I just don’t know what they are! (OK so you can heal everyone a lot. But I’m sure that being mighty on the light side pays some combat dividends.
Looking at the manual it seems like the dark side gets all the fun combat powers (like lightning, etc.).
But I’m only in the sewers for crying out loud! (level 4, with Garth and Wookie-girlfriend) I’m just starting (just got the game Monday night – my birthday – and last night was first chance to play), and I’m doing a kind of two-bladed light side priestly hacker swordswoman character. What’s the best way to be a light side combat monster in KOTOR?
