Reduce Injury

Force Power: Reduce Injury

Control Difficulty: Moderate for incapacitated characters, Difficult for mortally wounded characters, Very Difficult for dead characters.

Required Powers: Control Pain

Effect: A Jedi may use this power to reduce the amount of injury she suffers. This power is normally only used in desperation because of its long-term repercussions. The power must be used in the round that the injury is suffered or in the round immediately following. When the power is successful, the Jedi loses a Force Point. Any injury that is suffered is reduced to wounded. If the original injury would have killed the character, the gamemaster will inflict a relevant permanent injury on the character.

Game Note: It is not always a “selfish” act to save one’s life, so the character might be able to get the Force Point back. If the character was fighting to save her friends from certain doom — and if she fails, they certainly die — then this could even be considered an heroic action.
