Mathematical Savant

Any skill requiring the application of mathematics, including Commerce, Electronics, Engineering, Gambling, and Science are always at one grade easier. In addition, the character can accurately perform in one Round of intense concentration any mathematical calculation that an ordinary person would require many hours of work with pencil and paper.

They are unaffected by most Force Traits but they can be injured through physical manifestations of the Force, e.g., being moved by or having something thrown at them via Telekinesis. A Null-Force character by definition cannot be a Jedi, Sith, or other Force user, regardless of their POW. Characters are unaffected by Aura, Coerce, Illusion, Leech, Telepathy, and Violate.
