This one functions a lot like the Forager talent, but dialed to eleven. One of those is the 5XP Control on the left, just below and linked to the Basic power. Most of the Controls expand on the Basic Alter but some have other useful effects. Read the Fine Print (text) on these as nearly all of them have more details. This power is heavy on Control upgrades, with 7 out of a total of 11. With 2 Ranges in the tree, that’s a maximum of Long range for 1 Range activation.
Range can be activated multiple times and has the standard effect of extending the Range one band for each Range upgrade bought. Which, as usual, means “Not happening!” at Force Rating 1 (FR1), and probably not happening reliably until you hit FR3. Taking the first/earliest PC slot in two, or more, consecutive rounds is probably your best bet in a chase but will depend on the full initiative order and other factors.Īlter is one of those powers with the pricey Range upgrades of 2 Force pips per activation. If your party is being pursued, make it easier for your friends, more difficult for pursuers, or do both (in different rounds). It only works on soft, malleable terrain–mud, sand, vegetation, soil. Option A makes all Short range terrain Difficult and Option B makes it Normal terrain. Each option is single activation only and the wielder must be touching the ground they want to affect. The Basic Alter has two Short range effects, each costing 1 Force pip and lasting until the end of the wielder’s next turn. GMs might want to mix things up by giving a Nightsister or even an Inquisitor adversary Alter, for non-urban and non-space encounters. While presented in Unlimited Power, the Mystic book, Alter thematically fits several Seeker specializations–notably Hunter, Pathfinder, and Hermit. However, the FFG SWRPG’s Alter power is focused almost entirely upon altering the natural physical environment. Sense provided information, Control affected the self, and Alter affected others and/or things. In earlier SWRPGs, Alter was one of 3 main categories of Force abilities/talents/skills. It is primarily aimed at new players/GMs, and more experienced players playing a Force-sensitive character for the first time. “Force Wizard” is my series on the Force powers in Fantasy Flight Games’ Star Wars RPG lines.
