Alright: I've got an idea: drop the HP down to 40, but give him an ability like Blast-Proof Armor (When this character takes damage from a non-melee attack, he reduces the damage dealt by 10.)
Then, raise the cost, and voila! the new and improved Stormie!

No Dark armor works on anything but a lightsaber, this works on non-melee attacks, so pieces that have melee attack but don't have a lightsaber, like Jarael, can't be affected by Dark armor, but by this.

So you're suggesting that he has "weak spots" and take an auto 30 (or 40 from darth bane or sith rage or lightsaber percision)? Force attunted armor effect might be a lil better.

Ummm...Anyone else care to comment? I'm really looking for input...maybe?...possibly?...please?

I was going to go with DR, but...You've played the game, right (and posted quite a few customs from it)? They could be taken the other stormies could be taken down easy by reflecting their fire back at them...I imagine that they would be the same. I don't want to make them immune to, say, Rebel Trooper fire, who are trained to kill them...I'm kinda on the fence on balance between some resilience to shooters (but not too much) and being able to be taken down easily by lightsabers.

That last post was poorly phrased. I very much appreciate critique, but compromising between accuracy and what I/you guys think they should roughly be like is kinda...difficult? No, that's not the right word... uhhh... contrariwise? That might be the right word... I will probably think of the perfect word at the worst possible time tomorrow, and forget it before I can come back here

not too bad

You did a nice Job HBSV, you're set is awesome.

More input:

1. DVBotJ completely replaces all Vaders. For the cost of DVSotJ you gain all its best and all the best of Unleashed for the same cost. Not to mention it is front-loaded to use LST5 in round 1, eliminating the need for Palps on Throne.
2. DV'sA has a lot of direct damage potential/options for only 34 points. Additionally, he is a much more dangerous melee attacker than the two WotC pieces.
3. Imperial Medic seems much more like a nonmelee beast than a healer. Quad and Twin? Way over the top. Medical supplies and heal are great choices though.
4. Lord Palpaine is both too expensive and too powerful. Tone down WotDS's damage potential and drop LP's cost accordingly. Also, JHE should probably be JH instead. Even then, how often did Palps personally hunt jedi?
5. Shadow Stormtrooper...I'll take it!
6. Kazdan is very cool but should be toned down a bit. Don't reinvent IDR, use what WotC gave us. Also, there should be a limitation to the CE as it is super powerful. Multiple IG-86s with Programmed Target is just one brutal example I'd prefer not to see. Also, Cyborg would make sense with your Robotic Apparatus.
7. Shaak's CE is fantastic. She makes Felucians more useful and straightens the aim of the Rebels. The loss of Cunning and Reposte is :-( but given what she gains is an acceptable trade-off.
8. Bail has Diplomat and Stealth? Also, Reserves 30 may be a bit much. Perhaps drop to 20.
9. I like what you are trying to do with Juno. However, she will either be 34 wasted points or create absolutely broken CE synergies depending on what your opponent brings to the table.
10. Kento is severly undercost. Also, giving a charater FP1-5 seems like a shotgun approach. Pick 2, perhaps FP2 and FP5 and give him something else. Also, parry with the easy addition of Evade from Rieekan with renewal and Duelist makes him very difficult to kill for a sub-30 point character.
11. Wookie Crusader, if everything stacks, has far too much damage potential for a 16 point piece. I suggest dropping Impulsive Selfishness.
12. Bull Rancor = nasty ouchness!
13. Felucian Clan Chieftain should have a base damage of 10 as does the Force Adept (given that they both have Force Weapon).
14. MBFL looks solid, though her starting force should be 3 given she is very likely to gain renewal 2.
15. Darth Desolus: why such a huge Lightning? Drop to 4 or 5. DA20 seems a bit much as well. Also, Block seems odd. Did this character not use a Lightsaber? Drop the HP, Lightning and cost.
16. Darth Phobos has some interesting abilities. DoF and ISYF are pretty strong combined with a base attack of 16 with Triple and Twin. Once based, DP will pretty much auto-hit anyone and is a severe pain to kill. I might tone down the attack and defense stats so that it relies more on DoF and ISYF. Also, I'd at least drop Triple in favor of Double.

There is some very good work here. I hope I don't sound overly critical and that my input helps refine your creations.

Its still too powerful as he can move out into the open and just blast everyone for massive damage. The problem as I see it is the LOS portion. Perhaps have it target a character within LOS and then deal the same damage to all characters within 6 of the target. Otherwise, on open maps, you can devastate an entire squad in one activation under not uncommon circumstances.



IDR 35 seems so out of place to me. 5's are not often used in this game so a 35 seems foreign. Most everything else is in multiples of 10 and upping your SA to 40 would be redonkulous. Why not trip down the Junk droids so that they fit under the 30 point halo?



At this stage of the game LST5 is the signature power of Vader, Unleashed and giving it to another Vader steals VU's thunder. Why not drop it to LST4? And I would not give Vader a starting force of 1 because it doesn't fit him. F2,FR1 or F2,FR2 would be ok.



Why not drop push completely and leave Grip 2 and Repulse 2?



Or Twin and Flurry.




I like that. Sounds good.
