Finesse Lightsaber or Finesse Melee

[B_old]

Hello.

I was wondering about the two Finesse feats Lightsaber and Melee.

Lightsaber will obviously only affect lightsabers, but what about Melee? Will Finesse Melee also work with lightsabers? Or will the add up if you have both?

I'm wondering the same about Weapon Specialisation too.

Thanks for the help.

 

If I'm lucky I'll get the game tomorrow.

I'm going to play Sentinel/Weaponmaster.

Not sure about my attributes yet:

Str 14

Dex 14

Con 14 (Just for the implants)

Int 10

Wis 12

Cha 14

 

OR

 

Str 14

Dex 14

Con 14 (Just for the implants)

Int 14

Wis 10

Cha 12

 

OR

 

Str 14

Dex 14

Con 12

Int 10

Wis 14

Cha 14

 

What do you think?

How important are skills (I will get persuade either way) and would not 3 SP per level as a Sentinel be enough to do most things?

 

Thanks!

Use lightsaber finesse for your fellow Sith/Jedi and leave the Melee for everyone else (except the droids).

I don't think they work together besides they both do the same thing. So even if they did it would not make any difference.

If they indeed did the same thing (and wouldn't add up), what exactly would be the point of seperate Finesse Lightsaber ect. ?

Because Lightsabers are suppost to be harder to use than a melee weapon thus requiring another feat to master it. So yes they do the same thing but they are for different weapons. Make sense?

What I want to know:

1. Does Finesse Melee (and Weapon Specialisation Melee...) affect my skill with the lightsaber?

 

2. If 1. is true: Will Finesse Lightsaber help me to further increase my lightsaber skill?

Or to put it another way: Do I need both Finesse Lightsaber AND Finesse Melee to get maximum skill with ONLY the lightsaber?

 

Thanks

1. No, melee finesse is redundant when you're a lightsaber user. Thus, it doesn't affect your lightsaber skill at all.

 

2. See #1.

OK, cool.

Just to be sure, all this is true everytime you can choose between weapon specialisation for either Melee or Lightsabers?

In other words: I don't need anything "Melee" if I only plan to use a lightsaber.

 

Thanks for clearing this up.

I think you might also be confussed about the Finesse feat it only serves to change the chances to hit from the strength modifier to the Dex mod (saying your dex mod is higher than your strength mosd that is), meaning if your using a Dex based character then you want to have this in order to hit more times than not. Though it doesn't change the ammount of damage done in a hit because thats still set by your strength mod.

No, this is perfectly clear to me.

Yep. No problem.

[anakins revenge]

it really wont matter which one u choose, by the middle of the game ur pc will become insanely powerful so it doesnt make a difference.

Basically they half did the d20 finesse. Finesse is per weapon. They just decided to only break off for lightsabers.
