All Paragon powers cost 10 points and are level-locked to the specified levels.
Skill Point Degrees of Proficiency
0 – Ability not known. The player cannot use this Skill, and does not need to list this Skill in the Skills section of their Character Sheet.
1 – Novice. The player is able to use the Skill at a low degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Jedi Padawan just beginning their training.
2 – Intermediate. The player is able to use the Skill with some degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Jedi Knight with moderate training.
3 – Advanced. The player is able to use the Skill with advanced proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of a Jedi Master.
4 – Master. The player is able to use the Skill with masterful proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of the most powerful Jedi Council members and Grand Masters, such as Luke Skywalker.
5 – Grand Master. The player is able to use the Skill with ultimate proficiency, approximately representing a gestalt of the most powerful and extreme examples of the feat in Legends Expanded Universe lore.
All free points, whether purely from leveling up or granted by a class choice, terminate at rank 3. Any increase beyond that point requires investment from the point total for a character’s level.
Level 1: At Level 1, as soon as an Initiate completes the Guides and begins making their character sheet, they may choose from Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Force Sense to add to their character sheet for free, as these are three of the most basic abilities of a Force user. They may increase the rank of this power for free as they level up, once they hit the milestone levels for rank increases, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Level 4: Upon becoming a Jedi Knight, a Jedi may choose between Thought Resistance, Force Resistance, or Force Stun to add to their character sheet for free, up to rank 3 at level 5, as these powers are more aggressive and further help to distinguish the characterization and focus of a Force user from their peers.
Level 6: When promoted to Jedi Master, all Guardians gain Force Body, all Sentinels gain Force Cloak, and all Consulars gain Force Heal to add to their character sheets for free, up to rank 3. This allows for Jedi Masters to devote points to other abilities that will help distinguish them from others without detracting from abilities core to the essence of their class.
Level 7: Jedi Lords are naturally assumed to possess the knowledge of storing knowledge, that is, to create a Jedi Holocron for themselves with which to deposit their esoteric knowledge or life experiences to help teach future generations, or else to hoard for themselves. This process is a RITUAL, regardless of the class of the Jedi Lord. They receive 3 points in this power, and may invest further points into it if they so desire, as there is a clear distinction in the quality of holocrons from various Jedi Lords of the past.
CLASSES
All base classes are available at Level 1; Prestige classes become available at Level 3.
Jedi Guardian
Jedi Guardians are the martial foundation of the Jedi Order; disciplined and athletic, they place their focus on the physical aspects of Jedi life, training in the art of lightsaber combat and martial arts, and honing their Force abilities for use in battle or protection. Guardians are staunch defenders of the Light and will fight with every fiber for the triumph of justice. Many, but not all, Guardians were traditionally outfitted with blue lightsabers. Jedi Guardians are masters of physicality and receive free points in Force Valor up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at Level 5.
Famous Guardians include Knight Anakin Skywalker, Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Master Mace Windu.
Jedi Consular
Jedi Consulars are healers, historians, diplomats, and seers. Consulars place their focus on the more cerebral aspects of the Force, preferring to leave their lightsabers unignited and placing faith and trust in the power of the Light to guide and sharpen their abilities through meditation and study. Compassionate and studious, Consulars excel in using nonviolent means to uphold the tenets of Jedi philosophy. Most Consulars were traditionally outfitted with emerald lightsabers, but this was not always the case. As their connection to the Force and all that surrounds them tends to be far greater than the average Jedi, Consulars receive free points in Force Bond up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Famous Consulars include Grandmaster Yoda, Grandmaster Nomi Sunrider, Grandmaster Odan-Urr, and Kreia.
Jedi Sentinel
Jedi Sentinels strike a balance between Guardians and Consulars; they are practical in their approach to the Force and its myriad applications, blending combat and non-combat abilities. Sentinels often lean towards a civilian-style life, putting their skills to use in protecting citizens. They are adept in a wide variety of non-Force skills, using their Jedi schooling to augment their chosen field of expertise. Sentinels generally carried whatever lightsaber color that was bestowed on them, though a substantial portion in the Old Republic carried yellow lightsabers. The most elusive of Jedi, they receive free points in Force Stealth up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Famous Sentinels include Bastila Shan, Kyle Katarn, Tera Sinube, and Morrit Ch’gally.
Subclasses
Require Level 3
Guardian Subclasses
Jedi Warrior
Jedi Warriors are almost antithetical to the order itself, used as soldiers and brutal combatants on the bloody field of honor. They are extremely physically fit and skilled in martial arts and other techniques of warfare. Due to their extreme combative focus, warriors gain access to two Approaching the Dark skills (not whole trees).
An example of a Jedi Warrior is Master Mace Windu.
Jedi Peacekeepers
Peacekeepers are the protectors of justice and harmony in the galaxy. Peacekeepers are law enforcers, sentries, ambassadors, and negotiators with well-balanced skills in both combat and non-combat areas. Jedi Peacekeepers get two free points in Force Stun, regardless of rank, and two free points in Alter Damage.
An example of a Jedi Peacekeeper is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Jedi Starfighter
Members of the Jedi Starfighter Corps use the Force in perfect harmony with their piloting. Their unrivaled reaction time and precision in starfighter combat make them the finest force multipliers in aerial combat, and when melded with other starfighters, they can apply significant force to an entire fleet. Jedi Starfighters gain two free points in Force Meld and Force Direction, regardless of rank, and also are given a starfighter to use and customise.
An example of a Jedi Starfighter is Master Saesee Tiin.
