There are many great custom cards here!

However, I wanted to use some of the presented custom characters, but after printing and cutting their cards I found a lot of shortages...

Bail Organa, Alliance Founder - he costs only 34, but brings Reinforcements of 30 and he has very good CE. He needs to cost more.

Mon Mothma, Alliance Founder - her CE is not clear... at the the end of her turn, non-unique Rebel follower's within 6 squares may EACH make 1 immediate attack. Each!!! This is too powerful...

Black Sun Leader Alexy Garyn - he costs only 28, but is too powerful character and he also brings 30 (Thirty) points of Fringe Reinforcements!!!
He needs to cost at least 55, or more...

Yuuzhan Vong Seductress - she needs to have Melee Attack.

Nei Rin, Ossus Master Shaper - as a Master Shaper she gives +10 damage, but as a Shaper it is +20! It is not clear why would any YV ally take her Master Shaper when her ordinary Shaper SE is much stronger...?

Galactic Marine Commander - he misses Elite Clone Trooper Special Ability, and he costs only 14 while his CE is too much. He needs to cost more! And why he doesn't have Squad Firepower by himself?

Wookiee Chieftan - I think Chieftain is better and he is the post powerful charter ever according to his price and what does he gets and brings. He needs to cost much, much more. I already fixed his price to 45 that we can use him.

Keep up and continue great work.

I think Corran and I (and a few other people) have discussed Resereves/Reinforcememts are thr hardest to cost. I'm starting o develop the idea that Reinforcements probably should cost their abilities cost + the cost of what they bring in; lets say it costs 12 for abilities + 20 Reinforcements = 32 cost. Reserves on the other had are trickier in that you're not guarenteed. I've noticed if a piece has 20-30 Reserves, it cost 10-15 (or half its Reserve cost) + Abilities cost. THat my be the new formula I use from now on.



The Bivall pic is actually unique character (and a Sep) How about "This ability is not affected by abilities affecting Commander Effects Range."

Givin - Would a "non-unique" addition help? .... and I was thinking Rebs would benefit most; course I could go all Fringe on the piece and say "Fringe Pilots."

Shadowport Smuggler - 10 pts sounds good.

Healer - I actually have an idea or two for it

See, I have to disagree here. A few reasons why...
1) The Rebels do not have, and will likely never get Booming Voice.
2) It is severely limited by "non-Unique Rebel". The Rebel non-Uniques are pretty bad for the most part, save the ERC, and you won't be able to have fringers get the benefits.
3) Before S&V released (after DotF, obviously) Rebels were the armpit of SWM. Bastila could shut them down in a heartbeat. Even after S&V, while they are good, the Rebels still need to get good pieces to bring them to top tier. Mothma dosen't synergise particularly well with the Rebel Tier 1 pieces atm, for the most part.

I really like her Booming Voice! It is great. But I pointed out other things. Her CE is problem: with Booming Voice all the Rebel army will get free shot after her turn!!!
And please forget the Bastila - it is now not a problem with Bastila or other factions, but with Mothma's CE!

Re: Reinforcements-I actually think the piece should cost a few points more than bailities+reinforcement amount. The versatility you get from Reinforcements is worth a few points, even when you take into account the effect of having to split up your squad.
Ex- If a piece had Reinforcements 20 and 15 points of abilities/stats, I'd cost it at 38.

This is a good way to count the cost of Reserve Bringers!!! Now you can make an errata on them.


Don't forget other pieces I pointed out:

Yuuzhan Vong Seductress - she needs to have Melee Attack.

Nei Rin, Ossus Master Shaper - as a Master Shaper she gives +10 damage, but as a Shaper it is +20! It is not clear why would any YV ally take her Master Shaper when her ordinary Shaper SE is much stronger...?

Galactic Marine Commander - he misses Elite Clone Trooper Special Ability, and he costs only 14 while his CE is too much. He needs to cost more! And why he doesn't have Squad Firepower by himself?


Also, EV-9D9 Supervosor Droid - I think Supervisor would suit better.

Sorry, I don't have these fixed cards; I'll try to find them...

Galactic Marines have SA Elite Clone Trooper. So why would their commander be without that SA. I don't understand what you are explaining about them, but with Clone Commander Bacara they gain Stealth. All, except your Galactic Marine Commander...

And, as I explain before, his price is too low, he needs to cost little more...


Ossus Shaper - She "gives" a power; why can't she have a stronger power herself. I teach history but that doesn't mean my students learn everything I know!
This explain not so much...


