Since my first (Light Side) game, I've been thinking of a fun character to go 'Dark Side' with. Eventually, I ended up with the Soldier/Consular. Soldier for the feats, Consular for the force powers. My question; which stats should I invest in? Strenght and Wisdom? Dexterity, Charisma and Wisdom? Suggestions would be most welcome [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, since the dark side has more offensive powers, you should invest in more defensive strengths, so your character can just sit back and use level 3 lightning and Kill on all your enemies while you just sit back and relax.
Mostof the "Dark side only" itmes are offensive aswell, so you will most likely be lacking in defense by the end.
But I have only played through the game once so I may have missed alot.

Depends on how you play. If you want to whoop ass with lightsabers and use powers to weaken foes, then go for str-dex-con, if you want to kill everything with force powers go str. wis (or dex)

Charisma is very important to.

It help prevent your powers don't get resisted.

Your jedi class should direct your planning. You'll have the most levels there. Use your soldier class to get those things that your consular class will have trouble getting -- defensive feats. As was mentioned, if you're going consular, do what the real badasses do and sell all your lightsabers. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

*shudders* that's just evil Timber. Am I supposed to beat Darth Malak to death with the blunt end of my blaster pistol? ;) Thanks for the heads up Charisma, Luvian. I was under the impression that it was Wisdom that dictated how effective your powers are. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's both, so it's worth raising both of them.
