House Jedi Classes

These rules were formulated as a result of discusison on the WotC message boards between Mælstrøm, Micah and Halfbat. Some specific amendments have been to them to support subsequent discussions and my own preferences (in BAB, for example, and Def).

Jedi (Padawan and Knight)

In theory, a Jedi should use the Force for knowledge and negotiation. He should be seeking peaceful solutions to a problem. Although Jedi are taught very spiritually, learning about the fine art of diplomacy and scholarly pursuits, the padawans still undergo a rigorous physical training, honing their physical prowess as well as their skills with the lightsaber. It is ultimately their decision whether they want to expand on their passive, scholarly side or rather go out and become formidable warriors. No one is forced to take on a role he doesn't want.

Healers and researchers seek to better understand the nature of the Force and their connection to it. Mentors and teachers hope to instruct others and pass on what they have learned. Negotiators and mediators are skilled at bargaining and striking compromises. More martially inclined Jedi decide to become active guardians of the people and the Republic, defending and protecting its people with their lightsabers and their physical abilities from all dangers.

Few are strong enough in the Force and have the devotion to walk the Jedi's path, but those few are awarded with a powerful ally. They walk in a larger world than those who neither feel nor heed the Force.

Technically, a Jedi is called a Jedi Knight for all intents and purposes. But since the "knighthood" has to be earned by facing the Trials, before that the Jedi is effectively a padawan. Rules-wise, this is addressed as:
1st level through 6th level: Jedi Padawan (JP)
7th level through 20th level: Jedi Knight (JK)
When a Jedi gains an apprenctice or with 1st class in Jedi Master PrC: Jedi Master (JM).

Jedi should be gifted in all abilities, but Wisdom and Constitution are the most important. Depending on their subsequent development, either Strength/Dexterity or Intelligence/Wisdom will become important. Charisma is important for negotiators.
