When i use my redular sword i have a -3 at 1 meter. When i use my Curved Sword i get a -8 and when i use my Club i looted off of a tusken i get a -28


I am currently at Expert One Hand


there was no change in the modifier when i got that level. Is the +10 acuracy invalid? i thought at least i would have a + something after i got expert on my curved sword.

Yeah i get pissed off to no end by this.


In fact you can geta better modifier by taking a step back from a creature. Problem is that the creature will then take a step forwards. Thus you never actually get your true best modifiers (unlike ranged people).


The Gaderiffi Baton's optimal range is quite a few feet back, but no melee creature will let you stand there and swing at it, so you are stuck with -28. It is a design flaw, but I doubt they will fix it as it only affects us worthless melee weapon users.

You still get all your bonuses. They just don't appear over the creatures head. The only bonuses you see are the bonus/penalty from range and posture.


You will definitely benefit from a +10 accuracty skil mod. It just won't show up as a number in game. I really wish they would show the absolute bonus in game, but alas, they don't.
