This mod started as Monk subclass and quickly grew out of hand and became its own class. It does still follow the basic monk framework (up to level 12) including Ki points, unarmored defense, unarmed attacks, etc. This mod is natively compatible with level curve unlockers and has progressions all the way to 20 but does not require a level unlocker.
Attribute bonuses: I am a huge fan of attribute bonuses so I added passive attribute gains, however, these are all toggleable so you can turn them off if you want. Guardians gain strength, Sentinels gain dexterity, Consulars gain wisdom, and all subclasses gain charisma. The bonus starts at 1 at the 3rd level and increases whenever you choose a light/dark passive or prestige class passive.
Class Features:
Ki points: get 4 Ki points at level 1 and 1 additional Ki every level
Unarmored Defense Jedi: When not wearing armor or using a shield, increase your AC by half of your wisdom modifier, rounded down.
Elegant Weapon: Proficiency with longswords and Longswords count as "monk weapons" (BG3 counts any weapon you have proficiency with, so all that is really here is Longsword proficiency at level 1)
Extra Attack: gain the extra attack feature at level 5
Jedi Defense: While wielding a Longsword increase your AC by 1, cannot be wearing armor or using a shield to gain this benefit.
Force Powers: Cast force powers using Ki points. Gain Force Push, Force Pull and Command at level 1, learn an additional power every even level thereafter.
Follow the Light or fall to Darkness: Choose a light side or dark side passive at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15
Light/Dark Passives:
[]Level 3: Peace: gain expertise in Persuasion. or Passion: gain expertise in Intimidation
[]Level 6: Knowledge: gain damage reduction equal to CHA modifier. Strength: increase spell damage by CHA modifier
[]Level 9: Serenity: gain CHA modifier bonus to all saving throws. Power: increase spell DC by CHA modifier
[]Level 12: Harmony: Cast Pr
The Way of the Living Force is a class mod for Skyrim that lets you become a Jedi or Sith, with three subclasses: Guardian, Consular, and a third focused on skills, combat, and the Force. It has 281 endorsements and over 81,000 downloads, last updated in March 2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (81k+) shows it's a go-to for Star Wars fans in Skyrim.
- Three distinct subclasses give you real build variety, from saber-heavy Guardian to Force-focused Consular.
- Still updated as of March 2024, so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Endorsement-to-download ratio is low (281 endorsements out of 81k downloads), which could mean some users had issues or it's just underrated.
For Skyrim players who want to live out their Star Wars power fantasy, especially those who enjoy class-based builds and roleplaying as Jedi or Sith. If you're looking for a lore-friendly, immersive overhaul, this might not be it—it's all about the Force and lightsabers. Skip if you prefer vanilla-style gameplay without sci-fi elements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the description doesn't mention dependencies, check the mod's posts or comments for any required frameworks like SkyUI or SKSE.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts with other class mods.
- Try out each subclass on a test character to see which playstyle fits you before committing to a full playthrough.
