[QUOTE=Koreforce]If you're trying to build a consular that can work in melee, try the GCH build. But, as to your question about the wis and cha, it's all a matter of preference. Both of them add modifiers to the number of force points you gain per level, but there is something different about them. Charisma adds modifiers to the actual effects of the Powers (tell me if I'm wrong), and Wisdom makes them harder to resist, as well as increasing your Will Saves. Also, charisma adds bonuses to the persuade function.[/QUOTE]
actually, i've come up with a character that's actually much more evil and powerful than the gch build..
scoundrel guardian...
the one disadvantage of the gch build is the low strength, which lowers the sheer damage of a guardian...sneak attack makes up the hand to hand damage reduction very nicely...combine with force jump, and you have got to see the damage potential...its beyond evil...
yeah, i think you're right...
the consensus with faq writers seem that they, based on actual game play, suggest that a higher wisdom makes the effect of offensive powers much more powerful...cause lets face it, who doesn't love blasting sith with major force powers, wrapping them from head to toe in crackling arcs of energy, making them twitch in agony???
so they would be testing wis and charisma, and probably according to their tests, higher wisdom is more effective offensively...
oh yeah, one more bit of extreme naughtiness..
insanity is will save, wave is fortitude save...
even if i am playing goody two shoes, and you always should cause the force buffing powers of a light side are all so much better than the dark side, it still costs close to same to use insanity than wave...and the will save probably means that higher wisdom will make the power so much more effective..
so be outwardly a goody two shoes galactic savior, but use insanity powers a lot, chuckling at how you've deceived the jedi council about your true motivations, and enjoying your very powerful dark side powers...

They call me Darth...
Darth Gizka!
Muwahahahahhahahha!!!
