trandoshan or the spiky headed human thing

[Cypher]

how about... dont play at all 8-D

[BloodViper]

u have to be a a master unarmed specialist and a master marksman and both of those dont fall under the lines of an artisan and scoutbtw, choose a female species, they can gain higher stats than male

[HanK]

I don't think you need master unarmed for bounty hunter, just master scout and master marksman.

[ZeroEnna]

Yeah its master scout and master marksman.Master UA and Master Marksman is for Commando.I say start off marksman and then buy scout skills, also your race choice is up to you really, it wont have a huge effect on you since both of those are good choices but remember trandoshan is leaned more towards brawling then scouting an marksman.And spiky head race is Zabrak

But the thing is ...not having played the game yet .....you have no clue what you want to do. Trust me you won't know until you're actually playing it. I know a guy who worked his ass off for BH just keep it only for the pistol skill, he ended up not liking the profession at all. I myself thought about BH, smuggler, and a few others and ended up with a pleasantly suprising brick in the head known as combat medic. Give all of the game a try before you decide on a profession. There is no race to max out skill pts, so just play the game as it comes and have fun. Besides ....people CAN be power leveled in this game anyway.And don't worry about what species is "better" for a profession ...play one that would interest you. Because like I said, you don't know yet what you want to play. Trandos are cool but they're also dumber than dogshit. I can't count the times I've seen a trando get 1 headshot ONE (not even the good head shot) and hit the dirt like a sack of potatos mind incapped. Zabraks are cool looking, have equilibrium (which is prolly the best racial ability in the game) but also every 2nd or 3rd person is a zabrak, so you'd lose a lot of identity. Kinda like creature handlers now, there is so many of them the profession has become about as unique and fascinating as a peice of wood. While in character creation screen, go through all of the species and play with thier looks, you might find that you like bothans or rodians or even twileks. Trust me if you just pick what's "better" then every time you see someone sporting that race/profession for the exact same reasons you're going to cringe. I've gotten a lot of "oh crap! rodian combat medic ...COOL!" because I seem to be one of 3 rodians on the server or something :PI swear it's my gnome warrior all over again. You see 5,000 ogre warriors on the server and then you see maybe 2 gnome warriors. Suddenly there is a general idea that gnomes are better than ogres (even though ogres have almost twice the stats of gnomes) just because we decided to do something creative and fun, rather than just what is better statistically. Rodians don't have the "best" stats but guess what? I have not regretted my decision yet, and it has never ONCE hampered me to be a rodian.

Actually im a trandoshan and about being dumb, yes that could be true but my HAM is 1000/1000/875 so ONE shot that mr. goats. Its called stat migration. Anyone can do it. I havent seen a head shot that can do 875 damage. In fact Ive been pwning marksmen the only ones I have trouble with is carbine b/c of the damn legshot. Trando's are weak in mind yes but not if you migrate.

[Eat_More_Goats]

875 is still a 1 shot incap with rifle :POf course to combat this you could take mind affecting spices, or wear a helmet (some armor absorbs up to 75% I think)

[Shin Akuma]

But then you can incap many more than just Trandos... leave my species alone

[Darth Bob]
