The Force

The Force is what Jedi, Sith and other Force Sensitive characters use. They use it to access force abilities that give them additional strategic options, as well as boosting their usual skills slightly. Many people wish to be Force Sensitive, but very few are.

How Do I Become Force Sensitive?

This is both easy and hard. All races have a certain percentage chance of become Force Sensitive (or FS). These are typically very low, with the highest chance being 6%. When you create your character the server will automatically run an equation to determine if you are FS. If you manage to beat the odds and become FS, you will not be informed. You must be detected by another FS player, and this is explained more below.

If you are not FS at creation, there is a chance for you to become so as you level up. Every 5 levels after the first (ie levels 1, 6, 11, 16, etc) the server will re-roll your FS chance to determine if you have become FS. If you are already FS it does not do this. The equation it uses to determine your chance is:

Probability to become Force-Sensitive at Level X = RFP + ((X - 1) / 5) * (RFP / 2)

• RFP = Race Force Probability, this is what is listed on your races stat page
• X = your current level

Force Test

Though you may be FS, you will not be given any indication of this. You will receive the hidden skill bonuses, but these will not be shown (hence 'hidden'). To discover if you are FS or not, you must be tested by another player who is already FS and has skill points in the 'Force Detection' skill. They will then test you, which will take 1 hour. After this they will receive an event informing them as to whether you are FS or not. If you are they then have the option to reveal this to you, unlocking your ability to use the force, or they can choose not to reveal this to you.

What Happens When I Am Force Sensitive?

As explained earlier you will recieve bonuses to certain skills. The value of the bonus will be dependant on the value of the facet responsible, as in the below table:

Associated Facet	Enhanced Skill Category
Telepathy	Social
Telekinesis	Ground
Life	General
Energy	Space

In addition there are several other benefits you get, so long as you have been revealed as FS, as above in 'Force Test'. The primary change you will notice is that there is a new section to your sidebar. This section (image shown at top) shows you your Force Bar, as well as your current and maximum Force Points. Clicking on your Force Point value will open up the Force pages.

Initial Skill Allocation

When you first access the Force page, you will be asked to allocate your initial batch of skill points. How many you receive will be determined by how high your facet value is. Skill costs are the same as for normal Skills, and so the higher the level you want, the more skill points you will have to use. Additionally, at this point you cannot assign skill points to the Universal facet, only to the Telepathy, Life, Energy and Telekinesis facets.

Force Training

Once you have done your initial skill allocation, the main Force Page will be viewable. One of the main options here is to train yourself in the Force. This is how you increase your Force Points as well as getting Force XP (FXP) which allows you to to get to higher levels of the force. While training you will not be able to move or perform any other actions that take place within the [Position] page. You can however still pilot a ship or vehicle, or use the special actions of a facility. To train, you need to do the following:

•  ::Information::
• Click your Force Point number.
• Click on the [Train in the Force] button inside the green box.
• You are now training.

You will receive 15XP and 100FXP for a successful training session, and you will have a Personal Event informing you of either a success or failure. If you are training on your own you have a 20% chance to succeed. If training with a Master your chance of success is between 20-90%, depending on your relative FXP.

Force Overview

When you open the Force page, you will see this overview section. This gives you important information about your current status in the Force.

• Master - tells you who your current Master is (one only).
• Student - tells you who your current Student is (one only).
• Force Level - gives you your current level in the force.
• Force Experience - this is how much FXP you have obtained. This is used to determine your Force Level. It also tells you how much more FXP you need to reach the next level.
• Skill Points - this is the current number of spare skill points you have to 'buy' Force skills.
• Force Points - you current and maximum Force Points.
• Regeneration Rate - how many FPs you recover each hour.
• Holocron Force Experience - ?

Force Skills

This section, at the bottom of the Force page allows you to see you current level of Force Skills, as well as allow you to increase the level of a skill by using up skill points. Skills follow the same style and progression as normal Skills.
