A Word From the Author

The contents of this document are largely converted as closely as possible from Wizards of the Coast's d20
Star Wars Roleplaying Game. However, there is also a good deal of my own personal interpretation of the Star
Wars universe. I should also mention that material has been taken only from the d20 Star Wars Revised Core
Rulebook; if this document is successful, I will add material from the Hero's Guide, the Power of the Jedi
Sourcebook, and the Dark Side Sourcebook.
This is only part of a much larger project I've been working on, a project that aims to totally convert the
entire Star Wars universe to the ALTERNITY rules set. I knew from the start, however, that I really needed to focus on
the Force, as the Force is—by far—the most recognizable aspect of the Star Wars setting; for without the Force, Star
Wars is really not much more than another generic space opera.
That all being out of the way, I'll say that there's still much playtesting to do, so don’t feel like anything is set
in stone.
Please feel free to email any concerns to my address, raronson@gmail.com. Also, be sure to check out my
personal website, http://www.progressivedementia.net. Thanks!

The Force Adept profession is exactly the same
as the Mindwalker profession as outlined in the ALTERNITY
supplement Mindwalking: A Guide to Psionics. All the
same rules, abilities, and limitations apply. The only
differences are in the renaming of the profession and
the renaming of psionic energy to Force energy.

user is no longer aware of anything going on around
him, and will not awaken to anything but the stimulus

The minimum amount of time a Force user may
be in a Force trance is one week.
Heightened Awareness
One who is stronger in the Force than the
average person is more difficult to surprise. When faced
with surprise, a Force-Sensitive character can perform a

New Basic Skills
Acrobatics-redirect projectiles
DEX - 4 - CF
This skill can't be used untrained.
By training in this skill, a character wielding a
lightsaber, Sith sword, or any other appropriate
weapon (as determined by the GM) is able to redirect
incoming blaster bolts and other projectiles back
towards their source. Ranks in this skill cannot be taken
by those without at least four ranks in the skill
governing their weapon (Melee-powered or Melee-
blade).
A character who wishes to use Acrobatics-
redirect projectiles must declare that he is doing so as a
reaction to a specific projectile attack that will be used
against him in the same phase. Use of this skill costs
one action. The attacker and defender make opposed
attack checks, with the defender's Melee-powered or
Melee-blade check at a +1 step penalty. If the defender
wins the contest, he immediately makes an Acrobatics-
redirect projectiles check against the attacker. The
degree of success of this check determines the level of
damage the original attacker receives. The exact
amount of damage per level is derived from whatever
projectile weapon was used against the defender.
Projectiles that move too fast for the eye to see
(such as bullets) cannot be redirected in this manner.
If the user of this skill wishes, he may simply
block projectiles and not attempt to redirect them. Using
the skill in this manner awards a –1 bonus.
Melee Weapons-lightsaber
DEX - 5 - C
Note: Despite the fact that Melee Weapons is a
Strength-based broad skill, the specialty skill Melee-
weapons-lightsaber is Dexterity-based. Without the
Melee Weapons broad skill and any ranks in lightsaber,
a character wielding a lightsaber uses his Dexterity
untrained score rather than his Strength untrained
score. When the Melee Weapons broad skill is
purchased, a characters wielding a lightsaber uses his
full Dexterity score rather than his full Strength score.
All ranks bought in Melee weapons-lightsaber stack on
a character’s Dexterity score, not his Strength score.
With no ranks in Melee Weapons-lightsaber, a
character suffers a +2 step penalty to any use of a
lightsaber. This is because a lightsaber's blade has no

weight and is ridiculously "sharp." A lightsaber's wielder
must know where the blade is at all times lest he cut his
own limbs off by accident.
Once a single rank is taken, the penalty reduces
to +1. At rank 4, it reduces to +0.
With no training, any use of a lightsaber carries
the chance of self-injury. On a failure, there is a 50%
chance the wielder will inflict ordinary damage on
himself. On a critical failure, not only does he
automatically self-inflict damage, but it's good damage.
At ranks 1-3, there is still the danger of self-
injury, but it is only 25%, and on a critical failure the
damage is only ordinary. At rank 4 all chance of self-
injury disappears.

skill. A Force user, through experience and training, can
literally attune himself to a specific skill, making himself
a “natural” in its use. In terms of gameplay, a Force
user chooses a Force specialty skill, and from that point
forward the base situation die of that specialty skill is
lowered by 1 step.

Adepts) may begin purchased this perk as an
achievement benefit beginning at level 6, for a cost of 6

This perk is exactly same as the Increased
Energy perk as outlined in the ALTERNITY supplement
Mindwalking: A Guide to Psionics.
New Weapons
Lightsaber, Basic
During personal combat, lightsabers destroy
most melee weapons on contact. The GM will determine
which weapons can and cannot be destroyed in this
manner.
Lastly, lightsabers attract ungrounded
electricity, and can be used to block electric blasts
(including Force Lightning blasts, even though Force
lighting isn't technically electricity).

Basic
Sith Alchemical Sword
The Sith alchemical sword was not actually a
specific weapon; rather, it was a template that could be
applied to any weapon that had a blade on it (although
ancient tradition encouraged only weapons under the
"sword" category). Using expensive alchemy machinery
combined with the Force, ancient Sith alchemists
discovered how to alter the physical properties of pre-
existing blades so that they would be extremely light
and could deflect blaster fire and even lightsabers(!).
Furthermore, with the infusion of dark Force energies at
the blade's creation, a Sith warrior could channel
destructive energy into the blade, causing it to become
unnaturally sharp for great periods of time.
The technology to create Sith alchemical
swords first surfaced in Progress Level 7. To create a
Sith alchemical sword, first was there was chosen a
regular sword which would serve as the base weapon.
The sword would then be introduced to Sith sorcery
augmented by machines. All that weapon's stats—and
the skill presenting it—remained unchanged, save for
weight. After the alchemy-induced transformation, the
sword would have a mass of no more than 2 (like a
lightsaber).
A proper Jedi would refuse to wield a Sith
alchemical sword as it was meant to be wielded, as
doing so would be for purely destructive purposes, and
not necessary for defense (and as such would inflict a
dark side point).
Sith alchemical swords would never be created
for the purpose of being publicly sold; Sith warriors
would craft them themselves or commission the
construction of one by a skilled Sith alchemist. In the
modern Star Wars eras, the art of Sith alchemy has
been lost, and thus the Sith alchemical sword is
nothing more than a grim memory.
Rules: When a sword is alchemically treated, its
base damage is increased by two for all degrees. By
spending a last resort and gaining a dark side point, a
Force user may increase the damage of his weapon by
d6s/d6w/2m. For an additional 1 Force point, the extra
damage may be raised to d8+2s/d8+2w/4m.
Whether a last resort is spent or not, a Sith
alchemical sword is permanently resistant to
lightsabers and may permanently deflect blaster fire.
The Force Defense specialty skill may defend
against attacks made by a Force-enhanced enhanced
Sith sword.
The Force
Except for what is described below,
mechanics for using the Force are the same as those
outlined for psionics in the ALTERNITY supplement
Mindwalking: A Guide to Psionics.
Like normal skills, Force skills each have an
associated broad skill and Ability. Some Force skills
even have rank benefits (which may not be purchased
Page 3 of 15
2 Special Not sold
ahead of time). However, unlike normal broad skills,
Force-based broad skills are not tied to any specific key
Ability. Instead of all the specialty skills starting out with
the same score as their broad skill's key Ability, they
begin with the same score as their individual key
Ability. Also, some Force specialty skills—or even their
rank benefits alone—require that more than one Force
broad skill be purchased. To determine which Ability
score to use for such skills, use the higher Ability score
of the two required broad skills.
The Dark Side
Not every Force-user wishes to follow the strict
tenants of the light side. They want power, and they
want it fast. They're tired of denying themselves
emotions that feel all too natural—and pleasurable.
They feel like they're not living up to their fullest
potential. For whatever the reason, such Force-users
allow their passions to consume them, and fall to the
dark side.
The Nature of the Dark Side
Across the known galaxy, every Force-user or
character undergoing training in the Force has one
thing in common: an inclination towards strong,
absolute emotions. The more these beings focus their
minds and become attuned to the Living Force, the
more they desire to indulge in their passions, whatever
those passions may be. This is an unfortunate side-
effect of learning to manipulate the midichlorians within
the body. As a character's midichlorians are configured
to become increasingly potent, natural control over
emotions and impulse control begins to deteriorate. If a
character simply allows this to occur and doesn't fight it,
he eventually reaches a point where his emotions are so
out of control and his impulse control is so shattered
that he no longer has the power to do so. When this
tragic event occurs, he becomes known as "lost to the
dark side."
When a character is lost to the dark side, he is
at first a mess of extreme, black-and-white emotions
and no impulse control. Essentially, the character has
been "reborn" to darkness; like a child, he must relearn
to control his emotions and impulses. However, unlike
