Who is whistler? A future companion custom :D? I like the way you designed him. As you know, I love Camaraderie pieces, and you executed it nicely. Tip: I have no clue what Rout or Wingman do, so if you put them in the things (I can't type them, so I'll describe how to) that it makes when you hold shift and press the 'square bracket' keys (those weird shape thingy's, kinda like these: '( )' ), it will highlight them, and you can hold the mouse over the abilities then, and it tells you about them!

LJM is cool too! Powerful, but balanced since he has no extra attacks by himself. Great job, corran! I've waited to see this for a long time, and you didn't disappoint!

Corran at the end of X-Wing: Rogue Squadron. Camaraderie is to make the original Wedge (UH) worth using. NTMTO because he says that at least once in the novel. Furious Assault to represent his actions on Talasea inside the base. Reasons for LJM are. obvious, he may not have any save abilities yet (there are many events that grant you saves anyway) but Wedge gives him Evade.

Focused Attack to represent when he calms himself to focus on taking out the opposing fighters, etc; or when he convinces himself on Talasea that he won't survive but he can help his fellow Rogues to do so and becomes calm. Bravado simply becuase he thought he was good. Corran was never obnoxiously egotistical or anything but I still thought it fit. Long Shot represents, among other events, the fight on Talasea.

[Rout]...Wingman (Allied Pilots within 6 squares gain +4 Defense) comes from saber1 but it was so perfect that I had to snatch it. =)

@peg Thanks! :) Whistler is Corran's astromech, I'll make stats for him (and add something to synergise with Whistler to Corran's stats) once I've finished rereading the entire X-wing series.

I hope the single incidence of Focused Attack isn't too strong...Corran will be very strong with Luke, FS. Hopefully not OP, though. Worst case scenario I could add something disallowing Corran to gain Force Renewal.

Almost forgot-this is my 100th custom! Fitting that number 100 should be my first Corran.

Just for future reference, you can make these links IN the actual ability too, just go to your SA's page, edit camaraderie and put them between the brackety things just like you did here (the squiggly ones, not the square ones), and while it won't show that it did it there I think, when you come back here, they will be highlighted with links up there, just like other SA's on the character ;)

Focused isn't too strong; there are plenty of good pieces with Accurate shot, and this COSTS something.

It only highlights them in the glossary text, I guess. :(. Any issue with Focused would stem from Charging Assault.

Hmmm.... It's always worked for me. Not really sure what's going on.

No big deal-anyone looking at it can use the links I posted or just look under "Special Abilities".

This looks great. It's accurate to Corran, playable and balanced. Looking forward to your interpretation of Whistler.

Thanks! I went in a different direction than yours; a lot of Corran's gunplay just screamed "Furious Assault" to me. :)

Added JMT and upped cost a bit accordingly. He was able to use it unknowingly before training as a Jedi.

Nice! X-Wing is one of my favorite book series! I always thought they should do all those characters, like Piggy! And Lieutenant Ketch! Yub Yub Commander!

Thanks haha, I loved Piggy!

If his Attack seems low for cost, remember that Han STA, who is the only piece that's somewhat similar (relatively low cost FA shooter, pretty different beyond that) has +8 Attack and costs 25 points. (And Han STA is more than good).

Took off Bravado in the interest of simplicity. Corran wouldn't get to use it very often as it specifies adjacent enemies and although Corran had a high opinion of his own abiltities he wasn't arrogant in the way that Bravado implies.

Still a 10!

Thanks, haha! I upped one point after looking at it again. A minor adjustment but when you're between 30 and 40 a single point can mean a lot, imo.

I love this custom! Perfect, and 11 Attack isn't too low at all. I think he's probably better off with only Long Shot, as well. 10.

I thought I left a comment on this guy??? Anyways... He is very cool and a great representation IMO. The Klat Capt would help him out lots with Cheaper Evade (than Wedge in the NR) and Speed 8 (16 square Furious Assault Anyone? How we throw in Focused too) I would find a way to get him Renewal, but he is balanced since he will have a far range potential, and in the NR you have to keep someone close to give him Renewal (E.G Spirits or Anakin GH) The alterantivge is to pair him up with the BHC Luke, which would be pretty darn strong.

I might cost him Slightly higher, but I still really like him
