[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3618424, member: 892"] I wanted to get feedback on, first, whether the following build is legal, and, second, whether it achieves what I want. I am hoping for a defense-oriented Jedi – he will not do much heavy hitting himself (and wants to avoid using the Force offensively), but can protect the team while they do the heavy hitting. Note that I am going with the assumption that one can construct a lightsaber without taking 7 levels in the Jedi class, so long as one has 7 heroic levels. Note also that the errata affects the number of Force Powers one gains upon taking the Force Training feats multiple times. I could see him with a lightsaber in one hand, a blaster pistol in the other, ready to fire or strike, but mostly thinking of protecting others using Draw Fire and Harm’s Way, then Block and Deflect. Ithorian, default array. Ability scores at 1st level (modified by species): Str10 Dex6 Con13 Int12 Wis17 Chr16. 1st level: Jedi – Starting Class feats: WP (Lightsaber, Simple Weapons), Force Sensitivity.

Class Feat: Skill Focus (Use the Force). 3rd level: Jedi. Feat: Force Training (2xRebuke, 2xNegate Energy). Talent: Deflect. 4th level: Soldier: Starting Class Feat: WP (pistols). Talent: Harm’s Way. +1 Wis, +1 Chr. (Add 2xRebuke) 5th level: Scoundrel. Starting Class Feat: Point Blank Shot. Talent: Fool’s Luck. 6th level: Soldier. Class Feat: Skill Training (Persuasion). Feat: Force Training (2xRebuke, 3xNegate Energy). 7th level: Soldier. Talent: Draw Fire. 8th level: Soldier. Class Feat: Skill Focus (Persuasion). +1 Wis, +1 Chr. 9th level: Jedi Knight. Talent (Shii-Cho -2 Block/Deflect). Feat: Force Training (2xRebuke, 3xNegate Energy). 10th level: Jedi Knight. Force Technique: Force Point Recovery. 11th level: Jedi Knight. Talent (Soresu reroll Block/Deflect). 12th level: Soldier. Talent: Equilibrium. Feat: Force Training (4xRebuke, 6xNegate Energy) . +1 Wis, +1 Chr. 13th level: Jedi Master. Talent: Damage Reduction 10. 14th level: Scout. Starting Class Feat: Shake it Off. Talent: Force Recovery. 15th level: Force Adept. Talent: Empower Weapon. Feat: Force Training (2xRebuke, 4xNegate Energy). 16th level: Force Adept. Force Technique: Force Point Recovery. +1 Wis, +1 Chr. 17th level: Force Adept. Talent: Attune Weapon. 18th level: Force Disciple. Talent: Fortified Body. Feat: Force Training (3xRebuke, 3xNegate Energy). 19th level: Jedi Knight.
