To be honest, I'm not super thrilled about the topic this time (I wasn't last time, either, but I digress), so I just tried to think of something and then threw a couple of things together. Here it is: my version of Vader from the Mustafar duel.


Darth Vader, Young Apprentice
Cost: 53
Sith

HP: 130
Def: 21
Att: 15
Dam: 20

Unique
Melee Attack (Can attack only adjacent enemies)
Triple Attack (On his turn, this character can make 2 extra attacks instead of moving)
Greater Mobile Attack (Can move both before and after attacking. This character can make extra attacks even if he moves this turn, but he must make them all before resuming movement.)
Djem So Style (Whenever this character is hit by a melee attack, make a save of 11. On a success, this character can make an immediate attack against that attacker.)
Indiscriminate (When this character attacks an adjacent enemy, it ignores enemy abilities and commander effects that prevent targeting and attacking. These attacks cannot be redirected.)
Rapport (Costs 10 less when in the same squad as a character whose name contains Darth Sidious)

Force 3
Force Renewal 1 (This character gets 1 Force point each time he activates)
Master of the Force 2 (May spend Force points up to 2 times in a single turn)
Force Grip 1 (Force 1, replaces attacks: sight; 10 damage )
Lightsaber Block (Force 1: When hit by a melee attack, this character takes no damage with a save of 11)
Master Speed (Force 1: This character can move 6 extra squares on his turn as part of his move)
Sith Rage (Force 1: +10 Damage on all attacks this turn)

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"


His HP is rather high, so that he can take some hits. His attack is high because, well, he's Darth Vader. He has Triple Attack because coupled with GMA because he kept attacking Obi-Wan, again and again, while they moved throughout the mining station. Djem So Style is for obvious reasons, and so is Indiscriminate. Rapport makes him a Dynamic Duo with the sith Darth Sidious.
Force 3 with Renewal 1 because he is Vader, while MotF2 is so that he can use Block twice. Lightsaber Block makes him a nightmare for enemy melee pieces, while Grip 1 represents his "attack" on Padme. Master Speed because he was, uh, fast, and because he was able to traverse large distances in order to attack Obi-Wan. Sith Rage because he was enraged.

Yes, but there is also the danger of picking a character that everyone is tired of. Truly, as long as there is a Wookieepedia page, I would think that everyone should be fine.

I've noticed some things quite interesting; First, almost every entry (including mine, which was a long time ago, my 3rd custom actually, I reuploaded it despite great ratings to erase an argument between a couple different guys) have 13-14 abilities, lol...

Also, a lot of uses of Sith Rage/Jedi Hunter obviously, but also repeated appearances of Indiscriminate (mine had it; that was part of the drive to make it, representing his merciless slaugherings etc.), and some other less common abilities. There seems to be a bit of a mold that these Sith Vaders are made in, that all of our customs in this contest almost are following. Quite strangest though, is the 13-14 abilities constantly, lol.

Hmmmm ..... my card has 10, but should you count Melee in a Jedi/Sith? Nine without counting melee (and if you ignore the "mandatory Double Attack (Triple in my case)" that all Jedi/Sith have lately I really only have 8 ... and if you ignore Lightsaber Defense (which all Master level pieces should have automatically) I only have seven .....

Here is my entry its Vader as hes attacking the Jedi Temple.

Well if you win then you get to chose the next guy (and we will all complain about your pick)
Anyways what two picks would have been better? we had Revan who is super custom friendly and has a huge fanbase, and Darth Vader who is the Main character in Star Wars.

To me card space is secondary with good character design and play ability being first however that might count toward/against someones vote for your character. Having "too much" on his stats won't disqualify a character but may have an impact nonetheless. For example consider that me and saber1 were concerned about Master Tactician in the OR the characters having this SA weren't disqualified but probably did impact the vote.
Personally? If my characters stats won't fit on a card, I would just say make the card bigger

i also make cards and if i dnt have enough room i either lower the font size or make the card slightly bigger

Not my intention to impede the designs of stats. I said up front its my pet peeve and I won't make stats that won't fit a card because I make cards ... but that's My handicap; never intended or ment it to handicap anybody else



Yet if you make the font too small, it's useless in a card (ever notice how small the TFU Revan card font is?) Also, if you amke a card "bigger" than its really an Epic and not the standard sized card which is what I aim at.

I've preached enough ... hit mute and carry on

Well, he was following Palpatine's orders at the time.
