Form VIII: Sokan

Sokan is a lightsaber style that concentrates on mobility and evasion, not unlike Ataru. It uses quick maneuvers and tumbles as well as fast lightsaber strikes to vital areas of an opponent. Sokan’s basic philosophy is “not to be where the enemy strikes” - as a result Sokan users gain +1D to dodge rolls when using Sokan in combat. However Sokan needs much room to be used. If the Sokan performer is within confined spaces or cannot move due to wounds or similar restraints he receives a –1D penalty for any roll with that art.

Requirements: Dexterity 3D, Dodge 5D, Acrobatics 4D

Action	Difficulty	Effect
Roll Attack	+10	The Jedi has to make a successful dodge roll against an enemy attack ( without the penalty for an additional action ). By that the Jedi makes a forward roll. He then thrusts his own blade into the enemy, adding a +1D modifier to the damage.
Spin Jump	+5	The Jedi jumps up and rolls either left or right and lands at either side of the opponent. That gives him an advantageous position for an attack. If the next action ( can be a in the next round ) is an attack of the Jedi he receives a +1D modifier to the attack roll.
