KotOR - Leveling up as Jedi

J'aran · 10-24-2004, 04:50 AM

OK, so my character is a scout with CHA 10, INT 12 and 14 in his other attributes. At level 4 I put the bonus point into WIS, getting this stat to 15, and at level 5 I stop leveling him up so as to make the most out of his Jedi class. No problems so far. But now I pass the Jedi tests and become a guardian, and the first two times I leveled up, all my char's stats were 8! What's up with that? They only reverted back to their normal values at scout5/guardian3, when I got another bonus stat point. So all right, all derived values (VP, FP, BAB, etc.) except skill points are calculated retroactively, so the only thing I miss out on are 2 skill points. Now I could live with that, were it not that after this, with my INT back at 12 where it belongs, I still get only one skill point at level up. Shouldn't this be two? One base point for being a Jedi guardian and one for having a +1 INT modifier?

So, to make a long story short, my question is: does someone have any idea why my stats are toned down to 8 when I get my Jedi class, and why I'm only getting one skill point at level up afterwards?

Oh, and I have the latest patch installed and am not using cheats.

Definately a bug. This never happened to me.

Hmm, sounds like a bug to me, becasue this never happened to me either, and that does not make sense.

Hm, I've found out that the thingy where the attributes are lowered during level-up is easily worked around by reloading, quite obvious since it doesn't happen all the time. Strange though.

Bug. Is your game patched?

Hmm, that does sound strange, although that just happened to one of my friends, but even when he re-loaded it was the same, unless he reloads his earliest save, which is way back at the beginning.

You have to reload from before you actually got enough XP for leveling. If you get the big L in your portrait before saving, it's too late and you'll still get all 8s when you load that game.

@ Memnoch: yes, like I said in my first post, fully patched. [img]smile.gif[/img]
