Introduction
The Force binds the galaxy together. It has a light side,
full of promise and hope and life. It also has a dark side.
This book explores the dark side of the Force, casting
light into the shadows, revealing its secrets, and
providing a wealth of new options for the Star Wars
Roleplaying Game.
From the powerful warriors of the ancient Sith Empire to
the visionary Darth Bane, from Darth Maul and Darth
Vader to Emperor Palpatine himself, the dark side of the
Force has seduced many with its siren call. Faster and
easier, the dark side quickly leaps to aid a Force-user
whenever the opportunity arises. The Force-user must
choose to ignore the temptation-or embrace the power the
dark side provides and step firmly onto the path of
corruption.
This book illuminates that shadowy path, providing a map
for playing the dark side from a variety of viewpoints. It
starts with an overview of the dark side and a history of
the predominant darksiders, the Sith. A section of new
skills, feats, and dark side prestige classes follows,
expanding the options available to those dabbling with
dark powers as well as those who have given themselves
fully to the dark side.
The chapter on Gamemastering contains advice,
campaign ideas, and suggestions for introducing the dark
side into your adventures. A section on dark side
equipment follows, covering such diverse items as Sith
swords and orbalisk armor.
No examination of the dark side would be complete
without a detailed look at those who have walked the path
of corruption. The next chapter provides game statistics
and other information for such darksiders as Aurra Sing,
Freedon Nadd, the Nightsisters of Dathomir, the Prophets
of the Dark Side, the Shadow Academy, and the Sorcerers
of Tund.
Dark side creatures and archetypes fill the next section
of the book, covering Massassi and Dxun tomb beasts, as
well as generic darksiders of various levels for the
Gamemaster to use as allies and opponents in any Star
Wars campaign. Finally, the book explores a number of
ways to set up a dark side campaign, as well as a model
for running adventures in the ancient time of the Sith
Empire.
on the dark side of the Force and the stages of corruption
to write-ups on all of the darksiders through the ages,
there's plenty to interest fans. For players in a Star Wars
campaign, this book provides different methods for
exploring the darker side of the Force. With Your GM's
permission, you can attempt to conquer the dark side by
embracing it, in much the same way that Luke Skywalker
tried in the Dark Empire comic book series. Or you can
examine the moral consequences of using the dark side
for the greater good-a struggle every Jedi Knight faces at
some point in his or her career. Is any aspect of the Force
truly good or evil, or is it simply a tool to be used to a
character's best advantage? After you've perused this
book, your character can fully explore these issues within
the game.
For good or ill, the darksider is as much a part of the Star
Wars tradition as the good and honorable Jedi Knight. For
the player who wants to try something different, this book
offers guidance for playing a character who has made the
choice to follow the path of the dark side. But be careful!
Taking this direction can be tricky, even potentially lethal
to a campaign, especially if the other heroes in the
campaign consider themselves to be of good intent. Don't
tread the dark path lightly-at least have some idea of
where you want your hero to end up. If the player and GM
work together, the story possibilities for this option can be
vast and rewarding.
For Gamemasters, The Dark Side Sourcebook contains
an amazing collection of new options. Heroes can test
themselves against the temptations of the dark side with
new rules and prestige classes. Force-sensitive heroes
can confront the dark side within themselves, measuring
their resolve and strength of will. As the Gamemaster, you
can define dark side opponents that will challenge and
confound your heroes. You'll find a large selection of
ready-to-use allies and opponents to drop into any gaming
session. And the campaign and adventure hooks
scattered throughout the book will help you develop your
campaign in entirely new directions.
Doing good only means something if it can be
contrasted against doing evil. In The Dark Side
Sourcebook, evil has some exciting new options, new
proponents, and some new temptations witn wlnicn to
seduce even the most noble Jedi Knights. A new path has
opened before you-whether your hero follows it is up to
you. However you decide to use this book, use it
sparingly. No matter how tempting it might be to throw
every creature and opponent into every adventure, too
much of the dark side can easily overwhelm a campaign.
May the Force be with you-whichever path you
choose.
How to Use This Book
The Dark Side Sourcebook makes a great addition to your
Star Wars library. It has a wealth of information for you to
use, whether you're playing in a Star Wars campaign or
running one as a Gamemaster. How you approach the
contents of this book depends on the role you have in
mind.
Star Wars fans can use this book as a reference tool for
all aspects of the dark side. From the discussions
