This section provides an alternative perspective on character builds and Feat rankings for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, contributed by user DaSarcasticGuy.

Alternative Stat Builds:

All-Out Offensive Warrior: Focuses on Strength for massive offense, using the Force primarily for utility like Heal and Speed.

• Build 1: Str 16, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 12
• Build 2: Str 16, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 8, Wis 10, Cha 10

All-Out Force Wizard: Maximizes Force power with high Wisdom and Charisma.

• Build 1: Str 8, Dex 12, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 16
• Build 2: Str 8, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 8, Wis 16, Cha 16
• Build 3: Str 8, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 14

Rounded Offensive Jedi: A balanced build with strong Force capabilities and decent offense.

• Build: Str 10, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 14 (Can swap Str and Dex based on playstyle. If skills are not a priority, Intelligence can be lowered to 8.)

Note on Wisdom: Extra points can be allocated to Wisdom to reach 20, providing a significant boost.

Critique of Feat Grades:

Skill-Boosting Feats: These are considered F-tier. Skills are generally not crucial in the game, and essential ones are easily acquired with normal skill points. Wasting a Feat on skill boosts is highly inefficient unless for a very specific character theme.

Dueling Feat: Disagrees with an F grade, arguing it's valuable for defensive characters, those adhering to a single lightsaber style, and well-rounded characters on Hard difficulty. While not out-damaging Two Weapon Fighting, the +3 attack and defense bonus is a solid trade-off for the -2 to hit penalty of an extra attack. Suggested ranking: A-.

Conditioning Feat: Considered an A grade by the original FAQ, DaSarcasticGuy rates it a solid C, viewing it as a filler Feat rather than a top-tier choice.

Other Feats:

• Ranged feats are noted as good for secondary characters.
• Dual pistol-wielding Jedi benefit greatly from ranged feats.
