Written as the ultimate Jedi training manual, The Jedi Academy: Training Manual game supplement reveals the secrets of the Jedi across all eras of the Star Wars saga, from the earliest days of the Old Republic to the Dark Times and the reemergence of the Jedi Order after the fall of the Galactic Empire. It gives players exciting new talents, feats, Force powers, and equipment for their Jedi characters. It also elaborates on the known Jedi fighting styles and provides new ways to build your character around a particular fighting style.]]> 16213 3.87 124 21 3 0 false Wed Jul 29 05:17:22 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 05:26:32 -0700 2009
The book succeeds on that front, making one of the best classes in the game even better. With this book in hand, players will be able to build nearly any Jedi they can think of, from the contemplative healer to the dedicated padawan instructor to the master of Jedi lightsaber forms. Those looking to tread the path less traveled can choose to craft Force users from ten different mystical traditions drawn from across Star Wars Expanded Universe. Players should be on their guard though, as the book also gives Game Masters cool new rules for building Dark Side weapons forged through Sith alchemy and unleashing abominations corrupted by the Dark Side.

The rest of my review is up on GameCryer.com but the long and short of it is that the book's worth getting if you play a Jedi or some other Force user, or your a GM who wants to create Force-wielding enemies (e.g. Sith). Others can safely skip it.]]>
