#Dnd shatter how to#
While in the Temple of the Sith, Kol Skywalker's spirit approached his son Cade and taught him how to use shatterpoint as a tool to defend himself. Luke Skywalker revealed that he too could perceive shatterpoints, and taught this to Jaina Solo. When Caedus was still Jacen Solo, he destroyed the blasters of several Centerpoint guards merely by exerting Force pressure in the weak points. By tapping the breastplate lightly with the hilt of his lightsaber, Caedus was able to completely shatter the armor. The Sith Lord Darth Caedus used this ability to destroy the beskar-forged armor of the Mandalorian Protector Roegr. Mace was also able to sense the Shatterpoint of Darth Sidious his trust in Skywalker. Eventually Mace realized a number of shatterpoints connected with Anakin Skywalker, prior to Anakin's fall. In only a short span of time, the shatterpoint that made Dooku the heart of the war disappeared. His attachments let his old friend live, however, and so Dooku was able to go on and initiate the Clone Wars. Shortly prior to the First Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu perceived Count Dooku to be a shatterpoint capable of ending the war. Kreia could perceive shatterpoints which she described as "fractures." The status of the two phenomena as one and the same was implicit in Kreia's description of the fractures, which she said could be manipulated by finding the "critical point." Kreia's philosophy hinged in an important way around shatterpoints: prima facie benevolent actions might in fact end harmfully if one was unsure of the myriad repercussions that would follow. Such was the case with Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, who effortlessly shattered a disc of pure Mandalorian iron while practicing the technique under her uncle, Luke Skywalker. Because the Force granted supernatural ability to those who were adept in its use, materials thought to be near-indestructible were easily destroyed. By allowing the Force to surge through them into the weak point, individuals could effectively "shatter" the object, causing it to break into multiple fragments. An individual would view an item through the Force, noting where it came together and also noting weak points in its composition. When applied to physical items, shatterpoints worked much in the same manner. By focusing through the Force on where the healing had taken place, Skywalker was able to see where her old wounds were, and reopen them.
Cade Skywalker was able to perceive shatterpoints in Darth Talon and Nyna Calixte, whom he had previously healed from mortal injury. Shatterpoints could also be discovered in the physiology of living beings. Often, shatterpoints existed for only brief moments, as they could be affected by even the smallest actions. In relation to events, a single "strike," or action, could cause events to transpire completely differently than they might otherwise have. Shatterpoints were perceived like faults in a Corusca gem. All I have to do is pour the Force into the cracks…" ― Cade Skywalker, to the spirit of Karness Muur Ī Force-user applies shatterpoint in lightsaber combat. Shatterspike was reprinted in Tales from the Yawning Portal (2017), a 5th edition adventure compendium which included The Sunless Citadel." I can see every flaw.
