Yay! The only reason I haven't made a custom of him yet is because I was hoping he'd be in the next contest. It will be fun to see how other people portray him also.

I only saw the movie once (unfortunately) so if the flaver text wasn't the exact words or it was Protector of the Whills instead of Guardian please let me know.

I think it's about ready for prime time.

Chirrut Îmwe

Before my notes and votes, I want to give kudos. There are some very nice customs entered. Thanks to all for your participation! On to my thoughts for each.

General Grievous: Base stats good for cost. Triple, Synergy and Force 2 all look solid. Survival Expert is a very nice touch. Draw Fire is an interesting addition and when coupled with Evade, Parry and SE he becomes a real headache.

Kamikaze13: Weakish base stats for cost. I like Double w/GMA. Evade and Parry give him durability. Jolt is interesting but makes him a bit too much like Jarael perhaps. IO provides greater squad building flexibility and fits thematically. Underestimated if a fun new ability. While Hostage Shield’s name doesn’t sit well with this character, the mechanic does make sense. However, with both Evade and Parry it seems a bit too much in the way of defense.

Caedus: Decent stats for cost. Double and GMA make sense. Evade/Parry seem to be a popular combo for this character. Lightbow is quite cool, though I might tone it down to 40 damage. Battle Synergy is a nice tie-in to his buddy Baze. His Force points are a bit high at 3. I like both Force powers and considered each when building my custom Chirrut. My suggestion, based on my impression of the character, is to drop one of the two as he really isn’t a Force user as he is guided by the Force.

Donnyrides: Weakish stats for cost. Triple and GMA are potent and also the direction I opted to go on my version. Synergy makes good sense, as does Rapport. I like Force 2 w/o any stated powers. Imwe Style, his signature ability, is quite potent and better than a lot of LS Styles. I might change the second line to something like, “Whenever this character rolls a 16 or higher on a save for this ability, he can make an immediate attack against an adjacent enemy”. This way he has a 50/50 to prevent and a 25% chance to swing back.

CorellianComedian: Very nice stats for cost. Triple is nice to see. Evade with no Parry? Kudos for bucking the trend. I really like Indiscriminate Reactions. Blaster 20 is a clean and simple way to reflect his seldom used shooter. Rapport is straight-forward. I’m not keen on Force 3, but it makes sense when Force Sacrifice is considered. FS certainly feels accurate. The biggest hang-up is Aggressive Negotiations. While it certainly is useful, it doesn’t quite feel right.

Lafcadio: Paltry base stats for cost. Single attack seems lacking. And The Force Is With Me is great and really fits thematically, as does Survival Expert. Camaraderie is fun and makes Baze a real force to reckon with (pun intended). Verpine Shatter Rifle works (I almost included it on my custom). I applaud your original take on his connection to the Force via is Force Powers. However, they just don’t feel right. I see him “using” the Force more to augment his physical abilities as in rerolls and moving a bit faster. He seems more guided by the Force then actively using it like a Jedi or Sith, which would necessitate Force powers/points.

Jak: Meh base stats for cost. There is certainly an argument to be made for Double/Twin (kudos for being the only one to go this direction) and I dig GMA being tossed in for more flexibility. Mettle makes sense. Soresu Style Mastery, while at first glance seems out of place, makes a lot of sense after a few more moments of contemplation. He very well may have studied this style for all we know even though he isn’t a Jedi. Light Bow looks spot on. Independent works. It’s cool to see a Fringe entry and I considered this route but couldn’t see him as anything but a Rebel (officially or on his own). He's never doing the dirty work for Sith or the Empire.

Third: Jak
Second: Donnyrides
First: CorellianComedian

Nice job guys! This was a fun week!

3rd - donnyrides - I like how straightforward your piece is. Imwe style is by far one of the best damage reduction abilities in the game, but it works nicely. I like that Rapport; that's a Rapport you can sink your teeth into. None of this lame 1-point stuff like I did (Rapport 1 just takes up card space ), but Rapport 5 with that synergy makes you really want to use Baze with him.

2nd - Lafcadio - It normally bugs me to see only 50 HP on someone like that (especially with a big dogpile of abilities), but you pulled it off nicely. He's got a lot of abilities already, but giving him Unleashed would be cool - double Sweep or Assault (or one of each...) would be pretty awesome. Verpine Shatter Rifle was a good call. Also, you win best flavor text

1st - General Grievous - Lots of stuff going on, but the piece is still very simply overall. Survival Expert is a nice touch, and well-balanced by having Parry/Evade instead of Soresu. Draw Fire is also a nice touch.

Also, saber1 gets honorable mention for being the only other contestent to include the circumflex on Îmwe

Can you vote if you didn't enter? I forget.

If so, here are my votes:
1st. CorellianComedian
2nd. Kamikaze13
3rd. General_Grievous

My impression was that you had to enter to vote, but the rules doesn't seem to say that. I don't know, we've never had this come up before that I remember. I'm not sure if it would be a problem or not but we'll see what the others say.
