Telekinesis
Lift
Lift and direct an object. While this can be used in combat applications, it tends to be a slower movement, focusing power to move heavier, inanimate objects. Attempting to lift enemies with this power allows them to defend with an advantage bonus die. Using this power to drop heavy objects on enemies allows them to dodge with an advantage bonus die, unless they're unaware of the danger. Base weight that can be moved is 300kg, with an additional 300kg for each additional Force Point spent.
Defense: Mental Discipline
Range: Line of Sight
Cost: 1
Push
Throw an object or living being weighing up to 150kg. If the object or living being is larger then you, must roll a Force Check to see if you have the focus to do so. If the living being strikes a static object, or the static object strikes a living being, roll d6 for damage done to the pushed being. If a Living Being strikes another Living Being, roll 2x D3 for damage done, one for each living being. Heavier objects can be moved at a greater cost of 1 Force Point per additional 100kg.
Defense: Mental Discipline or Force Push
Range: 30 meters
Cost: 1
Pull
Pull an object or living being weighing up to 150kg to you. Heavier objects can be moved at a greater cost of 1 Force Point per additional 100kg.
Defense: Mental Discipline or Force Push
Range: 30 meters
Cost: 1
Grip
At times known as Force Choke, this is another variation of a power used largely by the Light Side, but twisted with violent intent. Upon successful use, the target take's 1D4 Damage every turn the target is caught in Grip. To maintain the grip, the force user spends the cost each turn alongside rolling another check. Damage can be increased at an increased cost of 2 points for +1 damage per action. The maximum that can be expended is 10 Force Points for 1d4 + 4 damage. Additional enemies can be targeted for an increased cost of 2 points per additional enemy. Increased damage expenditures apply to each enemy individually, so to inflict 1d4 + 4 damage on two enemies would cost 20 Force Points. Enemies caught in a Force Grip are at a disadvantage on all skill checks, except their Mental Discipline defense roll.

Wave

The DM should assign bonuses and penalties based on factors such as how well known the target is to the tracker (tracker's advantage), how far away they are (distance is to the tracker's disadvantage), and whether the target is attempting to obscure their presence via the Force. Range is effectively unlimited, but stellar distances are much more difficult.

Empathy
Force Empathy allows a Force user to open their mind and sense the emotions of another being. This is often used by Jedi to supplement diplomatic training and harmony with others.

It may be used during conversation to determine another's emotional state with an opposed Power check. After a successful check, the information learned reveals whether the target is more susceptible to persuasion or coercion.

DM's discretion applies when determining whether Hard or Extreme successes are required, and whether or not there is additional Force Point cost.
Cost: 4
Defense
Barrier
At times a force user is placed within a situation where they are unable to avoid damage, such as poison or vacuum. At these times, the Force is their ally and shield. An advanced technique, this power allows the user to absorb the damage done to them. Regular Success will half damage, Hard Success will negate damage. The caster may extend the barrier out from themselves at the additional cost of 1 Force Point per meter to a maximum of a 5 meter barrier.
