Also known as padawan learners, are deemed sufficiently trained and have enough knowledge of the world to be sent on minor missions without supervision. They still continue training under a formal master-apprentice bond.

This is the highest rank a player character can start at.

Starting Training When starting at the Padawan rank, the characters starts with 50 training points. Padawan must purchase at least one step in the Shii-Cho combat style, and at least one Skill. Furthermore, a starting padawan character must move a single virtue point to a Light Virtue.

Benefits Can go on some missions unsupervised. Can be apprenticed to a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master. May determine their own training, and has access to a wide range of training opportunities arranged by the Jedi Order, both inside and outside of the Jedi Temple, i.e., they have access to most Skill training, and can learn Force Powers and Combat Styles known within the Order and deemed appropriate for Padawan.

Duties Padawan are expected to behave in a manner reflecting positively on their master, to obey all Jedi Masters and Jedi Knights. Furthermore, they are expected to contribute to the overall improvement of the Jedi Order, and to perform those tasks the Jedi Council sets them on, even if this goes against their personal wishes. Above all, the Padawan is expected to learn and develop their understanding of the Jedi Code and the light virtues.

Advancement To be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, a padawan learner must be proposed as a candidate for promotion by their master when they deem their apprentice ready.

If the council agrees with the judgement of the padawan's master, the Padawan learner is called before the council to declare which philosophy they follow. This philosophy must be chosen from the accepted philosophies within the Jedi Order or it must be the teachings of their master, and the padawan's virtue distribution must match the philosophy's major virtues. If the padawan has more than one-fifth of their virtue points in Dark virtues, they will not be allowed to promote. The padawan must also have gained at least 100 training points in total.

The Council will then determine an appropriate Knight's Trial for them. This is a mission they must go on alone. Only after succesfully completing the trial will they be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight.

Upon promotion all ten of the characters Virtues are increased by one virtue point (putting the total number of virtue points for Jedi Knights at 25).
