Befriend Animal

Befriend Animal is one of the Force Powers available to the Jedi.

Power: The Jedi can befriend local wildlife - though limited in their abilities, befriended animals will try to help the Jedi to the best of their ability and understanding within their natural behavior. For example, a befriended Rancor might attack the Jedi's enemies. However, a befriended rabbit would not be able to operate a computer panel to open a door. The effect is temporary and requires a check for especially powerful animals (such as the aforementioned Rancor). Next to this, the Jedi gains an animal companion, a small creature that is a permanent friend to the Jedi.

Rank 1: When facing a hostile animal, the Jedi can calm them down enough to stop them from attacking, so long as the reason the animal attacked is ended. Thus, a guard dog would stop attacking unless the master was present and ordering the dog to attack.

●● Rank 2: The Jedi can perform a special 10 minute ritual to draw in local wildlife, which gathers around the Jedi over the course of the ritual and calmly waits to be befriended.

●●● Rank 3: The jedi can meditate to take control of the animal companion, which allows her to take action as if she were the animal companion. The animal companion does not gain any of the Jedi's attributes, but can take actions that seem extraordinary smart to outsiders.
