Sith Lords have the following traits and requirements:</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Requirements</h3>
To qualify to become a Sith Lord, a character must fulfill the following criteria.{{newline}}'''Minimum Level:''' 12th.{{newline}}'''Trained Skills:''' [[Use the Force]].{{newline}}'''Feats:''' [[Force Sensitivity]], [[Weapon Proficiency#Lightsabers|Weapon Proficiency (lightsabers)]].{{newline}}'''Force Techniques:''' Any one [[Force Techniques|Force Technique]].{{newline}}'''Dark Side Score:''' Your [[The Force#Dark Side Score|Dark Side Score]] must be equal to your [[Wisdom]] Score. If your Dark Side Score ever becomes less than your Wisdom score, you lose access to all class features granted by this class (including talents) until your Dark Side Score again equals your Wisdom score.{{newline}}'''Force Tradition:''' Must be a member of the [[Sith (tradition)|Sith tradition]].</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Hit Points</h3>
At each level, Sith Lords gain 1d10 hit points + their [[Constitution]] modifier.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Force Points</h3>
Sith Lords gain a number of [[Force Points]] equal to 7 + one-half their character level (rounded down) every time they gain a new level in this class (due to their strong connection to the Force, Sith Lords gain more Force Points than most other [[Prestige Classes|prestige classes]]). Any Force Points left over from previous levels are lost.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Defense Bonuses</h3>
At 1st level, you gain a +3 class bonus to your [[Fortitude Defense]], [[Reflex Defense]], and [[Will Defense]].</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Fearless</h3>
You are immune to fear effects.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">Temptation</h3>
You are adept at using Dun Möch, an ancient and vile technique for tempting others to tap into the dark side of the Force. As a [[Combat (page 2)#Standard Actions|standard action]], a Sith Lord can make a [[Persuasion]] check and compare it to the Will Defense of a single opponent within line of sight. If the check succeeds, the target is filled with fear or anger, briefly giving in to the dark side. If the target spends a Force Point before your next turn, it must either add 1 point to its Dark Side Score, or move −1 step on the Condition Track, as it is overcome by doubt and remorse. If the target spends a [[Destiny Point]] before your next turn, it instead must either add 2 points to it’s Dark Side Score, or move −2 steps on the Condition Track.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
