Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast_Force Powers_Lightning

Duration: Variable

Area of Effect: Living persons only

Energy Cost: 7 points

Effect: Allows Jedi to hurl a devastating electrical attack against enemies.

Sample Force Lightning

Rank 1 - Jedi launches a single bolt that flies forward, doing instant damage.

Rank 2 - Jedi can maintain the Force Lightning for a sustained forward attack.

Rank 3 - Jedi emanates a sustained fan of electricity in a large forward arc, damaging anything in front of him.

Force Lightning is not a particularly powerful attack. However, it does do some damage, and more importantly, is very difficult to avoid. If you aim at the enemy well, you will almost certainly hit them, be it a lowly Stormtrooper or a fearsome Shadow Trooper.

Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast_Force Powers_Grip

Duration: Instantaneous

Area of Effect: Living persons only

Energy Cost: 3 points

Effect: Allows Jedi to choke or constrict the organs of a living being.

Sample Force Grip

Rank 1 - Affected enemy is gripped and held undamaged, but immobile for 5 seconds. Jedi must remain stationary.

Rank 2 - Enemy is affected similarly to rank 1, but the grip can damage and lift enemies with prolonged focus of the grip. Jedi must remain stationary.

Rank 3 - Enemy is affected similarly to rank 2, but the Jedi can move freely and smash the enemy into walls and other obstacles around him or use the enemy as a shield while still doing choke damage.

Everyone loves how Darth Vader was able to choke his hapless victims to death just by making a stangling position with his hand. Now, you can do it too.

Force Grip is a power that really evolves over time. At first it is used just to stun enemies, then it can be used to damage them slightly, and finally to actually despose of them by sending them flying into walls or objects.

MindTrick

Duration: Variable
Area of Effect: Humanoids
Energy Cost: 3 points
Effect: Allows Jedi to confuse and/or misdirect attention.

Sample MindTrick (Kyle using mindtrick power )

Rank 1 - Jedi can distract and confuse a signle enemy for 5 seconds.
Rank 2 - Jedi can distract and confuse multiple enemies for 10 seconds.
Rank 3 - Jedi can distract and confuse multiple enemies for 15 seconds or befriend one enemy.

NOTE: Aggressive action or loud noises made by the Jedi will alert the enemy and cancel the effect. Mind tricks don't work on some more powerful enemies like Dark Jedi or Reborn.

Mind Trick is a great tool for sneaking up on characters. If you mind trick the enemies, you can take them out one by one with them even noticing.

At rank 3, you have the ability to make one enemy turn sides and fight for you momentarily. Since the effects are short, it isn't incredibly helpful, but it is nice.


Mind Trick is often used to get characters to do special things for you, like open doors.
