Can A Sith Warrior Force-Walk?

As the title says

In the Sith Inquisitor storyline you learn of the force walking ritual in which you can bind ghosts to you to increase your power. i'm just wondering if it would be possible to do this as a sith warrior.. Or is it a secret that only an inquisitor has the power to use?

Inquisitor vs Sith Warrior is just an ingame class distinction. Background wise a sith is a sith. Some focus more on the mysteries of the force, some more on lightsaber dueling, but they are all Sith. Whether they can learn complex force rituals like force binding would depend more on their affinity and strength with the force than anything else.

You also need the gift of being attuned to the dead. Killing people everywhere you go does not account to being bound easily to ghosts.

 

 

I would imagine, if the inquisitor - aka - the decendant of Kallig - was lucky enough to be in the same position of Baras' apprentice, she'd likely not learnt the ability, but still had the potential to use it.

You have to remember, Force-Walking isn't an every day thing. The amount of energy it drained from someone who spends most his life training in the Force and not the blade... let's just say, I doubt the Warrior could pick up a lightsaber after the ritual. At least, the every-day one.

On another note

 

 

The Inquisitor get really messed up from binding all those ghosts at the beginning of chapter 3. The reason they survive is because of a tremendous willpower (not the stat but the actual level of determination). While a Warrior might survive physically I have serious doubts about them staying even remotely sane after the experience

That's true.. but what if he was protected by his loyal followers and was allowed to recover after binding a spirit.. Assuming he would have to instantly pick up his light saber and fight after he bound the spirit is presuming he is under attack really :p..

Any force user can force-walk, as long as they can learn the ritual properly and overpower or convince the force ghost to be bound to them ( for a time).

 

A warrior wouldn't learn that ritual unless it's a last resort. The Inquisitor only learned that ritual because he didn't have a choice; it was either that or be killed by Thanaton.

Disagree. In the Inquisitors story he/she had an "affinity" for it. It is something you're born with and needs to be developed. If you weren't born with the affinity then you can't do it no matter how much studying you do.That is why there were so many corpses laying there. The Ghost who teaches you even confirms this. Check out the story again and you will see ...

You are welcomed to disagree all you want but I stand by my earlier statement. Sith respect power. Exar Kun was declared Lord of the Sith, for this very reason. The Sith warrior would have be taught the ritual, plain and simple. There is no way Ergast could have overpowered him.

 

the dead corpses were as a result of the fact that those acolytes couldn't grasp the complexity of the ritual and then they didn't have a strong enough will to overpower the ghost.

 

Whether the Inquisitor had an affinity for force-walking or not, if he had failed to learn the ritual and overpower Ergast, he would have died.

Like, the Wrath of the Emperor, or just some random Sith whose talents we don't know? The Wrath, as far as we know, doesn't have the talent to Force-Walk. You need to be attuned to the dead in order to do that, as per the Inquisitor's storyline, which the Wrath hasn't been shown to be at all (except for with Valkorion, but that's only because Valkorion has a hard on for the Wrath's body).

 

I think it's safe to assume that, if we haven't seen it in-game, the warrior can't Force-Walk, which is fine. That doesn't make him weaker in the Force, just as the healing ritual the Bar'senthor learns doesn't make her more powerful than the Hero of Tython.

While it is a force ability not all force users will be able to use another force ability. If that was the case then more would have been able to use Battle Mediation. Some force abilities are specific to certain people and therefore just because it is a force ability doesn't make it that all force users can use it.

 

Some abilities take special training or you need to be more attuned to that ability. Each force user is different and therefore some abilities they use will be different than another one. No force ability is better than another one, just different and more in tune to what that specific person can learn or is attuned to.

Another example: Darth Malgus is (roughly equivalent to) a Warrior, and he can use Force Lightning. The Wrath can't. It's not because the Wrath isn't powerful, it's because not everyone has an affinity for Force Lightning (and/or its assorted variants - lore-wise, I'm pretty sure Depredating Volts, Shock, etc. are considered just different ways of using the same ability).

 

Similarly, the Inquisitor is also better suited to Force Walking. But if you see an Inquisitor do a Force Choke or display the kind of presumably Force-boosted physical combat skills the Warrior employs, let me know.

very occasionally you find a person who has a unique force ability that no one else can get, almost as if they were born with this particular force skill, but it doesn't activate until a certain point in their life like for example the later half of their teenage years, 15-16 years old and it just unlocks and it needs to be controlled or practised on.

 

a lot the current force techniques can be learned, even those that ordinarily one would'nt be able to learn can learn it, when one has control over the force, anything is possible within the force. but think of it this way, Jedi Master Dooku served the order many decades before turning to the darkside, he had skills only a jedi could learn of and control, but then he switched over and learned to force choke, force lightning and so on. just because one isn't taught these skills doesn't made it impossible.
