CorranHornsux123's Jaina Solo, Jedi Hero and Mandalorian Ally
Mind Wipe turned out to be a pretty darn good Force power. The two-tiered approach, both save dependent, was the right way to go. Most of the abilities look accurate to the character, though I really don't see the canon support for Han being able to go into a Mandalorian faction. (yes, I know the Fringe Han can but that is arguably from a time before he ever crossed paths with Boba Fett) Along those lines, I must concur with the sentiment that Father's Ex Arch Enemy is a clumsy name. (Don’t worry too much about it as the name of an ability isn’t all that important). As I mentioned in another rating, BH+4 isn't a good fit (at least in name) due to the fact that I don't recall Jaina ever taking a bounty. Additionally, I'm not a fan of the subtitle. It’s just too clunky, though it is accurate I'll give you that. I do like both of the chosen “Hunter” abilities which make her exceptionally deadly against 2 factions.8.75

SignerJ's Jaina Solo, Jedi Assassin
Pieces with Assassin in their name should have the Assassin special ability, or so my opinion tells me. I read your reasoning in the comments section of your custom and even follow that logic to a certain degree. However, that doesn't fully alleviate my issue. Also, since you are specifically referencing Jaina's time stalking her brother, why did you opt for a non-melee custom? I don't recall her using a blaster in that book, certainly not enough to warrant a lack of Melee Attack. Moreover, she kills Caedus with her lightsaber. The rest of the piece looks good and is appropriately priced. 8.75

pegolego's Jaina Solo, Jedi Avenger
The suite of abilities is very accurate to the timeframe of the character you've chosen with one exception. Gaining Bounty Hunter is questionable. Sure, the in-game mechanic makes sense but she never actually takes a bounty. Again, I understand the +4 to attack from Boba and this route was probably the easiest/cleanest, but it still fits poorly. It’s probably just my hang-up on the name. SotJ is a very good ability, and unique (kudos). However, as it is unique to this character, it doesn't play as unique as I'd prefer. She was the one-and-only SotJ, so a Force power of that name should provide a more unique effect. Despite wookieepedia's inclusion of it in her powers, I don't recall her having the ability to generate lightning. I'm ready to be proven wrong, though as it’s been a long time since I read Dark Journey. As for your choice of Rival, I think it fits nicely. 8.75

BFMV123's Jaina Solo, Yuuzhan Vong Nemesis
First, cool name. It really pegs the timeframe of the character and the suite of abilities/powers you've assembled stays true to the period. For instance, Protective and Vong Hunter both make sense here and give her some very good, albeit situational, damage output. Where you've gone astray, I fear, is with Vongsense and UtF60. I don't recall Jaina ever exibiting either during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Moreover, both are abilities that should be very limited due to their strength and the fact that they are centerpiece attributes of other characters. Including them here steals thunder from pieces like Anakin Solo, Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker. 8.75

Gungan Batman Clone's Jaina Solo, Trickster
Pure Vong beatdown pretty much sums up this piece. IVH, though highly situational, combines with DT to give her a potential of 100 damage against the Yuuzhan Vong. Toss in Pilot synergies and it bumps to 120 damage and she just wrecks fools! Then you add in Jeedai Heresy. Pshht, fugidaboutit! Lights out for the YV. As mentioned above, I'm not convinced Lightning is fitting, but otherwise this is a very tidy, potent and flavorful Jaina. 9

Lord_Ball's Sticks (Jaina Solo)
Love the name! I think Ace Pilot could use a bit more tightening of the screws in the wording department but it gets the point across and is an interesting mechanic. What would make it far more useful is an affinity that brought in Rebel characters with Mounted Weapon. I want to run this piece and rock a sweet Rebel Troop Cart. Brutal Strike is a great Force power and I appreciate its inclusion here. Nice work. 9

CerousMutor's Jaina Solo, Trickster Goddess
Another YV-themed entry. The cost, stats and abilities all look good. Though I could argue that the synergy you've chosen doesn't make complete sense here, the mechanic is a welcome boost to Kyp. I must say that the final version is much tidier than the one I initially commented on so kudos for your receptivity to input. The lower cost and intriguing interactions make this an appealing piece. 9.25


AndyHatton's Jaina Solo Fel, Jedi Master
She's a deadly one. Look no further than the combination of Twin/LSA/Brutal Strike/MotF2. That's 80 points of unavoidable OUCH! Key up Deceptive and she gets 50% more OUCH! Master Shaterpoint is certainly far more useful that the WotC version, though I feel the piece wouldn't miss it much if it was dropped. That being said, Flurry would have made MS much more interesting if swapped in for Deadly Attack. The CE isn't bad, but there aren't any beneficiaries that spring to mind that already have Flurry to capitalize on the gain of DA. Oops, almost forgot to mention the synergy! I have some regret that it didn't make the final cut for my entry so I'm especially glad to see its inclusion here. 9.25

Deathwielded's Sticks, Rogue Eleven
Another great name selection! This is a clean, simple and inexpensive custom. Your decision to make Trickster relevant in non-YV skirmishes is wisely tempered with a somewhat subdued effect. At only -2, no reasonable argument can be made that it is too powerful. Rather, it will simply serve as an annoyance when it is successfully used. The cost and base stats look appropriate and I like the use of Deceptive. The Force powers are pretty generic, but certainly useful. This is an understated piece pulled off very well. She just walks up to you and says, "Hi, I'm a pilot version of Jaina and oh, by the way, I happen to be a bit of a trickster". 9.25

saber1's Jaina Solo, Avatar of Yun-Harla
This is my piece, therefore I shall not give it a rating or vote. I will, however, award it 3 bajillion , 2 hundred and 1

It comes down to the entries from CerusMutor and Deathwielded. Ironically, they are very similar pieces , making it so difficult to decide between the two. My vote goes to CerousMutor's Jaina Solo, Trickster Goddess

Pegolego, Jedi Avenger: 9.25
While they are all fitting the attack boosts are a bit out of hand. Perhaps Drop Loner and IJH and maybe even the +4 from SotJ, in favor of Impulsive Loner and Deceptive?

