Note:The creation of the Assassin homunculus requires an element of hatred and anger to be used. For this reason, and for the associated evil intent, creators of an Assassin Homunculus automatically receive a Dark Side Point at the time of power use.
Effect:Creates a Force construct that can be controlled by the Jedi, yet also has some degree of "free will." One of at least three types of homunculi (Assassin, Scout, and Burden) can be created (for stats, see below).
One the homunculus is created, this power need not be kept up. However, a Difficult Sense roll is necessary to use the creature's senses as the Jedi's own. This done, a moderate Control roll allows communication / command of the homunculus.
Any life force the creature may seem to have is simply a physical manifestation of the Force and while the homunculi are capable of limited independent thought, they tend to simply follow the last command given.
When the creature suffers damage greater than a wound, it begins to disintegrate, then fade, and finally returns to the dust its physical form was created from.
Types Of Homunculi:
Note: Use of character points during creation of the homunculus increases one skill one pip over attribute and beyond base skill level listed below. Note that all homunculi have the same number of base attribute and skill dice (+/-).
