Hmm some good advice there.
I've been playing with the idea of other races. Nyriaanan, Miraluka, and Felucian
all give me lvl 1 feats that I need, like human. I'm actually kind of tempted to go Miraluka so that concealment means nothing to me, but the -2 dex hurts.
Kel Dor, Fosh, Umbaran, and Caamasi give really good ability scores. I'm really drawn to go Umbaran because I LOVE the Persuasion skill.
Thoughts, anyone?
