Force Skills

There are a total of 32 force skills available. In order to use any of them a player must be Force Sensitive. Most of these are currently unavailable and have not been finalised. Descriptions of how the skill is intended to operate is provided but these are subject to change pending combat release and further developments. Powers may be added or removed at any time. Using many of these powers requires Force Points and some are affected by the users armour. Also, many of them have a recharge time which means no force power can be activated during that recharge period.
