Hiding from the Force

[CRMcNeill]

In the past, I've posted some ideas about how a non-FS character might use a meditative state to conceal themselves from the Force, despite having no ability to use the Force (specifically, here, here and here, plus an earlier version here).

I've generally gone with the rather mystical-sounding title Mindshadow to represent the effect, but I'm thinking something more succinct like Obscure might be a better choice for an update.

(A) Obscuration
Prerequisites: Willpower 6D
Time to Use: 1 round
Effect: The character may roll this skill when attempting to avoid detection by Life Detection, Life Sense, Danger Sense, Combat Sense, Farseeing or any other Sense-based powers. He rolls once per round, then adds the total to the Jedi's Difficulty roll to bring up the power in question. The skill user must re-roll every round, and the roll is subject to MAPs as normal.
Description: While strong-willed characters can resist mental powers such as Receptive Telepathy or Affect Mind through force of will alone, they can not hide from the precognition and other sensory abilities of the Jedi (Life Detection, Danger Sense, etc.), simply because no amount of willpower can hide someone from the Force itself. However, there are mental techniques that can be used to partially conceal one's connection to the Force, and thus hide the user from the senses of a Force user. This ability is very challenging to master, and requires entering a near-meditative mental state that the user must continually work to maintain.