What do you decide about Reserve bringers costs?

I don't keep track of "where" certain cards are, and I don't always "fix" them insofar as changing the pic. I just discuss it and move on; I looked up my last change on that card and it was last May; 9 months ago. Sorry.

On a side note, I had an idea and may be releasing something in the next day or so ....

Yes I saw that. I guess the "problem" is new people breeze through the thread and only look at the cards and don't read the discussions.

I remember a big discussion over reserves/reinforcements months ago which he obviously missed. No big deal. Godz know I'm certainly not perfect; even WOTC and the V-Set crew have errata anfd they had multiple bodies and much smarter people than I looking at the final card.

On a side note, I like your take on the Rebel Commando Spotter; looks like my Advance Scout but with Advantageous Cover! I like the Cover idea; I may steal it I'd join in Shatterpoints discussion but I'd have NO idea which of my 1000 odd cards to pick; some of them aren't so good but some are.

I've been busy, but I've got another 30 odd cards in various stages of being done (mostly done actually.) If the grandkids leave me alone I may get them done soon ... or not

OK, Well, here we are again. I’ve been researching and reading a lot in between being Grandpa. I’ve caught up on using some of my newer favorite pics, I’ve found a few new ones and I’ve got another (hopefully) fun batch of stuff.


So, technically, I’ve got two mini sets here. The first group is just the usual hodge podge of cards.
Comments, etc. welcome, even if you’re just trying to catch up on something. Who knows, I may have missed something along the way ….



ARC Plex Trooper Well, not that they needed anything, really, but you would think against all the droids they fight, more missiles would be around.







ARC Sergeant My only comment … has anyone else noticed that ARC (Advanved Recon Commando) troopers don’t have Recon? Seems strange.







Jagged Fel, Imperial Hero It seemed to me the WOTC piece didn’t really do him justice. Actually, the hard part about piece may have been what to call him; didn’t want to go “Head of State” but just “Commander” didn’t feel right either. Almost went with Galactic Hero but went Imperial Hero instead.







Jaina Solo, Jedi Master Somehow to me, the V-Set Sword of the Jedi piece didn’t quite capture the fact that Jaina’s become a real Beast of a Jedi thanks to that Skywalker blood. Taking Luke out of the equation, I think she’d be up there with Kyle (due to his age) as one of the more powerful Jedi of her time.







Rodian Gunslinger The first of my Shadowport mini’s this set.







Shadowport Arms Dealer My only question; should he be 17 pts? I always thought the Czerka Scientist should have been 10, not 13.







Shadowport Dock Denizen This girl looks like she could take on a Wookie. I’m wondering about the Cheap Shot SA (she looks the type to take one too) and is the wording about right.







Shadowport Lowlife Just the type you’d find in a back ally.







Shistavanen Epsis Guard Epsis, a Shadowport Ciminal Organization …..







Toydarian Security Guard The Shadowport Security.







Yuuzhan Vong Spy A more generic Vong infiltrator; I’m wondering if she should have been 20-22 (the more I think about it, 19 seems a few points low.







My next group is what I call the Jedi Temple group. People that would have been on hand at any time (Except my Republic unique) during the 1,000 generations the Jedi were around. Some are new, some I’ve revamped …




Chief Healer of the Temple The Chief Healer must have been a dang powerful Healer back in the day, the way







Jedi Archeologist The kind of Jedi that was more scientist/field expert than true Jedi, but someone that still had a connection to the force. An older, updated piece.







Jedi Archivist Just as a Dark Side Nexus made Jedi feel sick, I’d imagine a Light Side Nexus may have a similar effect on Sith (Anakin and Malgus aside because they were Really cranked up to fight.)







Jedi Explorer Just trying t imagine what a member of the Jedi ExplorCorp would be like.







Jedi Knight Serra Keto I still say (even if I never played the Game, that Serra must have been a beast to put up the fight she did against Anakin in the Temple Purge. A redo of an earlier piece.







Jedi Master Cin Drallig I’m surprised, given that he was the Jedi Weapon Master, he didn’t put up a better fight in the end ….. Wasn’t he supposed to be one of the best??







Jedi Master Jocasta Nu I somehow imagine her to be the type to rally the young Jedi into putting up a fight before Anakin shows up. Another redo.







Jedi Temple Brute I did this guy awhile ago; updated him, and while I’m sure there were only a few dozen around, I imagine the 501st must have had a heck of a time cleaning out the Temple; they never mention how bad the 501st got hurt, but I bet they took heavy casualties that day.







Jedi Temple Gate Master While the Gate Master the day of the Purge was male, I could see in the past it could have been a female. The abilities reflect the type of person prepared to keep someone “Out.”







Jedi Temple Padawan The must have been dozens and dozens of Padawan around the Temple on any given day. The WOTC padawan didn’t seem to reflect a real Padawan’s general ability.







Jedi Temple Sniper I recently did this one and just include it here to round out the Temple’s defenders.







Jedi Temple Tech Specialist Now this is a piece I’m sorta not quite sure about. The Temple caretakers were some bright people; trustworthy and the Techs were supposed to be dang good. But …. should Master Override have made him 20 pts instead of 17? There should have been some way for the Temple (at Least) to have the ability to lock down the doors if they’d wanted.







Temple Security Force Anyone ever notice these guys look like Naboo troopers except for blue instead of brown uniforms?







Temple Security Officer Brownie points for recognizing the pic’s origins. An old, resurrected and updated piece.







Well, I hope there are some interesting tidbits here. I could’ve added on some more except I decided to to release these because they were burning a hole in my pocket; I’m already working on the next batch. Feel free to comment, good and bad on anything that strikes your fancy.

Peace

Honestly, I didn't notice the V-Set was released today until After I posted this set More on that in a sec

Serra - I actually thought I was "aggressively" costing her; I almost put her at 46.

The Temple Security Officer figure is actually a Heroclix mini ... no more hints

.... as to the new V-Set; I've only given it a cursory peak as yet; BUT .... I find it amusing that their Antarian Ranger Captain is DAAAAAAAng close to my Antarian Ranger Commander I made almost exactly one year ago this weekend (I think its on page 9 of this thread. Its either one monster coincidence, or just a case of like minds thinking alike .... ......that and the fact I had a Mandalorian Infiltrator piece I was working on and they just made one on their new set. Maybe mine won't look quite the same .....

However it seems, I am amused

Yes the Antarian is dang close; wonder if I influenced anyone

Now ... Commentary!


Arc Plex - I can live with losing Double.

Arc Sarge - it says "Ignore" and I even double checked because I can be a spaz As for the CE, I figure more people with Recon, more chance for a good initiative roll.

Fel - Thanks, he needed an upgrade; Pilots already get plenty. Couldn't he be an alternative to the Klat.

Jaina, Serra, & Cin - Maybe a 5 pt cost cut across the board? I'm starting to wonder about my cost calc and high end pieces.

Arm Dealer - I thought it'd be more in line with giving bigger pieces something, like a spaceport might have ...

Cheap Shot - You don't think the one-time only use doesn't limit it enough? A 16 is too limiting to be of much use.

Lowlife - The calc said 5; I thought that was too cheap. I opted to err on the side of caution. 6?

YV Spy - This is the second time I spaced on giving Melee to a Vong. Must be a block.

Archeologist - You think he should go up? Except for the Holocron and his Force Heal, he's rather useless; doesn't even have Double Attack.

Archivist - i was worried that he'd be undercosted and the Artifact would be too strong.

ExplorCorp - I thought I'd read that the Agri and Archeologists were the weaker ones but that Explorers were occassionally more powerful Jedi that had the wandering urge to explore; somehow I can't see Wook's being too weak.

Brute - I'm starting to think "bigger" pieces are subject to not only what SA's and FP's they have, but how many. I bet Force Alter, Sense, Leap, Heal, and Weapon would "cost more than Force Repulse 5 alone just because that's five FP's vs one. .... I was actually more comfortable costing him 27-29 personally

Padawan - duhhhhh

Sniper - He was an update - I think the original was made before the Agile SA was created? You think Agile would be better than a reworded leap?

Master Override - Yes Open or Close All doors within 12; picking/choosing which would be opened and/or closed would be more work than a gamer wants .... and too overpowered as you said.

Thanks for the comments and the on the rest.

Cheers

Order 66: A character with this special ability may be in a squad with Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord, regardless of faction.

Some characters cannot be in a squad with characters with Order 66. In case you want to build a squad and run into Palp with Execute Order 66, you could attack him if you make your save.

Cheap Shot - maybe I'll make it +6 and a Save 16.

Archeologist it'd that Holocron that makes it hard to quantify - maybe 17.

Brute - ok, you didn't have to twist my arm much to get 28

Sniper - I can do Acrobatic

I usually change the pics but frankly I may just start doing an Errata Adendum instead


PS - Temple Security Officer - Hint - "Inspector"
