Dark Side Devotee

Your powerful negative emotions allow the dark side to flow through you, giving you great power.
      This talent tree is only available to Force Adepts.

### Channel Aggression

      *Saga Edition Core Rules*, page 213.
If you succeed on an attack against a flanked opponent or any target that is denied its Dexterity bonus to Reflex Defense, you may spend a Force Point as a free action to deal additional damage to the target equal to 1d6 per class level (maximum 10d6).

### Channel Anger

      *Saga Edition Core Rules*, page 213.
You let your anger swell into a rage. As a swift action, you may spend a Force Point to gain a +2 rage bonus on melee attack rolls and melee damage rolls for a number of rounds equal to 5 +your Constitution modifier. At the end of this duration, you move −1 step along the condition track.
      While raging, you cannot use skills that require patience and concentration, such as Mechanics, Stealth, or Use the Force.
      **Prerequisite:** Channel Aggression.

### Crippling Strike

      *Saga Edition Core Rules*, page 213.
Whenever you score a critical hit, you may spend a Force Point to also reduce the target’s speed by half until he is fully healed (that is, restored to maximum hit points).
      **Prerequisite:** Channel Aggression.

### Dark Side Talisman

      *Jedi Academy Training Manual*, page 17.
You can spend a Force Point to imbue a weapon or some other portable object with the dark side of the Force, creating a talisman that grants you protection from the light side. Creating the dark side talisman takes a full-round action. While you wear or carry the tlisman, you gain a +2 Force bonus to one of your defenses (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will) against Force powers with the [light side] descriptor. You can have only one dark side talisman active at a given time (though you can have both a dark side talisman and a Force talisman active at the same time), and if your dark side talisman is destroyed, you cannot create another one for 24 hours.

### Embrace the Dark Side

      *Saga Edition Core Rules*, page 213.
Whenever you use a force power with the [dark side] descriptor, you may reroll your Use the Force check, but you must accept the result of the reroll even if it is worse.
      Upon chosing this talent, you can no longer use Force powers with the [light side] descriptor.
      **Prerequisites:** Channel Aggression, Channel Anger.

### Greater Dark Side Talisman

      *Jedi Academy Training Manual*, page 17.
As Dark Side Talisman, except that the talisman’s Force bonus extends to all three of your defenses (Fortitude, Reflex, and Will).
      **Prerequisite:** Dark Side Talisman.
