I've been playing for almost a year now, and I still have no clue why Zabraks have those two special abilities. Can anyone answer?

one special ability really. vitalize is a joke, only gives a "buff" of about 50 for maybe 2 minutes. as for equilibrium, not sure exactly why, but it's on a one hour timer, so it's not too gamebreaking.

It's not that special, considering the fact that Zabs have terrible caps on their mind secondaries compared to humans.

I'm a rodian. If what i read is correct, us rodians are less effected by being blinded than other races.

each race/species/or whatever you call it, has some special abilities, some are much better than others, but that's just the way it is, if you don't like it, then you'd need to create a new character i guess.

Trandos have one called Regeneration.  It too is a very small buff to strength (50 maybe) for about 3 minutes.  Only good once an hour.

hmm, i always thought trandoshan regeneration was just what it sounds like, faster regeneration.

I guess it is because every race has their own special unique abilities and bonuses.  It's what makes certain species better for certain professions.  Zabracks only get as much special treatment as every other species.
Every species gets more bonuses and has more differences than most people realize.  (Props to www.swgcenter.com for the info)

The experience bonuses mean that species gains that much more xp than others.  The Imperial Prejudice is the amount you multiply any faction costs if you play as an imperial with that species.  The Empire doesn't like aliens much - The closer to human you look as an Imperial, the better.  The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Bothan-
10% Scout Experience
+15 Camouflage
+10 Take Cover
Imperial Prejudice x2

Human-
+5% Experience (ALL)
+15 Artisan Experimentation
+10 Leadership

Mon Calamarian-
+3% Experience: Structural Crafting, Armorsmith
+7% Experience: Squad Leader
+15 Alertness
+10 Weapon Assembly
+10 Structure Assembly
Imperial Prejudice x3

Rodian-
+5% Experience: Scout, Bounty Hunter
+15 Defense Vs. Blind
+10 One-Handed Melee Accuracy
+10 Two-Handed Melee Accuracy
+10 Weapon Assembly
Imperial Prejudice x3

Trandoshan-
+10 Unarmed Accuracy
+5 Unarmed Speed
+15 Unarmed Damage
+10 Melee Defense
+10 Creature Harvesting
+1 Regeneration - Buff to constitution for 5 minutes. Command: /innate regeneration
Imperial Prejudice x2

Twi'lek-
+7% Experience Dancing
+3% Experience Music
+15 Wound Healing (Dancing)
+5 Wound Healing (Music)
+15 Battle Fatigue Healing (Dancing)
+5 Battle Fatigue Healing (Music)
Imperial Prejudice x1.5

Wookiee-
+10 Trapping
+10 Creature Taming Bonus
+10 Rescue
+10 Warcry
+1 Wookiee Roar: Cone Effect Intimidate  Command: /innate roar
Imperial Prejudice x3
(+650 HAM)
(cannot wear normal armor - only special wookiee armor)

Zabrack-
+10 Defense Vs. Dizzy
+10 Defense Vs. Stun
+10 Defense Vs. Intimidate
+5 Anti-Shock
+1 Equilibrium - Rebalances damage to all pools  Command: /innate equilibrium
+1 Vitalize - Minor buff to all pool sizes  Command: /innate vitalize
Imperial Prejudice x2


Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

Because we are better than you. Also I could say the same for wookies what with a species specific rifle and armor (two more sets which are on the way) not to mention the fact that they some handy bonuses and have lifeday. Oh did I mention they never stop complaining about everything they get?

My sig is of little use now due to the fact that I have quit.

Zabraks aren't that great, if you want to be the best be human. At least that's what my parents told me.

In the end zabraks are better in most cases. Why? Because the bonuses humans get will not always help you. They get a crafting bonus which makes them better crafters they get an SL bonus they can buy faction perks for a bit less and they get a small XP bonus. Once you are done grinding and if you are not a crafter/SL then they will have nothing that helps you. Zabraks on the other hand have a decent def bonus and equilibrium which is very very handy if you use it correctly.

my friend has wookie roar as a special thing for wookie but he has no idea how it wokrs i dont either mabey some one could tell me

--"FTLOG guys, everyone knows that the only way to find the meatlump king
is to board someone elses POB ship, have them drop you off on kashyyyk,
then go into the very bottom of the myyydril caverns and delete all your gear...
Once you do that, he spawns on mustafar, in a secret passage in the sher kar cave...
----where a bunch of meatlump guards will try and keep you from entering a giant
gateway that says "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." --- but if you kill him,
he drops a blue frog that lets you use god mode. Good luck, and god
speed!"                 --You watch mysril some newb will do that one day lol

Possibly the biggest bonus Humans get that no one talks about or even remembers anymore, is our free range of stat migration.  Back in the day, Humans were about the only species that could wear an entire suit of composite armor with just stat migration and no buff.  All other species have limitations on how high/low certain secondaries can go.
