Force Power: Merge Senses (Plants)
Sense Difficulty: Moderate
Required Powers: Magnify senses, sense Force
Time to Use: This power may be kept up.
Effect: Another exceedingly rare power exhibited by only a few Jedi, this power is considered a plant-based counterpart to the traditional merge senses power. This power allows the user to perceive things through the senses of another plant; however, the plant in question must be a specimen of organic surveillance. A perfect example of such a plant is the panopticon willow. Various Yuuzhan Vong plants, such as the villip, would also qualify as plant-based organic surveillance. Still, given the unique nature of the Yuuzhan Vong and anything associated with them, any attempts to use this power on them automatically generally fail. Only individuals altered by the Yuuzhan Vong, like Tahiri Veila and Jacen Solo, can use this power successfully on Yuuzhan Vong plant life. The specific details about this will be discussed in a later section.
The user can use this power to link with a plant to find something, so long as the plant has something that can serve as an eye. A successful roll gives the user a +2D bonus to any search rolls for as long as this power is active.
While the user’s senses are merged with the plant, the user’s body is motionless. The user’s senses are unable to function until the meld is broken. Releasing the target plant requires a Moderate roll. The link with the plant can also be broken upon the death of the user or the plant. If the plant suffers damage or dies during the meld, the user suffers half the damage.
Background: Merge Senses (Plants) allows the force user to perceive things through the senses of another plant; however, the plant in question must be a specimen of organic surveillance.
