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

Intelligence modifier (INT) resulting from points allocated at character generation and on level up determines how many skill points a class is granted at those times:

Character generation

Class	Jedi Guardian	Jedi Sentinel	Jedi Consular
Skill points	(1+INT) * 4	(3+INT) * 4	(2+INT) * 4

Level up

Skill points
1 + INT		2 + INT	3 + INT	4 + INT
Jedi Guardian Soldier Combat Droid	Expert Droid Jedi Weapon Master Sith Marauder	Jedi Consular Jedi Master Sith Lord	Jedi Sentinel Scout Jedi Watchman Sith Assassin	Scoundrel Tech Specialist

Characters are always granted at least four skill points at character generation, and at least one on level up:

Minimum Intelligence	Skill points
Minimum Intelligence	1 + INT	2 + INT	3 + INT	4 + INT
8	1	1	2	3
10	1	2	3	4
12	2	3	4	5
14	3	4	5	6
16	4	5	6	7
18	5	6	7	8

All points do not have to be invested at character generation or level up, so they can be saved for a future level up. After becoming a different class, a character’s skill points on level up are determined by the new class, but the class skills of the earlier class are retained and those of the new class are gained. Class skills cost one point to raise one rank, while cross-class skills cost two points to raise one rank:

Skill	Computer	Demo	Stealth	Aware	Persuade	Repair	Security	Treat
Attribute modifier	Intel	Intel	Dexterity	Wisdom	Charisma	Intel	Intel	Wisdom
Jedi Guardian	2	1	2	1	1	2	2	1
Jedi Sentinel	1	2	1	1	1	2	1	1
Jedi Consular	2	2	2	1	1	1	2	1
Soldier	2	1	2	1	2	2	2	1
Scout	1	1	2	1	2	1	2	1
Scoundrel	2	1	1	1	1	2	1	2
Tech Specialist	1	1	2	1	2	1	1	2
Combat Droid	1	1		1		1	1
Expert Droid	1	2		1		1	1
Weapon Master	2	1	2	1	1	2	2	1
Jedi Watchman	1	2	1	1	1	2	1	1
Jedi Master	2	2	2	1	1	1	2	1
Sith Marauder	2	1	2	1	1	2	2	1
Sith Assassin	1	1	1	1	1	2	1	2
Sith Lord	2	2	2	1	1	1	2	1

Class Skill feats can change a cross-class skill to a class skill. Points can be invested in class skills to maximum rank equal to level + 3, while they can only be invested in cross-class skills to maximum rank equal to [ (level + 3) / 2].

If you select Auto Level Up or Recommended, skills are given the following priority when investing points:

Jedi Guardian	Jedi Sentinel	Jedi Consular	Soldier	Scout	Scoundrel	Tech Specialist	Combat Droid	Expert Droid
Treat Injury	Stealth	Persuade	Treat Injury	Computer	Stealth	Repair	Repair	Repair
Demolitions	Computer	Treat Injury	Awareness	Demolitions	Demolitions	Treat Injury	Awareness	Computer
Awareness	Persuade	Repair	Demolitions	Repair	Security	Awareness	Computer	Security
Persuade	Awareness	Awareness	Repair	Awareness	Awareness	Computer	Security	Demolitions
Stealth	Security	Computer	Security	Treat Injury	Treat Injury	Demolitions	Demolitions	Awareness
Repair	Treat Injury	Stealth	Computer	Security	Repair	Stealth
Security	Demolitions	Security	Stealth	Stealth	Computer	Security
Computer	Repair	Demolitions	Persuade	Persuade	Persuade

However, unlike at character generation, class skills take priority over cross-class skills: for example, for an Expert Droid like T3-M4, Awareness is prioritized over Demolitions until he has the Class Skill: Demolitions feat.

Weapon Master	Jedi Watchman	Jedi Master	Sith Marauder	Sith Assassin	Sith Lord

Computer Use

Related Attribute:
Intelligence

Computer Use allows a character to slice computer programs using disposable logic rams called computer spikes. A character might disable gun turrets or flood a patrol area, with more complicated tasks requiring more spikes. A high rank in this skill reduces the number of spikes required by 1 (to a minimum of 1) for every 4 points total, including attribute score modifiers.

Computer Use is a class skill for the following:

Minimum rank 15 is needed for your main character to fully upgrade T3-M4.

Demolitions

Related Attribute:
Intelligence

Demolitions can be used to set, recover or disarm mines. Such devices range in difficulty from minor (DC10 to set) to devastating (DC30 to set). Attempting to disarm the mine adds +5 to the DC. Attempting to recover the mine adds +10 to the DC. This skill cannot be used untrained.

Demolitions is a class skill for the following:

Difficulty Classes for setting, disabling or recovering mines are reduced by 5 on Easy but increased by 5 on Difficult. According to Feedback, DC increases to disarm and recover mines are cumulative rather than separate:

Mine	Easy			Normal			Difficult
Mine	Set	Disable	Recover	Set	Disable	Recover	Set	Disable	Recover
Minor	5	10	20	10	15	25	15	20	30
Average	10	15	25	15	20	30	20	25	35
Strong	15	20	30	20	25	35	25	30	40
Deadly	20	25	35	25	30	40	30	35	45
Devastating	25	30	40	30	35	45	35	40	50

Successfully setting, disabling or recovering mines requires that the sum of Demolitions skill rank and a d20 roll is equal to or greater than the DC. When not in combat 20 is always rolled, so minimum skill rank is DC - 20.

