Lord_Ball wrote:kobayashimaru wrote:@lord ball, Cool Clawdite ability!  Very flavorful, however i think maybe it requires an ongoing save? (like Force Corruption) Since in the movie, Zam occasionally flashed back to her 'true' clawdite form. It's definitely an ability that has potential, but I don't think a save is really necessary, however with that in mind extensive playtesting would be needed to make sure such versatility is appropriately costed (or if it should require a save, or other limitations). Also would need to elaborate on it that she could only count as having "1 name" at a time, so she couldn't benefit from a Jawa and Tusken CE at the same time. Something like this: Clawdite: at the beginning of each round, before the first activation of the round, select one small or medium character on the board; this character counts as that character for the purpose of special abilities and commander effects until the end of round, or until this character is defeated)

Shapeshifter (This character can count as any species)
Since Vong is a faction in our game it doesn't interact with Shaper/Scarification/etc., but she could do stuff like get Superstealth and +4 attack from Niles, get +4 attack and Evade from A'Sharad, get Wookiee-specific stuff from a few people, things like that. Yeah, I really like that ability!! I don't know if necessarily fits with "shapeshifter" though. This ability seems to indicate "intelligence" or the ability to adapt to new cultures and groups, than merely a "disguise". In that sense, maybe a crafty character like Lando, or a mercenary/soldier for hire could get this ability.

Bringing it back to Aurra Sing again. I gave some thought to what I had posted earlier for her, and have a revised version. Maybe Flurry instead of quick reactions, as it can benefit from the stolen lightsaber ability. Maybe take that extra bit away altogether and drop the cost a tad. Cost seems fairly reasonable as is, with the high damage and bit of grab bag she has. I always feel funny making a cost, it's hard to judge things when some abilities vary so much. Cybernetic implant is based off her antennae and biocomputer implants. Seems pretty fitting for her, I went with the generic name because I figure something like that can see other use elsewhere as well. but yeah I like this one. I don't always play customs stats, but this one I want to give a shot for sure to revise again likely. Quote:Aurra Sing, Assassin for Hire
Fringe
Cost 57
Hit Points 130
Defense 21
Attack +11
Damage 20
Unique (Counts as a character named Nashtah)
Stealth
Twin Attack
Sniper
Quick Reactions
Assassin (+4 attack and +10 damage against living enemies)
Stolen Lightsaber (Attacks made against adjacent characters with a Force Rating can critically hit with a natural roll of 18,19, or 20)
Cybernetic Implant (this character can benefit from commander effects, regardless of range restrictions)
Force 3
Lightsaber Sweep
Lightsaber Riposte

Just personal preference, but I'd give her accurate instead of sniper and bump her cost to fifty.....its sorta her trademark ability and no one uses the A&E version because she lacks it........its sorta like making a boba without flight.....oh....wait....they did that in A&E as well......

I figured sniper because that's the real calling card by technicality, but that and accurate shot are already similar, its a weird one. Maybe give her Pirate as an ability so she can benefit from Hondo. They did imply a romance on the show, might as well pair them up  50 seems too low, especially with accurate over sniper. Compare her to Bane or a Fett and you'll see. But I dunno, fun stats are fun lol.

Who is the design team for set 4 and where is that information (lead designers/playtesters/etc) posted? Or is the team even set yet? The design team for V-set 4 consists of myself, Weeks, leshippy, and urbanjedi. They can reveal their true identities if they wish.

oh!
then in that case yeah sure. I think the more diverse a characters abilities are, or unique, it's the sort of thing that needs a lot of discussion to balance out with the cost.

I figure the upgrade from sniper to accurate is 3 points......hey, the clone trooper with night vision pays 4 points for accurate
