Detecting disturbances in the force

[Savar]

I see some people think Sense would be harder to notice.

Some pure Sense powers seem internal some seem external.


I say Control would be harder.

Most pure Control powers I see as internal.


At least everyone seems to agree that Alter would be the easiest.

[CRMcNeill]

Sense has a much greater passive aspect to it, where the character is simply “listening”, receiving information from the Force, whereas Alter is actively calling on and manipulating the Force, thus creating a larger disturbance. Control is essentially Sense and Alter focused internally, so that while it has a more active component than Sense, it has a much narrower, constrained focus.

Disturbance in the force.

Game master can call a Sense check just like a Perception check.

This lets you know the arc of the effect. You must use other methods to determine the target.

Difficulty: Roll made for Force effect
Very easy: 31+
Easy: 21-30
Moderate: 16-20
Difficult: 11-15
Very Difficult: 6-10
Heroic: 1-5

Modified by range.
-15 difficulty if the roll was Alter

The force user can try to cover force use with rolling a Control roll (causing a MAP) with 1 third of the result as a penalty to the Sensor.

Some sites strong in the Force can mask Force use.
