Cypher System Rulebook: Let's make a Jedi! (TM)

Cypher System Rulebook

So one of my purchases this past weekend at Gencon was the 'Cypher System' rulebook from Monte Cook Games.

If you are familiar with Numenera, or The Strange then you already know the system, this book aims to allow you to use the rules for most any genre game.

Cypher system has four main 'types' for PCs:

Warrior: From knights to Space Marines.
Adept: Mages, psions etc.
Explorer: Skills focused.
Speaker: BS artists.

Additionally there are five 'flavors' one case mingle into each type:
Stealth: Add to Warrior to make Solid Snake.
Technology: Technowizard?
Magic: Con artist with some spells.
Combat: Gun toting xeno-biologist.
Skills and Technology: Space Marines need to be able to fix their power armor yes?

So with this in mind, I wanted to take a swipe at creating a Jedi type. In this case I am starting with and Adept, and giving it Combat flavor. (I am also only noting the substitutions)

Sith/Jedi Type for Cypher System

First-Tier

Danger Sense  - Replaces Sculpt Flesh

Practiced with Light and Medium Weapons - Replaces Practiced with Light Weapons

Second-Tier

Thrust - Replaces Flash

Trained Without Armor - Replaces Reveal

Third-Tier

Skill With Attacks - Replaces Adroit Cypher Use

Skill With Defense - Replaces Targeting Eye

Fourth-Tier

Daring Escape - Replaces Exile

Fifth-Tier

Hard target - Replaces Teleportation

Parry - Replaces Master Cypher Use

Sixth-Tier

Greater Skill with Attacks - Replaces Usurp Cypher

Greater Skill with Defense - Replaces Traverse Worlds

So how do we deal with the eternal struggle between the Dark and the Light side? The temptation of power for its own sake?

Well for now I am going to just say pick either Jedi or Sith, and modify your descriptor as follows.

Jedi

Inability for Offensive Force Powers

Trained Defensive Force Powers

Sith

Inability for Defensive Force Powers

Trained for Offensive Force Powers

Equipment:

1x Lightsaber (Exorbitant cost, Heavy weapon that wields as a medium, asset for speed defense, uses speed pool )

1x Robes

Later I will attempt to make an actual character.
