Not everyone who is skilled in the ways of the Force seeks to hold a position of tremendous authority. In fact, some believe they would find it too easy to abuse their unique abilities if they placed themselves in a position of leadership. Instead, they choose to accept the Advisor's role to ensure they cannot be corrupted by the lure of power. Others feel their advice too valuable to limit to one planet or region and wander the stars, sowing the guidance of the Force whereever they might go. Socially adept and Force-sensitive characters with either of these philosophies can be excellent fits for the Advisor specialization.

Advisors acquire Charm, Deception, Negotiation, and Streetwise as additional career skills. If this is the character's starting specialization, they may choose two of these skills and gain one free rank in each, without spending starting experience. This combination enables Advisors to take a very pragmatic approach in working with others and offering them the guidance of the Force. An accomplished Advisor can quickly analyze the risks of a situation and then, using the necessary tools, influence the involved parties so that a desired outcome is rapidly achieved. A less scrupulous individual with these techniques could become a successful con artist. Advisors must be careful to avoid that fate.

 Some Advisors attach themselves to a planetary government, helping to shape the rule of law and ensure fairness and justice for all. Many popular rulers have had wise Advisors at hand, helping ensure their policies do the most good for the greatest number. Other Advisors choose to work in less glamorous roles - often among the poor and the desperate. There, they try to counsel and guide individuals in dire straits, sometimes providing salvation to those who have lost all hope.

The presence and showmanship that can come naturally to all Mystics reflects itself in the way of a duelist. For practitioners of Makashi, dominating a combat through one's presence is just as important as dominating it through martial prowess, and the Makashi Duelist is the ultimate expression of that art.

Makashi Duelists acquire Charm, Cool, Coordination, and Lighstaber as additional career skills. If this is the character's starting specialization, they may choose two of these skills and gain one free rank in each, without spending starting experience. This combination reflects the showmanship and presentation so intrinsic to the duelist's art. A true Makashi Duelist must always fight with poise and grace, never showing the slightest strain and keeping complete control over their facial expressions and their body's most minute movements.

Though some detractors may dismiss this fighting style as overly foppish and vain, a Makashi Duelist remains an exceptionally potent combatant. Those detractors forget that the Makashi form was developed to fight against other lightaber-armed opponents. At its heart, Makashi focuses on one goal: to meet an enemy with a sword or lightsaber and slay him. A true Makashi Duelist never loses sight of this goal, and all their flourishes and feints are but means to an end. Movements that work to deflect and exhaust an opponent - particularly if the foe is not prepared for battle with a Force-sensitive - can soon leave an enemy frustrated with the entire experience. As the opponent becomes increasingly worn down, the Makashi Duelist soon finds an opportunity to exploit the foe's exhaustion.

A Makashi Duelist's force of personality rather than natural athleticism, often drives his combat technique. Elements of personal flair become an effective means of disorienting and distracting an opponent during a battle. Sometimes a verbal misdirection can be every bit as effective as a physical one, leaving an opponent open to a single master stroke.

Some individuals are able to remain constantly aware of the Force's presence, even as they go about their daily lives. They recognize its influence in the subtlest of ways. For them, minor ripples in the Force reveal deep meanings and foreward of critical events far in the future. However, this quantity of information - particularly in environments filled with other sentients - can become overwhelming. Because of this, many who follow the path of the Seer choose to live lives of relative isolation, far from crowded towns and cities.

Seers acquire Discipline, Knowledge (Lore), Survival, and Vigilance as additional career skills. if this is the character's starting specialization, they may choose two of these skills and gain one free rank in each, without spending starting experience. Successful Seers must be able to maintain focus on daily life even as they also observe the Force. They must learn to recognize a broad range of subtle signs. They must also be prepared to dwell in a potentially hostile environment, apart from civilization, so that they can be spared from information overload.

Among Force-sensitive individuals, Seers are arguably the ones who feel the strongest sense of guidance from the Force. Dwelling within the Force at all times, they can recognize even minor ripples and follow them to their source to stop a small problem from turning into a major crisis. Similarly, they may recognize and event that occurs far away and advise those nearby to take action so they can be prepared well in advance of an upcoming crisis. Seers' abilities often give them insights into the future, guiding them to places and people who most need their wisdom and advice. This sometimes enables Seers to be in just the right place at the right time to take action that proves to be pivotal.

The challenge for many Seers is to know the best time to move into a civilized area. As their sensitivity can become muddled, they may miss a sign of great import. Consequently, some prefer to remain apart from society for as long as possible, depending on allies to carry their missives. Seldom, however, are others capable of communication a warning as effectively as the Seer who initially sensed the danger.

During the era of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order never embraced alchemy. Various spiritual orders that had worked in alchemy also allied with the dark side of the Force. The Sith, the Nightsisters of Dathomir, and the Frangawl Cult on Bardotta all used the dark side to power their weapons, talismans, and magicks. Whether or not the Jedi thought that alchemy led to the dark side of the Force has been lost to time. Perhaps the Order felt that giving life to the inanimate, pouring the Force into a dead object, replicated the act of giving life, of giving birth, or of playing god, and would cause the Jedi to become prideful.

With the rise of the Empire and the loss of the Jedi Order, now no one can warn a potential Alchemist away from practicing this lost art. This might be just as well. Just like any technology, it isn't the object but the user that makes it good or bad, light or dark, useful or destructive. In addition, the Force flows through everything, even inanimate objects. Rocks have a measure of the Force in them. How else could a Jedi move them? With that reasoning, nothing should prevent a Jedi from imbuing a machine with the Force, save the Jedi's own fears, hatred, and obsessions.

To hear of a Magus, even during the time of the Galactic Republic, would be a rare event; to meet one, even more so. The Jedi Order, in its waning days, had become quite conservative regarding explorations into the Force. The Jedi either avoided or outright fought the myriad of sects and cults exhibiting mystical powers throughout the galaxy. The Force, they reasoned, was all they needed. Other teachings and experiments deviated too much from the clear path of the Jedi and thus danced too close to illusion and self-deception, leading to temptations toward the dark side of the Force.

Paradoxically, a Force user may be more likely to become a Magus during the Galactic Civil War. With hope and the light in short supply, some disciples may be more open and willing to seek out so-called forbidden knowledge. A Magus develops and collects a hodgepodge of strange rituals and odd practices to commune with the Cosmic Force. They have no training, but at the same time, they have no teachings that would convince them not to try. The danger, of course, comes from a lack of oversight. Without a guiding hand or proper self-reflection, a Magus has a greater chance to experiment with powers fueled by the dark side of the Force.

The Jedi Order's proselytizing ebbed and flowed, much as the Force did throughout the Old Republic. Understanding of the Force couldn't be pressured upon a student without causing resentment and anger, which pormises a fall toward the dark side. So for Prophts, they proselytized not to convert, but to offer a voice of hope and an opportunity to learn about the power of the Force.

Now, with the Jedi Order destroyed and the Galactic Republic shattered, Prophets carry a fervor not seen before in the history of the galaxy. To them, their knowledge of the light side of the Force reflects the struggle against the dark. If the Galactic Empire is the shadow blotting out the stars, then Prophets are single points of light, hoping to ignite a candle here and there to light up the sky.
