I'm confused by Talisman Mind Control. Am I reading it correctly in that the all enemies within 4 are controlled regardless of the roll? The roll only defines the nature of the benefits and liabilities from switching squads for the remainder of the round?

Likely the glossary defination will be a lot longer. For the card text, I don't see it changing.

You see, that's why I'm not incharge of QC. We are beginning to finish up the cards, so minor things like that could change.

The wording as is confuses me. Is the power meant to read that enemies that join your squad for the round are also not subject to your squads Ce's for the round that they are on your team? It's not a permanent effect, right?

I believe it is only for the round.

Pretty much, you can gain quite a few allies for the round, but they won't be 100% effective.

So what is the benefit of bringing someone to your squad? To delay the game for a round? Cause It seems he won't be able to pull this out till round 3... But that round you wouldn't wanna waste it because I doubt enough people will be within 4 squares. So we will say round 4.... And you take a 50/50 chance of multiple people joining your side for what cause? By then their HP should be pretty low, so with their other people they could kill them in that round and take the Gambit.... Or, heaven forbid, you get Mace to switch squads, and then This fool dies and gives Mace All this fun stuff..... I'm just not sure what the design is for this piece. The control ability will never be used with Alchemy 4 in your possession, so... to me... It seems like an unneeded ability that just maks this guy cost more. Drop that ability completely and drop his cost by 10, and he atleast gets some tested play in some tournaments. But as of now... Until this rakghoul warrior is unleashed ( And he is just amazing or something) This guy will rest on the shelves with the majority of the Sith Faction.

He gets owned by Palleon squads, Vong, and Seps. Gimmick squads like Death shots (Mando or Naboo Pilot) beat him. Bastila will prevent Revan from swapping him in. Han Smug Commando squads win. Typical Mara, Ganner, Han sqauds will beat him.

Now that I think of it..... I dunno any squad that is played right now that he would do good against.

He is going to be a fun piece, thats for sure. But he is just another figure who looks cool, and will be used only in casual games, when the D8 rolls and you choose his squad at random

Cool ideas tho, and very very unique in his creation. Keep these going and the Sith may win a regional in the next 4 standard years

I'd like to try Muur out with Exar Force Sprit just so I have a ghost that makes people explode into Rakghouls.

I don't think he's as bad as shmi is making him out to be. He is a movement breaker, and fits well with the sith's version of tempo control (Having the ability to take away a enemy activations while increasing his own squads). While he does lack melee attack damage output and ranged attack defense, he will be extraordinarily hard to take down with other melee attacks (25 DEF, and 3 saves vs damage). The ability to auto kill a 40 hp character, replacing it with a rackghoul is extremely powerful. The ability to give 4 extra FP out at death in conjunction with a loaded alchemy 4 is awesome, and re-usable throughout is great if you have multiple lower cost force users (or to give pieces like zannah even more staying power) . I don't think he is top tier on his own right (I think he may have been if the cancellation of CEs/bonuses/etc was a permanent thing) but I don't think he's a crappy piece by any means. I think with some skill and the right build, he could function within competitive play, thought I don't know. I unfortunately read a lot about competitive play but don't do much of it these days.

Kind of funny to think of him, a SInq (Sith Inquistor), Exar-cist (Exar Force Spirit) for that turn and be turned ability. Imagine on GOWK or even Mace. Sure, no pro will put them in that position but, if it happens once, it would be hilarious.

Additional observation: The mind control says "Enemies" and not "living enemies" so the opponent's mouse wall might have deleterious effects for a round. I am sure the complete rule set will clarify.
