Force Points

Home > Force Points

A Force Point represents the will of the Force interceding on behalf of a character, though some might call it luck. A character doesn’t have to be Force-sensitive in order to use a Force Point, however. The Force helps all forms of life, and even droids can benefit from Force Points. For someone who is sensitive to the will of the Force, a Force Points represents a conscious choice to act on the Force’s behalf or to subjugate the Force to their will.

Gaining Force Points
At 1st level, every character begins with 1 Force Point. Whenever a character achieves a new level they gain an additional Force Point. Force Points can be gained in other ways as a reward from your GM, such as defeating a particularly tough opponent, succeeding on an incredibly difficult skill check, or some other extraordinary event the GM deems worthy. Additionally, if you have no Force Points and have not gained one within a week’s time, you gain a Force Point. The feat Force Boon gives you an immediate Force Point, and allows you to gain a free one every day.

At any given time, a character can have no more than 5 Force Points. Any gained beyond this amount are simply wasted.

Using Force Points
You can spend a Force Point for a variety of different effects.

Reroll

 * You can spend a Force Point to reroll an attack roll, ability check, skill check, or saving throw and take the better result.

Confirm Critical

 * You can spend a Force Point to confirm a critical hit without the need to roll again to see if your critical succeeds, even if the critical threat wouldn’t hit your opponent.

Avoid Death

 * If you are reduced in your total number of hit points to the point you would be killed, you can spend a Force Point to instead go to -1 Hit Points and become stable.  This does not make you conscious, and any subsequent damage may kill you.

Recover From Unconsciousness

 * If you are at negative hit points and stable (not dying), at the start of your turn you can spend a Force Point to immediately move to 0 HP and become conscious and disabled.

Power Force

 * You can spend a Force Point to empower one of your Force abilities.  Each ability will tell you how this works.
