@leshippy,

May the force be with you, and the v-set counsel.


Cheers

This came up in another thread, but I thought I would put it here... another suggestion for a 3 point piece. A very minimal Force spirit:

Yoda's Resting Spirit
Cost: 3
Unique, Emplacement
Spirit: (Just like Light Spirit but doesn't grant FR1 or Mettle... not a target, kill for a force point, save 11, yada yada...)
Force 1
CE: An ally within 3 squares may spend this character's Force Points. Can't combine or spend more than once.


The filler pieces fill a lot of roles: activations, blockers, door openers, door control, etc. This piece would not be a blocker (for targeting) or a door opener, so it wouldn't be in every squad. But getting one force point, activation, and obstacle for 3 points. Useful sometimes.

+1 especially to Wheelbike

Grievous Wheelbike
87
HP 200
Def 21
ATk 14
Dmg 30
SA
Unique
Cyborg
Damage Reduction 10
Twin Attack
Wheeled
Mounted Weapon
Wall Climber
Dismount (when this character is defeated, immediately place a character named General Grievous with a cost of 50 or less in one of the squares this character formally occupied, save 11)
Momentum
Crush (During this characters movement it cannot enter any square twice. This character can enter squares occupied by medium or smaller enemy characters, an enemy character affected in this way takes 20 damage and must immediately move to an empty square adjacent to this character. Save 6 to avoid the damaging effect.)

Currently, one unit exists with Dismount. V-Set's Nightsister on Rancor. Granted, it's a 62 pt piece that gives way to a 20 pt piece.

Hi if you are considering a mini set with dismount, there are is more I can contribute.
Note that there are more pieces you can add to that list just from the movies. Count Dooku from attack of the clones. Obviously Lea and Luke from return of the Jedi.
Of course the dismount ability is the main driver behind the idea, but we can look at it to do different things for different factions. I believe movement breaker for the separatist is a big one. The idea behind that would be to give the speed bikes or hovercrafts very low shields and hit points. So for example you would give Dookus bike 20-40 hit point and 15 defenses, accelerate but no attack so he would have to dismount to attack. Again the main idea here would be to brink Dooku behind enemy lines. For Grievous wheel bike you could give him some special ability to grab someone while moving and bring him back to your camp, in the movies we see him grab clone troopers and sling them into a pit…, be pretty cool to execute. The grab part could be a save11; so that if he does not grab one piece he could grab another. You could also force enemies to move while the wheel bike goes through. Again Grievous can’t attack from the wheel bike but must dismount. Darth maul would be different he would have a dismount attack, similar to charging fire, but he would have leaping overhead strike ( LOL ) as seen in the movies for 40 damage or something like that, but yeah. I can’t fill in the details. I’m just an idea guy. Will send more if I come up with other ideas.

Cheers,

Hmmmm...Have I seen this someplace before? Have you posted this before someplace else.

An old republic force sprit. Andur Sunrider would be nice. More shooters for them between 5 and 15 points.

Less 50+ characters in all factions.

Less fringe per set, 6 characters is more than enough considering just how many fringe we now have.

Empire:
- Emperor Palpatine, Reborn (or Cloned)
- Luke Skywalker, Dark Apprentice
- Luuke Skywalker
- Sedriss, Hand of the Emperor
- Appo, 501st Commander (could give out Jedi Hunter other 501st)
- Tavion
- Brakiss
- Ved Kennede (he trained Royal guards)- he could boost royal guards by giving them dark armor & evade;
- Inquisitor Probus Tesla

Fringe:
- Kueller (give him Rival for Luke Skywalker and camradiere for Brakiss)

Mnggal-mnggal Ooze, or a shape-shifting character.

we kicked around the idea of a shape shifter when the new Zam was created. I would have to go back and look at that thread, but shape shifting might be one of those things that sounds easy till it come to a rules definition.

I could see some sort of ideas such as at the start of the skirmish pick one enemy character. This character gains the name, attack, defense, and damage of that character till this character has taken 50 pts of damage.

It could also be that the character you chose is the only character that could target this character till it take 50 pts of damage.

Just thoughts.