A maximum of 15 mines can be set in any map. While friendly mines can normally be recovered without a DC check, after leaving a map and returning to it any mines left behind can only be recovered after a successful DC check (although they remain friendly).

Hostile mines must be detected by passing an Awareness check before they can be disabled or recovered. Disabling a mine always grants experience equal to 10 * user level, while that granted for recovering a mine depends on its strength and user level:

XP * level	User level
XP * level	Minor	Average	Strong	Deadly	Devastating
15	1-5	1-10	1-15	1-20	1-25
10	> 5	> 10	> 15	> 20	> 25

Mines can also be set to open locks instead of bashing or Security. Unlike bashing this doesn't result in broken items, but unlike Security it doesn't grant any experience.

The only Devastating mines that can be disabled or recovered are actually Deadly mines in all but name so, unless you want to recover your own Devastating mines after leaving then returning to an area, your party only needs to be able to disable or recover Deadly mines. Your main character only solos some areas containing Average mines, which can also be triggered using a Stun Droid power.

Stealth

Related Attribute:
Dexterity

Stealth governs the use of camouflage devices to enter Stealth Mode. If a character equips such a device and activates Stealth Mode, opponents must make an Awareness check versus the character's Stealth skill or be unable to detect them, even if the character is in a direct line of sight. A character in Stealth Mode can set, disable and recover mines. Party members will not automatically enter combat while in this mode. Combat cancels Stealth Mode. Stealth Mode will not work without a camouflage unit. Units of higher quality grant a bonus to the skill. This skill cannot be used untrained.

Stealth is a class skill for the following:

Jedi Sentinel

Scoundrel

Jedi Watchman

Sith Assassin

Awareness

Related Attribute:
Wisdom

Awareness governs the ability of a character to spot objects or enemies hidden by Stealth. If a successful check of this skill is made against the Stealth skill of an enemy or the DC of a mine, the enemy or object is noticed and becomes visible. Awareness is always active, but results are best while a character is moving slowly. Running imparts a -5 penalty to any checks of the skill.

Awareness is a class skill for all classes.

According to Feedback, Difficulty Classes for detecting mines are reduced by 5 on Easy but increased by 5 on Difficult.

Mine	Easy	Normal	Difficult
Minor	5	10	15
Average	10	15	20
Strong	15	20	25
Deadly	20	25	30
Devastating	25	30	35

Successfully detecting hostile mines requires that the sum of Awareness skill rank and a d20 roll is equal to or greater than the DC. When not in combat 20 is always rolled, so minimum skill rank is DC - 20. Although running imparts a -5 penalty (maximum roll 15), this isn't an issue if you stop briefly every 30 meters or so: for example, pause upon turning a corner, reaching a junction or entering a room (if opening a door hasn't already obliged you to do so).

The only Devastating mines that need to be detected are actually Deadly mines in all but name so your party only needs to be able to detect those. Your main character only solos some areas containing Average mines.

Persuade

Related Attribute:
Charisma

Only the main player character can select this skill during level-up. Persuade options appear in dialogue when interesting or sensitive information is available that a character might otherwise be reluctant to reveal. When selected, rank in this skill is compared with how extreme the request is (Difficulty Class low, medium, or high, relative to player level). A guard might easily agree to increase a bounty, but convincing him to leave his post would be much harder.

Persuade is a class skill for the following:

Jedi

Scoundrel

Prestige classes

Repair

Related Attribute:
Intelligence

Repair allows a character to fix disabled mechanical devices like droids using disposable packages of parts. The number of part kits required increases with the difficulty of the repair. This skill reduces the number of parts required by 1 (to a minimum of 1) for every 4 points total, including attribute score modifiers. This skill also modifies the amount of vitality points recovered when party member droids use repair kits, advanced repair kits, and construction kits on themselves to repair combat damage.

Repair is a class skill for the following:

Minimum rank 21 is needed for your main character to fully upgrade T3-M4.

Minimum rank 20 is needed for your main character to receive 100% of an item's component value when it's broken down by any character using a workbench.

Security

Related Attribute:
Intelligence

Security is used to access electronic locking devices. Once a character invests points in this skill, it becomes one of the default options on targeted doors and containers. Security spikes can grant a bonus to the skill, and any in inventory will also appear as a default option on targeted doors and containers. Characters with no points invested cannot attempt to use this skill.

Security is a class skill for the following:

According to Feedback, Difficulty Classes for locks are reduced by 5 on Easy but increased by 5 on Difficult. Successfully opening a lock requires that the sum of Security skill rank and a d20 roll is equal to or greater than the DC. When not in combat 20 is always rolled, so minimum skill rank is DC - 20.

Successful use of Security to open a lock normally grants experience equal to 5 * user level. However, more difficult locks have DCs based on main character level, and successfully opening these grants experience equal to 10 * user level:

Combat Difficulty	Easy	Normal	Difficulty
Difficulty Class	23 + main level	28 + main level	33 + main level
Minimum rank	3 + main level	8 + main level	13 + main level

Treat Injury

Related Attribute:
Wisdom

Treat Injury improves the amount of damage healed when a medpac is used, adding the modified rank to the number of vitality points healed. Advanced medpacs and life support packs apply multipliers to the user's skill, increasing the amount healed again.

Treat Injury is a class skill for the following:
