A bunch of entries. A lot of creativity and different flavors, but some common themes, too.

Here is my entry for the week. Dexter JestterThis is a "time span" piece that attempts to capture the highlights of several periods of his life. Dexter Jettster Dexter Jettster 22 Hit Points: 80 Defense: 17 Attack: 8 Damage: 10 Rarity: Rare Base: Large Special Abilities Unique Melee Attack (Can attack only adjacent enemies) Quadruple Attack (On his turn, this character can make 3 extra attacks instead of moving) Blaster Supplies (Replaces turn: choose 1 adjacent ally to gain Twin Blaster 10 for the rest of the skirmish) Heal 10 (Replaces attacks: touch; remove 10 damage from a living character) Informant (At the start of the skirmish, chose 1 Unique ally and 1 Unique enemy. For the rest of the skirmish the chosen ally gains Recon and against the chosen enemy he also gains +4 Attack and +4 to saves.) Munitions Supplies (Replaces turn: choose 1 adjacent ally to gain Grenades 10 for the rest of the skirmish)

Hey Y'all (In Cleveland voice) Here's my take on sir Dexter Jettster http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/16033/dexter-jettster--republic-informantDexter Jettster, Republic InformantHit Points: 90 Defense: 16 Attack: 6 Damage: 20 Special AbilitiesUnique, Twin AttackDouble Claw Attack (On his turn, this character can make 1 extra attack instead of moving; both attacks must be against adjacent enemies) Gregarious (+4 Attack if an ally is within 6 squares) Target Information (After setup, choose 1 ally with a Force Rating and 1 of the following: a specific faction, Unique enemies, Droid enemies, or enemies with a Force rating. The chosen character gets +4 Attack and +10 Damage against the chosen type of targets for the rest of the skirmish.) Camaraderie (Allies that count at Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Quinlan Vos gain Surprise Move and start the skirmish with +1 Force.) I went with 20 Damage, because besalisks are pretty big and strong and he was a fighter in his day. Also 20 range attack with twin because he was a gun-runner and probably knew how to use one, in at least 2 of his 4 hands. Target informant is just another way to give one ally Hunter, which I thought would be fun. And the gregarious and camaraderie is obvious.

Lord_ball's Dexter Jettster, Proprietor not bad Diplomat can work for this character (after all when was Akbar a Diplomat? And I don't here any complaints about that) Though if I were you I would have made a custom SA similar to Diplomat for him. Rapport is good. In my opinion he is overcosted Speed 4 will slow your squad down and he isn't going to be doing to much damage himself 8 Pegolego's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Shop Owner Arms Dealer is a good way to represent his early days however I 'm not a fan of the allies having to be adjacent any time they wish to benefit. Enemy Tactics Informant represents him give information about his opponents. Basically an upgraded Czerka Scientist that can shoot and take a shot. for that purpose I give you a 8 AndyHatton's Dexter Jettster, Informant the Smuggling Ring SA is very intriguing I like the help for the smugglers. I see Saber1's point about balancing when it comes to Running Guns but I don't think thats a huge problem. The Informant SA's are all interesting and all in a totally different direction then what I would have ever considered. 9 CorranHornsux123's Dexter Jettster, Bar Owner 4 attacks to represent four arms, check. Some Synergy for his three Jedi friends, check (literally) something to represent his Diner, (heal) check. The rest could use some work Lol I like how you tried to use Erased but I think I could have gone in a better direction. (I.E usable once per Skirmish this character may not be targeted until his next turn) Knowledge and Wisdom may give a huge boost to GOWK but then all you have to do is shot down the big 37 point target next to him! I do think Saber Dart Tech is to specific. He would have been 10 if Saber Dart Tech and Erased weren't there and if he costed about 10 less. all in all 9 Corranhorn's Dexter Jettster, The Duke of Diners hmm this guy can lay down some hurt is GenSky gives him momentum I do think he is undercosted and I don't think Dex would have GMA to begin with... Informant is good though 7 CerousMutor's Dexter Jettster Gun Runner is awesome on him! Great Tarples like bonus. Melee, Quad and CQC represents his Pro Boxing career. Data Spike is a great way to hide people but may be to powerful (his cost helps with that) Information Broker seems weird to me... I think Even with DA he could have costed 6 less. 8 FlyingArrow's Dexter Jettster, Gunrunner Crucial Information is interesting I like that it is once per Skirmish. Explosive Supplies is good. Gunrunner and Illegal Weapons Shop is were you lose me (especially with Speed 4!)I just don't see it as a good enough benefit. Tho I do see it getting some use with Panaka's swap. 8 Bubba Fett's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Smuggler Munitions Supplies is good (along the same lines as my version) Like the "double Spatula attack" Lift is actually a very fitting SA for Dex Skilled Observer is a good benefit but I 'm not sure about the name. 9 Deathwielded's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Dealer Meh this guy needs to put more effort into his customs harryg's Dexter Jettster, Trusted Informant This is a very interesting version. I woulfd have put Relay Orders in the Camaraderie and made Obi-Wans Informant give Master Tactics Broker to DEx if General Kenobi was in this Squad. Old Friend is cool and Blaster Upgrade is fine by me 9 Darthbane53's Dexter Jettster, Information Broker not much I like here sorry 7 saber1's Dexter Jettster Heal 10, Munitions Supplies and Quadruple Attack is good. Informant is a great way to represent him. I see Corranhorns point about Blaster Supplies but I think it is good nonetheless. Wait ther wasn't anything I didn't disagree with! well I guess that mean I got to give you a 10 Robobob's Dexter Jettster, Republic Informant I like how he can get his 4 attacks against adjacent enemies, Gregarious is perfect for Dex. Target Information seems familiar were have I seen that before? I like it though and think it is a great SA for Dex. I don't think Anakin should benefit from his Camaraderie Ferus would have been a better choice. And why should they get +1 force? Still a 10 SignerJ's Dexter Jettster I don't think he was quite big enough for Large Base. Stealth at first did't look like it should be on him then I remembered he was a part of thew Erased (to late at night for this lol) Jedi Sympathizer is a good bonus for the Rep's Jedi (especially in a Jorus or Dralling squad) I wasn't sure that he should have recon either then I remembered that he did give info on specific enemies (note previous comment about being tired) better then what I thought at first 9 P.S don't worry SignerJ you will win someday, just wait until we get to Caedus then you'll win for sure

