Quick notes
- Support the weapon style you equip. Two weapons and double-bladed weapons require attention to attack penalties.
- Give a Jedi more than one useful response. Healing, control, droid attacks and self-buffs answer different situations.
- Match equipment to the incoming threat. Energy shields can buy time against suitable attacks, but different shields protect against different damage types.
- Check the workbench before a hard mission. Upgradeable weapons and lightsabers can gain useful bonuses from fitted components.
Support the weapon style you equip
| Style | Supporting feat line | Equipment check |
|---|---|---|
| One one-handed weapon | Dueling | Keep the second hand empty |
| Two one-handed weapons | Two-Weapon Fighting | Compare both hands’ attack bonuses |
| Double-bladed weapon | Two-Weapon Fighting | Do not treat it as a Dueling weapon |
| Ranged specialist | Relevant ranged feats | Match the weapon category and attack ability |
