Technical question: saving throws, powers and stats

Post by Alcina »

The in game descriptions for WIS says that 'The Force powers of a character with high WIS are harder to resist'. Am I right in thinking that this means that WIS applied a modifier to the saving rolls of enemies on whom you use your Force powers?

And CHA include the information that it 'increases the potency of your Force powers'. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean it adds a damage bonus? Does it so anything else, like affect saving rolls?

And am I right in thinking the effects, whatever they are, produced by these two stats, stack?

that always confuses me as in the power descriptions it clearly says that the wisdom and charisma modifiers are added together when the power is used. i think the only real difference is wisdom increases your will saves, charisma increases your persuade and gives your allies a bonus to their hit rolls.

yeah i think your right about that.

edit: wisdom also gives bonuses to treat injury and, i think, some other skills whereas charisma only gives a bonus to persuade.

Does anyone know what the figures are for how much charisma increases your allies Hit Rolls. And on a nearly irrelecvent to this board topic, can anyone tell me if this happens in KOTOR as well (it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere for KOTOR...)

think the bonus you get to the hit rolls is the same as the +whatever bonus charisma gives you to your persuade skill. not sure about kotor1, sorry, cos been awhile since i played it.
