Feed On Dark Side

Control Difficulty: Moderate when activated; Very Easy for each round thereafter

Alter Difficulty: Moderate when raised; no roll for subsequent rounds.

Required Power: Sense Force

Warning: Any Jedi who activates this power automatically receives a Dark Side Point.

This power may be kept "up".

Effect: This power allows a Jedi to feed on the fear, hatred or other negative emotions of others to make himself more powerful. It does not matter to the Dark Side why the others are filled with dark emotions; the feelings alone suffice.

In game terms, in any round in which a character using this power is in the presence of a Light Side Force-sensitive who gains a Dark Side Point, the character gains a Dark Side Point and a Force Point. If multiple characters gain Dark Side Points in the same round, the characters gains multiple Force Points. These Fore Points must be spent within five minutes of being received.

This is a power that Dark Jedi use to gain power from the anger and hatred they cause in their foes. For player characters who are quick to anger, it is impossible to die-roll their way out of this situation. The only way they can stop a Jedi from gaining extra Force Points from this power is not to give in to the Dark Side. This can be extremely difficult, particularly as there is nothing to stop the Dark Jedi form doing everything in his power to provoke these negative emotions. This might include deception, butchering innocents, taunts, insults, threats against the characters, their friends, families, home planet or base, and anything else that is likely to make them call on the Dark Side.

Players who are unable to think of a better way of defeating a Dark Jedi than by brute force are very likely to be destroyed if faced with this power. Avoid overuse of this power, as it can severely disrupt game balances if not used in moderation.
