The Jedi's Handbook,
By
This review is from: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook: A Star Wars Accessory (Hardcover)
The Power of the Jedi Sourcebook is a full-color, hardcover resource for all things pertaining to the Jedi Order. Continuing from the standard set by the Dark Side Sourcebook, the "PotJ" book combines information and utility with a tasteful arrangement of interior artwork and photos. Most players will probably be most interested in the selection of new Jedi Prestige Classes, Light Side Force skills, feats, and equipment that the book offers. But there are also sections discussing Jedi history, Jedi traditions, new equipment, and new force-sensitive creatures. There are entries on important characters, important locations, and even advice on how to run a Jedi campaign. And of course, no book on the Jedi would be complete without a discussion of Force Spirits. This is also a section discussing new races, but most of these are also in the newer Ultimate Alien Anthology. This book has been one of the important resources in my Star Wars campaign. I've really enjoyed using the Prestige Classes. From the Jedi Healer to the powerful Jedi Weapon Master, players now have a much wider range of advancement options open to their characters. In addition many of the force-sensitive characters, creatures, and locations have already popped up in my storyline. I also found the notes on running a Jedi campaign to be very useful, for not only can they guide a GM but they can also aid players on how a Jedi should conduct himself. However, I do have a few minor complaints. A few of the Light Side force skills, particularly Force Light and Sever Force, seem to be quite powerful. Perhaps this is because they were based on the abilities of comic-book characters, but in any case, it was a wise move that such skills may only be acquired with GM approval. I would have also preferred to see a much more in-depth history section, particularly as it pertains to the Tales of the Jedi storyline. Finally, I felt that the maps for some of the important locations were fairly inadequate. However, as I noted earlier, these were minor complaints. Overall, I found this to be an outstanding addition to my Star Wars campaign. I use it often, and it is likely that I will continue to do so for some time to come. Whether you're the GM of a campaign with Jedi in it, or whether you're a player wanting to explore the possibilities of a Jedi character, I'd recommend this book as a solid investment.

A very useful insight to the Jedi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook: A Star Wars Accessory (Hardcover)
This supplement is quite useful for anyone who likes the Jedi classes in the Star Wars D20 RPG. Beyond being great game material, it's also excellent source material. There are many things that are finaly given to the Jedi or explained in this book. For one thing, the code of conduct, The Jedi Code, is better explained as is the life of a Jedi. Just like in The Dark Side Sourcebook, there is a rich history of the Jedi Order as well as history on Light Side sights. Of course, there are things like awesome prestige classes (Force Warrior, Jedi Weapon Master, Jedi Healer to name a few). All in all, an excellent buy whether you're interested in Star Wars as a general fan or enjoy the RPG. The Force is strong with this one.

Great book for SW RPG,
By
This review is from: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook: A Star Wars Accessory (Hardcover)
If you have the Core Rulebook, this supplement is a must. It contains lots of info on the jedi and lots of great stuff about the types of jedi you can play with prestige classes and all. Being a Jedi is what Star Wars is made of, so this book is a must if you want your adventure of RPG to be complete.