Exotic Weapon Specialist
Exotic Weapons Specialists are Jedi Guardians who have chosen to either forgo lightsabers or use it alongside other weaponry, such as a quarterstaff, electrostaff, flail, force pike, and so on. In the past, this term also applied to those who mastered unusual lightsaber variants, but this is no longer the case. Exotic Weapon Specialists gain access to Force Weapon, enhancing their weapons through the Force to resist lightsabers, deflect blaster bolts, and shatter stone; given that some specialize in use of blasters and slugthrowers, access to Force Direction is also gained.
An example of an Exotic Weapons Specialist is Master Siolo Ur Manka.
Consular Subclasses
Jedi Healer
Jedi Healers are valuable members of the Jedi order and invaluable during war, keeping the wounded alive and rejuvenating them. Jedi Healers can heal and energize allies fast enough to put allies back into combat soon after they are disabled, ensuring a heavy reduction in loss of life. Jedi Healers get one free point in both Force Heal and Revitalization.
An example of a Jedi Healer is Barriss Offee.
Jedi Seer
Jedi Seers cross space and time with aetherial vision, viewing places worlds away, in the past, and far in the future. All Jedi Seers are capable of using Psychometry, and thus gain access to it, and have one free point each in Precognition and Farsight.
An example of a Jedi Seer is Grandmaster Yoda.
Jedi Sage
Jedi Sages are the polymaths of the order, typically serving as wise teachers and erudite lore keepers, and many even become Jedi Diplomats, working with governing bodies, monarchs, senators, committees, and so on to establish peace through the pen. Such cerebrally focused Jedi have exceptional talents with mind-affecting abilities, having honed such through constant use, and thus have access to a wider array of mind-affecting Force powers, including one dark mental power of their choice.
An example of a Jedi Sage is Grandmaster Odan-Urr.
Jedi Druid
Jedi Druids are rare among the Order, but those who do decide to immerse themselves in nature embody, in many ways, the principles of peace, serenity, and union with the Force present in the Jedi Order. Druids tend to present themselves humbly, and their work is usually associated with tending to younglings who are misled before arrival. Through their understanding and interactions with nature, they bring a sense of calm to those in spiritual turmoil. Druids are particularly adept, more so than others, at controlling the elements, and receive maximum proficiency for their level in either cryokinesis, pyrokinesis, or plant surge. Druids are also known for their healthy relationships with animals, and often create a Life Bond with one who acts as their friend and guide in nature. In addition to their elemental proficiency, a Jedi Druid receives two points in Force Bond for free, so long as that bond is used to create a life bond with an animal.
Upon attaining Master rank, a Druid’s communion with their Familiar and chosen element is so powerful that the Familiar can channel the elemental abilities that the Druid wills (albeit at half strength). Additionally, the Druid gains three points for free in one of the two elemental skills not previously chosen.
An example of a Jedi Druid is Master Fay.
Sentinel Subclasses
Jedi Slicer
Jedi Slicers have an odd affinity for machines, whether it be computers, droids, security systems, or something else entirely, they dedicate themselves to the mastery of technology in an increasingly technological age. Jedi Slicers gain two free points in Electronic Manipulation and their choice of either Technopathy or Technometry.
An example of a Jedi Slicer is the Jedi known as Rey.
Jedi Investigator
The Jedi Investigator spends more time “on call” than most, and historical spent more time on Coruscant but out of the temple than any other Jedi. The Investigator acted on behalf of the local and regional police forces, assisting in the capture of dangerous criminals and the finer riddance of crime than the more martial Jedi Guardian. As such, a Jedi Investigator was required to be quiet and observant in all aspects of their jobs. Jedi Investigators receive two free points in Force in both Force Stealth and Force Track in order to both hide themselves and find those who are hidden.
While not himself a Jedi Investigator, one might consider Master Tera Sinube to display best the attitude an Investigator should.
Jedi Shadows
Jedi Shadows are the dedicated enemies of the Dark Side, hunting down darksiders and their artifacts. Skilled in deception and subterfuge, Jedi Shadows often, but not always, view the universe in shades of gray, allowing them to make the most unpleasant moral compromises necessary, as well as allowing them to take one skill from Approaching the Dark at its highest available points for free (i.e. 3 points at Level 5, 4 points at Level 7, etc.). They also gain the power of False Dark Side Aura at the highest available level for their rank, allowing their subterfuge to go unnoticed and unsuspected.
While a Jedi Guardian, Master Quinlan Vos could be considered the model of a Jedi Shadow.
Jedi Rogue
Jedi Rogues are a type of Sentinel, most often, whose occupation as a Jedi generally goes unnoticed. Of all of the Jedi, they blend in with their surroundings most easily. Rogues are experts in falsifying their identities, both physically and legally, and in addition to being more easily able to forge documents and come up with stories about themselves on the fly, and to assist with this, they receive Alter Image/Masquerade at the highest available level for their rank for free. Jedi Rogues also generally train in the use of a weapon outside of the lightsaber to maintain secrecy, and so gain proficiency in the use of one such weapon (a blaster, electrostaff, vibrosword, bowcaster, etc.) when they take this subclass. Lastly, Rogues are often well-acquainted with the criminal Underworld, and many will obtain a dossier on numerous criminal individuals on their adventures.
An example of a Jedi Rogue is Kanan Jarrus.
