Lightsaber Combat Jedi use this power to wield this elegant but difficult-to-control weapon while also sensing their opponents' actions through th Force. Projective Telepathy If the Jedi successfully projects thier thoughts, the target "hears" their thoughts and "feels" their emotions. The Jedi can only broadcast feelings, emotions, and perhaps a couple words - this power cannot be used to send sentences or to hold conversations.
This power may be kept "up."
This power is called upon at the start of a battle and remains "up" until the Jedi is stunned, wounded or worse; a Jedi who has been injured or stunned may attempt to bring the power back "up."
If the Jedi is successful in using this power, he/she adds his/her sense dice to their lightsaber skill roll when attacking and parrying. The Jedi may add or subtract part or all of their control dice to the lightsaber's damage; players must decide how many control dice they are adding or subtracting when the power is activated.
A Jedi who fails when trying to activate lightsaber combat may only use the lightsaber skill for the duration of the combat.
Finally, the Jedi may use lightsaber combat to parry blaster bolts as a "reaction skill."
The Jedi may also attempt to control where deflected blaster bolts go; this is a "reaction skill" and counts as an additional action. (The Jedi cannot fully parry when trying to control deflected bolts.)
If the Jedi tries to control the blaster bolt, he/she makes a control roll: the difficulty is the range of the target (use the origin weapon's ranges) or the target's dodge roll. The blaster bolt's damage stays the same.
Required Powers: Life Detection, Life Sense, Receptive Telepathy
The target understands that the thoughts and feelings he/she is experiencing are not his/her own and that they belong to the user of the power. If the Jedi doesn't "verbally" identify himself/herself, the target doesn't know who is projecting the thoughts. This power can only be used to communicate with other minds, not control them.
