Force Harmony

[Aslyn Denethorn]

This one might be a tad difficult to implement, if indeed it is even possible, but I remember doing some JA RP with others that were of a Padawan rank, being taught to use the Force Harmony ability. What this was in essence the ability for Jedi to merge their powers temporarily, such that the resulting effect was stronger than anything they could personally produce.

In EU terms, the Jedi Academy series demonstrates this ability, with the Jedi students at the Yavin IV Praxeum combining their powers in order to banish Exar Kun. Invariably there are certain powers you'd not want enhanced in such a way (like Force Lightning), but you could see some positive developments in the use of something like the Mind Trick (a larger, blanket illusion covering multiple people) or Force Sense (using the combined meld to enhance the efficacy.

It just struck me as a possibility, something that could perhaps be used to teach students to work with each other more closely to gain a benefit that could be used in the field - something that would naturally require good co-ordination and a LOT of training. Naturally, I understand the potential for abuse, but I thought I'd throw out the idea anyway.

That noted, the first and foremost question is this: is it even possible to implement? I was thinking, in very general terms, you could base the system on your current XP ranks, whereby a Mind Trick used by one Padawan would be stronger if they performed it in harmony with another. Again, not very useful in most circumstances, since you'd have to stand still to do it, for example, but useful for training. That said, I know that JA coding is a little tricky, so it might not be possible.

Any thoughts?

A good idea, though it sounds difficult to do. However, Soh has continually ceased to amaze, so hopefully it is possible. I would be in favor of this depending on how it would be implemented, if so, and I see interesting ways it could be used.
