Hey y'all!

i was wondering if you APPROVE of the "new" FP, or if you don't think they'd last 3 seconds in competitive squads...



Well, IM(H)O i dont like the new FP b/c they are too risky. why wast 25-40 points worth of (unique) jedi and risk losing them completely, them gaining savage, or them joining the opp. squad (thats even worse than betrayal!!!)...

IMO, of course ;)

what do YOU think about these new FP?

thx y'all in advance! :)

Huh? If you time it right, they could be extremely useful. I'd argue Dark Temptation is going to become the poster child for point stealing.

Ferus and Dass are in great factions. I think their reward far outweighs the risk.

Ok, so one moment you don't like them (too risky), but the next you are saying they are game breakers. So what is it? You've confused me.

Timing is everything. In fact, a character joining the opponent's squad can even be a good thing on occasion.

For example, If I'm playing Ferus Olin, I'll probably have him next to a solid jedi (General Skywalker) as the bodyguard making Skywalker live much longer.

If I use Dark Temptation (which I will do only when he has 10-30 hit points left just in case he turns on me ), I don't have to make a save to get the bonus, I automatically get the bonus immediately!

The save to determine whether he joins the opponent's squad does not come until the end of his turn.

At this point he has already made 2 attacks at 40 damage per attack with an attack of 15 or he has made one attack (using momentum from Skywalker) for 50 damage at an attack of 19!

Then there is a 50% chance I will lose him to the other team, which is good if he is almost dead. Earlier, if I planned well, I will not have activated the other jedi yet(General Skywalker in this case).

General Skywalker then activates and moves to create momentum and makes 2 attacks and potentially a Djem So attack from the AoO to finish off Ferus Olin and get an easy 27 points!

Ferus Olin Soaked up damage to keep Skywalker at max, made a final huge attack, then died giving me an easy 27 points. That 27 points could be a key method to winning some games!

I say in that case, the Dark Temtation force power was well worth it!

Yeah, the more I think of K'Kruhk, the more I like him. I think he's well worth using over the standard JWM. The extra 10 Hps, Impulsive Advance, Force Renewal and Indiscriminate Rage are worth the extra 7. Plus he can benefit from Qui-Gon JT's CE (when he is not Savage).

sry if i have...i thought that (for ex.) ferus olin; he got betrayed and you killed him, the points go to ur opp....but, apparetnty not :)

also in general would still stick to my opinion, though dass prob. isnt as good as ferus now that i realize how good he can (poetnially) be ;)

did that clear things up for ya? ;)

Since they are Force Powers themselves, you will only be able to do that if you are able to spend Force points more than once a turn.

Sithborg, you got me on that one. I guess I didn't think it through.

I like it because it adds an extra element of chance to the game. When chance comes into play anything can happen

I am always for new abilities and force powers and these when used correctly could be game changers and are worth the risk. So I think they are quite useful in that sense.
