 |
|
Saw this in another thread, talk of Glitterstim a drug that grants jedi powers temporarily, and they thought that the rules for it were found in the Jedi Acadamy rulebook, but I searched it and could not find any mention of it. Does anyone know where the rules for Glitterstims are located?

| Quote: | Glitterstim Spice
Model: Kessel Glitterstim Spice
Type: Telepathic booster drug
Cost: 6,000-10,000 per dose
Availability: 4, X
Game Notes: Glitterstim is sealed into slim black cylinders.
To activate the spice, one pulls back the opaque outer
wrapper, exposing the inert glassy fibers of the spice to
the light. As the spice reacts to the light, scintillating and
glowing from within, it ripens. When the transparent fibers
glow a pearlescent blue, they are ready to consume. The
consumer takes the spice orally, which dissolves in his or
her mouth with a crackling and faint show of tiny sparks.
Characters imbibing glitterstim are considered Forcesensitive
for 10 rounds. During this time, they can read
the surface thoughts of a target person. This functions
like the Receptive Telepathy Force power, except that the
user is restricted to using his or her Perception to make
the difficulty roll. Those who already have the Force power
derive no benefit from using gitterstim.
Source: The Jedi Academy Trilogy Sourcebook (page 86),
Shadows of the Empire Planets Guide (page 40) |
Curtosy of Gry's equip book
but from reading that it would seem that it would not reduce, but enhance jedi powers...

The only way it would enhance a Jedi's powers is if they didn't have receptive telepathy.

Arguably it could enhance such an ability past their normal limits....

Someone over at the SW RPG Network put together a list of home-brew spice rules as well. I've got it compiled on my 4shared account:
