Force and Destiny - how to do anything, holy shit

Spend all your starting exp (or as much as possible) on characteristics. Have you at least decided on a race/character concept yet?

Yes, basically it's a human (most likely) guy, who's a down on his luck movie maker. When he was found out as a force sensitive and drafted into sith academy, he saw it as an opportunity to make a movie of a lifetime - he just must find the most promising and powerful acolyte, suck up to him and record his life and times to create a Star Wars version of Triumph of Will.
Not much of a combatant, but a clever talker.

So, what should be the spread? Do I buy 1 cunning, 1 presence and 1 willpower?

>>50353575
Cunning, absolutely. Not only is it good for your scheming it's the stat that makashi runs off if you branch out into the mystic's lightsaber tree. There's an argument to be made for taking cunning 4 but that would mean neglecting either wil or int which you may not want to do. Spend the leftover xp (either 20 or 10) to up one (or two) of your career skills up to rank 2. Don't invest in powers until you have a real idea what you need your force powers to make up for.

Use your human non-career skills to invest in cool to resist social attacks and keep initiative. Consider either ranged (light) or brawl to give yourself some small combat abilities or go for stealth to keep being sneaky.

If I were the one picking your starting career skills I'd pick:

charm
coercion
vigilance
deception
negotiation

Use the xp to upgrade negotiate, followed by charm.

/swg/ may have other ideas but while I have your attention have you considered taking a non human species? A tortuga will let you have a higher cunning at the expense of brawn. You could spend all the exp to have 4 cunning, 3 pres and 3 wil. Fewer skills but one free point in perception and a bonus when you assist people (fits for the advisor). Obviously the 1 brawn may put some people off but if you're aiming to keep out of combat you'll be fine.

Go full force persuade/domination.

Really thorough, thanks.
>>50353792
Do I really need it, though, if I'm naturally good at talking?

>>50353835
I may have been thourough but I was wrong, makashi runs off presence. Cunning is still a high priority but presence should be the one you try to up to 4. I was thinking of the sentinel class rather than the mystic class.

>>50353876
Well, it seems that twi'lek is my natural choice, then. Might as well go full stereotype.

Makashi runs off presence senpai

Goebbels didn't make movies. I think.