Informant is good though 7 Thick Arms prevents him from getting extra damage from Momentum...or at least it's intended to, maybe the wording needs work.

No I think the wording is fine I meant that momentum would boost his attack enough that he could hit with those 4 attacks. I did realize that he won't be doing 30 per hit

He only has 10 base damage, he wouldn't be doing 30 per hit anyway.

Never thought of Gregarious. Nice call. Thanks, SingerJ. A couple people have commented on the +1 Force, and I'll admit I did some copying and pasting and forgot to edit that out. We'll just say the Diner's relaxing atmosphere and refreshing foods and beverages provide a morale boost to his favorite customers.

This weeks votes: (Wow, OK. Right before hitting 'post' my PC crashed. I can't believe my post was saved. Glad I don't have to retype 1 hour of work. Thanks Firefox!) Lord_ball's Dexter Jettster, Proprietor 8.0 Nice Rapport and kinda understand Diplomat, but maybe a modified custom SA could have worked better. Pegolego's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Shop Owner 9.5 I like your take on Informant and Arms Dealer. AndyHatton's Dexter Jettster, Informant 9.0 This guy has a lot of interesting uses. Smuggling Ring is esp. neat. CorranHornsux123's Dexter Jettster, Bar Owner 8.5 Good thinking on Independent Outfit. He wasn't 'erased' until after the Republic fell though. Corranhorn's Dexter Jettster, The Duke of Diners 8.5 Seems like we all like our Informant abilities. :) Don't know about GMA but I see the need for Thick Arms. CerousMutor's Dexter Jettster 9.0 I like the custom SAs here, but Close-Quarters with Melee Attack? FlyingArrow's Dexter Jettster, Gunrunner 9.0 I really like Crucial Info and Explosive Supplies, Close-Quarters makes sense here on a mini with range. Bubba Fett's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Smuggler 8.0 Skilled Observer is a nice different take on an Informant-type ability. Deathwielded's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Dealer 9.5 Hey, haven't seen Power Coupling in awhile. A like everything here. harryg's Dexter Jettster, Trusted Informant 8.0 Obi-Wan synergy is nice. Darthbane53's Dexter Jettster, Information Broker 8.5 You can pair this guy with some interesting minis to get plenty of extra attacks saber1's Dexter Jettster 9.0 Nice take on the supplies abilities. Robobob's Dexter Jettster, Republic Informant (me) SignerJ's Dexter Jettster 8.0 No extra attacks and speed 4?... JS can be potent with the right Jedi. Well, I really like a lot of the customs this week. So many different takes on supply and informant type abilites. It's a toss up between Pegolego and Deathwielded so I think I'll go with Pegolego this week. Good job everyone.

