Force ablities (OOC Thread)

[Dar Moraal]

About force abilities which ones are allowed? Like are body transfering allowed or battle meditation for example? and what would you say is the best way to increase and learn new abilities? Simple training with a master, self teaching or holocrons? I am a bit confused on this. Thanks for any help and feedback.
(I ask this because my Char is a info hoarder and would love to dig his greedy fingers into all the power available)

Use discretion.

We have a lot of weird abilities running around the board, often used by people who don't properly understand them, or are using them as a toolbox without any character background for why they know them. A few are looked at very skeptically, and a few more are expected to only be known by extremely experienced Masters. Anything involving time or spatial distortion is glared at, things like Force Storm (the real one, where you rip open a black hole with your mind) are heavily regulated...by other members, since staff only cares about it if you get reported.

Battle meditation - proper, system-AoE battle meditation - is ludicrously rare. I can only think of one PC to do it. The White Current is used by a very limited minority, etc. Most of the niche powers can be justified with training, and no one will complain if you're careful and modest about what you can do. Fabula regenerates like freakin' Wolverine half the time, but I've never been called on it.

Don't try to be a god and no one will care what you do. Be considerate and respectful of others and you can get away with a lot.

I do battle meditation the real way .

Or did, anyway. Killed my Sith Lord and don't use it with my other characters.

I know a [member="Cira"] alt does it.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

The Force is infinite, your ability to use it is not.

That being said, we don't have a list of 'approved' or 'disallowed' powers. Use discretion, and know that if you pull something silly you'll likely get reported. As for training, just pick your poison.

 

[Fabula Caromed]

It's safe to say that whatever you're doing, there's a Cira alt who did it first.

Nah, most definitely an Ashin alt!

[member="Kaileann Vera"] - Hey, I resemble that remark!

 

[Mak Manto]

It all depends on how you use them...

You could GM a simple basic Force ability to win a battle if you really wanted. Now, certain powers like Force Storm, as [member="Bianca"] mentioned, or Thought Bomb are a bit out there, but for the most part, it's just using them in a way that you know that it won't have people PMing staff on why you're using it.

Great thanks for the feed back everyone last question what if you wish to learn a ability your master does not know simply get a new master? Again this is my last question on the subject and thanks for the help

 

[Dar Moraal]

(Ok last last question XD) How would you advance your mastery of a certain abilities without a master? Number of threads in which you've use the power?

 

[Mak Manto]

For both of your questions: Either find someone who is a master of such a power or if there is no one, do a number of threads of you learning the power and becoming adept at it.

It depends primarily on what power you want to learn.

Is there a specific power that you had in mind?

Find a new master, go on a quest for a holocron or some old Sith library (for dark side powers), or develop the power yourself.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Great thanks, and I just want to learn the ability to save my char via a clone like the now non canon emperor clone, and sith sorcery

 

[Ellie Mors]

learn the ability to save my char via a clone

Funny you mention that.

Read here.

 

[Dar Moraal]

Huh funny... I could certainly use that...

Late to the party. Still, here's my Guide to Apprentices for this site. Hope it helps.

Words of caution:

• If you suspect an idea is overpowered, it probably is.
• Put yourself in your opponent's shoes. If you'd be pissed off if they did it, it's probably best to not do it.
• If the idea makes you giggle for more than ten seconds, assume that it is a bad one.

Aah... I love to insanely giggle for more then 10 seconds....
