Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords/Feats

Equipment

These feats either allow equipment which could not be selected otherwise, or only apply bonuses when particular equipment is used.

Armor Proficiency

Armor Proficiency	Light	Medium	Heavy
Allowed armor	Light	Light and Medium	Light, Medium and Heavy
Prerequisites	None
Granted	Soldier Scout Scoundrel Tech Specialist Main player character (PC)	Soldier Tech Specialist Main PC Jedi Guardian	Soldier

Armor is worn on the head and body. Wookiees and droids cannot wear armor, so these feats cannot be selected by them.

Equipped weapon(s)	Blaster pistol(s) or blaster rifle
Prerequisites	Level 4	Level 8
Short range attack bonus	+1	+2
Enemy attack bonus	+4	+2

These feats train ranged weapon characters to fight effectively in close combat. When the character's target is at short range, they receive an attack bonus. Additionally, when these characters are engaged in melee combat their attackers receive a reduced attack bonus instead of the usual +6.

Deflect

A Jedi Weapon Master with a lightsaber has incredible skill deflecting blaster bolts. This feat grants a 1 + [ (level-1) /2] Blaster Bolt Deflection bonus (level is Jedi Weapon Master level, not total character level).

As a droid gains experience, its programming becomes more adaptable to new situations. This allows it to accommodate more sophisticated upgrades.

Equipped weapon	Unarmed or single blaster pistol, melee weapon or lightsaber
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attack bonus	+1	+2	+3

These feats cannot be selected by an Expert Droid.

Finesse

Finesse	Melee Weapons	Lightsabers
Equipped weapon(s)	Melee weapon(s)	Lightsaber(s)
Prerequisites	None	Jedi

The character has mastered using grace and speed instead of raw power. The character can add either their Dexterity or Strength bonus to their chance to hit, whichever is higher.

Finesse: Melee Weapons does not apply to unarmed combat.

Increase Melee Damage

Increase Melee Damage	I	II	III
Equipped weapon(s)	Unarmed, melee weapon(s) or lightsaber(s)
Prerequisites	Jedi Weapon Master	Level 8 Jedi Weapon Master	Level 15 Jedi Weapon Master
Damage bonus	+2	+4	+6
Granted	Jedi Weapon Master	Level 8 Jedi Weapon Master	Level 15 Jedi Weapon Master

Weapon Masters can focus their strength to deliver powerful strikes.

Jedi Defense

Feat	Jedi Defense	Advanced	Master
Equipped weapon(s)	Lightsaber(s)
Prerequisites	Jedi	Level 4 Jedi	Level 8 Jedi
Blaster Bolt Deflection bonus	0	+3	+6
Granted	Jedi

These feats allow a character with an equipped lightsaber to deflect blaster bolts at any time. When a character is fired upon, an opposed roll is made against the attack. If the result is greater than the attack roll, the blaster bolt is deflected. If the attack is beaten by 10 or more, the bolt is deflected back at the enemy.

The roll occurs after an attack roll is made against defense, so Blaster Bolt Deflection becomes less and less useful as defense increases (since blaster bolts are increasingly likely to miss regardless of whether or not they are deflected or returned). Even without high defense and low chance to hit, blaster bolts normally apply damage which can be countered by Energy Resistance.

While returning blaster bolts is a signature move of the Jedi, their damage pales in comparison to that from other sources.

Blaster Bolt Deflection does not occur when debilitated.

Precise Shot

Precise Shot	I	II	III	IV	V
Equipped weapon(s)	Blaster pistol(s) or blaster rifle
Prerequisites	Level 4	Level 8	Level 12	Level 16	Level 20

Prerequisites	Scout
Granted at level	1	5	9	13	17	21	25	29
Attack bonus	+1	+2	+3	+4	+5	+6	+7	+8

Scouts are very effective with blaster pistols and blaster rifles.

Two-Weapon Fighting

Feat	Two-Weapon Fighting	Improved	Master
Equipped weapon(s)	Two blaster pistols, melee weapons or lightsabers, or a double-bladed melee weapon or lightsaber
Prerequisites	None	Level 4	Level 8
Attack penalty	-6	-4	-2

These feats reduce the attack penalty of a character wielding a double-bladed weapon or two weapons (one in each hand). The normal penalties of -6 (main hand)/-10 (off hand) are reduced.

Use of a "balanced" weapon in the off hand can further reduce the attack penalty by 2/0, resulting in 0 main hand penalty when mastered.

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting	I	II	III
Equipped weapon(s)	Two blaster pistols, melee weapons or lightsabers, or a double-bladed melee weapon or lightsaber
Prerequisites	Jedi Weapon Master or Sith Marauder	Jedi Weapon Master or Sith Marauder	Jedi Weapon Master or Sith Marauder

Average	2.5	5	7.5	10	12.5	15	17.5	20

The character has gained extra experience in hand-to-hand combat and is able to strike much harder than other combatants. This feat is gained automatically at prerequisite levels.

Bao-Dur and Handmaiden have Special Training. If they become Jedi, they retain the Unarmed Specialist feats already granted but future feats are granted at Jedi level, not character level. For example, at level 6 they both have Unarmed Specialist II and they would be granted Unarmed Specialist III at level 10; however, if they become Jedi at level 6 then they will not be granted it until level 16 (Jedi level 10).
