One of my players wants a power similar to absorb/dissipate from the old weg d6 system. I know there is surpress for force powers off the top of my head, but I can't recall if there is another power that kind of comes close. Any suggestions?

The Protect portion of Protect/Unleash provides damage reduction against energy weapons. I think that is roughly what absorb/dissipate did?

Closest currently is the Protect part of Protect/Unleash, which simply lets you negate damage from energy attacks provided you've set it up in advance. It does require Force Rating 3, putting it out of the reach of most PCs until they've put at least a few hundred XP under their belt.

Thanks, I had completely forgotten the protect part of that power. Looks like the next campaign is going to be very force heavy, so should be fun.
