Wow yeah there are a buttload of amazing options for her, I think my fave things about her are the torture and that sweeeet lightning trick! Also looking forward to seeing the other pieces with torture in this set. Great work guys!

Well the obvious answer is to shoot her to death, but she has stealth :(
She is gonna be one of the ultimate annoying minis. I might even start putting together some sith squads.

I could see her being played with Krayt and getting double twin and completely nerf some poor enemy minis with torture. I like the torture ability. It fits her character from the comics very well. In fact all her stats do. Good job design team!

I really like torture. I'd like to see a Demagol mini with the same ability.

So, quick question: does she have a lightsaber or not?

Another quick question: Does Burst Lightning replace attacks? As currently transcribed, it does not.

While i doubt it would ever happen unless two players attempted to perform it to make it happen, what happens when a characters defense reaches zero or a negative value?

So if you block an attack, effectively taking no damage, do you still get tortured?

If a character's defense is zero (or less), an attack roll of 1 is still an auto-miss. As to it getting to a negative number, there is now the precedent where initiative rolls can be negative (Tactician -4), but whether that concept will be extended to stats... ??

"To a minimum of 0" would be a nice way to prevent the untidy situations negative numbers may bring about.

Tarkin, one is dealing with a situational modifier and (per the FAQ) could potentially have a negative attack value. In this case, the modifier is persistent, but unlike like Cortosis this one stacks. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Another point of interest: It appears that Vengeance will have 8 OR characters (surpassed so far only by KotOR which had 12). We know 2 - Vandar, and the Trooper with repeating blaster. Wonder what else is coming...

If you include Affinity, I think R&R had 9. It'll be interesting to see how much affinity there is in this set.

I overlooked the 2 loose-cannon Jedi, which is ironic since those are probably my favorite non-uniques from that set.  A few more Affinity pieces seems likely. I'm hopeful, anyway.

No matter how you count it, it's good days for the Old Republic.
Vintage (60-piece) sets: 21 Old Rep
Classic (40-piece) sets: 12 Old Rep (15, including Malak/Revan via the Crusader)
V-Sets so far: 16 Old Rep (17 with another Revan via the Crusader)
Old Rep finally winning tournaments: Priceless.
