| Kerubiel
No "standard" set of force powers like formally trained users, has patiently practiced some techniques from Holocrons under guidance of similarly limited instructors. He does not understand how the powers work or attempt to, as a Sith Cultist he dismisses it as Magic of the Dark Side.
Slight Precognition makes him appear ungodly fast in combat as he can forsee most warriors blows.
Force Terror - Able to spread terror to those within his line of sight at will. This is why no man can stand against Kerubiel in combat, the sheer horror he evokes in all but the most hardened warriors.
Force Body - He's always been able to sense and move better than most others.
Ability to summon a spear of midnight black learned from their Sith Records for use in combat.
Mind Shard- Not one he uses in combat but he has the ability to torture the mind of another by driving them insane by chipping shards off their psyche.
Master Ka'Dek
Already has all standard powers but has the Rainbow Storm to impress locals and please children.
Various animal and plant affinities thanks to his close relationship with nature.
Some advanced Technical and Combat Skills from spending four decades as a Sentinel.
1. Rainbow Storm
2. Animal Friendship
3. Metamorphasis into one animal.
4. [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_storm_(weather)]Force (Atmospheric) Storm[/url]
5. Technometry - A skill gained through years as a Sentinel
6. Plant Surge (needs to have plants around)
7. Allows him to converse fluently with Mandalorians
8. Tutaminis
9. Electric Judgement - Learned during his technical operations on Sullust as Watchman.
10. Art of the Small Gained this power learning to modify microcircuits without tools while conducting clandestine ops.
Knight Kerethon - Seeking to Specialize as a Sage and having gained an obsessive variety of powers during over 100 years of Jedi training.
Telekinetic Attacks
1. Alter Environment (not to a huge widespread degree)
2. Force Pulse
2.a. Force Eruption A more powerful variant of Force Pulse.
3.b. The most powerful Telekinesis technique for destruction in combat. Not really a combat skill.

