Well they are weapon spesfic skills meaning swords thoughness only works if you are holding a sword and such like that

I posted this in the discussion forum, but it got buried and I hate bumping. So I am posting it here.

My character is TKA 4/2/3/3, Novice Pistoleer, and Smuggler 0/3/1/0. Why is it that whenever I fight unarmedI am tougher than nails, but the second I equip a pistol I become the biggest wuss ever born? If I am a tough SoB from all the fighting I've done, it shouldn't matter what I'm holding in my hand. I understand that all the toughness mods are sepperated to keep them from stacking and allowing someone to have uber 100% armor to everything, but why does unarmed toughness have to only apply when fighting unarmed (or 1h while 1h etc...)? Why can't it just be that no matter what weapon I have out, my highest toughness mod can't be applied? If I have +35 unarmed toughness and +30 two-handed toughness, damage should recieve a 35% reduction no matter what weapon I have equipped. The same should apply to the new center of being mods.

What does everyone think?

you just answered your own question slick

jiub

unarmed toughness only applies when you are unarmed...equip a pistol and you better have some armor on.

psst.. thats why its called "unarmed toughness"

if it didnt then melee classes would have no advantage whatsoever. Toughness allows them to not get creamed instantaneously by a krayt, whereas you with your pistol are toast if you get too close. not that evena master tka would survive that without buffs considering how fast it moves

the point that I am trying to make is it shouldn't be unarmed toughness in that it only works when you are unarmed, but that it should be unarmed toughness because you got it from all your fighting unarmed. Leave the names so that all the toughness mods don't stack, and then allow them to work no matter what weapon you have equipped.

dont you get unarmed toughness and melee defense modifiers? when mastered,

get pistol stances 4 +40 to melee defense

Ok I'm reading up on the forums and looking around and people use the terms loosely, etc
What do the following skill mods do? I know its a nooby question and that it's probably been answered before, but remember that who ever answers this gets the antidote =)
- Jedi toughness/lightsaber toughness
- Private_jedi_difficulty/saber_difficulty (what the hell?)

Thanks a bunch!

Jedi toughness lowers the amount of damage you take from attacks, not sure how much based on the +# skill though maybe +5 means -5%? Doesn't count towards Lightsaber attacks though

Lightsaber toughness lowers damage of melee attacks towards you. I assume this does count against LS attacks against you

Neither one provides any protection from lightsaber damage.
