KOTOR 2 - Caster Visas - Buffer


Here is a CHA-based caster version of Visas. I originally created it to accompany a melee Sentinel/Marauder main character, so some of the choices (and notes) reflect that.

This main function of this version of Visas is to buff a melee-oriented main character. A verion of Visas with different priorities (direct damage, for instance) would simply take different Force Powers.

Despite this being created for a Dark Side run, I gave Visas a lot of Light Side powers. She has the Charisma to handle using cross-alignment powers. And I bumped CHA at every opportunity. This increased both the Force Power DC (less chance enemies resist powers, as she does have a few to use against enemies) and the cross-alignment penalty (making the buffs cost less, effectively increasing her Force Point pool, without actually increasing it like WIS would). Alternatively, I could have bumped WIS a couple of points without really hurting CHA much.

If I intended this Visas to engage in combat at all, I should have given her Finesse: Melee Weapons. But I don't. In fact, I intend to give her a blaster so that the AI doesn't run her into the middle of fights, even though I don't expect her to do much damage with it. I mostly took feats that help her stay alive.

Force Powers are mainly buffs and a few stuns. The whole point of this playthrough is for the main character to kill things via lightsaber. Visas standing in the back shocking things to death would be effective, but would defeat the point. Visas does take a few single-target offensive powers for boss fights, though. Mostly because I want her to get to hurt Darth Nihilus back.

This build was created to accompany a skill-oriented main character who didn't need help with any skills Visas could easily provide. So I just took some skills that seemed in character.

Honestly, I probably shouldn't have bothered making this. It turned out to be just my stunner Visas with a couple of Force Powers shuffled around. Well, plus a few different feats, but that's mostly because stunner Visas needed Repair as a class skill for that particular playthrough. All that would have been easy enough to rearrange on the fly. But here we are.
