                   Jedi Help: Dathomir Witch Tradition
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

  Ages ago, the Jedi Council banished a Jedi Knight to the harsh
  planet Dathomir.  The wild world was to be her sanctuary, the
  place where she could search her soul away from the Republic and
  once again find the path of the light side.

  The punishment worked, and she did her pennance.  However, she
  never left the world of Dathomir....

  Not forgotten by the Jedi, but certainly by the Republic, the
  banished Jedi soon found that the harsh world was the new prison
  planet for the harshest of criminals.  The Republic and other less
  legitimate governments began stranding their criminal populations
  on Dathomir to face the rigors of both flora and fauna on their
  own.

  The most fearsome of the threats were the massive rancors, great
  carnivorous creatures of the jungle.  With her Jedi skills, the
  fallen knight was able to befriend the creatures, and used her
  influence to spare the lives of many of the new citizens of the
  backwater planet.

  And in doing so she became their leader ... for without her, they
  would surly die to the wilds.

  Years passed, and the lost Jedi took a husband, and bore children.
  Oddly, or perhaps by design, she bore only daughters.  And as is
  common, the Force was strong in her children.  They were raised to
  be Jedi by their mother.  They grew up, took husbands, and bore
  their own daughters and trained them in the Force.

  As centuries passed, the knowledge of the Force was passed from
  mother to daughter, for the rituals taught them by the first Jedi
  mother were really methods of using the Force to ensure a daughter
  was conceived.  Their society evolved into a matriarchy, for
  though centuries passed, Dathomir became no less wild, and the
  power of the Force to tame the beasts of the jungle was still
  needed to survive.

  The witches of Dathomir exist today, having survived the tests of
  time in their primitive society.  This is not to say that they
  have not been exposed to technology or outside cultures, but they
  have remained largely unaffected by them, since their world holds
  little of value to offworlders apart from its savage beauty.

  Where they have shown a marked change is in their wielding of the
  Force.  Over the centuries, the teachings of mother to daughter
  lost much of the discipline of the Jedi.  To compensate for the
  focus which is instilled upon Jedi apprentices by their masters,
  the witches of Dathomir substituted chants, gestures and even
  reagents to aid their concentration and focus when wielding the
  Force.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

  At the dawn of the second Sith war, students of the the ancient
  Sith Lord, Freedon Nadd took their incomplete knowledge of the
  Sith&#039;s ways and formed the cult of the Krath.

  The dark magics which Nadd&#039;s spirit taught his students proved to
  to be too much for them.  It warped their minds, twisting them
  into callous husks of their former selves who were only interested
  in toying with the lives of others for their own amusement.  They
  turned their mastery of the Dark Side to petty cruelties, often
  with lethal results.

  The main difference between the Krath and the Sith from which they
  were spawned is their incomplete training in the use of the Force.
  While the Sith are considered sorcerers, wielding the Force in
  massive displays of destructive power, the Krath are generally
  considered illusionists.  The Krath&#039;s mastery of the Force centers
  on their ability to alter the thoughts of others and impose their
  will upon their subjects.

  The Krath have the following bonuses to their skills:
  -1 absorb energy                     -1 greater force shield
  -1 accelerated healing               +1 injure-kill
  -2 alter technology                  -1 inspire
  +1 animal affinity                   -1 launch item
  -1 channel energy                    -1 lesser force shield
  +2 clear mind                        -2 lightsaber combat
  +1 cloud mind                        +2 mindblock
  +2 confusion                         +1 misdirect
  -1 dissipate energy                  -1 reduce injury
  +1 disturbing aura                   -1 release force
  -1 enhance metabolism                -1 resist poison
  +1 enrage                            +1 soul siphon
  +1 force                             -1 telekinesis
  -20 force deflection                 +1 telekinetic kill

  The Sith were an ancient race of primitive beings on the far rim
  of the galaxy.  After the first great Jedi war, the Dark Jedi
  flead from the cleansing forces of the Jedi to the far sector of
  space where the Sith lived....

  ....and conquered them.

  Throughout the centuries, the Force teachings of the Dark Jedi and
  the primitive tribal magic of the Sith mingled, just as the blood
  of the Dark Jedi mingled with that of the Sith they had conquered.

  The result was a different means of using the Force, even darker
  than that which the fallen Jedi had brought with them.  The sheer
  ferocity and ruthlessness of the Sith altered their perception or
  the Force forever, bringing them great strength in casting the most
  destructive of spells, but only through their anger, hate and
  jealousy.  The touch of the light side is lost to the Sith forever.

  The Sith have the following bonuses to their skills:
  -1 accelerated healing               -1 hibernation trance
  -1 alter technology                  +1 inflict pain
  +2 clear mind                        +2 injure-kill
  -1 dodge                             -1 lightsaber combat
  -20 force deflection                 -1 reduce injury
  +2 force lightning                   -2 release force
  +1 freeze winds                      +2 soul siphon
  -2 hand to hand combat               +2 telekinetic kill
