Effect

Note: The difficulties of this power are significantly decreased for those who have fallen to the dark side. The use of this power allows a Jedi to take control of another person turning him into a puppet who must obey the Jedi’s will. When used successfully a Jedi can control the actions of others, making them serve his will like automations. The power may be kept up to allow the user to maintain control of his target’s mind – the Jedi must make a new roll if a new target is to be added. Characters versed in the ways of the Force (with any Force skills) can actively resist by rolling a control or Perception total. A character with an inherent affinity for the Force may resist by rolling a Perception total. The character may choose either the difficulty for the power use or his own roll. If the Jedi attempts to control more than one such Force-sensitive character at the same time, for all characters beyond the first, add +1 for each die code of Perception or control (as per “Combining Rules”). The Jedi must make a new power roll whenever he attempts to take over a new target. Targets may be released without a roll. Control mind cannot be used to control droids or computers.
