Jedi Shadow

The Jedi Shadow creates and sets up cover identities to aid him an individual mission and usually discards them after the mission’s completion. To create an identity the Jedi Shadow must spend a certain amount of time researching to establish the identity. The difficulty and time are based on the profile of the identity being created; consult the following table for check DCs and times.

Table 1-1: Cover Identity DC Examples

Identity Type Time Cost credits

Common 1 day 100 15 Everyday person—laborer, craftsman, guard.

Moderate 1 week 500 20 Military officer, a noble, a specialized craftsman

Difficult 3 weeks 1500 35 A ranking officer, a government official, an powerful merchant

To create the identity the Jedi Shadow must make a successful, Disguise, and Gather Information checks at the listed DC. Each represents an aspect of the preliminary work that must go into creating this identity. Failure on one skill check results in additional 25% time added to the creation time with a subsequent cost of 25% of the credits; after the added time has elapsed the skill check must be made again—failure this time results in another penalty of 25%

Once successfully created, this identity is almost undetectable under normal scrutiny. Only if the Jedi Shadow does something particularly unusual or is operating under extremely tight security will his identity come into question. Jedi Shadows must be particularly wary around those specifically trained to look for deception, as interaction with individuals such as these may provoke skill checks to avoid suspicion.

The ability does not allow one to imitate an individual of another species, note that this ability does not allow one to impersonate a living individual; the identity created is entirely new.

The Jedi Shadow gains an insight bonus on Wisdom checks to avoid being surprised. This bonus is equal to the Jedi Shadow's class level

If the Jedi Shadow is exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, the Jedi Shadow suffers no damage if he or she makes a successful saving throw. Evasion can only be used when wearing light armor or no armor

At 5th level, the Jedi Shadow learns a special technique to hide himself using the Force. He becomes a pale shadow and easily blends into his surroundings.

While Force camouflage is activated, the Jedi Shadow gains a +10 Force bonus on Hide checks. If a character succeeds in his Spot check against the Jedi Shadow's Hide check, the spotter detects the Jedi Shadow and can target him normally. However, any attack directed at the camouflaged Jedi Shadow has a 20% chance to miss due to concealment.

Activating Force camouflage is an attack action and costs 3 vitality points. Every additional round that Force camouflage is maintained requires an attack action and the expenditure of 3 vitality points. A Jedi Shadow can't maintain Force camouflage while using other Force skills or engaging in distracting activity.

The Jedi Shadow becomes so certain in the use of certain skills that she can use them reliably even under adverse conditions.Upon gaining this ability, she selects a number of skills equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier. When making a skill check with one of these skills, she may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so.

At 5th level, a Jedi Shadow is able to hide himself from the physical reality at the same time as masking his presence from other Force-users. A Jedi Shadow gains the ability to use Force camouflage without disrupting the Force Stealth skill. This combination also allows the Jedi Shadow to remain hidden from a Force-user using the Sense Surroundings technique.
