Quick lightsaber question

[Yig]

Hi,

I'm about to start playing KoTOR on the Xbox and since I don't have the SW d20 book I need to know something before I start playing.

Is the to hit with a lightsaber Str or Dex based ?

Thanks !

Like in regular D&D, the bonus on the attack roll with a LS is based on Str in SW D20. (Unless, of course, you take the weapon finesse feat.)


Hope this helps!

KoTOR, while based on SW d20, is not a direct converstion of the ruleset. In the game your attack roll with a lightsaber is modified by either your str or dex, whichever is higher. In effect every character has Weapon Finesse [Lightsaber] for free.

Note that your damage with a lighsaber is modified by str. Note that your attak roll with other melee weapons (vibroblade, stun baton, etc) is modified by str with no option to change it.

Also the feats and skills in the game have been vastly simplified for mass market consumption. The feats more closely resemble their Never Winter Nights counterparts while the skills have been boiled down to only eight (or was it ten) skills. Dont' worry, you will catch on in no time.

Hope you enjoy the game, its the best CRPG I've played in a long time
