Effect
This power allows Jedi to absorb/dissipate energy, including light, heat, radiation, and blaster bolts. If the user fails the roll, he takes full damage from the energy. This power may be used to ward off sunburn, heat-stroke, and radiation exposure, as will as withstand intense heat. This power may also be used to absorb blaster bolts, as Darth Vader did on Cloud City.
The character must activate the power in the same round to absorb the blaster bolt or Force lightning -- the character must be able to roll the power before the attack lands. He can’t use this power after the attack has hit.