Prestige Classes
Jedi Aces
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Starfighter
Jedi Aces are the highest ranking pilots of the Jedi naval effort and are often the leaders and teachers of the Jedi Starfighter Corp. Jedi Aces weave through hornet nests of turbolaser fire and missile barrages to deliver their explosive payload with bombs guided perfectly through the Force. Jedi Aces have become so attuned to usage of Force Meld and Force Direction that it is as innate to them as breathing, gaining both at their highest level for their rank, for free, and gaining access to the Talortai ability of Pathfinding.
An example of a Jedi Ace is Grandmaster Luke Skywalker.
Jedi Battlemasters
Requires level 7+, Jedi Warrior or Peacekeeper, six classical lightsaber forms
Utter nightmares to face in single combat, Jedi Battlemasters are the greatest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order, and teach other Jedi in the martial art of which they have no equal. So perfectly attuned to the Force and how it harmonises with saber techniques, Jedi Battlemasters enjoy maximum proficiency in one classical lightsaber form of their choice, and one free point in every other classical form.
An example of a Jedi Battlemaster is Master Kao Cen Darach.
Jedi Weapon Master
Requires Level 5+, Exotic Weapons Specialist
When an Exotic Weapon Specialist of the Jedi Order gains master rank and attains true mastery of their chosen weapon and impressive skill with several others, they gain the honorific title of Jedi Weapon Master. Depending on whether they specialized in a melee or ranged weapon, Weapon Masters enjoy four free points, regardless of rank, in either Force Weapon (melee) or Force Direction (ranged).
An example of a Jedi Weapon Master is Master Vodo-Siosk Baas.
Jedi Tech Expert
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Slicer
Tech Experts went beyond the simple manipulations that Slicers focused on, instead preferring complete mastery of technology. Among these abilities are the skills of Hassat-Durr and Mechu-Deru, which they gain free three points in.
An example of a Jedi Tech Expert is Master Kazdan Paratus.
Sith Hunter
Requires Level 6+, fitting personality and/or story [seek Council approval]
Based upon the Jedi Shadows, the Sixth Line, and the Jedi Covenant, these Jedi are the most unorthodox when it comes to the manner of hunting Sith. Often bearing purple lightsabers and occasionally bearing red lightsabers as their enemies do, they are well-equipped to slip into the enemy’s ranks to assassinate their top dogs or tap into the other side of the Force to grant an edge in a bloody, desperate battle. A Sith Hunter is able, more so than any other class, to dip into the powers of Darkness without succumbing to the temptation to turn completely, for their adherence to the ideology of the Jedi Order is too strong to allow such surrender. Sith Hunters may access two skill trees from the Approaching the Dark category, in addition to any offered by their base class or subclass.
Two examples of a Sith Hunter are Cade Skywalker and Lucien Draay.
Jedi Coordinator
Requires Level 6+, Jedi Sage
Jedi Coordinators are Jedi Sages who chose to maintain a focus on the most cerebral Force skills, and are the most powerful support unit on the battlefield, orchestrating strategies and providing mental artillery. Jedi Coordinators gain three free points in Battle Meditation and Force Meld.
An example of a Jedi Coordinator is Master Oppo Rancisis.
Jedi Prophet
Requires level 7+, Jedi Seer
Responsible for the Prophecy of the Chosen One, Jedi Prophets are Jedi Seers with extraordinary foreknowledge, and instantly gain the maximum proficiency in Precognition possible and gain at the highest level for their rank one other power from the Force Sense tree of their choice.
An example of a Jedi Prophet is Kreia.
Jedi Specialist
Requires level 5+, Jedi Sentinel [except Jedi Shadow]
These Jedi Sentinels specialize in whatever area they see fit, and often do so in more than one area, arranging for themselves a wide array of skills for any situation. Jedi Sentinels who choose the path of the specialist may acquire access to three skills from whatever subclasses they choose (only one skill may be learned each subclass).
An example of a Jedi Specialist is Kyle Katarn.
Jedi Temple Guard
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Sentinel or Jedi Peacekeeper
Upon attaining sufficient skill as a Jedi Knight, a Sentinel or Peacekeeper may choose to become security for the Jedi temple. Unlike previous iterations, this position is permanent. Sentinels become the gold-white masked legion of guardians ever patrolling the halls and yards of the various Jedi temples and are given special lightsaber-resistant armor and phrik saberstaffs.
Physically imposing Jedi Peacekeepers become Jedi Brutes and guard the entrances, warding off aggression through intimidation, and are given Force-imbued phrik armor and lightsaber-resistant saberstaffs.
Less physically imposing Jedi Peacekeepers become Jedi Snipers, patrolling the heights of temples and striking farther and more accurately than any other, and are endowed with their choice of Force Focus or Saber Throw at maximum proficiency for their rank, depending on whether they are exceptional with their sabers, or elect to use actual rifles.
An example of a Temple Guard is, despite his fall, the one who became known as the Grand Inquisitor. Because of their largely anonymous nature, others who bore the title of Temple Guard seldom have names or faces attached to them.
THE POWERS OF A JEDI
The powers of a Jedi are divided into three basic categories, just as the classes are; these categories are Control, Sense, and Alter.
There are certain abilities which do not fall under any of these categories; these are Lightsaber Forms and the Force powers which augment their practice, Paragon abilities, and powers whose practitioners are Approaching the Dark. You must have Council approval to be Approaching the Dark.
For powers marked as INNATE, the character must have some hereditary, genetic, or cultural predisposition towards using these powers. For example, if your ancestors were well known for being powerful practitioners of Psychometry, you too would have access to this INNATE power by hereditary means. Please seek Council approval before selecting innate powers.
