Hey, I'm a Rodian too...let's just say it's fun to be one....My template is Master Fencer / Master Swordsman / Master Brawler / TKA 4-0-0-0 / Novice Medic ...I use both of the +10 to One Handed and +10 to Two Handedand that +15 def vs dizzy isn't to shabby.
Yes, are mind does suck...all u need to do is get mind buffed from dancers and musicians, drink some brandys, and if u get in danger have some canapes and ahrisa ready...wouldn't hurt to have some muon gold either....really in pvp..it doesn't matter that much cause with 3 canapes, 2 brandys, and mind buffs, ur mind is maxed and u only use 1 mind per special attack....so it doesn't really matter that much except that we can't heal our mind fast enough and don't have as much mind as the rest do...
anyway i enjoy being a Rodian cause we're rare ... hardly ever see any ... i like being "different"...anyway hope some of this helps....have fun
RODIANS RULE!!!!! 
4 EVER!!!!!
4 EVER!!!!!

Thats odd, I have a Rodian TKM/CH and never had any serious problems. Mind is of course our weakness, but it is not impossible to overcome that deficiency. My own experience has been that the bonuses/penalties in this game are for the most part marginal at best. I have to rely on having armor that has received decent encumberance slices, good brandy and canapes, but I have been able to keep up with damage output and downtime compared to every other TKM I have grouped with/PVP'ed against. I guess it just comes down to adjusting your playstyle and special needs to the race you wanna play.

Oreet;
Two +700 Brandies? I hope you meant the two of them *total* +700, cuz I've never seen a Brandy higher than about +425 or so.

It's little comfort, but TH has confirmed the human 400-1100 range for all stats is a known issue and will be addressed in the combat balance (along with every other problem anyone has ever brought up). At least it's not intentional, and I imagine all species' HAM distribution will get a revamp.
Just to dispel a myth I saw in this thread, Wookiees have considerably worse secondaries than humans as well. Our only stat that can exceed them is our health bar (not substats). We have a few more points to spread around, but have to work within caps just like every other non-human.

hehe - I don't know about that, but my Jedi is a Bothan. I made him a Bothan for the sole reason I'm tired of seeing nothing but human jedi running around. Sure, humans have the upper hand in combat due to the way they can migrate their stats, but most of the servers are humans. BORING.
Besides, I RP my Jedi and it's kind of fun to see the reaction of people when they realize someone actually made a Bothan Jedi.

I'd have to agree to that. I am playing a Bothan and even though I found out that we really do get the short end of the stick in terms of stat distribution and bonuses, I will not reroll. I must admit I've considered it, but buffing makes low Health and Action related stats irrelevant and Mind can be improved with Food, Drink and Spice. I play a great 2H swordsman, and it is fun watching the small fella beat up ona poor rancor or Krayt! Only disadvantage: do not even consider doing any specials when not mind buffed. I've killed myself on two instances by running a CoB macro and doing specials on a critter while my brandy ran out.. It went so fast it was a joke.
All that being said, I agree some balancing could be done and more significant bonuses could be added to all races to make them more different. That would probably induce people to choose other races.
Cheers,
baskerville

I play as trandosan and absolutly love it. skill mods make great tkm. But due to the limit on secondaries they have the worst quickness and stamina in the game. Which makes it really tough to grind out the entertainer profession. Im always eting or stamina buffing. lol. But the mind is nor bad you can get 1000/500/600. And as for health and there secondaries besides crazy humans only the wookiees are better.
