TRAINING

Your job as a trainer is to welcome the new Jedi to the Order, and give them the necessary prerequisites to succeed.
The best way to tie this information together in their mind is to focus on how
what they learn here will be applied to them ranking up.

Stay responsive, active, and engaged through the training, and always make sure they don’t have any questions.

S E C T I O N   I :

THE FUNDAMENTALS

Firstly, begin with the in-character fundamentals. Explain how each in-character thing they learn or achieve helps them rank up and level up. 

1. THE JEDI

• Show the ranking list to the student, explain that they are currently a Youngling, they will become an Initiate at the end of training, and their goal from there is to find a master to become a Padawan. 

• The primary goal from there is to train under their master to become a Knight, which is the beginning of their path of light.

• The rest of these fundamentals should all be tied to undergoing their Knight trials, and the Masters trials later.

• Explain how the softcap system makes it easier for you to level up by ranking up rather than just grinding.

2. THE TRIAL PREREQUISITES

• The Initiate must meet all of these prerequisites to even attend a trial:

  • Must have a master.

  • Must have at least 24 hours playtime.

3. THE JEDI CODE

• The Initiate will need to know the Sith code and be able to defend their interpretation of it to a Councillor.

4. THE 7 FORMS OF LIGHTSABER COMBAT

• The Initiate will need to have an understanding of each form for the trials.

• Explain how each of these forms are attainable through the stats system, which will be covered later.

• The Initiate will likely need to be in one of these organizations for the trials.
