My current goal is Master Ranger/Master Rifleman. I also want a second character so I can play a Creature Handler as well. I know I could just make one on another server but I like playing with you guys so I really want him to be on Naritus as well.
My M.Ranger/M.Rifleman template won't allow me enough points to get the 6 trees of FS that I need though. If I stop where I am, 3 boxes short of Master Ranger, and drop one tree of Rifleman, which means losing Master also, then I will have enough to do the 6 FS trees.
However, I vaguely remember being told or reading that you can't surrender FS points once you spend them so I could not go back and get Master Rifleman back and finish out Master Ranger later. The thought being to get to Jedi to unlock the second character then go back and really make the first like I wanted him from the start.
The main reason I want to get Jedi is to unlock the second character. Not so much so I can be a Jedi.
So if it's true that you can't surrender FS points how do I get to Jedi and be Master Ranger/Master Rifleman.
Also if I go with the Jedi template below it shows me as only CL65. If I surrender the Rifle skills that I need to get the FS do I lose the Combat Levels I have now? I am currently CL73.
My current template: http://home.earthlink.net/~tbrents/T-saint.htm
Possible Jedi template (before dropping the FS to go back to MR/MR): http://home.earthlink.net/~tbrents/Jedi.htm
Any thoughts or suggestions?

It does. That template leaves 33 skillpoints. Not much weapon speed or accuracy there, and no duelist stance, but still probably the best would-be jedi template that includes master ranger.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe all you need for the alternate slot is to spend 24 skillpoints on FS skills and pass the padawan trials. That should mean that Master Ranger/BH2444 is feasible (and that gives you duelist stance). That is the direction I am heading in right now in fact.
Master Ranger/Master Creature Handler also permits you to buy the FS skills and have some points left over. In fact you can do MCH/MRanger/Medic0200 and get Bacta Toss to heal you and your pets (althoug hardly very well).

After mulling over everyones advice, here and at my guild forums, this is my current plan:
1) Finish out Master Ranger to get to CL80
2) Get +5 Distance/+5 Accuracy Cybernetic Arm (cyborgSureShot) from My'ydril Caverns on Kashyyk
- Will need this to offset the loss of the Rifleman skills later
3) 5 Content badges to get glowy - have everything else I need
- Jabba's Badge of Courage
- Jabba's Badge of Heroism
- Jabba's Badge of Valor
- Jabba's Themepark - Badge of Trust
- Rebel Themepark
4) Begin transfering Rifleman/Marksman skill points to FS trees
5) Unlock Jedi and get second character
6) Begin transferring the rest of Rifleman/Marksman skills to Creature Handler & Medic trees
- When finished I will be:
Master Ranger
Master Creature Handler
Medic 0200
Combat Prowess 4400
Enhanced Reflexes 4044
Heightened Senses 0040
Alliance Starfighter Pilot Novice
7) Get/Train 3 Uber pets
Other goals:
Finish getting supplies to make Creature Recycler
Quest to get Kashyyk Camo Kit
Outcast quest to get LD-1 Rifle
3 Racing Badge POI's
Get the other 12 Exploration POI Badges that I don't have yet
Hermit Quests
High Tech Field Base Schematic for equipment factory
The other 4 Recyclers maybe
In the end I will end up losing all my rifle skills but I will get 3 pets to fight for me and some minor healing ability.
Of course while doing all this I will be helping my girlfriend, who just bought SWG,build up her character so all this will probably take a while but it feels good to have a plan and not be really frustrated like I was.
Many thanks to everyone for your advice. Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed. Especially if you see any problems.
