Strength needed anymore?

[Achilles D'Aix]

With melee then Lightsaber finesse and a high Dex rating is there any reason to get Str above 10, particularly at the begining?

[Drazin]

Not really.

Unless you want the added damage strength offers.

And that really isn't a lot.

 

So no it's not worth it unless you want to use melee weapons very often at the beginning.

Aaah, but then theres also finesse: melee weapons, so....

Strength, IMO is actually "weak" in TSL... taking advantage of the finesse feats are well worth the cost... plus my base 10 strength character had a 30+ strength by the end of the game. There's more than enough implants and stims to keep you from getting sand kicked in your face (not to mention your bonus abilities saber crystals)

 

Use your ability points for better stats on Dexterity (Finesse), Intelligence (more skills), Charisma & Wisdom (Force 'fortitude and effectiveness)...

Verdict: No. The Finesse Feats render it obsolete. It's ironic that I thought it was the most important atttribute in the first.

 

And welcome to the Forums!

But I would rather put it into something else that's going to be worth it in the long run.
