Hello, I'm helping a buddy of mine co-gm a combined campaign and I'm trying to simulate a dark sider (non-Sith) that uses Terror and manipulation of health to produce disease and life leeching effects for primary attacks. Any suggestions where to start? I'm just starting to look at F&D and am trying to play catch up quickly
The concept is a darksider who found a holocron left behind by some of the Dread Masters from SWTOR.
Harm (which is paired with Heal). Upgrades covers the old "Force Drain" power; other upgrades allow you to use Medicine and Knowledge (Xenology) with it as well.
Force lightning is Unleash, but it's significantly more expensive.
Unleash as an fyi doesn't have to be Force Lightening. You can narrate it to be whatever form of projected damage you want it to be. If I ever get a darksideish PC up to FR 3 I'm using Unleash as a Ice based attack.
Terror would kinda sorta fall in between using either Influence (to make people out right feel fear) combined with some Misdirect (to create terrifying illusions).
Disease based stuff is covered by Harm as Blackbird mentions.
Edited by KaelIf you want your character to drain life force from someone else, it would be the Heal/Harm power.
