The hallmark of Jedi is their use of the Force to perceive and influence the world. In FWURG, Force Powers are represented as distinct powers, each of which has a specific effect upon the world. A FForce powers can only be learned or used if the Jedi meets certain [[Virtue]] requirements. If the character fails to meet these requirements for any reason, the force power cannot be used by the character (but they still know it, and can only be used if the character meets certain [[virtue]] requirements. If the character fails to meet thesregain access simply by meeting the requirements for any reason, the force power cannot be used by the character. The Virtue requirements for using a force power are the same as for learning the power in the first place, meaning that you can always use a power you just learned. Furthermore, some Force Powers can only be learned after mastering other, more basic, Force powersonce more). //[[Jedi Progression]]: A Force PowerCharacter Creation]]: Starting characters can only be learned from someone that knows it, or from a holocron (or similar Force-related source of knowledge)acquire force powers with their starting [[training points]].

[cols] * **Light Force Rating** represents the Jedi's use of their understanding of the Light virtues to influence the world through the Force. * **Dark Force Rating** shows the Jedi's use of their insight into the Dark virtues to influence the world through the Force. The Light and Dark Force ratings are computed by simply counting the number of Light and Dark force powers a character has (including the 3 [[Innate Force Powers]]). For example, if a jedi has [[Force Jump]] and * [[Mid-Air Redirect]], their Light Force Rating would * [[Precision Landing]] * [[Safe Fall]] * [[Force Speed]] * [[Wallrun]] * [[Instant Reflexes]] * [[Defensive Blur]] * [[Telepathy]] * [[Planetary Message]] * [[Telepathic Bond]] [col] * [[Mind Trick]] * [[Forgetful Mind]] * [[Latent Trick]] * [[Suggest Belief]] * [[Enforce Will]] * [[Befriend Animal]] * [[Calm Animal]] * [[Attract Wildlife]] * [[Companion]] * [[Guide Companion]] * [[Greater Companion]] [col] * [[Force Vision]] * [[Detect Creatures]] * [[Unobstructed Image]] * [[Telekinesis]] * [[Slow and Steady]] * [[Shrapnel Cloud]] * [[Snatch Object]] [/cols] //The [[Innate Force Powers]] are not listed because they have special rules.// ==== Learning Force Powers ==== Jedi learn force powers via instruction, meditation, and practice. A Force Power can only be 5learned from someone that knows it, or from a holocron (or similar Force-related source of knowledge), see [[jedi training availability]] for an up-to-date listing. Normally the Jedi Order provides the necessary training materials. Furthermore, a Jedi must meet three requirements: * Powers can be of [[Initiate]], [[Padawan]], [[Knight]] or [[Master]] level. This is determine by 3 for the innate powers plus 2 for the jump powers. Neutral powers counts as either Lightndicates that the Jedi should be of the noted rank or Dark for ahigher before they can learn the force power. * All Force Powers build on the Jedi's understanding of the Force. This is represented by these powers having [[Virtue]] requirements. A virtue requirement is satisfied if the Jedi has the listed rating or higher for the indicated virtues. * Many Force Powers build on mastery and understanding of other powers. A Jedi must have mastered all listed prerequisite powers before they can continue their learning. If all these requirements are met, the Jedi can learn the force rating depending on their highest virtue (that is, if the highest Virtue is a Light virtue, neutral powers count as light; if the highest virtue is a Dark virtue, neutral powers count as dark)power by spending 10 [[training points]]. ==== Using Force Powers ==== At the start of each Mission, a Mission,Jedi gains **Light Force Points** and **Dark Force Points** equal to their light and dark force ratings (explained below). The player can spend these force point pools to use force powers. The two pools of force points do not replenish during a Jedi gainmission, so it is very possible for starting Jedi to "run out", and not be able to call upon the Force again for the rest of that mission. How you use a force power depends on the type of the power: * **Active** powers must be activated to gain their benefits (note that this activation might be a Player choice, their character might very will do this instinctively). Active powers normllay require an expenditure of 1 force point, otherwise their cost is listed with the type indicator in the description. Depending on whether the power is Light or Dark their activation cost must respectively be paid in Light Force Points or Dark Force Points. Neutral powers can be activated with either kind of Force Points (even mixed if necessary). * **Passive** powers are "always on", and Dark Force points equalhave no cost in Force Points to get their lightbenefits. A Jedi can supress a passive power if he so desires. Note that each passive power is a distinct effect. (Passive powers can be understood as a special case of Active powers that have a cost of zero, and darkthat are always