So I'm looking to create the kaleesh species. I've looked at what other people have created and I have to say I don't always agree with what's created. So I figured I'd ask on the forums. It seems many people stat them with 3 Agility and 1 Presence. Any reason why people up Agility and not Willpower? Kaleesh seem to be a very disciplined and spiritual people. Hence why I personally feel Willpower should be at 3. But I want other knowledgeable peoples opinions.

Due to their thermoreceptor glands I definitely feel they should have dark vision as a species ability.

In terms of Special abilities I feel this can be very debated upon. I personally feel it can be gets one rank in either Discipline or Coercion. Both these focus on aspects of their species culture. Discipline for their spirituality. Coercion for their more aggressive, warlike, and threatening nature as we seem to see a lot of in SWToR. However I can also see why people suggest one rank in Melee or Ranged (Light). Though something that just came to me was get one rank in Melee and then choose one rank in either Discipline or Coercion.

In terms of Wound Threshold and Strain Threshold I'm at a complete loss. In Legends (Which is what myself and my group stick to) both their physical hardiness and mental fortitude seem to be very similar. So any help would be great. Thank you.

You don't like what others have done with them, so you come to ask others what they'd do with them? Seems contradictory to me.

Sorry for the late response; some sort of glitch was preventing me from posting. Anywho, here’s my thoughts.

• First and foremost, thanks for bring this up. Any time people want to revisit my species stats, that helps to revise and ensure the CSG stats are as good as possible.
• On the other hand, creating a new forum is kind of an odd choice. You consistently mention what “people” stat them as, and it seems like said stats are from the CSG. If you want to critique the CSG, doing so on the main CSG forum or least giving me an @ mention would have made sense.
• Honestly, the more I think about it, Willpower 3 sounds like a pretty good idea. I gave them Agility 3 to emphasize their skills in combat, although doing 231231 could work.
• Discipline and Coercion would nice, but their most notable aspect is their proficiency in combat, so I think giving them a rank in Melee seems like the most logical choice. In general, giving multiple skills is kind of taboo, if you want to represent Coercion or Discipline, a talent would be a better choice.
• Both WT and ST should be higher for the reasons you mentioned, although I’d go with a higher WT than ST.
