Dim other's senses

[Chandra Mindarass]

Hmmm,

I've tried the usual suspects, but I can't find complete stats for Dim other's senses, can anybody help me out? I found out it was in the Tales of the Jedi sourcebook, but my traffic-o-meter for this month has gone beyond red. They charge me a cent/MB now.

Dim Other's Senses
Sense Difficulty: Easy. Modified by proximity
Alter Difficulty: Target's Control or Perception roll. The attribute and skills are reduced as long as the power is kept up
Effect: This power greatly reduces the Perception of the target character. If successful, reduce the character's Perception and all Perception skills, depending upon the result:

Alter > Control or
Perception Roll By Reduce Perception
0 - 5 -1 pips
6 - 10 -2 pips
11-15 -1D
16 - 20 -2D
21+ -3D

The Power may be used on more than one target at a time, with an increase of +3 to the sense difficulty for each additional target; the target with the highest control or Perception rolls for the entire group.

That is kinda strange. People just don't think of it. It's in at least a couple of the books, but it's always associated with a dark side usage, which might be the biggest reason you don't see it used too often. People don't wanna risk the DSP.

First off: Thanks darthomer09!!!

I wonder if a dark side power which dim other force skill exist. Because other jedi masters seem to not detect the force power of Palpatine and in a novel (I don't remember the title) a dark master is able to do it : apprentice must activate a light saber by telekinesis (no external activator). One of them always fail because the dark master dim his capability of using the Force.
Of course implementing this kind of power can unbalance the game...

Now that you mention it, Dim Other's Senses is probably one of the most useful Dark Side powers out there. If successful, one can slip by completely undetected. Of course droids and cameras can still see you, but those Sith have that cool machine-scrambling power whose name escapes me.

As far as Palpy / Sidious goes, a nice power like Hide Force Potential or a limited version of the Force Cloak would make a nice counter-balance to the Jedi sensing the presence of a Sith Lord across the table from them. One could even argue that Dim Other's Senses could be adapted in that fashion and then kept up.

Not as I understand it.

The only way I'd think it was possible (although HIGHLY unlikely) would be if said Jedi were well-versed in studies concerning this technique, was briefed on ALL the side-effects, and perhaps had even had this done to them so they knew what it felt like.

Even then, from all I understand about it, this power's effect kinda resembles the effects of being really tired; the more tired you are, the less you care. The less gumption you can muster, and the less likely you are to DESIRE to try.

If you can overcome all that, then more power to you.
