Force Powers
Force powers are special abilities available to anyone who takes the Force Training feat. They allow characters to do astonishing things such as play tricks with the minds of others, move heavy objects, see into the future, and even blast foes with terrible arcs of lightning.
Learning Force Powers
A character who takes the Force Training feat automatically learns a number of Force powers of her choice equal to 1 + her Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). A character can learn additional Force powers by taking the Force Training feat again or by increasing her Wisdom modifier.
Using Force Powers
When your character uses a Force power, make a Use the Force check. The check result determines the power's effect.
Some Force powers have all-or-nothing effects. Other Force powers have multi-tiered effects, and your Use the Force check result determines the maximum effect you can achieve, although you can always choose a lesser effect. If your Use the Force check is too low to activate the Force power's baseline effect, nothing happens and the action is wasted.
Using a Force power removes it from your character's active "suite" of Force powers, regardless of whether the Use the Force skill check succeeds or fails.
Your Force Power Suite
Your character's Force powers collectively form a suite. When your character uses a Force power, it's like playing a card and putting it in a discard pile. The power takes effect, and it's no longer available to the character ... at least for a while.
Regaining Force Powers
You have different ways to regain spent Force powers so that you can use them again:
- When combat is over and you have a chance to rest for 1 minute, you regain all of your Force powers.
- If you roll a natural 20 on a Use the Force check to activate a Force power, you regain all spent Force powers at the end of your turn.
- You can spend a Force Point as a reaction and immediately regain one spent Force power.
- Some unique abilities (such as the Force Focus talent) allow you to regain spent Force powers in other ways.