Powers marked as UNIQUE are extraordinarily rare powers for Jedi to possess, and require Council approval.
Lightsaber Forms and Augmenting Techniques
Classical Forms
—Form I - Shii-Cho
Simple and relentless. Bold and kinetic. Somewhat slow at lower levels, but more skilled users become a waterfall of fluid slashes. Masters of this martial art release themselves into the Force, channeling it deeply and possibly endangering their spirit, but becoming an unpredictable hurricane of lightsaber strikes.
At least basic skill in this martial art is necessary to learn to use a lightsaber efficiently without injury.
—Form II - Makashi (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Quick and precise. Elegant and efficient, emphasizing leverage through footwork and positioning. Lacking in strength.
Martial artists of lower levels have an excellent and very active defense against lightsabers, but lack the precision to mount an effective offense. More skilled users are dreadful to face in lightsaber duels, utilizing expert precision and speed to slip beneath an opponent's defense and swat aside an opponent's offense.
This form relies the least on one's connection to the Force, and relies more on the user's intellect and skill than physical ability, though taller user's will have advantage in reach.
This form is weak to blasterfire, Form V Djem So, but not Shien, and Form VII Juyo, but not Vaapad. This form is strong against Form I, Form IV, Form VI, and the lower levels of Form III.
— Form III - Soresu (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Subtle and tight. Conservative and economic, prioritizing defense over offense in the ultimate philosophical showcase of Jedi non-aggression.
Novice users are quite exceptional when defending from blaster bolts and other projectiles, but in heavy fire scenarios and against skilled opponents, they only delay the inevitable. A master of this form can be considered nearly invincible, able to walk through hornet nests of blaster fire unscathed and defeat powerful duelists through patience and masterful timing.
This form has no dedicated attack sequence, and the user must rely on the deflecting parries and ripostes, or another form, to defeat an enemy.
The lower levels of this form are weak to Form II and Form VII, but beyond that, it has no weakness to another form. This form is strong against blasterfire.
— Form IV - Ataru (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Acrobatic and flowing. Elaborate and aggressive, reliant on the physical agility of the user in conjunction with their strength in the Force. Lacks dedicated defense, relying on agility to dodge attacks.
Beginners may disorient their opponents with spins and flips, but may have trouble closing off all openings in their motion for the enemy to attack. The most proficient users become an offensive omnidirectional dervish of blades, striking more swiftly than any other, evading too quickly for an opponent to catch and overwhelming them.
The user becomes a conduit for the Force, but one can only be a conduit for so long before burning out. Thus, this form is best used on single opponents and to end a fight quickly, or to be supplemented with another style.
This form is weak to Form II and Form III. This form is strong to Form V.
— Form V - Shien/Djem So (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
A dual discipline of two separate forms too similar to teach separately: Shien and Djem So.Most Form V users express a preference for one of these forms like one expresses a preference for a left or right hand when writing. Both forms were created by Soresu masters who felt Form III was insufficient in keeping the peace.
Shien: The Lesser Krayt
Technical and aggressive. Energetic and mildly acrobatic. Utilizes a full 360 degrees of motion. Contains some Ataru inspiration.
The Shien lightsaber form was the original variant of Form V, utilizing a counterstrike-focused fighting style that was technical, quick, and energetic, but still very aggressive. Nowadays, it’s taught more for its deflection capabilities than dueling practicality, as it possesses no other clear advantages over other forms.
Unlike the later Djem So, this form has no mobility weakness, and thus is not weak to Form IV.
This form is strong to blasterfire.
Djem So: The Greater Krayt
Stout and imposing. Strong and domineering, relying on physical strength and powerful counterstrikes following an even stronger defense to defeat an enemy. Advances upon a straight line.
The style is characterized by deflecting oncoming attacks before responding in kind with a harsher counter strike. Beginners may find their counterattacks to be slow, but will find their defense and general attacks more than adequate for most situations. An advanced user will be fast and fluid in their death dance, deflecting and striking back with incredible strength and fluidity to dominate their opponent. Masterful users become something incredible to view, taking on a Makashi-esque level of precision and finesse while maintaining a monstrous level of dominating, offensive power, betraying its Makashi influence.
One of the most physically demanding of the styles, dependent on the physical strength of the user, but by no means a slow style.
Due to its lack of mobility, this form is weak to Form IV. Due to its emphasis on quick, powerful strikes, this form is strong to Form II.
— Form VI - Niman (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Balanced and moderate. Intermixed and relaxed, most often combined with the practiced use of telekinesis to supplement the bladework.
Niman is truly the most balanced of the styles, not being sincerely advantageous anywhere, but lacking drawbacks that other styles hold. It could be incredibly dangerous in the hands of a patient, cunning, and calculating practitioner, a trait which gained it the moniker of “the Trickster’s Form” among Jedi Battlemasters. A trainee could keep up with students of other forms fairly well, but would risk being overcome by the clear advantages of another style. A master would take advantage of the lack of Niman’s own drawbacks, pressing their opponent to prevent the advantages the other possesses without letting themselves be taken advantage of, and will often harmonize with the opponent, responding to attacks with the equal and opposite.
One of the least physically demanding styles, but also the one which allows for the most individual creativity from its user, making it a very cerebral style best used when combined with other techniques, whether implementation of telekinetics or other practices like Jar'kai, which can become its own style in combination with this form.
This form is weak to Form II.

Skill Point Degrees of Proficiency
0 – Ability not known. The player cannot use this Skill, and does not need to list this Skill in the Skills section of their Character Sheet.
1 – Novice. The player is able to use the Skill at a low degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Jedi Padawan just beginning their training.
2 – Intermediate. The player is able to use the Skill with some degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Jedi Knight with moderate training.
3 – Advanced. The player is able to use the Skill with advanced proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of a Jedi Master.
4 – Master. The player is able to use the Skill with masterful proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of the most powerful Jedi Council members and Grand Masters, such as Luke Skywalker.
5 – Grand Master. The player is able to use the Skill with ultimate proficiency, approximately representing a gestalt of the most powerful and extreme examples of the feat in Legends Expanded Universe lore.
All free points, whether purely from leveling up or granted by a class choice, terminate at rank 3. Any increase beyond that point requires investment from the point total for a character’s level.
Level 1: At Level 1, as soon as an Initiate completes the Guides and begins making their character sheet, they may choose from Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Force Sense to add to their character sheet for free, as these are three of the most basic abilities of a Force user. They may increase the rank of this power for free as they level up, once they hit the milestone levels for rank increases, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Level 4: Upon becoming a Jedi Knight, a Jedi may choose between Thought Resistance, Force Resistance, or Force Stun to add to their character sheet for free, up to rank 3 at level 5, as these powers are more aggressive and further help to distinguish the characterization and focus of a Force user from their peers.
Level 6: When promoted to Jedi Master, all Guardians gain Force Body, all Sentinels gain Force Cloak, and all Consulars gain Force Heal to add to their character sheets for free, up to rank 3. This allows for Jedi Masters to devote points to other abilities that will help distinguish them from others without detracting from abilities core to the essence of their class.
Level 7: Jedi Lords are naturally assumed to possess the knowledge of storing knowledge, that is, to create a Jedi Holocron for themselves with which to deposit their esoteric knowledge or life experiences to help teach future generations, or else to hoard for themselves. This process is a RITUAL, regardless of the class of the Jedi Lord. They receive 3 points in this power, and may invest further points into it if they so desire, as there is a clear distinction in the quality of holocrons from various Jedi Lords of the past.
CLASSES
All base classes are available at Level 1; Prestige classes become available at Level 3.
Jedi Guardian
Jedi Guardians are the martial foundation of the Jedi Order; disciplined and athletic, they place their focus on the physical aspects of Jedi life, training in the art of lightsaber combat and martial arts, and honing their Force abilities for use in battle or protection. Guardians are staunch defenders of the Light and will fight with every fiber for the triumph of justice. Many, but not all, Guardians were traditionally outfitted with blue lightsabers. Jedi Guardians are masters of physicality and receive free points in Force Valor up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at Level 5.
Famous Guardians include Knight Anakin Skywalker, Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Master Mace Windu.
Jedi Consular
Jedi Consulars are healers, historians, diplomats, and seers. Consulars place their focus on the more cerebral aspects of the Force, preferring to leave their lightsabers unignited and placing faith and trust in the power of the Light to guide and sharpen their abilities through meditation and study. Compassionate and studious, Consulars excel in using nonviolent means to uphold the tenets of Jedi philosophy. Most Consulars were traditionally outfitted with emerald lightsabers, but this was not always the case. As their connection to the Force and all that surrounds them tends to be far greater than the average Jedi, Consulars receive free points in Force Bond up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Famous Consulars include Grandmaster Yoda, Grandmaster Nomi Sunrider, Grandmaster Odan-Urr, and Kreia.
Jedi Sentinel
Jedi Sentinels strike a balance between Guardians and Consulars; they are practical in their approach to the Force and its myriad applications, blending combat and non-combat abilities. Sentinels often lean towards a civilian-style life, putting their skills to use in protecting citizens. They are adept in a wide variety of non-Force skills, using their Jedi schooling to augment their chosen field of expertise. Sentinels generally carried whatever lightsaber color that was bestowed on them, though a substantial portion in the Old Republic carried yellow lightsabers. The most elusive of Jedi, they receive free points in Force Stealth up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.
Famous Sentinels include Bastila Shan, Kyle Katarn, Tera Sinube, and Morrit Ch’gally.
Subclasses
Require Level 3
Guardian Subclasses
Jedi Warrior
Jedi Warriors are almost antithetical to the order itself, used as soldiers and brutal combatants on the bloody field of honor. They are extremely physically fit and skilled in martial arts and other techniques of warfare. Due to their extreme combative focus, warriors gain access to two Approaching the Dark skills (not whole trees).
An example of a Jedi Warrior is Master Mace Windu.
Jedi Peacekeepers
Peacekeepers are the protectors of justice and harmony in the galaxy. Peacekeepers are law enforcers, sentries, ambassadors, and negotiators with well-balanced skills in both combat and non-combat areas. Jedi Peacekeepers get two free points in Force Stun, regardless of rank, and two free points in Alter Damage.
An example of a Jedi Peacekeeper is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Jedi Starfighter
Members of the Jedi Starfighter Corps use the Force in perfect harmony with their piloting. Their unrivaled reaction time and precision in starfighter combat make them the finest force multipliers in aerial combat, and when melded with other starfighters, they can apply significant force to an entire fleet. Jedi Starfighters gain two free points in Force Meld and Force Direction, regardless of rank, and also are given a starfighter to use and customise.
An example of a Jedi Starfighter is Master Saesee Tiin.
