Force Lightning

Required Powers: Absorb/Dissipate Energy, Injure/Kill and Inflict Pain

Skills Used: Control + Alter

Control Difficulty: Difficult. Modified by proximity, but limited to line of sight.

Alter Difficulty: Perception or control roll of target.

Warning: A Jedi who uses this power for any reason immediately gets a dark side Point.

Effect: This power is a corruption of the Force. When used it produces bolts of white or blue energy that fly from the user's fingertips like sorcerers lightning. The bolts tear through their target, causing painful wounds. Since this power is Force-generated it can be Force-repelled using absorb/dissipate energy.

Force lightning courses over and into its target, convulsing the target with serious pain, and eventually killing them. Armor does not protect a character from Force lightning. Force lightning causes 1D of damage for each 2D of alter the user has (rounded down: a character with an alter of 5D would cause 2D damage). Warrants automatic Dark Side point.