| Some of these are good. Some are silly (technically speaking). However, I shall address them by character:
Kerubiel:
Force Terror- Approve, with the knowledge that certain characters may be more immune to it than others.
Force Body- Approve, with the caveat that a 'very powerful connection to the force was required for this abilities use.' I don't see Kerubiel, basically untrained and lacking knowledge, as having the ability to utilize this. However, I'll allow it on the condition that it's a 'one-shot' item, and that after its use, Kerubiel is either permanently paralyzed or otherwise comatose. This stems from the comment of 'push their body's endurance past a safe limit, ignoring and possibly sacrificing their health and well-being, in order to sustain their connection to the Force.'
Darkshear/Spear of Midnight Black- Deny. Yes, it says in the novel that Kyle Katarn used it to kill Boc (possibly). When it comes to book vs. game canon, I personally tend to go with whichever came out first, which would be the game, and the finishing of Boc was done with a lightsaber. I digress, though. Darkshear seems like a very, very powerful darkside technique, and short of learning it from a Sith directly, I don't see Kerubiel having access to it.
-----
Ka-Dek:
Rainbow Storm- It seems silly to me, but I think that was what you intended and had said when we spoke. Approve.
Animal Friendship- Useful skill and one I use on one of my own characters. Approve.
Metamorphosis- Deny. Firstly because this is either dangerously close to or equivalent to shape shifting, and we've had a practice of now allowing shapeshifting races into the roleplay. Secondly, it seems to require talismans to change shape (or be part of 'The Ones' whose power apparently exceeds Tyber Zann's, or he was a grandson of theirs without the Force powers), and I don't see them being a commonly thrown about item.
Force Storm (Weather)- Pending. I don't see this being widely appreciated by the Jedi Council, or really even taught to Jedi necessarily because 'While not inherently a dark side ability, it was most commonly used by darksiders; such as the Nightsisters of Dathomir; due to the power's wide-ranging and indiscriminately destructive nature.' As such, I will wait for Jace's weigh-in, but I'm leaning against this one. If it is approved and Ka-Dek utilizes it, I'd like him to see him have some sort of reprimand or some such from the Jedi for using darker powers.
Technometry- Approve, though usage on a case by case basis. I can't see him affecting and controlling a droid tank, or an entire computer network. Granted, there is an instance of a Jedi controlling and firing multiple assault proton torpedoes and guiding them through the Force to strike other ships, but there was a major price that was paid for it. I think she lost her connection to the Force or it was greatly lessened. I will have to check.
Plant Surge- Approve
Beast Language- Approve, but this is not the skill to speak to Mandalorians, so I deny that part of it. However, he can communicate with beasts.
Tutamnis- I'm willing to approve with a few caveats.
- 'Mastery in self-protection would include the capability to encase oneself in an energy field that could drain energy from incoming attacks. This ability would make the bearer invulnerable to a wide range of attacks until the user discontinued its use, or it wore off when the user became fatigued.' That's a no-go.
- I'll go with bare-hand blaster deflection. That's allowed.
- I don't see anything larger than a blaster rifle bolt being able to be absorbed. For example, if he gets shot at with a cannon or something, that's probably going to kill him if he tries this.
- I'm not going to okay the dissipation or catching of lightsaber blades with the bare hand.
Electric Judgement- Deny. It's a fine idea, but depending on Jace's call, I'm treating this as I would with the lightsaber form of Vaapad: it doesn't exist yet.
Art of the Small- Pending. Depending on limitations and usage, this could either be equivalent to a 'cloaking device' or as 'shapeshifting.' I will have to confer with Jace.
-----
Kerethon:
Alter Environment- I like it, and I'm willing to Approve, provided that due to the concentration required (and that this can be made into a pretty massive effect), Kerethon is unable to move or otherwise defend himself due to the concentration required to hold this.
Force Pulse- Simple and I Approve
Force Eruption- There isn't much information about this, except it is 'wild' so I'll approve it as a less focused version of Force Pulse.
Force Bomb- Deny. That really seems like a one-hit kill sort of move.
Imbue Item- I like it. It's nifty. Approve, on the grounds that he can't do it more than once a month to prevent an overflow of anti-lightsaber items and overuse floating around.
Serenity (trance)- Deny, on the grounds that it explicitly states that such is attainable only by a Jedi Master, and Kerethon has only just finished the trials.
Force Meld- Approve, though keep in mind, 'a great disturbance in the Force could overwhelm the melding participants as they received the pain through their enhanced senses. If the pain was caused by the minds the melding participants were touching, it would bring devastating effects to the participants, sometimes to such a degree that the participants would lose control of their own minds and become ignorant to other threats.' Enough death or someone with the darkside could effectively blow this up in your face.
As a note on Kerethon, how did he manage to stay a Padawan for 100 years?

| Switch Electronic Judgement for "Ionize", pretty much the same power with users going back as far as Revan.

| Can I ask you to reconsider the Force (Atmospheric) Storm for Kadek? Its not a doom vortex, just think big thunder storm. I visualize it as a power used when he was a Watchman on Sulon and the rain level was bad to summon a rainstorm using the techniques pretty much employed by the less qualified agricultural corps?

I missed Mind Shard, somehow, but I approve with Jace's caveat on it.
I'll change my vote to deny Force Terror for Kerubiel as well. Jace didn't actually list a reason, but my reason for approval was more in line for its use on 'random NPC' type sort and named NPCs, though with little to no effect on actual characters. Still, I guess it's moot.
Force Body is still good, pending the acceptance of the caveat placed on it.
I'm not fond of Darkshear, but with Jace's caveats, I will approve.
Ka-Dek
Everything here still stands, minus the Force Storm. With Jace's vote, it's a denied.
I will also have to deny Tutamnis, at this point. After reading Ka-Dek's profile, I discerned: Quote Lightsaber Specialism(s): Kadek's own Style (based upon using a bladed weapon alongside a deflector shield on his wrist, Kadek is formidable in combat, despite few seeing him fight), Form III (Soresu) - Complete Master of this form, Also well versed in Form II (Makashi). Familiar with the other forms.
Form III (Soresu) is meant to be specifically against blaster and ranged enemies. I feel that the addition of Tutamnis would make Ka-Dek all but invulnerable to small arms. However, I'll wait for Jace's opinion on this as well.
With the rest of the caveats, I'll change my vote to match Jace's on Ka-Dek's other powers.
Kerethon
I will match Jace's vote on this one as well.
