KOTOR 2 - Melee Visas

Here is a DEX-based melee tank version of Visas. I originally created it to accompany a blaster-Jedi main character, so some of the choices (and notes) reflect that.

This main function of this version of Visas is really to not die. Meetra and Mira can primarily handle damage output. So I prioritized things that would help survivability, at the expense of both versatility and damage.

My main character took the full Energy Resistance line, which affects the whole party. So no need for Visas to take higher levels of it.

Despite this being a Light Side run, I gave Visas a lot of Dark Side powers. It seems to fit her backstory better, and she has the Charisma to handle using cross-alignment powers. Plus some of them are really useful for boss fights.

I probably should have taken Force Deflection and Force Redirection earlier than I did. The could be moved to sooner.

Because this is weapon-oriented run, I deferred the more caster-ish powers until later in the build. I could move them up if I find out I really need them.

I tried to build this version of Visas as a robe-wearing (for no DEX bonus limit), hard-to-hit melee fighter. It wasn't terrible, but she was still squishier than I'd hoped, at least until later levels. It didn't help that my main character was DEX based and therefore got dibbs on the best DEX gear, leaving my Visas forced to choose between mediocre DEX gear or decent STR gear until later in the game. In retrospect, I should probably have given her Light Armor Proficiency early for better survivability, then switched to a robe later in the game.