those of the light, a Force-user of darkness has no
desire to completely control his emotions and impulses
—he'd rather learn (if anything) how to focus his now
absolute, extreme feelings like the burning light of the
sun through a magnifying lens. He feels that his
emotions give him power and focus unlike he has ever
had. He's no longer concerned with inner balance and
harmony.
Now sunk beneath the turbulent waves of the
black, murky, bottomless ocean of the dark side, our
Force-user is pure evil taken physical form. He is cold,
calculating, remorseless, and most of all, fully aware of
his state in all its evil glory. He needs no excuses for
what he does; he is of the dark side. Might makes right.
That's all that matters. He wants what he wants, and
he's now willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
If our fallen Force-user is smart, he'll soon
realize that the chaos of his reborn state won't keep him
alive for very long. He realizes that even he, a follower
of darkness and shadow, must learn to manipulate and
control his emotions to maintain and continued
existence. However, as previously stated, the "control" of
a dark side devotee is very different from that of a
follower of light. Whereas a follower of light seeks to
"smooth" his emotions and bring them into a serene
balance with one another (creating inner harmony as a
result), a follower of darkness seeks to melt down and
combine the strongest of his emotions and forge a
powerfully potent weapon with them; an undefeatable
trump card used to acquire anything he wants.
On the social front, a member of the dark side is
incapable of true love, joy, kindness, goodness,
gentleness, compassion, mercy, empathy, or any such
feelings. He may feel twisted versions of them, but he is
virtually forever barred from their true iterations. Any
rare, internal encounters with them become perverted
by selfish desires. The same goes for feelings of
friendship or brotherhood/sisterhood.
Lastly, it is virtually impossible for a member of
the dark side to cast off his cape and hood of shadow
and return to the light. However, under the right,
exceedingly rare circumstances... see "Redemption",
below.
The Mechanics of
Falling to the Dark Side
Every time a Force-user performs an evil act,
calls upon the dark side (see below), or uses a dark
side Force power, he gains a dark side point.
What defines an evil act? In terms of the Star
Wars universe, anything that significantly harms or
takes advantage of another living being purely for
reasons of selfish gain. Examples include:
• Intentionally, physically harming a living being
more than is necessary (if at all) under the
circumstances
• Disobeying superiors for purely selfish gain
• Gaining and maintaining a full-scale hatred of
someone or something
• Murder
• Rape
• Infidelity
• Moderate to large-scale lying for purely selfish
gain
• Intentional deception of a moderate to large
scale for purely selfish gain
• Moderate to large-scale theft
• Moderate to large-scale cheating
If you are deceiving others for selfish gain and
this is not obvious to the GM for whatever reason, you
must tell the GM or be penalized in some creativity
Page 4 of 15
painful way when the truth is revealed.
So what about all the physical harming on a
small scale out of spite, and the small-scale lies,
deception, theft, cheating, etc.? Each of those counts as
half a dark side point, and should be recorded as such
when they transpire. Gaining and maintaining a
grudge or prejudice also counts as half a dark side
point (unless of course it is acted upon).
One last note about evil acts and dark side
points: a character does not gain dark points on a by-
scene or by-encounter basis; he gains them purely on a
specific basis. For example: Anakin Skywalker enters
the Jedi Temple and starts to kill anything that moves.
He does not gain a dark side point for entering the Jedi
Temple and murdering its inhabitants; that would be on
a by-encounter basis. Rather, he gains a dark side
point for each and every person he murders while there
(which means he fell to the dark side quite fast).
When the character has an amount of dark side
points equal to or greater than his Will Ability score +2,
divided by 2 (rounding down), he is "tainted". In terms of
mechanics, being tainted means it is harder to atone
(see below). Aside from that, to be tainted is purely a
subject of roleplaying: the character becomes arrogant,
cocky, more passionate, overly-confident in his abilities,
and less likely to obey superiors. In other words, he is
beginning to have an obvious loss of control over his
emotions and impulse control, and doesn't appreciate
the consequences of his actions as much as he used to.
However, keep in mind that the character is still
generally good at this point; he has simply taken on the
guise of, for example, a rebellious teenager.
When the character has an mount of dark side
points equal to or greater than his Will Ability score +2,
he has fallen to the dark side and is virtually
unredeemable. If the party has one or more light side
Force users and/or is made up of mostly good-aligned
characters, the fallen character is taken over by the GM
and leaves the party to pursue his own passions.
Once a character has fallen, it is no longer
important to keep track of his dark side points.
The Quick and Easy Path
When a Force-user is going to spend a last
resort point, he can declare that he is calling on the
dark side while doing so. This costs a Force energy
point, and awards a benefit to the Force-user as if he
were a Free Agent spending two such points at the
same time.
When a character calls upon the dark side in
this manner, he becomes filled with twisted rage.
Casting Off the Darkness
Atoning
Force-users may attempt to return fully to the
light side of the Force. To do so requires a complex WIL
feat check, the complexity of which depends on whether
or not the character is tainted. Each check represents 6
hours of meditation and reflection. Untainted characters
must succeed in complex WIL feat check of Good
complexity, 4 successes. Tainted characters face a task
with an Amazing complexity, 8 successes.
An act of dramatic heroism can also atone for a
dark side point. To qualify as an act of dramatic
heroism, a character must perform above and beyond
the call of duty, risking his own safety for the sake of
others.
Redemption
Once an addict to the dark side's lust for
emotional extremes, almost invariably always an
addict. The nature of the Force itself can be thanked for
that. It is virtually impossible to return to the light.
However, as long as a Force-user has the following two
conditions going for him, he's redeemable (in theory):
he must have lived at least roughly half or more of his
life in the light, and had to have been a generally good
person before his fall.
If those two conditions are met, a fallen
character who for some reason performs an utterly
selfless, heroic act that draws forth great, powerful
swells of positive emotion can wash away the darkness
within himself just long enough to finally swim to the
surface of the dark, murky, bottomless ocean of the dark
side. At that point, he may still be drowning and
exhausted, ready to go under again at any moment, but
he's at least now at a place where he can be spotted
and rescued. In terms of mechanics, he is now merely
"tainted", having an amount of dark side points equal to
his WIL score +2 divided by 2 (rounding down).
The question that remains is, "Why on earth
would an utterly selfish and evil creature perform an
utterly selfless and good act?" That depends on the dark
sider, and who they were before they fell. We have only
one example in the movies of a dark sider who returned
to the light: Anakin Skywalker. Before he fell, all he
cared about -- to the point of (literally) sacrificing
everything and everyone -- was the safety of his wife
and unborn child. When he watched as Sidious slowly
tortured his son to death, it suddenly occurred to him
that Luke was all he had left of his wife, and it was for
his wife and Luke in the first place that he did
something he didn't want to do at the time: he joined the
dark side and sacrificed his own future. It had all been
for them! And here he was, just watching his son die.
Something just snapped in his head, and he picked up
Sidious and hurled him down a pit, killing himself in the
process... but also saving himself.
Work with your GM to determine what personal
circumstances might force your character back to the
light (as long as he lived roughly half of his life or more
in the light and was generally a good person before he
fell). Obviously, strong emotions pulled him into the
murky depths of the dark side; whatever the
circumstances surrounding his fall, they invariably had
to be frightening and tragic. What if your character
were suddenly confronted with the option to "fix" that
tragedy, to set things right, to destroy an incarnation of
that which was so frightening, like Anakin was in the
Emperor's throne room? How would your character
respond, being a person dominated by emotion? It's
important to remember that a character doesn't
necessarily need to die to be redeemed; that's simply
the way it happened with Anakin. However, a large
amount of personal, selfless sacrifice should be part of
the equation. If he can somehow pull off that sort of an
action, an action that his own dark, twisted logic sees
as the right path, the right thing to do, he will be
redeemed.

ranks 4, 8, and 12, respectively. Each level improves on

his movement rates by 10 for 2 phases (6 seconds). By
extension, his jumping distance is multiplied by 5
during this time. The second level doubles level 1, and
the third level triples level 1. If desired, a Force user
may opt to use a lower level of Force Speed than he has

Another possible use of Farseeing is to make
rerolls. If you fail a roll, you can opt to use your skill in
Farseeing to determine whether or not you saw yourself
at some earlier time performing the action in question. If
you opt to do this, make a Farseeing check with a +3
step penalty. Any success indicates that you may reroll
the check you failed. Although the vision is assumed to
have been seen earlier, use of it in this fashion still costs
the normal amount of Force points.
Time: A Farseeing check takes 1 full hour to
accomplish, whether it succeeds or not, and may only
be made once in a given week. When using Farseeing
to make a reroll, it is assumed that you spent an hour
performing the check at some point earlier in the same
week.

Dark side skill. Using this skill gives a character

Dark side adherents use this skill to project fear

this, a successful check inflicts the target with a penalty
