Excellent job! Out of curiosity, did you cost your characters to be casual or competitive (e.g., Vset power level)?

Great question. i only play casually, but do have the v-sets, so it has influenced my thinking.

Today is the first day of voting! What that means is starting now, characters can no longer be changed, updated, or added. To anyone who didn't finish creating customs, they are out of the running and may not vote or be voted for.

I'll start the voting if that's ok. How does this work? Do I rate each custom individually and then find the average of all 7?

What I had in mind for vote was that you would look over all 7 sets of stats and give them one overall rating. You can just post ratings or mention specific pieces for each creator that you liked or disliked. Does that help?

Alright Here are my votes.
dojimaster: 8.5 pretty good but I don't know about bringing lancers and whatnot into the rebels with dellso, and gorgon doesn't seem like a piece I would use with way better options for the cost.
poppins88: 9.25 the savage dew back is a good idea and bowdaar had a lot of inventive stuff
SignerJ: 9.45 for the most part good but I think that the Sound Droid is maybe 4 or 5 points undercosted

Here are my votes:

SignerJ - 9.25
I really like Tsaa Qalu as a booster for the Vong Warriors (+3 Attack? What were they thinking?) and the Exceptional Sith Apprentice and Ali-Alann look like a lot of fun as well. My one criticism would that some of the uses of RM's were, in my opinion, not very creative, such as the Jedi Initiate and that is a big part of this contest.

harryg - 8.5

I like a lot of the inventive stuff going on in several of these customs, such as the Gotal Bounty Hunter, the Wookiee Brawler, and Barratk'l. However, a few seem overcosted (like Cognus) or have a few too many abilities, like the Clone Assassin.

dojimaster - 9.5

Dealing with 3 Geonosians in one booster could not have been easy. I would have to agree with harryg that Gorgol is probably not something I would use very much, but I disagree with him about Dellso, it would be tons of fun to bring a Sep droid or two, and with so many Lancer counters out there and few CE's available to droids in Rebels, it wouldn't be broken at all. Sergeant Banks looks fun, as does the Aqualish with Return Fire. Although some of the costing could use a little tweaking, I feel that you used the RM's very creatively, especially in dealing with the aformentioned Geonosians.

dojimaster gets my vote.

poppins88: 9.5
I really like all of your stats blocks. They are very creative. I definitely like how you tried to make old pieces (Freedon Nadd) useful. Furthermore, I like some of the creative mechanics you made, such as with the Cannibal Dewback and Bowdaar. There are parts of some of the pieces that I'm not very fond of, but that discussion is for the individual pages.

harryg: 9
I like how your customs were creative. I definitely like how the Alderaanian Captain is an attempt to get outdated pieces useful again. Your Recommended minis fit (the Wookiee Brawler was a very good choose as a custom for the Wookiee Berserker). Nevertheless, some of the mechanics in them were a bit iffy for me, and a couple of pieces were overcosted.

dojimaster: 9.25
You got the short end of the stick (multiple RMs that were very similar), but you did a good job with it. I like your Gizor Delso piece, but I'm a bit cautious about the ability to bring Separatist pieces into the Rebels. (Poppins might be right about it not being a bit deal. I'm just not sure at this point.) I really like your Gorgol the Handy piece, and both of the clones were done well. Your Aqualish Blaster-for-Hire is very creative. All of the recommended minis fit, except for Latts Razzi. However, many of your pieces looked overcosted, even for casual play (for example, Sergeant Banks could probably be a couple points cheaper.)

I'm game for that. Before I start up a new thread, are there any changes anyone thinks should be made?

I think some more time to create would probably have been helpful.