activated.) * **Enhancement** powers add options to other powers or change them in some way. Sometimes they list an additional cost, which is to be paid in addition to the normal costs for the power that is enhanced. If another power is explicitly listed that power is the one that is enhanced, if no power is listed, the text of the power should clarify which powers are augmented. Furtermore, to get the benefits of a force ratings. These points can be used during the mission to activate force powers. Topower (regardless of type) the Jedi must meet the virtue requirements of the power. If, for any reason, the Jedi no longer meets the virtue requirements they still have the power but lose all use a forcof it. They cannot use the power the Jedi mustagain until they meet the virtue requirement of the power. If they do, their player simply spends the required force points and describe in their post what the jedi doesrequirements once more. ==== All Force PowerForce Ratings ==== ThisJedi that use the Force to change the world through their Force Powers are also affected by their use of those powers. We represent this with their **Light Force Rating** and **Dark Force Rating**. Each of these ratings represents the Jedi's training and understanding in using Light or Dark force powers. The Light and Dark Force ratings are computed by counting the number of Light and Dark force powers a Jedi knows (including those they cannot currently use). [[Jedi Padawan]] and above add 3 points to the correct rating because of their mastery of the [[innate force powers]]. Neutral powers counts as either Light or Dark for a Jedi's force rating depending on their highest [[virtue]]. That is, if the highest Virtue is a list of all designed Force Powers. Note that not all of thesLight virtue, neutral powers count as light; if the highest virtue is a Dark virtue, neutral powers count as dark. (If A Light and Dark virtue are availabletied for training.highest Jedi count neutral powers as Light.)

Note that this can very quickly happen if you have several game-technical aspects to thema Dark Virtue as highest virtue, since all your neutral powers will "swap sides" in that are used to describe the Force Power in game rules terms. A Force power is noted as follows: [quote] **⟨Name of Power⟩** (⟨Required Rank⟩, ⟨Required Virtues⟩, requires ⟨Prerequisite powers⟩) //⟨Alignment⟩ power — ⟨Type⟩// ⟨The description of the power is written here⟩ [/quote] ---- Basic Information ---- **Name of Power:** The name of the specific use of the force power. **Rank:** Powers can be of [[Initiate]], [[Padawan]], [[Knight]] or [[Master]] level. This indicates that the Jedi should be of the noted rank or higher before they can learn the force power. **Required Virtues:** All Force Powers build on the Jedi's understanding of the Force. This is represented by these powers having Virtue requirements. A virtue requirement is satisfied if the Jedi has the listed rating or higher for the indicated virtues. **Prerequisite Powers:** Many Force Powers build on mastery and understanding of other powers. A Jedi must have mastered all listed prerequisite powers before they can continue their learning. ---- Alignment ---- Force powers can have on of three alignments: **Light Powers:** These powers are associated witht the Light side. These powers can only be activated with Light Force Points. Light powers count towards your Light Force rating and give Light Force points. **Dark Powers:** These powers are associated witht the Dark side. These powers can only be activated with Dark Force Points. Dark powers count towards your Dark Force rating and give Dark Force points. **Neutral Powers:** These power are associated with neither side. These power can be activated with both Light and Dark Force Points. With respect to Force Rating and Force Points they are counted as Light or Dark depending on the highest Virtue of the Jedi (that is, if the highest Virtue is a Light virtue, neutral powers count as light; if the highest virtue is a Dark virtue, neutral powers count as dark). ---- Types ---- A Force Powers' effect is of one of the following types: **Active (cost):** Active powers must be activated to gain their benefits (note that this activation is a Player choice, their character might very will do this instinctively). They list their cost in Force Points. Depending on whether the power is Light, Dark, or Neutral, their activation cost must be paid in Light Points, Dark Points or both will work. **Passive:** Passive powers are "always on", and have no cost in Force Points to get their benefits. A Jedi can supress a passive power if he so desires. Note that each passive power is a distinct effect. (They can be understood as a special case of Active powers that have a cost of zero, and that is always activated) **Enhancement (target):** Enhancement powers add options to other powers or change them in some way. Sometimes they list an additional cost, which is to be paid in addition to the normal costs for the power that is enhanced. If a target is explicitly listed that power is the one that is enhanced, if no power is listed the text of the power clarifies which powers are augmentedcase.