Exotic Weapon Specialist
Exotic Weapons Specialists are Jedi Guardians who have chosen to either forgo lightsabers or use it alongside other weaponry, such as a quarterstaff, electrostaff, flail, force pike, and so on. In the past, this term also applied to those who mastered unusual lightsaber variants, but this is no longer the case. Exotic Weapon Specialists gain access to Force Weapon, enhancing their weapons through the Force to resist lightsabers, deflect blaster bolts, and shatter stone; given that some specialize in use of blasters and slugthrowers, access to Force Direction is also gained.
An example of an Exotic Weapons Specialist is Master Siolo Ur Manka.
Consular Subclasses
Jedi Healer
Jedi Healers are valuable members of the Jedi order and invaluable during war, keeping the wounded alive and rejuvenating them. Jedi Healers can heal and energize allies fast enough to put allies back into combat soon after they are disabled, ensuring a heavy reduction in loss of life. Jedi Healers get one free point in both Force Heal and Revitalization.
An example of a Jedi Healer is Barriss Offee.
Jedi Seer
Jedi Seers cross space and time with aetherial vision, viewing places worlds away, in the past, and far in the future. All Jedi Seers are capable of using Psychometry, and thus gain access to it, and have one free point each in Precognition and Farsight.
An example of a Jedi Seer is Grandmaster Yoda.
Jedi Sage
Jedi Sages are the polymaths of the order, typically serving as wise teachers and erudite lore keepers, and many even become Jedi Diplomats, working with governing bodies, monarchs, senators, committees, and so on to establish peace through the pen. Such cerebrally focused Jedi have exceptional talents with mind-affecting abilities, having honed such through constant use, and thus have access to a wider array of mind-affecting Force powers, including one dark mental power of their choice.
An example of a Jedi Sage is Grandmaster Odan-Urr.
Jedi Druid
Jedi Druids are rare among the Order, but those who do decide to immerse themselves in nature embody, in many ways, the principles of peace, serenity, and union with the Force present in the Jedi Order. Druids tend to present themselves humbly, and their work is usually associated with tending to younglings who are misled before arrival. Through their understanding and interactions with nature, they bring a sense of calm to those in spiritual turmoil. Druids are particularly adept, more so than others, at controlling the elements, and receive maximum proficiency for their level in either cryokinesis, pyrokinesis, or plant surge. Druids are also known for their healthy relationships with animals, and often create a Life Bond with one who acts as their friend and guide in nature. In addition to their elemental proficiency, a Jedi Druid receives two points in Force Bond for free, so long as that bond is used to create a life bond with an animal.
Upon attaining Master rank, a Druid’s communion with their Familiar and chosen element is so powerful that the Familiar can channel the elemental abilities that the Druid wills (albeit at half strength). Additionally, the Druid gains three points for free in one of the two elemental skills not previously chosen.
An example of a Jedi Druid is Master Fay.
Sentinel Subclasses
Jedi Slicer
Jedi Slicers have an odd affinity for machines, whether it be computers, droids, security systems, or something else entirely, they dedicate themselves to the mastery of technology in an increasingly technological age. Jedi Slicers gain two free points in Electronic Manipulation and their choice of either Technopathy or Technometry.
An example of a Jedi Slicer is the Jedi known as Rey.
Jedi Investigator
The Jedi Investigator spends more time “on call” than most, and historical spent more time on Coruscant but out of the temple than any other Jedi. The Investigator acted on behalf of the local and regional police forces, assisting in the capture of dangerous criminals and the finer riddance of crime than the more martial Jedi Guardian. As such, a Jedi Investigator was required to be quiet and observant in all aspects of their jobs. Jedi Investigators receive two free points in Force in both Force Stealth and Force Track in order to both hide themselves and find those who are hidden.
While not himself a Jedi Investigator, one might consider Master Tera Sinube to display best the attitude an Investigator should.
Jedi Shadows
Jedi Shadows are the dedicated enemies of the Dark Side, hunting down darksiders and their artifacts. Skilled in deception and subterfuge, Jedi Shadows often, but not always, view the universe in shades of gray, allowing them to make the most unpleasant moral compromises necessary, as well as allowing them to take one skill from Approaching the Dark at its highest available points for free (i.e. 3 points at Level 5, 4 points at Level 7, etc.). They also gain the power of False Dark Side Aura at the highest available level for their rank, allowing their subterfuge to go unnoticed and unsuspected.
While a Jedi Guardian, Master Quinlan Vos could be considered the model of a Jedi Shadow.
Jedi Rogue
Jedi Rogues are a type of Sentinel, most often, whose occupation as a Jedi generally goes unnoticed. Of all of the Jedi, they blend in with their surroundings most easily. Rogues are experts in falsifying their identities, both physically and legally, and in addition to being more easily able to forge documents and come up with stories about themselves on the fly, and to assist with this, they receive Alter Image/Masquerade at the highest available level for their rank for free. Jedi Rogues also generally train in the use of a weapon outside of the lightsaber to maintain secrecy, and so gain proficiency in the use of one such weapon (a blaster, electrostaff, vibrosword, bowcaster, etc.) when they take this subclass. Lastly, Rogues are often well-acquainted with the criminal Underworld, and many will obtain a dossier on numerous criminal individuals on their adventures.
An example of a Jedi Rogue is Kanan Jarrus.
Prestige Classes
Jedi Aces
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Starfighter
Jedi Aces are the highest ranking pilots of the Jedi naval effort and are often the leaders and teachers of the Jedi Starfighter Corp. Jedi Aces weave through hornet nests of turbolaser fire and missile barrages to deliver their explosive payload with bombs guided perfectly through the Force. Jedi Aces have become so attuned to usage of Force Meld and Force Direction that it is as innate to them as breathing, gaining both at their highest level for their rank, for free, and gaining access to the Talortai ability of Pathfinding.
