Force Power: Stonepower
Sense Difficulty: Moderate
Required Powers: Life detection, sense Force
Time to Use: 1-3 Rounds
Effect: The inhabitants of the Vagadarr system refers to the Force as “Stonepower”. By being in the presence of the glowing blue stones found on that world, which were in fact fragments of the giant living mountains imbued with the Living Force that were on the planet, anyone, even those who are not Force-sensitive, can perform feats like telekinesis.

Master Yoda came upon this world after tracking down a disturbance in the Force. During his time there, he learned their ways, learned the truth about the stones and the mountains, and managed to end the war plaguing the planet.

When one uses stonepower, one can sense the Living Force within rocks and stones that are alive, like the living mountains of the Vagadarr system. When one uses this power first, one can then use telekinesis on the stone fragments with greater ease. One can also use the Force to heal these living stones and bring them out of their slumber.

In GM terms, when a Jedi succeeds in activating this power, the power grants the Jedi a +1D bonus to all Force skills rolls on creatures made of stone or crystal for several rounds, depending on the result of the roll.

Roll ≥ difficulty by:	Duration of bonus
0-10	1 Round
11-20	2 Rounds
21+	3 Rounds

Game Note: This bonus can only be applied when the Jedi uses the Force on creatures made of stone or crystal, like the living mountains of the Vagadarrr system and the Shards. If the Jedi were to divert his or her attention away from these creatures, the bonus would end immediately.

Restrictions: This power is not considered available for Jedi to learn, as it requires specialized training from one who has learned this power. It is more than likely that one can only learn this power by interacting with the living mountains of the Vagadarr system.

The Vagadarr system is in an isolated area of the galaxy, so the chances of finding it are remote. While Yoda was able to find the planet and learn this power, it is unknown if he had taught others this power. While Luke Skywalker found the planet thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s journal, it’s unknown if he has learned this power or if he has taught it to others. Thus, the GM is strongly encouraged not to allow any Force-sensitive individual not native to the Vagadarr system to learn this power.