Here's my votes for this week!
Dexter Jettster, Proprietor (Lord Ball) 10 Great custom! At first I worried that with Diplomat, giving allies +4/+10 may very powerful, but it IS just to one enemy, so balance seems really good actually.
Dexter Jettster, Weapons Shop Owner (pegolego) I'm not even rating this crap!
Dexter Jettster, Informant (AndyHatton) 8 Seems to have limited uses, despite all his options. In an all-fringe Talon Karde squad he could be useful though.
Dexter Jettster, Bar Owner (CorranHornsux123) 9 Republic is an interesting choice on this custom. He can fight QUITE well, and has a lot of different uses. A bit overcost I think though.
Dexter Jettster, The Duke of Diners (corranhorn) 9 I just don't know about this one. I see enough 'Dex' here, but Thick Arms is a bit strange, and GMA on Dex? I don't know... Very CREATIVE take.
Dexter Jettster (Cerous Mutor) 10 I like this one. Could be VERY powerful, but the enemy shouldn't have too much trouble taking him out, so he seems pretty well balanced.
Dexter Jettster, Gunrunner (FlyingArrow) 10 Another Dex with many varied and realistic uses, but with still seemingly little use. However, of all the abilities in this contest that attempted to represent his trusted informant side, Crucial Information is by far my favorite. Great Dexter overall, and well balanced.
Dexter Jettster, Weapons Smuggler (Bubba Fett) 9 An interesting Dex. At first, he seemed overcost, but then I realized that he would replace ASP-7 in a lot of squads. Still, not undercost in my opinion. Nice Dexter!
Dexter Jettster, Weapons Dealer (Deathwielded) 10 Love the way IB turned out in the end, Power Coupling fits well. Nice job!
Dexter Jettster, Trusted Informant (harryg) 8 I like Old Friend, but not really Obi-Wans Informant (though I like that it helps the old Obi-Wan). Dexter Jettster, Information Broker (Darthbane53) 10 When I saw 'Information Broker' in the title, I thought 'oh dear, another MTB type ability', but it isn't, and I like this Dexter a lot.
Dexter Jettster (saber1) 9 Informant is interesting. I like all the supplies abilities that you gave him, though Twin Blaster may be too powerful on a some pieces. Not a sure thing though, and it replaces turn, so it's not too easy to dish out. Good job!
Dexter Jettster, Republic Informant (robobob) 10 I like the Camaraderie and Target Information. Good in-faction Republic shooter/booster
Dexter Jettster (SignerJ) 9 Large is interesting on him. Helps balance him too. Good, if simple custom.
Great job everyone! Made me work with all the entries this week. My vote overall goes to Lord Ball, displaying his customs-mastery on this difficult to design custom.

Lord_ball's Dexter Jettster, Proprietor Not a fan of the reusing Informant on many characters. Otherwise good. 8.
Pegolego's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Shop Owner Decent Czerka replacement plus a couple other tricks. 8.
AndyHatton's Dexter Jettster, Informant The specialized boosts are too specialized. I like the Smuggler boost. 7
CorranHornsux123's Dexter Jettster, Bar Owner 3 rounds is a long time… and easy to forget. Might as well be for the whole skirmish. I wouldn’t think of Dex as an 80dmg shooter, especially in the Bar Owner stage of life. 7
Corranhorn's Dexter Jettster, The Duke of Diners Thick Arms is confusing. When he hits, is his damage 20 or 10? Other than that, I like it. Informant is perfect, but cost should maybe be a bit higher. 9.
CerousMutor's Dexter Jettster Gun Runner sure seemed powerful – and then I saw his cost. For 36, it should be powerful. 8.
FlyingArrow's Dexter Jettster, Gunrunner I really like the idea of Gunrunner/Illegal Weapons Shop, but on further thought, it’s just not very useful. Probably should have been a within 6 ability (or maybe within 3). Adjacent makes it too hard to use. Really happy with how Crucial Information works, though. I’m a big fan of the ideas in this design, but ultimately the execution fell short.
Bubba Fett's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Smuggler Neat to see Lift used again. 7.
Deathwielded's Dexter Jettster, Weapons Dealer I like the various supplies. IB is nice, but needs to be re-worded. It also may be a bit too powerful. 9.
harryg's Dexter Jettster, Trusted Informant Beefy Blaster Upgrade option with initiative control. 7.
Darthbane53's Dexter Jettster, Information Broker Nice combination of high HP, low defense. 7.
saber1's Dexter Jettster I like informant and the weapons supplies. 8.
Robobob's Dexter Jettster, Republic Informant Gregarious was a great call. Target Information is not something I want to see Mace Legacy gaining access to. 6.
SignerJ's Dexter Jettster I like it. Clean and pretty simple boost to lower-cost Jedi. 8.5
Two stood out to me for the flavor of the character and the resulting gameplay: corranhorn's and DeathWielded's. SignerJ was close to those two. Either one of my top two could have sealed it and earned a 10 except each had wording issues on one of the abilities (and they both probably could have been bumped a bit on the cost). But since I understand the intent of DW's Information Broker, and I'm not sure how to interpret Thick Arms, I'm going to go with DeathWielded for my vote.
