Force Reinforcement
Known Applications · Limitations and Drawbacks · Learning · Intent · Other Notes
A heavily focused form of force body augmentation, force reinforcement is a force power used to increase the density of one's own body. Drawing on and channeling the force through and into the body, a user can change their body to resist physical forms of damage. This is not an instinctive state of being but rather an active technique that can allow Force Users some greater measure of protection for a time.

▵Known Applications
Augmented Strength. Through reinforcing one's body, the force allows a person to have a greater capacity to lift objects, create small kinetic shock waves through a stomp or clap, put more force behind jumps or combat maneuvers, and just in general show enhanced feats of physical strength when compared to the average humanoid.
Enhanced Durability. Through the use of this technique, Force Users are able to reduce the severity of damage they receive from a variety of physical means. Damage from falling or being thrown into objects is greatly reduced and blunt force attacks will often be shrugged off without real injury.

Limitations and Drawbacks
Active Maintenance. This power needs to be activated to be used and puts a constant strain on a Force User's reserves of Force Energy and mental fortitude to keep active. An inexperienced force user may find it hard to maintain the ability for more than a few minutes at a time, while more experienced force users could potentially keep it active for up to an hour.
Intense Focus. In order to use this ability, a force user must clear their mind and slow their breath to a near crawl while concentrating. While possible to be activated while in distress (i.e. falling from a height), this is a Force Technique that can only be used in conjunction with other Force Techniques or complex attacks by experienced Force Users that have greater discipline in the force than average (aka level 3 and 4 Force Users).
Only Physical Resistance. This power mimics the effect of adding density to a person with the Force to help against physical attacks, but will do nothing to make that same person Blaster-resistant, Energy-resistant or Lightsaber-resistant. They are just as vulnerable to energy attacks while using this ability as they are without.
Solidified Form. A cost of reinforcing the body with the force would be speed and flexibility. A user of this power can easily be at a disadvantage against opposition that is rather agile, or have slower reflexes than they would otherwise due to the strain it puts on their body as the force flows through it consistently to form that solid barrier.
▵Learning
Any force user that is able to effectively use force augmentation has the potential to use Force Reinforcement, though not very well without specific training. It is an ability that can take years to learn and decades to master. In order to use it with any sort of effective way, the user needs to have spent a decent bit of time solely practicing the power.
Ooc: Theoretical/novice understanding at level 1, but no legitimate application until level 2 or higher + specific plot(s) dedicated to studying it further
▵Intent
Just in general, I thought density manipulation could be an interesting variant of force body augmentation. We've seen the force aid people with agility, speed, etc. in the past and I think the force essentially doing the opposite could be fun to write. I also found the force ability Soft to Solid, and I felt like expanding upon it and fleshing it out past what is presented.
