Things to Know - Before Starting

When creating your character, consider the class and its attribute dependencies. Soldiers gain the most vitality per level and are best suited for melee combat. Scoundrels excel with blasters and benefit from higher intelligence for skill points, while Scouts have the least vitality and are best as support characters using blasters.
