Forms - what exactly do they do?

[Simon Appleton]

I haven't found any quantitative information on the effect of the different light-saber fighting styles (forms?). The qualitative info in the manual and game is good, but anyone figured out the numbers?

go to the menu and then to the force powers section. go down to where the forms are and it has the stats.

[Simon Appleton]

Great - just found it; this is exactly what I wanted.

 

While I am on about it, though - anyone ever get the Niman form? From the manual, its supposed to be good at everything but I reached level 27 without learning it.

[Cona05]

i got it once as a sentinal/assassin

 

it gives +1 attack, blaster rolls, force resist, and defense i think.

 

then it says since attack also contributes to blaster rolls, its a net +2 to blaster rolls.

You get each form from a Jedi master (that is the advanced forms).

 

Weapon Masters get a unique one and consulars get 3 unique ones but less weapon forms.

 

Niman is usually the last one you will get. Unless you are a weapon master then you get Joyu I think.

Juyo is the true definition of murder.

What forms do is make an already easy game even easier. I ignored forms completely my first time, until about two-thirds of the way through I found (for the first time) an opponent I couldn't beat with one hand tied behind my back. So I found the appropriate form and it became easy again.

 

I remember the two big monsters in on Korriban in Kotor 1, where I had to run past them, pull a level to open a door, and hide in the next room firing blaster shots at them because they could kill me in three blows.

Do the forms have different attack animations?

[DesertHawk]

No. They all use the same anims.

the only ones that count are ataru and shien forms...

 

ataru increases threat range by one point..

 

shien quadruples critical hit multiplier...using master power attack, and two keen lightsabres, my consular weapon master str build can sometimes hit for 240 points IN A SINGLE HIT...

[Darth Sirius]

So much for the cool assed scorpion, oh well maybe they are saving it for kotor 3.

[><FISH'>]

as your level gets higher you get different animations......flurry looks crap critical str. looks ok and power attack looks excellent...

[Guest Damar Stiehl]

Force Channel is ridiculous, especially if paired with Regenerate Force Points feat. The only form a Consular needs, really, because you never run out of FP and your powers hit like a sledgehammer.
