Jedi Consular (playable class)

**Jedi Consular** is one of the four Galactic Republic playable classes./.

#### Ambassador, seeker of jedi wisdom and visionary

For more than 20,000 years, the Jedi Order has worked to promote peace and balance in the Galactic Republic, but each new day brings with it a new threat, promising to rip the jedi and the entire galaxy apart. If the republic is to survive, it needs leaders and visionaries; it needs the Jedi Consular.

Jedi Consulars channel the power of the force for strength in combat and wisdom in diplomacy. Years of arduous training and meditation have sharpened the Jedi Consulars's minds to cut to the truth as cleanly as their lightsabers cut through their foes; whether unlocking long forgotten mysteries of the jedi, raising armies to fight for the republic or engaging in mortal combat with Dark Lords of the Sith, the jedi consulars's deep attunement to the force gives them all the power they need to rise to the occasion with poise and balance.

Intimate atonement with the deepest force mysteries gives the Jedi Consulars the insight and empathy to deftly handle charged conflicts that confound even the most cunning Senators and governors - but the jedi consulars know; when it's time to talk and when it's time to fight; when negotiations turn aggressive, the jedi consulars demonstrate their gifts of foresight - anticipating and deflecting enemy attacks with fluid strikes from their lightsaber.

#### Facing the Darkness Within

Jedi Consulars always seek to grow their knowledge of the galaxy, in understanding of themselves, and in comprehension of the force that; binds it all together. The commitment to this pursuit gives Consulars an unrivaled capacity for clarity in situations otherwise shrouded in darkness. But this same dedication can also; prove to be extremely perilous - inviting the Jedi Consulars to explore paths that are better left untraveled. Some of the Jedi Order's greatest minds have been seduced to the dark side through purely academic inquiries. The Jedi Consulars knows the pain of this temptation as a battle-hardened warrior knows the throbbing of an old wound.

Before the Jedi Consulars can dispel the darkness in the galaxy, they know that; they must first come to terms with the darkness within. There's no avoiding the temptation to take shortcuts or even to use their knowledge for personal power; the Jedi Consulars must constantly check their own motives.

When tempted to step onto the path leading to darkness, the Jedi Consulars must remember the tormented fate of the jedi; who have passed that way before. This is the only way they can unite the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic, and rally the troops to rescue the galaxy from the menacing darkness.

#### Field reconnaissance

In a more peaceful age, the Jedi Consulars may have humbly dedicated their lives to service as keepers of jedi lore or as ambassadors in service to the Galactic Republic - tasks for which the jedi consulars are uniquely qualified.

But as the shadow of the Sith Empire has spread further across the galaxy, Jedi Consulars have stepped up to face the darkness on the front lines of battle as often as they've faced it when exploring the mysteries of the force.

#### Outfitting

Preferring to stay as nimble on the battlefield as they are in negotiations, Jedi Consulars avoid the heavy battle armor worn by many Jedi Knights, Dense polymers and Cortosis armors would weigh them down; light cloaks and ornamented robes suit their strengths better, and the efforts they most often find themselves engaged in.

No matter where they go, but the Jedi Consulars are never; without a lightsaber that; marks their initiation into the Jedi Order.

#### Combat tactics

A Jedi Consular's powers go far beyond meditation and mediation, and nothing illustrates this as vividly as their graceful movements in battle; whether beset by an army of assassin droids or caught in the middle of soured negotiations, a jedi consular fights with an open conduit for the force; manipulating massive forces to disable or even destroy their enemies.

The dual-bladed lightsaber preferred by many Jedi Consulars requires a skilled approach to dueling. Wielding this weapon, the jedi consulars will draw upon the force to sense their opponents's locations and strike them all down with precision.

A Jedi Consular doesn't just detect disturbances in the force - sometimes they create them. This powerful ability; allows the jedi consulars to project a wall of pure force energy into their opponents. A Jedi Consular has a preternatural understanding of how the force connects all things, and they draw on this knowledge to toss enemies of all sizes into the air, before hurling them to the ground.

## Powers and Abilities

* *See Jedi Consular powers and abilities*.

The Jedi Consulars are very powerful in the force. Focusing on telekinesis, they channel the force for power and wisdom. They can also specialize in lightsaber combat as a Jedi Shadow.

The resource bar for a Jedi Consular is force. A Jedi Consular starts with 100 force, but this does not increase as a jedi consular's level increases; but some powers that; a jedi consular can learn will increase the amount of force or the regeneration rate.

## Jedi Consular tactics

Jedi Consulars are outstanding warriors, trained to use single or double-bladed lightsabers; depending on their advanced class. They not only have offensive capabilities, but defensive abilities as well. These options; allow a Jedi Consular to be a utility class or to fill a main role in a party; including DPS, crowd control, healing and even tanking.

Jedi Consulars fight with amazing serenity. In contrast to Jedi Knights; who draw on the force mainly to enhance their lightsaber strikes, jedi consulars frequently use the force directly in combat. They can use Force energy to blast their opponents away from them or to slowly drain an opponent's health, to heal themselves and allies or to shield themselves from damage. Jedi Consulars also use the terrain to a huge advantage, often using telekinetic powers to throw rocks and other objects at their foe, causing large amounts of damage.