An example of a Jedi Ace is Grandmaster Luke Skywalker.
Jedi Battlemasters
Requires level 7+, Jedi Warrior or Peacekeeper, six classical lightsaber forms
Utter nightmares to face in single combat, Jedi Battlemasters are the greatest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order, and teach other Jedi in the martial art of which they have no equal. So perfectly attuned to the Force and how it harmonises with saber techniques, Jedi Battlemasters enjoy maximum proficiency in one classical lightsaber form of their choice, and one free point in every other classical form.
An example of a Jedi Battlemaster is Master Kao Cen Darach.
Jedi Weapon Master
Requires Level 5+, Exotic Weapons Specialist
When an Exotic Weapon Specialist of the Jedi Order gains master rank and attains true mastery of their chosen weapon and impressive skill with several others, they gain the honorific title of Jedi Weapon Master. Depending on whether they specialized in a melee or ranged weapon, Weapon Masters enjoy four free points, regardless of rank, in either Force Weapon (melee) or Force Direction (ranged).
An example of a Jedi Weapon Master is Master Vodo-Siosk Baas.
Jedi Tech Expert
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Slicer
Tech Experts went beyond the simple manipulations that Slicers focused on, instead preferring complete mastery of technology. Among these abilities are the skills of Hassat-Durr and Mechu-Deru, which they gain free three points in.
An example of a Jedi Tech Expert is Master Kazdan Paratus.
Sith Hunter
Requires Level 6+, fitting personality and/or story [seek Council approval]
Based upon the Jedi Shadows, the Sixth Line, and the Jedi Covenant, these Jedi are the most unorthodox when it comes to the manner of hunting Sith. Often bearing purple lightsabers and occasionally bearing red lightsabers as their enemies do, they are well-equipped to slip into the enemy’s ranks to assassinate their top dogs or tap into the other side of the Force to grant an edge in a bloody, desperate battle. A Sith Hunter is able, more so than any other class, to dip into the powers of Darkness without succumbing to the temptation to turn completely, for their adherence to the ideology of the Jedi Order is too strong to allow such surrender. Sith Hunters may access two skill trees from the Approaching the Dark category, in addition to any offered by their base class or subclass.
Two examples of a Sith Hunter are Cade Skywalker and Lucien Draay.
Jedi Coordinator
Requires Level 6+, Jedi Sage
Jedi Coordinators are Jedi Sages who chose to maintain a focus on the most cerebral Force skills, and are the most powerful support unit on the battlefield, orchestrating strategies and providing mental artillery. Jedi Coordinators gain three free points in Battle Meditation and Force Meld.
An example of a Jedi Coordinator is Master Oppo Rancisis.
Jedi Prophet
Requires level 7+, Jedi Seer
Responsible for the Prophecy of the Chosen One, Jedi Prophets are Jedi Seers with extraordinary foreknowledge, and instantly gain the maximum proficiency in Precognition possible and gain at the highest level for their rank one other power from the Force Sense tree of their choice.
An example of a Jedi Prophet is Kreia.
Jedi Specialist
Requires level 5+, Jedi Sentinel [except Jedi Shadow]
These Jedi Sentinels specialize in whatever area they see fit, and often do so in more than one area, arranging for themselves a wide array of skills for any situation. Jedi Sentinels who choose the path of the specialist may acquire access to three skills from whatever subclasses they choose (only one skill may be learned each subclass).
An example of a Jedi Specialist is Kyle Katarn.
Jedi Temple Guard
Requires Level 5+, Jedi Sentinel or Jedi Peacekeeper
Upon attaining sufficient skill as a Jedi Knight, a Sentinel or Peacekeeper may choose to become security for the Jedi temple. Unlike previous iterations, this position is permanent. Sentinels become the gold-white masked legion of guardians ever patrolling the halls and yards of the various Jedi temples and are given special lightsaber-resistant armor and phrik saberstaffs.
Physically imposing Jedi Peacekeepers become Jedi Brutes and guard the entrances, warding off aggression through intimidation, and are given Force-imbued phrik armor and lightsaber-resistant saberstaffs.
Less physically imposing Jedi Peacekeepers become Jedi Snipers, patrolling the heights of temples and striking farther and more accurately than any other, and are endowed with their choice of Force Focus or Saber Throw at maximum proficiency for their rank, depending on whether they are exceptional with their sabers, or elect to use actual rifles.
An example of a Temple Guard is, despite his fall, the one who became known as the Grand Inquisitor. Because of their largely anonymous nature, others who bore the title of Temple Guard seldom have names or faces attached to them.
THE POWERS OF A JEDI
The powers of a Jedi are divided into three basic categories, just as the classes are; these categories are Control, Sense, and Alter.
There are certain abilities which do not fall under any of these categories; these are Lightsaber Forms and the Force powers which augment their practice, Paragon abilities, and powers whose practitioners are Approaching the Dark. You must have Council approval to be Approaching the Dark.
For powers marked as INNATE, the character must have some hereditary, genetic, or cultural predisposition towards using these powers. For example, if your ancestors were well known for being powerful practitioners of Psychometry, you too would have access to this INNATE power by hereditary means. Please seek Council approval before selecting innate powers.
Powers marked as UNIQUE are extraordinarily rare powers for Jedi to possess, and require Council approval.
