Concentration

POWER_3_CONCENTRATION [#4282]: This power is used to clear all negative (for Jedi) or positive (for Dark Jedi) emotions from the user, to allow the force to flow through him freely. The Jedi concentrates on one specific task. This power can be used to focus and improve other skills in the Jedi's repertoir. For instance, if hit with an ALTER power, a Light Jedi (typically weaker in ALTER than a dark jedi) can use concentration to negate the affects of the ALTER power.|CONTROL

When using this power, the Jedi clears all negative thoughts from her mind (or postive, in the case of Dark Jedi), feeling the Force flowing through the universe and her own being.

The individual Jedi concentrates on one specific task at hand. If the skill roll is successful, the Jedi may add +4D to any one action in that round. The Jedi may do nothing other than using the concentration power and using that one skill for one action. The Jedi receives no bonus if anything else is done in that round, including duplicate uses of the same skill or dodges or parries.

This power may be used in conjunction with boosts. This power is only in effect for one round and may not be kept "up".

Control Difficulty
Easy if the Jedi is relaxed and at peace; Difficult if the Jedi is filled with aggression, fear or other negative emotions; Very Difficult if the Jedi is acting on those negative emotions. Vice versa for Dark Jedi/Sith.

Example
Luke is flying down the trench of the Death Star. With Ben's urging, he clears his mind of negative thoughts, and feels the Force flowing through him. Using the Force, he concentrates on the task of firing a proton torpedo into the unshielded exhaust port. Since he has cleared his mind, the control difficulty is Easy.

Luke's player declares that Luke is also spending a boost to accomplish the task this round. Luke's starship gunnery skill is 6D. He loses -1D for doing one other thing in the round (using the Force counts as an ection), reducing his starship gunnery skill to 5D. Because he rolls successfully for his control, he receives the bonus of +4D, making his effective skill for that round 9D. Because he is using a boost, his skill level is increased.

If Luke attempted any other action in that round, including firing another proton torpedo or blaster, or dodging enemy shots, he would receive no bonus.
