Lightning Burst

Lightning Burst
Control Difficulty: Moderate
Alter Difficulty: Targets’ control or Perception rolls
Required Powers: Force lightning
Warning: A Jedi who uses this power for any reason immediately gains a Dark Side Point.
Effect: This power, like Force lightning is a corruption of the Force, intended to create searing pain and injury to any character that happens to be adjacent to the Jedi. As the Jedi unleashes her hate and anger in the form of pure electrical energy, all characters within one meter of the Jedi are jolted with serious pain. Armor does not protect a character from lightning burst, though it can be repelled with absorb/dissipate energy.
Unlike Force lightning, lightning burst requires only one roll to strike every target within one meter, though it does a standard damage of 4D to every character that does not successfully resist the roll.
