Any recommendations on stat distribution for a Consular/Jedi Master?

Never done a LS caster before, or even picked Consular as a starting class. How should I spend my creation points?

I am reluctant to put points into attributes beyond 16 as the cost goes up from 1:1 to 2:1. Consulars are all about the force so WIS and CHA are all important. CON is nice as it gives HP and allows better implants (which can, in turn, boost your attributes) as is INT for skills.

STR and DEX are less important and also the easiest to find equipment for that boosts them.

So I would suggest WIS and CHA to 16, STR and DEX to 10 (so there is no -ve modifier) and split the rest between CON and INT.

For feats I would suggest going duelling and a single weapon for the attack and defence gains, rather than 2 weapon fighting which only reduces the penalties.

For skills then as you are LS I would definitely go for treat injury and one other class skill (you get so few feats I would be very reluctant to use one to make a skill cross-class).

Likewise for powers, healing (3), force speed (3) and the other 2 powers you will be able to cast as a single action after confronting the jedi masters. Also stasis (you really want the third level, stasis field) and for direct attack force wave.

I am sure others will have different opinions but what matters is what you feel like doing. As long as your force powers are strong you will be OK as a consular.

For your prestige class you could take any of the three but weapon master is interesting as it allows your consular to become a very capable melee fighter on top of your existing force powers (might want to go 2 weapon fighting if you plan on doing this). Jedi master is the obvious choice but doesn't really get you much more than staying as a consular would (if you were DS then consular and sith lord is awesome, as well as fun!).

Have fun!
