A small group of primitive humans with psychic talent were taught in the ways of an ancient order of mystics dedicated to preserving peace and stability across the galaxy. Their alien master disappeared mysteriously before their training was complete. Access to the info-cubes containing the ancient texts were lost when the other aliens abandoned this planet shortly after.
These students eventually proclaimed themselves to be the new masters and took on students of their own. Each of them interpreting the lessons of their old master a bit differently, and certainly some things were mistranslated. Explaining a foreign concept to a student is hard enough, but when you are still a little fuzzy on the details yourself; well...
"We are the Jedites. We strive to follow the path of Jed, and always seek his favor. Jed's Force is all around us, and with proper focus and discipline Jed will allow us to use some of his power. Loyalty to Jed, the order, and to the new masters is paramount. The Jed Eye sees all."
The new masters quarrel among themselves about who should lead, and the Order has fractured into different clans. Some cities are dominated by a single clan, but other cities have begun to see violence between the clans as they fight over turf and prowl the streets looking for new students.
Children sensitive to the force of Jed are taken into the order and trained from a young age. Inferior students are pushed to try harder, but those who buckle under the pressure never achieve full Jedite status.

Through long hours of meditation and practice the Jedites seeks to unlock their hidden psychic talents. At character creation every Jedite gains the power Jed's Eye (rating 1) and a randomly determined Specialized Fighting Style. Every time the Jedite gains a level, a new Jedite power is gained by rolling on the chart below. If the result is a power (or fighting style) already possessed, then the player can choose which power they wish to increase. Each of the seven powers has a maximum rating of 5.
1. Jed's Eye
2. Telepathy
3. Telekinesis
4. Imbue
5. Heal
6. Energy Manipulation
7. Masking
8. Specialized Fighting Style (random)
Specialized Fighting Styles
Roll a d8 to determine which fighting style is learned. These fighting styles have no activation cost, but the AC benefits do not apply to surprise attacks (unless the Jedite has Jed's Eye Lv2: Danger Sense activated). Jedites who know multiple styles may switch between them each round, but the benefits of different styles are never combined. The fighting style benefits apply to both armed and unarmed melee attacks so long as the Jedite can move about freely and is not wielding a slow, heavy two-handed weapon.
1. Snake Style: +/-2 AC, +1 To-Hit, +1 Damage
"Attack with the head when the tail is attacked, attack with the tail when the head is attacked, and attack with both head and tail when the body is attacked." - Sun Tzu
2. Tiger Style: +2 To-Hit, +2 Damage
Tiger
is an aggressive style that utilizes vicious ripping, tearing and
breaking techniques. Tiger style meets force with force. Raking
fingers and precision chops attempt to gouge, snap joints, and break
bones.
3. Flying Eagle Style: Jump ability at will (up to 30ft horizontal, 10ft verticle). A melee attack made while jumping gets +1 Damage per 10ft.
"Eagle powers... come to me! Please!" - Nacho
The Jedite forgoes a melee attack and instead concentrates on focusing power into a ball of force which blasts out toward an enemy. Energy Manipulation power can alter the energy type.
"Hadoken!" - Ryu
5. Two-Headed Snake: reroll one failed attack roll each round
An alternate, more aggressive form of snake style. The defensive posture of snake is replaced by a fast and fluid assault using feints and misdirection.
Doesn't work on undead, constructs, or anything bigger than a hobgoblin.
7. Shaolin Bear Strike: Once per round, if you deal melee damage the victim must Save vs. Paralysis/Stone or be stunned and loose their next action.
The Jedite releases power into each strike attempting to stun their opponent and knock them off balance.
You've developed your own personal fighting style. Give your style a name and split 4 bonus points between AC, To-Hit, and Damage; or get your DM to agree to some other special effect.
