Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Force powers

Force power progression

Total Force powers main player characters can get by level 20 depend on their Jedi class and the level at which they become a Jedi:

There are 44 Force powers in total:
 * 14 Light Side powers
 * 16 Universal powers
 * 14 Dark Side powers

Prerequisites

Although Force powers are only available to Jedi classes, the level required to get later Force powers is character level, not Jedi level.

Some Force powers cannot be used while the Jedi is wearing armor:

Cost


 * The blue bar represents a character's connection to the Force, measured in Force points. Each Force power subtracts a Force point cost from the total when used. If the character does not have enough Force points left to cover the cost of a power, the power can't be used. Force points regenerate slowly out of combat.

Both Wisdom (WM) and Charisma (CM) modifiers affect Force Points per level, resulting in total Force points on the table above being adjusted by (WM + CM) * level. The main player character Jedi also gains 40 Force points from the Force Sensitive feat.

Force point costs of Universal powers are always the same, regardless of alignment:

Force point costs of Light Side and Dark Side powers adjust depending on the alignment of the user:

Light Side power costs increase the further to the Dark Side a character is (and vice versa):

Regeneration

Force points normally only regenerate when not engaged in combat. It takes 96 seconds to regenerate from empty to full, regardless of total Force points: for example, in 30 seconds a Jedi with 96 total Force points will regenerate 30, while a Jedi with 192 total Force points will regenerate 60 (double the amount due to double the total Force points).

Regenerate Force Points bonus allows regeneration both in and out of combat. However, any bonus only applies once every six seconds (every two combat rounds):

Maximum Regenerate Force Points: +6, or just +1 per second. Although when a lightsaber has two crystals applying bonuses only the highest is displayed in its Description window, according to the Messages - Feedback screen the bonuses from both crystals are actually added.

Unfortunately this bonus is least useful to those who could make most use of it: Jedi Consulars have high total Force points so they already regenerate a high number when not engaged in combat; when they are engaged in combat, regeneration is not fast enough to be particularly useful.
