This class informs the Padawan on how to utilize the Force for a multitude of different practical practices.

To start the class off you would first teach the Padawans something about the Force, you could use the information on this page to do this. You must make sure that the information is part of your class because they need to learn what the Force is before they practice using it. After you’ve informed them about what the Force is when you can start to practice roleplaying with it.

Start off by explaining to them that all roleplay-related activities will be conducted via /rp. Inform them to be flexible with your roleplay, and to not simply copy another.

The Force is an energy field that connects everything in the universe and is known by a variety of names throughout galactic history. The Force was created by life, and therefore, resides in all lifeforms. It is especially powerful in a select group of individuals who were born with a high concentration of midi-chlorians. These people were deemed Force-sensitive and were capable of consciously sensing the Force. With this conscious sense of the Force came the ability to harness it, accessing various Force powers. In this class, you will teach the younglings how to use these powers.

The Force gives the Jedi and others sensitives control of certain energy psychic abilities, such as telekinesis, mind control, the ability to sedate or induce sleep, and the power to see the future. In addition, Force-sensitives possess quick reflexes due to their inherent ability to see things before they happen. This gave them the ability to deflect bolts with their sabers. Their physical vitality, strength, mobility, and resilience could also be augmented by the Force, allowing them to crush objects with their bare hands, jump across great distances, or survive injuries that would cripple and kill normal beings.

The Force can calm certain creatures by projecting certain emotions to an entity and creating a sense of peace, thus calming the creature down. This ability is heavily reliant on the Gamemasters as it will require the cooperation of both GM and/or EC and the player for this to work.

To roleplay this is very simple, have the Younglings select their meditation power. This will look like you are focusing the force on a specific object/creature. You can begin with the /rp's now. The /rp command is a command used for doing roleplay actions. Use /rp to calm the creature down by focusing your force on it. Remember that the Gamemaster may add more steps onto your roleplay or can be done with a single /rp, it is up to the Gamemaster. You’re free to think of more ways to calm the creature with the force. Only /roll if a Gamemaster tells you to.

Here is an example scenario that you may use to have your Younglings practice this ability on “You hear a screech coming from a cave nearby, as you inspect the location of the screech you see a creature protecting her babies who have fallen ill or have been injured, the creature notices you and begins to become aggressive against you.”

One of the most common roleplay in Jedi events, the act of cleansing an item/object from the dark side or any other presence, the object can either be a Holocron, a crystal, or any other object.

How to roleplay this is very simple, using a meditate gesture to show focus onto an object, in this case a Holocron, this is where you start to communicate with the Gamemaster, you can start off with connecting to the Holocron, once the Gamemaster responds, you can proceed on with imbuing the object with the light side of the force in order to overpower the darkness within the Holocron, there may be more or fewer steps involved but that is up to the Gamemaster and your ability to roleplay

Example: “While on a mission with your Master to investigate a planet’s wildlife suddenly changing behavior, you both find a Holocron imbued with the dark side of the force. The wildlife then began to attack you and your master, with your Master being busy defending you and himself against the wildlife, your Master orders you to cleanse the Holocron as he believes this is the cause of the wildlife sudden change in behavior “

This is a simplified version of Force Cleansing, if you wish to go more in-depth then you may use the class Force Cleansing.

Force healing is a combination of both your physical and force skill. As Younglings, you have the basic ability of healing, such as closing flesh wounds, cuts, and bleeding.

To roleplay Force Healing, you first start off with an inspection, you can’t heal when you don’t know what you're healing. Once you have identified the damage, you may start the healing process, whether it's stopping bleeding, closing open wounds and cuts, etc. Use meditate or absorb to show you are focusing on the injured part, this is where you will start your /rp’s, once you are done with Force healing patch it up with a bandage or cloth.

N O T E S

Example: “You find a baby creature inside a cave, you hear its cries as if it is injured, you feel with each cry the pain that the creature is feeling, as well you feel its need for help”

This is the simplified version of Force Healing, if you wish to go more in-depth then you may use the class Force Healing.
