Most of the Light Side Forces help you and your allies become stronger and well prepared for combat. However they are mainly defensive powers, you can be more effective with them in the battle. They often act like a pre-battle power up, or a shield, even strengthening your attributes. I wanna give you some examples from several sources, like from the movies, from the Clone Wars cartoon, from the Clone Wars 3D, and from a book.

Force heal

was a Force power that restored the user's health. Force Healing or Health, was a power that used the Force to accelerate the natural healing process rapidly. Initial levels required meditation, but greater aptitude usually granted faster regeneration, without need of meditation. Greater levels of attainment were also able to mend far more severe injuries. Obi-Wan Kenobi used a basic form of this ability on Luke Skywalker after his confrontation with the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. Luke Skywalker healed himself after a very dangerous detonation in the book Survivor Quest, however he had to lay down, but finally totally recovered his health. Barriss Offee was considered to be a great Jedi Healer she used the Force to heal herself, and even the fellow Jedi during battles! Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr were also very good at Force Healing. Some advanced healing forms can even heal others around the user, and cured poisoned Jedi in the KotoR series. In the Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Academy there were three levels of Force heal. The first allowed the user to heal, but he/she was required to go into a trance. The second level allowed the user to move as he/she healed, but once the user engaged in combat, their concentration would be broken. The final level allowed the user to engage in combat while healing.

Force Power Revitalize

Force Power Revitalize is maybe a higher level of the Force Heal. It brings closest killed party member to life and will have 5% of their max vitality points and does not affect droids. Improved Revitalize is the same as before but brings all allies back to life, instead of one. Master Revitalize is the same as the improved one but revived character will have 10% of their vitality points. Palpatine mentioned this for Anakin. He claimed he can help Anakin to revitalize Padme Amidala if she died. He stated Darth Plaegious were able to use the midichlorians to create or save life. However Palpatine were right on this ability, but he never taught this ability for Anakin-Darth Vader!

Force Aura

Light Sided Jedis can use the Force for defend themselves. Force Aura adds +2 to defence and Saving Throws and lasts 20 seconds in Knights of the Old Republic series. Jedis can use the Force as a Shield (Force Shield) which adds +4 to their defense and Saving Throws and lasts 20 seconds. A higher level of this is Force Armor, which adds +6 to defense and Saving Throws and also lasts 20 seconds.

Force Barrier

helps the Jedi to absorbs 15 points of bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. After 15 points, damage is dealt normally. This lasts 30 seconds. Improved Force Barrier is the same as before but absorbs 30 points of damage and lasts 45 seconds. Master Force Barrier is more better, it helps to absorbs 60 points of damage and lasts 1 minute.

Force Valor

This power gives +2 to all attributes and saving throws, affects everyone in your party and lasts 20 seconds. Knight Valor gives +3 instead of +2 and also makes the whole party immune to poison. Master Valor gives +5 instead of +3.

Stun

Force power stuns a human opponent for 9 seconds. If they save they will be still slowed for 9 seconds. Stasis stuns and slows for 12 seconds, while Stasis Field has a 10 meter radius effect from the target opponent, so with it you can stasis MANY opponents, as you could see in my Sith Assassin article.

Stun Droid

This Force Power stuns droid for 12 seconds inflicting some damage. Disable Droid has a 5 meter radius around the target droid. Destroy Droid has a 6 meter radius and 1-6 points of damage per characters level, so with a big roll you can almost or totally destroy a droid with this Force Power.
