About This File
Integrates Force powers from KOTOR II into KOTOR I.
DETAILS
This mod adds 6 Light side and 6 Dark side Force powers from KOTOR II to KOTOR I.
Added powers:
• Master Heal
• Force Barrier
• Improved Force Barrier
• Master Force Barrier
• Revitalize
• Improved Revitalize
• Drain Force
• Improved Drain Force
• Master Drain Force
• Force Scream
• Improved Force Scream
• Master Force Scream
I wanted any added powers to feel like they fit naturally in K1 while keeping faithful to their design in K2. For this and other reasons the following powers are excluded:
• Powers restricted to prestige classes
• Powers granted to the Exile through the story
• Powers with hardcoded effects / that would take more involved scripting to implement (Mind Trick, Force Body, Force Deflection)
• Battle Meditation - Try my mod Bastila Has TSL Battle Meditation to give this to Bastila as a unique starting power.
• Master Energy Resistance - The Energy Resistance tree was rebalanced in KOTOR II so this power isn’t much better than Improved Energy Resistance in K1, at least not enough to justify it taking its own slot.
• Master Revitalize - Level 21 power in K2, level capped at 20 in K1
This mod doesn’t give powers to NPCs and doesn’t touch AI scripts. This means enemies will not use the powers and party members will only use them if commanded to.
The Force Scream VFX/sound, Revitalize VFX, and Force power icons are ported from KOTOR II.

COMPATIBILITY AND NOTES
Should be compatible with any other mod as long it uses TSLPatcher or you install this mod after. Worst case if another mod adds any of the same powers you will have two versions of it. The only mod I know of is InSidious' Four Force Powers which adds a similar Revitalize power.
From k_inc_force it seems that some of the powers in KOTOR II don’t function exactly like they’re described. For example the Revitalize powers heal a flat amount instead of a percentage as stated in the description. Drain Force steals a maximum of 20 FP from an enemy, not 10, and Improved Drain Force affects multiple enemies in a range, instead of a single enemy. Some of these seem to be intentional changes that were just never updated in the Force power description. I decided to implement the powers the same way they function in TSL and correct the descriptions.
I’m not sure it’s possible to add custom casting animations so Force Scream uses the regular “hand out” animation instead of the “fury” animation it uses in KOTOR II.
