Force User Jargon


These are the levels at which the techniques can operate: 


For a force energy technique to overcome a Deflection or Tutaminis, it must be at a level higher. Equal levels of the offending and defending technique will result in a power struggle, as seen with Sidious vs Yoda. If the offending energy technique is levels lower than the defending techniques, it will be unable to overwhelm the defence, as seen with Yoda vs Dooku. 





By conjunction, what is meant is that you cannot swing and use the Force openly at the same time (augmentation powers such as Speed and Valour are still allowed). You can however hold your lightsaber passively and use the Force. 












Standard Force Abilities

Standards are the ability pool you can learn from, as in what abilities your key card in the library will give you access to.

So, someone at Jedi Knight level could receive the tasks for abilities from the standard Knight list without a teacher. They will not give any multiplier due to the mechanics of self teaching, but still, they can be done in one own's time. 

Standards are not stated on profiles in their entirety, and if an ability is stated outside the standard list despite being on it, you follow the level it has specifically been stated at. 

Universal Standards

Universal Standards are standards every Force User has, unless said otherwise. They are your bread and butter Force Powers, and thus are not noted on the profile at all. They scale to the Tier your Force User is in. 


What Tier equals what level in the Universal Standards?


The Universal Abilities


Falling to the Dark Side

When one falls to the Dark Side or gets close to doing so (95 balance or greater), they get access to the following basic Dark Side abilities at levels according to their tier, as seen above:


Passive Force Barriers

Passive Force Barriers, otherwise known as the ability Force Resistance, is a Force User's ability to resist Force abilities naturally. One's level in the ability scales to their tier in a similar manner to the other Universal Abilities (as seen below), though the ability itself can be trained. 

Passive Force Barriers work through the means that Force Abilities used against your character are less effective if they are from someone of a lower tier. For example, a Tier 3 using a Force Ability against a Tier 2 would not be as effective if they used it against a Tier 3 or lower, and even less effective against a Tier 1; and so-on-so-forth. 

Now, it should be noted that being in a lower tier does not mean your ability is completely no-sold (as in, if you are a Tier 3 hitting a Tier 2, it's not like your ability is suddenly completely useless). It just means its slightly less effective, and the scale in which it is less effective is mostly chosen contextually by the DM of the combat encounter. 

Within the same tier, as in the difference of sub-tiers (with the exception of High 1 vs Middle 1 and Low 1 due to the universal level changing on that mark from Mastery to Extreme Mastery), there is no effect of Force Resistance. 

Furthermore, if your ability level specifically is higher than the level of Force Resistance despite a difference in tier, than that ability also can bypass the Passive Force Barrier.
