Poss new "Sith power". Force Sink

[garhkal]

This nasty and parasitical force power used back in the hey day of the sith empire, allows a Sith to slowly strip the force potential of a jedi (or other force user), like as if he was a energy sink. He first must make contact (CSA) with them, then each round he and the 'target' contest wills. If the Sith succeeds in that contest, he strips off some of the targets force power. Should the Target win 3 straight contests, the contact the sith had with him is lost.
IF the target is ever wounded while contact is maintained by the sith, he instantly loses that round of contesting wills, but if the Sith gets wounded while it is in effect, the power drops. If the wound level is mortal, he actually kicks out some of the stolen power back to the target jedi.

Initiating contact
Cont - Difficult (modified by proximity and relationship)
Sense - Difficult (modified by proximity and relationship)
Alter - Very difficult (modified by Proximity and relationship
1FP must be spent.

Contest of wills.
The Sith rolls his alter, while the target rolls his Control.
Target = or above sith's total, he wins that round.
Sith = 1-5 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from 1 force skill (highest first)
6-10 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from the 2 highest force skills
11-15 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from all 3 force powers.
16-20 over target. Jedi loses 2 pips from all 3 force Skills
21-26 over target. Jedi loses 1d from all 3 force skills
27+ same as 21-26, but jedi also loses a force point.

If at any time in the contest of wills, the Sith rolls a 1' on the wild die for his Alter roll, he imediately bleeds back 1d of stolen force potential to the target jedi. If he rolls all 1's on the alter roll, All of the stolen power bleeds back.

Once contact is lost, or the Sith maintaining it dies, the Jedi regains his 'stolen power' at the rate of 1 pip a day per force skill (in any order he desires).


Thoughts?

Does the Sith gain what the target loses?

I view it more as him stripping the power from you.. not absorbing it into himself.. BUT i could see a temp gain for the sith using this.

Very nasty. It almost sounds like the various Level Drain monster attacks in D&D. I'd use this as is, but certainly not often.

In fact, I recall mention somewhere that Force Lightning had a power draining effect on its victims. This might be something interesting to work into that.

At first glance, I like it. It's insidious

[Rerun941]

Doesn't the Derriphan have a similar power? Basically something about feeding off the Force to sustain itself?

That might be a good comparison to what you're proposing.

More like +1 pip for every D drained and it lasts for half the number of rounds that the contact was maintained for. That way there is a real incentive for the Sith to attempt to maintain the contact for as long as possible and risk that one on the wild dice.

OK.. First re-write.

This nasty and parasitical force power used back in the hey day of the sith empire, allows a Sith to slowly strip the force potential of a jedi (or other force user), like as if he was a energy sink.

Initiating contact
Cont - Difficult (modified by proximity and relationship)
Sense - Difficult (modified by proximity and relationship)
Alter - Very difficult (modified by Proximity and relationship
1FP must be spent.

Contest of wills.
The Sith rolls his alter, while the target rolls his Control.
Target = or above sith's total, he wins that round.
Sith = 1-5 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from 1 force skill (highest first)
6-10 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from the 2 highest force skills
11-15 over target. Target jedi loses 1 pip from all 3 force powers.
16-20 over target. Jedi loses 2 pips from all 3 force Skills
21-26 over target. Jedi loses 1d from all 3 force skills
27+ same as 21-26, but jedi also loses a force point.

The sith who is using this power gains 1pip to allocate as he see fit for every D stolen, and the bonus pip(s) stay for 1 round per 2 that contact was maintained with the target.

If at any time in the contest of wills, the Sith rolls a 1' on the wild die for his Alter roll, he imediately bleeds back 1d of stolen force potential to the target jedi. If he rolls all 1's on the alter roll, All of the stolen power bleeds back.

Once contact is lost, or the Sith maintaining it dies, the Jedi regains his 'stolen power' at the rate of 1 pip a day per force skill (in any order he desires).

Looks good, garhkal.

Takes a bow.
