Mind and Psionics

I was messing around with the character creation system and creating a "Jedi" type character. I want to make someone skilled in the "force" but I want him to have a normal Mind stat. How can I represent this? Are the there any optional rules I can use?

One common approach is to use Boost Mind (only with the Force), so when making Mind rolls with Telekinesis or whatever he'll have a higher Mind multiplier, but it doesn't apply to all the 'normal' uses of Mind (skills, noticing things, etc.). Note that the "only with the Force" part isn't an actual Limitation (ie, you don't get points back) because Boost requires a built-in restriction.

Is that what you are looking for?

I didn't know that Boost was available in BASH SF.

Well, I have a great idea for a house rule for you then...

New Power: Boost. Just use the Boost power from UE in your SF game.
