Methinks JobeBautista and Oquin & Terian missed the original post where I said:

And then do it without cheese like summoned monster spam , exploiting bad pathfinding, or using NPC's removed from party to block him from moving... I mean a direct one-on-one ...

A better question would be "Armor... who needs it?" The answer would be "not Jedi".

Just use the Energy Resistance power or shields to soak damage while focusing on raw offensive damage instead of monkeying around with AC. AC almost never gets used in the combat mechanics after Taris:
--most ...

FO2 > FO1 >>> NV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FO3

Originals were the best, have to give a slight edge to 2 over 1, NV was what the original beta version of FO3 should've been, and FO3 was merely a half-arsed FPS hiking simulator with irrelavent RPG elements thrown in to dupe a larger market ...

No worries, I didn't take it as critcism, and I agree... the whole save-scumming aspect of CRPG's does change the dynamic of things quite a bit... there's a lot of stuff they could've done with this, and of course, 2nd edition always had the bottom line of "DM's Discretion"... they could've ...

If the game wasn't glitched/poorly implemented it wouldn't have worked though. Drinking more than one potion should have a high chance of blowing you up, that many potions would definitely have done so, and the three int should have left you unable to cast spells.

I was curious about this, so I ...

Maybe you couldn't cast spells at Behilfet since he was under the effect of "improved invisibility" which he casts sometimes.

That would only give him a +4 bonus to his saves, not make him untargetable.... I could still target him to cast the spells on him, I just didn't get any kind of feedback ...

Well, then fret not... Violet Potion = STR 25, DEX 3, and CON 3. The potion of Agility and Potion of Fortitude set DEX and CON back to 18.

FTR, the Red Potion sets INT to 25, and WIS and STR to 3, plus gives 50% MR.

I was at the TotSC cap, 161k XP, level 9 for a mage.

No, I just went by what it said on the character screen... either way, it seemed like he was attacking pretty slowly for it to be more than one per round, but oh well... spoze I could go back and turn on the "auto-pause every round" option to see if I was attacking multiple times or not... Kind ...

I did it with the following:

Gear:
Neck: Amulet of Metaspell Influence
Back: Robe of Protection +2
Arms: Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise
Torso: Knave's Robe (+1 AC vs. slashing)
Waist: Golden Girdle
Feet: Boots of Speed
Weapon: Quarterstaff +3

Buffs:
Potion of Defense
Potion of Power
Potion of Mind ...

IIRC (it's been a while), I did it with a solo mage by pulling at least Semaj off individually... I might have pulled Tazok as well, but he's not difficult. Semaj, I used a potion of magic immunity (the blue one I think-- gives full immunity for 5 rounds or something like that), then pelted him with ...

... with a solo, single-classed mage?

And then do it without cheese like summoned monster spam, exploiting bad pathfinding, or using NPC's removed from party to block him from moving... I mean a direct one-on-one fight.

Did all 3 parts-- IWD, HoW, ToL, and I'm somewhat disappointed... Behlifet was the hardest of the three bosses mainly because you can't start buffed and because, for some reason, I couldn't get spells to register on him at all... so I just buffed myself up to the max (potions + spells) while running ...

[QUOTE=GregtheSleeper]The reason it doens't come up in the 'watch video' menu is that it is a video made using the game engine, unlike those videos...[/QUOTE]

Also known as a "Cutscene". Movies are seperate files in Bink format.

I'm sure this is mentioned somewhere on these boards, but you're at the max character level, 20 (11+9). I'm not sure if this is directly stated in the manual at all, but I do know that the class tables in the back of the manual only go up to level 20, though that doesn't necessarily mean much unless ...

Yeah, force powers rock. I felt like I could do a whole lot more with my dark consular than with my dark guardian as well, but the original poster was asking for advice on a lightsaber-focused build.

Ok, first of all, if you're playing darkside, the max strength bonus is +11, lightside guardian is +10 with the mastery bonus, and it bears mentioning that a darkside guardian gets a +1d8 raw damage bonus for mastery, in addition to the +11 strength. Also, the max bonus to dex is +16. I also know ...

Hehe, I hear ya there, I get a little long winded sometimes.

Anyhow, my main point was that since you already have more than enough defense with minimum Dexterity, and you get the same to-hit bonuses from Dexterity as you do from Strength, I'd go for the added damage gained from raising strength ...

I can fully agree that wisdom and charisma shouldn't be ignored when it comes to attacking powers, and even to a small extent with lightsaber combat characters. For consular characters, I'd suggest going full wisdom rather than anything else, (except charisma at creation, because you can only go up ...

Ok, I guess I'm the only one who does this, but I take all strength and the lowest possible dexterity for four main reasons:

First, it's potentially possible to add 12(the equivalent of 24 dex points) to your armor class just with force powers, but at most 2 damage to your sabre.

Master Speed = +4 ...
