DUNGEON MASTER’S WORKSHOP | JEDI
Jedi are mystic warriors who harness a form of magical
energy known as the Force. Whether channelled to empower
their bodies in combat or to create overt magical effects, this
energy is the basis for all Jedi powers.

The Magic of the Force
The jedi are unparallelled masters of a special kind of
magical energy that flows through all living things. Through
meditation and willpower, jedi harness this power to create
magical effects which augment their physical abilities, direct
harmful energy at their foes, or manipulate the weak-minded.

Contemplative Warriors
Small, fortified compounds can be found across the world
where jedi train their abilities and meditate on the mysteries
of the Force. Almost all aspirants enter at a young age, when
they first become aware of their affinity for the special magic
that jedi wield, and they develop their abilities as they age.
Very rarely does a jedi become aware of their powers later in
life.

Many jedi sects treat the Force with a reverence normally
reserved for gods, or seek to protect it as with druids and
nature. For many jedi, balance is more important than good
or evil. The membership of such orders are invariably ascetic
and disinclined to concern themselves with the petty politics
of ephemeral nations, save where the consequences of
inaction would threaten the natural order.

By contrast, there are a few jedi orders that reject such
concepts as balance and neutrality, and instead believe hold
that the Force is a tool to deliver justice, or even vengeance.
Those that follow this philosophy are sometimes called sith,
and have a tragic history of falling into depravity.

Jedi usually become adventurers as part of their training to
ascend to full–fledged membership of their order, or because
they have been dispatched on an important mission. A jedi
who is sent to investigate dark omens or disturbances in the
Force has great latitude in the execution of their task, and
may spend years untangling various mysteries and threats
that arise from their original purpose.

Creating a Jedi
As you make your jedi character, think about the philosophy
you learned while studying the Force in your formative years.

Read Thoughts

You can spend 1 Force point to read a creature’s thoughts.
You can then use your access to the creature’s mind to
command it.

As an action, choose one creature that you can see within
60 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving

If the creature fails its save, you can read its surface
thoughts (those foremost in its mind, reflecting its current
emotions and what it is actively thinking about) when it is

During that time, you can use your action to end this effect
and cast the suggestion spell on the creature. The target
automatically fails its saving throw against the spell.

Sabre Throw

As an action on your turn, you can spend 1 Force point to
throw your Lightsabre as though it had the thrown property
with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.
Immediately after your ranged attack is resolved, the weapon
flies back to your hand.

Telekinesis

As an action, you can move or manipulate objects
by thought, as though you had cast telekinesis.
The maximum weight of the object cannot
exceed 5 pounds.

The total weight you can move or
manipulate increases to 5 pounds per
level when you reach 5th

15 pounds per level when you
reach 15th level, and 20 pounds
per level when you reach 20th level.

Twin Blades

When you use a bonus action to
manifest a Lightsabre, you can create a
second one in a second empty hand. This
second Lightsabre functions as a short sword,
but it deals radiant damage and is weightless.
