What’s new?
Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith the expansion pack to Jedi Knight comes with a lot of new features. The First is improved graphics with colored lighting, which can really set the mood in certain areas. Also Mysteries of the Sith has new powers, new weapons, new multiplayer maps, and personalities for multiplayer. Personalities means that you do not necessarily have to be a Jedi in this game but perhaps you want to be a bounty hunter or a sniper. If Personalities is not your thing there is also Jedi Knight Ranks as well just like Dark Forces 2’s multiplayer.Force Powers
Level 0 Power- Defense
New power used for pretty much Personalities, uses 2 starts instead of 1 and each time you use one it eliminates a level of powers, so if you use 1 you cannot choose level 4, 2 eliminates level 3 and so on.

Useful against powers like Grip and Pull, it will automatically protect you and uses no force
