The competition this week is to take a character and make a 'lite' version of it that is less powerful than the character is traditionally portrayed.

A bit of context for this: there are quite a few non-Unique WotC pieces that were based off of real characters, or were originally a Unique and then made non-Unique (i.e. Jedi Weapon Master is Cin Drallig, Jedi Sentinel is suspiciously like Visas Marr, Jedi Sith Hunter is almost Kyp Durron, etc.) - the pieces somewhat reflect the original character, but are generally much weaker (Cin Drallig [Jedi Weapon Master], the legendary lightsaber trainer of the Republic, costs less than random Jedi knight Aayla Secura Huh Sure, why not...)

SO, the entry has to be based on an actual character, but can itself be non-Unique. The piece should be true to the character flavor-wise, but not necessarily power-level-wise. Any faction is fine.

Rules
1. The character must be canon and from the chosen faction. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction. EDIT: Since Canon is all screwed up, just a known character is fine.

2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

7.. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

8. you may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline (from Tuesday-Thursday you may get advice and change your character accordingly) Friday at midnight [US central -600] before any votes are cast is the deadline.

The schedule will be like this: Monday the winner of last weeks CCC will announce his/her choice for the character (including the faction), from Tuesday till Friday characters can be created/updated but on Friday you must have picked one character to submit. Then voting will be held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday until noon [US central -600]. Monday night the winner will be announced and the next character picked.

I'll go ahead and post mine. I've got two ideas, but I'll be away until Friday night, so if I don't say otherwise, assume I'm going with this one:

But this one is also fun: http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/19283/10-point-nihilus

Thanks for any feedback! These might be a little extreme, but they illustrate the point.

Not sure yet which one I'm going to go with, so feedback is appreciated.

This Boba Fett is supposed to represent Boba during the Tatooine battle from Episode 6.

This is my take on Anakin from Episode 2, especially from the final battle with Count Dooku
http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/25553/anakin-skywalker--apprentice

Which one do you guys like better? And do they seem to fit the idea for the contest?

This is mine, it's representative of him as he was learning the ways of the Sith.

Rant ahead, you've been warned .... Ignore since I'm a silly older guy ....








Contest - " ... make a 'lite' version of it that is less powerful than the character is traditionally portrayed."



This isn't going to be popular, but to me, the fun of stats is to use your imagination, not just take a handful of abilities away and that's my "Lite" versions of WOTC pieces. How about a teenage Mace or Squint just before he's Malak? Anakin when he kills all the Tuskens? Savage when he's still more beast than apprentice material?

Come on guys, Laf seems to be the only one that's even tried to do something slightly different from the original with his pieces .... Laf, Like the weaker Anakin who's about to lose it and isn't in control ..... ThumpUp


Everybody else's pieces:

ALL have 90 hit pts
All have 19-20 Defense
Spry's Malak has +8 Attack, everybody else 10-12 Attack
All have Force 3 (except Malak who makes up for his 8 Attack with Force 4

Hardly Lite pieces ...

The only thing you guys have "Changed" is made them into normal Jedi Master types instead of being uber beatsticks.


Rant Over; please continue on BigGrin

just making a low cost unplayable piece isn't very fun to me. IMO the 2 perfect low cost fun pieces are Jedi weapon master for melee and Dash for shooters so I used them as the bar. I wanted to make something that lets me use a favorite character without having to pony up 25% or more of my allotted squad points.

Maybe this will fit your tastes better:
darth bane's holocron

Never said they couldn't be "fun" but it just seemed that everybody went straight to their force user of choice, knocked 30-40 points off him, took 3-4 SA's and a 2-3 FP's off and said here he is. The guys, IMHO followed the letter but not the intent of the contest, then again, I may have misinterpreted it from the start, but you gotta admit, when they all have 90 HP's 19-20 Defense, roughly all 10-12 Attack, etc as I said it's just looking awful cookie-cutter-ish, which I hoped we as "Custom" stats guys could avoid and wave our excellent imaginations around.

Not asking people to change what they want to submit, just be aware of what many are doing; right now I'd vote for Laf's choices and excuse myself from the rest ... they all look alike, just change the names around ....

I will be out of town for part of the weekend, so my voting may be a little bit late.

This custom is a winner!
Tastes great, and is less filling!
I'm going for a lite version of Maul/Oppress, and starting a new sub-faction.
love those NightSisters, how 'bout some luv for the Bros! (before hoes)
