area imbued by the Force is much larger than a
melee weapon, the amount of additional protection is less than
the amount of additional damage a Jedi could inflict on an
opponent with a melee weapon affected by Force weapon.

The additional protection is enough to withstand ordinary

melee weapons and vibroweapons. It can also deflect a few
blaster shots.
When it comes to a lightsaber, the protection is enough to
withstand only one glancing blow. Had Darth Vader used this
power on his own suit in The Empire Strikes Back, it would
have deflected the glancing blow Luke inflicted on his upper
right arm, leaving the area uninjured. Howver, after deflecting
the glancing blow, the protection granted by this power would
have ended immediately. In addition, this power doesn’t offer
any protection against a solid blow given by a lightsaber, such
as a stab through the chest or being cut from shoulder to hip.

Playing a Nightsister

The Nightsisters have lived for centuries on a harsh planet

devoid of technology. That had shaped their upbringing and
the skills that are generally available to them. Some of the
Nightsisters have offered their services to offworld patrons,
thus allowing them to bring either advanced technology to the
tribe or financial means to obtain said technology. It’s only
when Palpatine quarantined the planet and placed a garrison
there that advanced technology generally became more
available for the Nightsisters.

is healing the exit wounds and staving off infection. The lor

If the roll fails during the first part, the lor pelek must start

Wasp fever generally lasts three or four days, so the sooner

Author’s Note: This power is available to the Theran
Listeners regardless of time period. It is unknown if Jacen
Solo learned this power while he was among the Theran
Listeners. If he had, it is highly unlikely that he had taught it
to others. When Luke Skywalker first arrived to Nam Chorios
in pursuit of Abeloth, he learned of the existence of this
power. And while he was initially interested in learning the
healing techniques of the Theran Listeners, he chose to learn
the mnemotherapy power instead. As such, it is highly
unlikely that this power will be available for members of Luke
Skywalker’s Jedi order. It will be up to the GM’s discretion as
to whether or not this power will be available for members of
Luke Skywalker’s Jedi order, but it’s availability will only be
after the events of the Fate of the Jedi series.

Alter Difficulty: Very Easy. Modified by relationship.
Required Powers: Accelerate another’s healing, control

Time to Use: One minute
Effect: This technique allows a Voss Mystic to draw on the
strength of others to heal an injured patient.
The Voss Mystic first draws on the Force and establishes a
link with every individual from whom he or she is drawing
strength from. The user then channels the strength from the
links into the patient, allowing the patient to make two natural
healing healing rolls for the current day twelve hours apart.
The patient normally gets a +2 modifier to both Strength rolls
to heal. However, because of the link the Voss Mystic
establishes with other participants, for every two individuals
with whom the Voss Mystic establishes a link, the patient
receives an additional +1 modifier to both Strength rolls to
heal.
Author’s note: The Sith Lord Fulminiss learned how to
perform this ritual, and later corrupted the ritual into a version
of summon fears or fear that allowed him to drive individuals
mad across great distances. This doesn’t necessitate the
formation of a new power.

Effect: Possibly derived from grenade defense, the Ysanna
tribesmen perfected this power as a means of ensuring that the
projectiles fired from their concussion bow slug throwers
struck their targets. Once the projectile is fired, the Ysanna
use the Force to bend and “guide” the trajectory of the
projectiles towards their target. This ensured great accuracy
and makes them precise marksmen.
While not particularly taxing, since the tribesmen have
been able to empty their entire clips and guide all their shots
towards the target, this power did require concentration.
Furthermore, this power had a greater chance of success the
farther away the tribesman is from the target, as it gives the
tribesman more distance and time to guide the shot towards
the target.

to make the descriptions virtually identical. There are minor
differences between the two, but it is these differences that
help distinguish one from the other and reflect the different
