With this build, I wanted to do a couple of things that I haven’t done in a KOTOR build before. First and foremost, I wanted to make a Scoundrel -> Guardian build. The cool thing about this build is that if you use Guardian’s Force Jump on an enemy, it receives the damage boost from Scoundrel’s Sneak Attack! It’s one of the best examples of class synergy in KOTOR, if you ask me. Secondly, I wanted to make a build that focused on critical hits, which in itself involves two things that I’ve never used in a build: dual lightsabers and the Critical Strike feats. Now then, onto the build!

Treek - ranged but likes to be in melee range - blaster rifle - can purchase contract on fleet station in Cartel Bazaar Companions from expansions Lana Beniko - melee - Force user - single lightsaber Theron Shan - ranged - dual blasters Koth Vortena - ranged - blaster rifle Senya Tirall - melee - Force user - single lightsaber. The minigun is one of the best spray-and-pray guns in the game. Give a minigun to one of your pawns with the trait trigger happy and watch clumped up groups of raiders fall to the ground. Trigger happy will halve the reload time of the pawn, but reduce their accuracy be 25% – which we don’t really care about because the minigun is already inaccurate and in CQC accuracy is just a bonus. The most common Advanced Melee Weapons are bladed Vibro weapons, with ultrasonic generators built into their hilts or handles. A Vibro weapon's ultrasonic blade gives the weapon more cutting power with less effort. The following Advanced Melee Weapons are available in the Star Wars Saga Edition Core Rulebook: 1: Can be Thrown 1 Additional Advanced Melee Weapons 1.1 Knights of the Old Republic.

The Ravager

The basic battle plan for the Ravager has you initially casting Force Speed and striking an enemy with your regular attack in order to reap the benefits of Force Jump and by extension, Sneak Attack. Once you’re in the fray, start spamming Critical Strike. Allies provide general support. The details of the build are as follows:

Class: Scoundrel -> Guardian. Like I said, this build is all about this class combo. You’ll want to take Scoundrel up to level 7 for Sneak Attack IV; then go Guardian the rest of the way.

Alignment: Light Side. Most of the dark side force powers are offensive in nature, which doesn’t mesh well with the Ravager’s poor force abilities. On the other hand, the light side offers some nice buffing powers that this build could really use.

Skills: As a Scoundrel, invest as many skill points into Persuade as you can and save the rest. Once you become a Guardian, the amount of skill points you get on levelups will decrease dramatically, but you’ll unlock Treat Injury as a class skill, so start investing the skill points you’ve saved up in there.

Teammates: Carth and Zaalbar. While Jolee and Juhani would be the best party members for this build, I like to switch up my party members from playthrough to playthrough to keep things interesting. With Carth, keep developing him as a dual blaster pistol user and make sure he gets the Rapid Shot feats. With Zaalbar, give him the Flurry feats and the best double-bladed melee weapon you have. If you want more details on how to develop these party members, this guide has good builds for both of them.

Attributes

STR:16 DEX:10 CON:14 INT:8 WIS:14 CHA:14

That’s what you’ll want your starting stats to look like. Put whatever attribute points you get on levelups into Strength. Since it’ll determine your damage, accuracy, and chance to stun with Critical Strike, it’s your most important stat. I would’ve invested more into Dexterity, but since Critical Strike carries a hefty -5 penalty to defense, this character will never be particularly dodgy. To compensate, I invested a decent bit into Constitution to ensure that I’d have a good amount of Vitality. This build doesn’t use Skills that much, hence why nothing’s invested into Intelligence. Finally, you’ll want to invest some into Wisdom and Charisma so you can have a somewhat decent pool of force points as well as a nice bonus to Persuade.

Feats

Listed in order of priority. All of them should be maxed out unless indicated otherwise.

Two-Weapon Fighting: Since you’ll be dual-wielding lightsabers, you’ll want to max this out ASAP in order to avoid the hefty attack penalties associated with dual-wielding.

Critical Strike: Like I said, scoring critical hits is a major part of this build, so this is naturally a high priority feat.

Outlook attachments greyed out. Weapon Focus/Specialization – Lightsaber: More attack and damage for your weapon of choice? Yes please!

Jedi Defense: It’s great being able reflect blaster bolts back where they came from. Offense and defense at the same time.

Armor Proficiency (Medium): At level two I found myself with a feat to invest but nothing particularly good to invest it into, so I put it here so that I could use the Stabilizer Mask come endgame. That being said, if you’re on PC and can thus use the Circlet of Saresh instead, I recommend picking up Toughness instead of this feat.

Kotor Best Weapons

Force Powers

Listed in order of priority. All of them should be maxed out unless indicated otherwise.

Cure/Heal: Personally, I have all my light side characters pick this up ASAP, as it’s the most convenient way to heal.

Force Speed: Burst of Speed isn’t terribly useful (aside from getting around faster), but the extra hit(s) from Knight/Master Speed make it the most OP force power in the entire game.

Energy Resistance: This is a weird one. Unlock a cricket zte phone. Judging by its name, you’d think it would provide resistance against energy-based attacks, but according to its description, it doesn’t. However, if you actually use it, you’ll see that it does, thus making it a very useful power.

Force Valor: Hard to go wrong with a boost to all of the party’s attributes.

Force Armor: A little extra defense is always nice.

*Minor Spoilers* Any Offensive Power: By level 19, you should have all the powers listed above maxed out, leaving you with one left to choose. Since the final boss can drain the life out of the prisoners in the room to fully heal himself, I recommend going with an offensive force power that can destroy the cells containing them before he can do so. You can go with Drain Life to steal his own tactic, but if you don’t want to grab any dark side powers, then Throw Lightsaber is your only other option. *End Spoilers*
