Effect
Before making a lightsaber attack, declare Juyo. On a hit, deal +3d6 Force damage, but take 1d6 damage yourself. If you score a critical hit, add +3d6 more Force damage. The cost of victory is the fury itself.
At the Table
A Jedi Sentinel, level 12 and backed into the reactor pit by a Sith acolyte, decides she's done playing defense. She spends 3 FP and declares Juyo as a free action before her swing — no hesitation, no setup. Her saber connects: the strike rips an extra 3d6 Force damage through the acolyte, even as the backlash of her own fury sears 1d6 off her own hit points. Then she rolls a natural crit, and the form pays out again — another 3d6 Force damage on top, the catwalk lighting up in a single, savage exchange.
In the Lore
Juyo is the seventh and most aggressive of the classic lightsaber forms, the "Ferocity Form," long shunned by the Jedi Order for the raw, barely-bridled emotion it demands of its practitioner. In Legends, it was wielded by figures like Darth Maul, and Mace Windu famously mastered its modern, controlled incarnation, Vaapad — a style that channeled a fighter's own inner darkness into the duel without surrendering to it. The form's defining danger is exactly what this power models: it trades the wielder's safety for overwhelming offense, demanding the user ride their own fury without being consumed by it. As a Universal power it sits on the knife's edge between Jedi discipline and Sith abandon, which is why so few were ever trusted to learn it.
