I have been TKM for a while, and I have never had problems with my mind. I drink 2 brandys and get entertainer buffs but my mind usually declines rapidly. Sometimes unarmed hit 3 will -6 on my mind, and others it will do -40. This appears to change randomly. Does n e one know wats goin on??
Thx

pop an ahrisa. its around 33% food filling, lasts as long as brandy and your mind wont drain one bit unless you get hit there.

usually this is what i do-
Primary and Secondary Ent. Buffs
2 Brandys and 2 Canapes
No Armor
KD w/ Dizzy
Drink Brandy and Eat Canape as I can
Using Kd w/ Dizzy enables you not to get hit, even if it fails if you bring the enemy down fast you will be fine. I am a Wookiee, so you might not do as good as me without armor, I can take a tusken warlord without getting hit once unless he hits me with mind bleed. Depends on what you are killing and your species.

this definately does not change randomly... all i can guess is that your mind buffs/brandy have run out and you havent had a chance to replenish them.

Encumbrance sliced armor instead of effectiveness sliced helps alot too.
Especially if you have a few minutes gap between brandy when stomach will
only take one.

In order to have 0 mind costs you need to get your focus above 1500... so follow the methods that others are saying by drinking two brandies, musicans buffs, ahrisa/canape as needed, and find an image designer to max out your mind/focus/willpower.

As a TKM rodian I have to say mind is a problem. However, drink two brandys and eat two arisha and you are golden. Leave a little stomach open for something else.

Doesn't Stun also affect stats? In that case, it could increase the cost of Specials.

Stat Migration would help: Max Mind base (for power boost), max Willpower for regen, and place remaining points in Focus. Doctor buffs will cover primary and secondaries enough to wear armor, etc. Powerboost on top of that is nice. To cover mind regen and special costs, you can generally get away with taking a brandy (400+ mind/focus/willpower for at least 30 mins) and an Ahrisa (400+ for 45 mins or so) and be alright with Musician buffs. So long as you keep your Focus at 1500 specials won't cost you anything. Keep in mind that stomach filling empties in 30 mins, so you needn't waste stomach space unnecessarily if you're a PVPer. Thereabouts 1500 is the magic number.
Stun affects melee/ranged defense. Intimidate affects damage. And I'm partial to Ahrisa over Canape for duration purposes which was far more economical in the past given prior stomach restrictions.

How much mind is used is determined by the focus pool, the higher the stat the less you use to perform the action.
As mentioned above, ahrisa is best for this.
For absolute best results, try this :
Musician buffs (buffs focus and willpower)
2 brandy of 45 min duration. After 15 mins you will have emptied 1/2 stomach, pop another one.
3 Ahrisa of 45 min duration, After 10 mins or so you have emptied 33% of your food stomach, pop another one.
At that point you should use -1 for every special attack, regardless of which one it is. Added to that your willpower will be so high that the mind pool regens so fast it will look like it never drops.
Having a dancer buff on top of all that will allow for more mind damage if you fighting mobs/npcs that mind hit.
