Electric Judgement Spell in Star Wars: Shards | World Anvil

Electric Judgement

The inspiration of this comes from: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Electric_Judgment which references that Plo Kloon used it. Also from : https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi_vs._Sith:_The_Essential_Guide_to_the_Force_(real-life_book).

Effect

This uncommon skill is regarded with suspicion among some Force orders as it is closely related to the Dark Side skill Sith Lightning. Unlike the Dark Side skill, Electric Judgement is a skill of balance requiring the practitioner to be calm with their surroundings, even in the thick of combat.   The practitioner must roll their control to generate a discharge of yellow or green ion bolts ( that look like lightning ) towards a target. This bolt of energy causes 1D of stun damage per 1D of Alter the Force user has. However, this bolt can only cause temporary stun damage to living creatures or droids. It cannot cause destructive damage ( i.e. make a grenade explode ) to physical objects.   Anyone or anything targeted by this power is allowed to dodge, but only the normal dodge skill may be used if a dodge is attempted. Force users may block this by using Guardian’s Shield, Absorb/Dissipate Energy or may blocking using a Force-empowered weapon, such as a lightsaber.

Side/Secondary Effects

Using this skill against a living target that is already stunned, the practitioner runs the risk of drawing the attention of the Dark Side.   If the practitioner knowingly uses this skill against an already stunned target, roll a 1d6. If the roll is a 1, or if the roll is less than the total number of Dark Side points they already have, then the lightning turns blue-white ( for Sith Lightning and to indicate the presence of the Dark Side ) and the character gains a Dark Side point.

Manifestation

When used, bolts of yellow or emerald energy leap from the Force user's hand or hands toward the particular target at the moment.  

Roll the Control skill versus a Difficult. This is modified by proximity and limited to line of sight.

 

Roll the Alter skill versus the Perception or control roll of a target creature.

Discovery
