Sense-related skills represent the ability to sense the Force in other things besides one's own body. Jedi learn to feel the bonds that connect all living things, to see how all these things are interconnected.

Beast Languages

Basic Skills: Receptive Telepathy, Projective Telepathy, Translation

This is the skill of understanding animal languages. Animals do have their own languages, but humans, for the most part, have forgotten how to understand them. Therefore, this skill is both learning to understand the animal's language and read its body language.

To practice this skill, sit and observe an animal. Study its habits and the way it interacts with other animals and people. Imitate the sounds it makes and see how it reacts. While doing this, seek to do read the animal's emotions through the Force as well as your other senses. In time, you will learn to interpret the animal's messages and be able to "converse" with it in a very rudimentary way.

Blind Sense

This is the ability to do things while blinded.

To practice this skill, blindfold yourself and try to continue doing whatever it is you would normally do. Draw on the Force to help you sense objects, and focus on your other senses as well.

Combat Sense

Basic Skills: Danger Sense, Life Detection

This skill is the effect of the Force focusing your senses on the combat at hand. Everything else becomes muted and dulled as the senses are all turned toward the combat occurring around you. All enemies become highlighted in the mind's eye. This focus enhances the ability to attack and defend.

Danger Sense

Basic Skills: Life Detection

This is the ability to sense the motives of others who may do you harm through the Force. The Force flows through all things; it flows through even those who would harm you. By being open to that flow and knowing how to understand it, you can feel an attack coming before it happens, thus increasing your chance to avoid it.

Direction Sense

This is the ability to sense the direction of an object or location by its resonance in the Force. It can be an object of importance: the North Pole, the nearest taxi, etc., but this doesn't work to find living beings, just objects. At first, this skill just gives general directions to the object or the location it's in: left, right, forward, or backward from where you are, but with practice it can grant more information, such as the exact location and distance from the object your current position is.

Life Detection

This is as the name denotes: the ability to detect life around you. This is similar to Direction Sense, but instead of finding object, now you are finding living beings.

A good practice to learn this skill is to sit in the middle of an open field. With your eyes firmly closed, reach out with the Force and seek to sense when life approaches you. During this have a friend approach you, when she wants to, not at a set time, from any direction she wants to. When you feel her, point at the direction in which you feel her. If you are correct she should say so, then begin again. If you are wrong, she should continue approaching until you are correct or until she can touch you, at which time you either switch places or begin again.

Life Sense

Basic Skills: Life Detection

This is similar to the above skill, but it is more focused. Instead of being used to detect any life nearby, it is used to focus in on a particular person or creature, as well as sense if he is injured or hurt and his emotions.

Magnify Senses

This is the ability to enhance one's normal senses to perceive things that otherwise would not be possible to perceive without artificial aids. The Jedi can hear noises beyond his normal hearing due to distance or softness. This applies to normal frequencies only; it doesn't let you hear frequencies you wouldn't normally be able to hear. This skill works likewise for vision, smell, and touch.

Postcognition

Basic Skills: Life Sense

This skill allows a person to investigate the tenuous imprints of the Force left on objects when they are handled by living beings. The Jedi must be able to handle the object she is investigating.

Depending on the skill of the user, this can give anything from a vague sense of who handled the object at a certain time and what events transpired around it, to witnessing the events as if the Jedi was actually there.

Receptive Telepathy

Basic Skills: Life Sense

This is the ability to sense the surface thoughts of another being. This isn't "mind reading," nor does it mean that you can probe for deeper thoughts or hidden memories; you can perceive only the things that the person is thinking about at that moment.

Sense Force

This is the ability to sense the Force in objects and places.

A good example of this is when you walk into a church or temple or holy place of any religion. With all the energy that has been focused in those places for so long, they become natural focus centers for the energy of the Force.

Sense Force Disturbance

This is the ability to sense a disturbance in the Force. This doesn't give specific details, but a vague feeling of what happened.

Once learned, this ability becomes a natural one. It is always there, and the Jedi has little to no control over when it happens. Any disturbance, if close enough or powerful enough, will affect the Jedi.

Sense Force Potential

Basic Skills: Life Detection, Life Sense, Receptive Telepathy, Sense Force

The deep subconscious of a Force-sensitive person is shielded by a protective barrier which prevents another from penetrating his inner mind. This shield pushes back at an intruder, sending her stumbling backwards at times. This "shield" is an involuntary defense maintained by every Force-sensitive person. The magnitude of the backlash depends on the person's strength and knowledge in the Force.

The shield can be utilized by a Jedi who wishes to discover if another person is Force-sensitive. Use a similar process to Receptive Telepathy, but try to push deeper into the other person's mind. If you are pushed away as described above, then the person is Force-sensitive.

Sense Path

Basic Skills: Emptiness, Hibernation Trance

This skill will allow a Jedi to sense where her actions may lead. Bear in mind that this is an overall sense of the path being followed. It isn't a minute by minute play by play, but with proper usage, the Jedi can sense if her course is leading her towards the Dark Side or not. She can then act accordingly to prevent such a thing, or to hasten it depending on the person and her goals.

Shift Sense

Basic Skills: Magnify Senses

This is the ability to shift the senses into a different type then normal, for example, the ability to shift normal vision into the infrared spectrum. Aura perception is considered by some an example of this.

Translation

Basic Skills: Receptive Telepathy, Projective Telepathy

This is the skill to understand a language not normally known by the Jedi. Sometimes the Jedi is even able to read and speak the language. This is called the Gift of Tongues by many religions.

Truth Sense

This allows a Jedi to sense whether a person believes that what he says is the truth. It doesn't give the ability to sense whether what they are saying is true in the overall reality, just whether the person who says it believes it or not.

Weather Sense

Basic Skills: Magnify Senses

Use of this skill is done by attuning oneself to local weather patterns. By sensing the movement of clouds, winds, tides, and solar bodies, the Jedi can discern patterns in the weather and make some limited predictions. It may take weeks or even longer for a Jedi to attune themselves though, so don't expect quick results. When people say things like "A storm is coming, my right knee is hurting," or "It's gonna rain soon. My elbow is aching," these are examples of this sort of skill.
