Jedi Sentinel Force Powers

Jedi Sentinel Force Powers
The Jedi that follow the path of the sentinel are the true enemies of the dark side, hunting down evil and stopping the spread of darkness wherever they go. You are a master of subtlety and difficult to tempt with the dark side, even when constantly confronted with its power.

Clear Mind
Control Difficulty: Easy if the Force adept relaxed and at peace; Difficult if the Force adept is filled with aggression, fear or other negative emotions; Very Difficult if the Force adept is acting on those negative emotions.
Effect: You clear your mind and attempt to avoid being detected by other Force-users, +4D modifier to opposed Force skill checks to detect the Force adept.

Sense Force (REUP p.161)
Note: Jedi following the path of the sentinel become exceptionally talented at rooting out evil. They are able to sense the presence and relative location of characters, receiving a +1 modifier for every Dark Side Point they have.

Dark Side Scourge
Alter Difficulty: Opposed by target's alter
Prerequisite: Sense Force
This power may be "kept up."
Effect: Against creatures with Dark Side Points, you deal +1 extra damage on melee attacks equal to your D in Perception.
Sources: Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game Saga Edition (p.40), D6 mechanics by +Oliver Queen

Force Haze
Control Difficulty: Moderate modified by proximity
Sense Difficulty: Opposed by targets Control or Perception, -3 for each additional target
Alter Difficulty: Difficult, +3 for each additional ally
Required Powers: Affect mind, clear mind
This power may be kept "up".
Effect: You can create a "Haze" that hides you and your allies from the perception of others. You can hide a number of creatures in line of sight equal to the D you have in Alter. Any opponent that moves into line of sight of anyone hidden by Force Haze, makes a opposed search check versus the Force adepts alter check. If successful, all hidden creatures are treated as if in full cover (cannot be seen). Force Haze is dismissed instantly if anyone hidden by the Force Haze makes an attack or moves at Cruising or faster.

Sense Primal Force

Putting aside the Force Haze and Elusive Target, I've always thought of the talents listed in the Jedi Consular, Guardians, and Sentinel trees as results of specific training regimens or ways of thinking, not Force powers unto themselves with some exceptions.

Wouldn't Sense Primal Force be the same as Nature Affinity? And Clear Mind the same as Force stealth?

Dark Side Scourge: The Saga Edition defines melee combat and melee weapons slightly differently than D6. The power says “melee” though it should probably say “melee and lightsaber” because in SAGA the lightsaber was used for melee attacks, which is not as implicit in D6 given that we have a skill “Melee weapons” and a separate “lightsaber” skill.

Also, the multiple action penalties really reduces the effectiveness of this power. Since someone would have to have 3D-4D to come out as a wash on average, I would suggest making the bonus +2 for every 1D in Perception.

Sentinel’s observation: This is one that we skipped early on in the process because of how small the bonus us. With a +2 it kind of neuters the effect when you take MAPs into consideration. This power would still be a gamble at +5, but at least good odds. You’d be trading a value of 1-6 for a known +5.

Question about Force Haze. You have it here as a Control, Sense, and Alter power. But in the notes you sent me, it was a Sense and Alter power. So which version is correct?
