Masteries are DM granted ranks in a skill that go above and beyond the mechanical abilities of the game. These allow you to customize your character and specialize in things to a greater degree than the game normally allows. The mastery system is intended for Roleplay purposes (There is nothing to be gained mechanically nor are there any mechanical advantages.) and primarily see use in skill check rolls in various DM events, however not all DMs use the Mastery system in their events. Nothing is guaranteed with the system and is dealt with case by case. Please submit a ticket to begin queuing up your PC to begin receiving these once your character is about 2 weeks old and has leveled the relevant skill to 50 using the following format:
Mastery Request:
Character Name: Your character name goes here.
Character Age: Only if this is your first time requesting masteries on this character. Provide a screenshot with character age by using the command /char in game to prove your character is over 14 days old.
Masteries requested: Can only queue up to three at a time. Provide the mastery name and rank you're requesting. (Example: Droidcraft 1, Droidcraft 2, Diplomacy 1)
RP justifications for each mastery/rank-up: We are not looking for elaborate backstory recitals, nor 3 page essays with a 1,000 word count. Give us 2-3 sentences of how your character is pushing this skill beyond what the average guy does. How your character utilizes this skill and shapes their RP. Not required but alternatively you can provide screenshots/logs of your character using or training these skills in roleplay (With players or DM events, doesn't matter). The emphasis on this section is what you are doing In game to roleplay these skills, the more players involved with the RP the better.
(Example: [Droidcraft 1] Kai Arvix is proficient with droidcraft, he enjoys tinkering with software and offers his services to other droids for routine maintenance and repairs. Recently the droid T1-K4 approached him with a unique anomaly within it's programming and, while difficult, he eventually was able to successfully troubleshoot sending the plucky droid on it's way.)
Generally speaking, a character can only have a single rank 5 mastery. These masteries take 152 days to get from rank 4 to 5. Other than that, masteries start at 14 days, then 21 days, then remain at 28 days.
Tier 1 receives 3 quick slot (7 day) masteries upon being achieved.
Tier 2 receives 2 quick slot (7 day) masteries upon being achieved.
Tier 3 does not provide quick masteries any longer, and instead usually comes with some investment of faction resources or property for the character to manage.
A rank 5 mastery can be reduced by 28 days by assigning a quick slot to it. You can only reduce a rank 5 mastery by a maximum of 28 days.
As part of a promotion within a faction to some ranks you may gain fast track masteries that complete in 7 days per rank. The masteries and ranks are as follows:
If a character winds up using a 7 day mastery to override the training time on a 14 or 21 day mastery, they receive a new 14 or 21 day mastery slot in its place.
You can reallocate progress at any time from one mastery to another. For instance, if you work on Telekinesis 3 for 2 weeks, but then decide you want Makashi 1 after 2 weeks have passed, you can simply shift all that progress over to Makashi 1.
You can get rid of masteries as well. Removing a mastery gives you a new 14 day training slot. If you get rid of a mastery that you used a quick slot for, you get that quick slot back.
The following is a list of allowed masteries with rarity, associated skills, and sometimes a brief description.
Rarities:
None - Free to take, no restriction
Rare - DM team wishes to restrict these. Handed out on case by case basis. Not guaranteed to be approved.
There is no guarantee your chosen mastery will have a token or in-game benefit.
Masteries have no in-game benefits.
Take them for RP and flavor purposes, not mechanical.
On Miscellaneous Masteries: You may apply for Masteries not on this list, as well, that are more RP focused. (Eg. Breakdancing, drawing, singing). Masteries not on this list may still be requested, as this list is not completely definitive, but expect that they are unlikely to be allowed.
On Dark Side & Corruption: When it comes to Dark Side masteries, please understand there is no morally justifiable reason to use or advance in Dark Side abilities. The Dark Side is evil, corruptive, and all-consuming. It requires the deepest and darkest emotions to function, and thus, should be represented as such. The Dark Side is a crux, an addiction, which preys upon your weakness to fuel with strength until it is all that's left. Therefore, it is expected that people taking powerful Dark Side masteries (including but not limited to Sorcery, Alchemy, Mechu-Deru, Necromancy) are portraying their corruption appropriately. Obviously, players are allowed to express this spiral of their character as they see fit, but the Dark Side cannot be used for an objective “good”. At the end of the day, the pursuit of the Dark is a selfish endeavor, no matter how the journey started. Many examples exist of this in the Star Wars universe, so if you need a comparison, take some time to look up some characters from the games, movies or other literature to figure out what brand of evil might best suit your character.
Similarly, it is expected that players that progress and utilize these masteries are aware of the consequences it can have on their characters. Everything has a price when it comes using the Dark Side, and immense power often comes with immense sacrifice. One might find dabbling frequently and excessively into their dark art will put them on a road of no return. Characters with high ranks in Dark Side masteries are assumed to have utilized their art extensively, even if this isn't reflected in-game. You can't just read about Sith Sorcery to achieve rank 5, you have to practice it. A lot. It is possible a character might face consequences, permanent or temporary, for their practice - it is important you (the player) to understand this when you go forward with your choice.
On the list below, any masteries highlighted are rare.
