Effect: The use of this power allows the user to take control of another person, turning him into a puppet who must obey the user's will. When used successfully, the user can control the actions of others, making them serve his will like automatons. The power may be kept up to allow the user to maintain control of his target's mind. The uiser must make a new roll if a new target is to be added.
Characters versed in the ways of the Force (with any Force skills) can actively resist by rolling Control or Perception. A character with an inherent affinity for the Force may resist by rolling Perception. The character may choose either the difficulty for the power use or his own roll. If the Jedi attempts to control more than one such Force-sensitive character at the same time, for all character beyond the first, add +1 for each die code of Perception or Control (as per "Combing Rules"). The user must make a new power roll whenever he attempts to take over a new target. Targets may be released without a roll.
Dominate cannot be used to control droids, synthtics, or computers.
Notes: This power requires a Bio-amp.
Jedi Complications: A Jedi may learn this power. A Jedi who uses this power gains a Dark Side point. Additionally, the Jedi gains an additional Dark Side point for every living creature killed by an individual they have Dominated.
Description: Disrupt the synaptic harmonics of an organic brain so it can't differentiate between friend and foe.
