Force Rage
Type: Learned
Cost: 1 willpower
Speed: 6
Duration: Scene
Requirements: Alter 2, Enhancement 3
Description: The force user taps into his inner most darkness, unleashing his negative thoughts and emotions and letting them control and enhance his body and mind. This undeniably dark power is both rare and powerful but left the user weakened after use, light Jedi were at further risk as it was easy to become permanently lost in the rage and grip of the darkside.
The user activates the power by spending a willpower point to summon up his inner rage and let it overcome his body, that benefits apply immediately and it counts as a miscellaneous action. (Speed: 5, -1 DV) For the remainder of the scene the character adds his Alter attribute score to all his physical attributes, the bonus raises the attributes natural score and is not capped. The character gains a tolerance to pain while in the rage which allows him subtract one from wound penalties suffered. (Stacks with feat pain tolerance.)
The player also chooses a negative intimacy to devote himself too for the remainder of the scene, this should always focus on some sort of negative emotion and allows the character in rage to treat actions to stop or distract him as unacceptable orders. The character is also so completely consumed by rage that he is socially limited, subtract a -1 external penalty on all social actions excluding intimidation.
In the aftermath of the scene, once the effects of the rage wear off the characters body is physically drained this gives him a -1 internal penalty to all actions for 10 - stamina hours. (This works the same as and stacks with wound penalties.) The character also receives a darkside point for using the power. (Or however we decide that works.)
