I think Mikkian lore is really cool and they look cool, but I also would like to make a brawler. I was thinking of making my Mikkian a martial artist or steel hand adept, but even though Mikkians are in the warrior book they start with 1 brawn. So I was wondering a few things.

1. How big of a disadvantage would I be at for playing a race that has their lowest stat be one of the main ones for the career I am looking at?

2. Is a 1x4, 2x3, 3x2 stat array much better than 4x3 2x2? I read that having 4 3's makes you not really excel at anything or is it more like you are pretty good at a lot? How much depends on the ranks in a skill?

3. What is the difference between a martial artist and a steel hand adept? I know one gets force powers, but what about beyond that?

4. If I start as a martial artist, can I just buy the steel hand adept specialization later or is there something I must do before being able to buy a force specialization?

5. Also since i'm here 10 xp or 2500 credits?

Thank you everyone!!