Lightsaber Forms and Augmenting Techniques
Classical Forms
—Form I - Shii-Cho
Simple and relentless. Bold and kinetic. Somewhat slow at lower levels, but more skilled users become a waterfall of fluid slashes. Masters of this martial art release themselves into the Force, channeling it deeply and possibly endangering their spirit, but becoming an unpredictable hurricane of lightsaber strikes.
At least basic skill in this martial art is necessary to learn to use a lightsaber efficiently without injury.
—Form II - Makashi (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Quick and precise. Elegant and efficient, emphasizing leverage through footwork and positioning. Lacking in strength.
Martial artists of lower levels have an excellent and very active defense against lightsabers, but lack the precision to mount an effective offense. More skilled users are dreadful to face in lightsaber duels, utilizing expert precision and speed to slip beneath an opponent's defense and swat aside an opponent's offense.
This form relies the least on one's connection to the Force, and relies more on the user's intellect and skill than physical ability, though taller user's will have advantage in reach.
This form is weak to blasterfire, Form V Djem So, but not Shien, and Form VII Juyo, but not Vaapad. This form is strong against Form I, Form IV, Form VI, and the lower levels of Form III.
— Form III - Soresu (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Subtle and tight. Conservative and economic, prioritizing defense over offense in the ultimate philosophical showcase of Jedi non-aggression.
Novice users are quite exceptional when defending from blaster bolts and other projectiles, but in heavy fire scenarios and against skilled opponents, they only delay the inevitable. A master of this form can be considered nearly invincible, able to walk through hornet nests of blaster fire unscathed and defeat powerful duelists through patience and masterful timing.
This form has no dedicated attack sequence, and the user must rely on the deflecting parries and ripostes, or another form, to defeat an enemy.
The lower levels of this form are weak to Form II and Form VII, but beyond that, it has no weakness to another form. This form is strong against blasterfire.
— Form IV - Ataru (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Acrobatic and flowing. Elaborate and aggressive, reliant on the physical agility of the user in conjunction with their strength in the Force. Lacks dedicated defense, relying on agility to dodge attacks.
Beginners may disorient their opponents with spins and flips, but may have trouble closing off all openings in their motion for the enemy to attack. The most proficient users become an offensive omnidirectional dervish of blades, striking more swiftly than any other, evading too quickly for an opponent to catch and overwhelming them.
The user becomes a conduit for the Force, but one can only be a conduit for so long before burning out. Thus, this form is best used on single opponents and to end a fight quickly, or to be supplemented with another style.
This form is weak to Form II and Form III. This form is strong to Form V.
— Form V - Shien/Djem So (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
A dual discipline of two separate forms too similar to teach separately: Shien and Djem So.Most Form V users express a preference for one of these forms like one expresses a preference for a left or right hand when writing. Both forms were created by Soresu masters who felt Form III was insufficient in keeping the peace.
Shien: The Lesser Krayt
Technical and aggressive. Energetic and mildly acrobatic. Utilizes a full 360 degrees of motion. Contains some Ataru inspiration.
The Shien lightsaber form was the original variant of Form V, utilizing a counterstrike-focused fighting style that was technical, quick, and energetic, but still very aggressive. Nowadays, it’s taught more for its deflection capabilities than dueling practicality, as it possesses no other clear advantages over other forms.
Unlike the later Djem So, this form has no mobility weakness, and thus is not weak to Form IV.
This form is strong to blasterfire.
Djem So: The Greater Krayt
Stout and imposing. Strong and domineering, relying on physical strength and powerful counterstrikes following an even stronger defense to defeat an enemy. Advances upon a straight line.
The style is characterized by deflecting oncoming attacks before responding in kind with a harsher counter strike. Beginners may find their counterattacks to be slow, but will find their defense and general attacks more than adequate for most situations. An advanced user will be fast and fluid in their death dance, deflecting and striking back with incredible strength and fluidity to dominate their opponent. Masterful users become something incredible to view, taking on a Makashi-esque level of precision and finesse while maintaining a monstrous level of dominating, offensive power, betraying its Makashi influence.
One of the most physically demanding of the styles, dependent on the physical strength of the user, but by no means a slow style.
Due to its lack of mobility, this form is weak to Form IV. Due to its emphasis on quick, powerful strikes, this form is strong to Form II.
— Form VI - Niman (Requires Form I - Shii-Cho)
Balanced and moderate. Intermixed and relaxed, most often combined with the practiced use of telekinesis to supplement the bladework.
Niman is truly the most balanced of the styles, not being sincerely advantageous anywhere, but lacking drawbacks that other styles hold. It could be incredibly dangerous in the hands of a patient, cunning, and calculating practitioner, a trait which gained it the moniker of “the Trickster’s Form” among Jedi Battlemasters. A trainee could keep up with students of other forms fairly well, but would risk being overcome by the clear advantages of another style. A master would take advantage of the lack of Niman’s own drawbacks, pressing their opponent to prevent the advantages the other possesses without letting themselves be taken advantage of, and will often harmonize with the opponent, responding to attacks with the equal and opposite.
One of the least physically demanding styles, but also the one which allows for the most individual creativity from its user, making it a very cerebral style best used when combined with other techniques, whether implementation of telekinetics or other practices like Jar'kai, which can become its own style in combination with this form.
This form is weak to Form II.

Paragon
Paragon abilities are reserved for the upper echelons of Jedi, with some taking lifetimes to master. Through hard work, dedication and much time spent within the Order, a Jedi may come to obtain powers many, even the Sith, could not stand to comprehend. All Paragon abilities cost 10 points and may require prerequisites based on level, Class, Subclass/Prestige class, or requisite abilities.
