This file details some considerations to make for a Disciple build, and may eventually contain a few Disciple builds from different playthroughs. We'll see how far I take it.
Okay, let's be honest. He's so freaking boring that I'll probably never do a build for him. Or take him off the ship. I might be able to use him for crafting, but I'm not sure I can stand him that long. He's basically just Jedi Wikipedia, except that Wikipedia is interesting. I'm not even sure why I spent this long typing all this. I'm gonna go do something more fun now, like see if my toenails need trimming.
My daughter played KOTOR 2 and told me that Mical was a good guy and I was being harsh. So I worked up a build to give him a chance. Maybe she's right.
The big question with Disciple is what role you want him to play in your group. He starts as a Soldier and can become a Consular. So he can be a lot of things, including:
- Heavy armoring wearing melee combatant
- Robe wearing Force power specialist
- Various sorts of hybrids
Making him a dedicated melee combatant is easy. Just never change him to a Jedi. Making him a Force power specialist is also easy. You can gain sufficient influence to turn him to a Jedi through conversation, immediately. Making him a hybrid is where things get tricky. Maybe you want a melee combatant who can cast Force powers that aren't restricted by armor. That's great, but once you turn him to a Jedi you can't advance as a Soldier anymore. So you're left trying to cram in all your Force powers near the end of the game, and you don't get to use him the way you'd really like for very long. Maybe you want a Force powerhouse who's also good with a lightsaber. Solider helps with the necessary feats, but that delays getting your Force powers, again only allowing you to see your fully realized plan later in the game. Ultimately, you just have to decide what you want from him, and play accordingly.