AndyHatton, Jedi Master: 9
with high base stats synergy feels unnecessarily strong to me. I think I would have preferred a camaraderie with Fel (or slightly lower stats 20/+12)

Gungan Batman Clone, Trickster: 8.75
While accurate she comes across as mostly a vong-hate piece.

CerousMutor, Trickster Goddess: 9.25
Very nice simplistic version.

SignerJ, Jedi Assassin: 9
Very good use of no custom abilities, unfortunately she feels a bit similar to Celeste Morne that it's hard for me to see Jaina in this.

CorranHornsux123, Jedi Hero and Mandalorian Ally: 8.75
Alot going on her, perhaps too much for my taste and I'm not a fan of the double save in Mind Wipe.

BFMV123, Yuuzhan Vong Nemesis: 8.5
A name never fit a set of stats as accurately, unfortunatley that means she's a bit too vong-hate for my taste.

Deathwielded, Rogue Eleven: 8.5
Not a fan of this version of Trickster Goddess, to me it just does too much, especially if compared to Force Alter (no FP cost, affects Attacks and Saves, provides a penalty).

saber1, Avatar of Yun-Harla: 9
Given the CE it feels clunky for Shadow Bomb to affect the attack of the next pilot ally. Perhaps if it was a combined fire force power in that case. With that approach it might get a little wordy (If this character combine fire with an allied Pilot, or an allied pilot combines fire with this character....), but it would feel more consistent with the game rules.


With that My Vote is for Pegolego This week

And my vote was cast to BFMV's superb custom. Great entries this week everybody! And sorry if I'm late to vote

Thank you Lord Ball! Yeah, after looking before typing my votes, I'd already decided that I would remove Loner after the voting for the contest was finished (to be fair), because I realized I overlooked some of the more circumstantial ones. I totaled a potential 25 with Boba with no allies within 6 against unique jedi after an allied unique was defeated with SotJ active. 25 without support (Ce's, ally Synergy etc.) is a bit insane (though these days, some others come pretty close lol). But I figured while without loner, it was still possible to get 21 with all those conditions filled, Loner was the easiest condition, and I don't want it to only be too low without Boba for her cost, so do you think removing just Loner is enough?

Thanks again!

Ok, what I said about your custom was (a pretty close off of memory wording (love the new name BTW):

I like this custom a lot. I'm not sure about Han in Mandos though, lol *EDIT* I know you've removed that now, but technically the contest isn't over*. Two different faction hunter's is interesting, and I think it works pretty well here. I like Mind Wipe, though I don't like that it is Range 6. Sure, it's only a 25 percent thing -rerolls, but I still think range 2-3 would work better for this ability, both for balance and for realism. That said, however, she is overcost, plain and simple. No defense to speak of, with LOW HP for 45.

Ok guy's this is my first CCC so im not that good on voting others work just yet so forgive me.

AndyHatton's Jaina Solo Fel, Jedi Master, 8:
Liked this Jaina especially the name.

Same as i said about Gungan's

SignerJ's Jaina Solo, Jedi Assassin, 9
I agree with CHS i dont think assassin fits her jedi way but all in all i like the flavor.

CorranHornsux123's Jaina Solo, Galatic Hero 9

Pegolego's, Jedi Avenger: 9
I loved SOTJ and IJH (: (sorry i forgot yours)

a great pilot Jaina very nice

saber1's Jaina Solo, Avatar of Yun-Harla, 10:
Great Jaina probably one of my favorites ive seen 10

Deathwielded's Sticks (Rouge Eleven) 10:
Again another great pilot Jaina

Hmmmmm my vote goes to Saber 1 this week.

Gladly! I gave yours my vote, as it was my favorite in the contest.
3 vong only abilities fits the character part you were representing (maybe 3 1 faction abilities are a bit much, but then, maybe not ). The only thing I may change (besides the cost, which I'll get to in a moment) is LSD to LSDeflect. With parry already, I don't know if you need LSDefense. Triple (pair with Luke, GH for GMA!), Unleash the Force... Just a nasty character, with some pretty good defense though. I think she may be a bit undercost though (you'll hear that from me a lot lol), with the potential she has from some NR allies, the damage output, and decent defense. Not by much though. I gave a 10 for the characters abilities and representation, 9 for costing and balance.

Loved the piece!

thanks c:

You know that being completely honest is not always a good idea in social situations, right? There have been plenty of customs that I thought were garbage, but I don't say that. If your girlfriend gains a few pounds, you don't say "Honey, you look really fat."





I agree. Which makes me wonder why you voted for yourself.



That dosen't explain why you would do this. Seriously, I don't know anyone who would think it was a good idea to say "Nah, guys, I definitely like mine the best. I mean, yours were okay, but mine was better." Just basic social skills, really.

I hear/read wisdom in this. The points have been made on both sides. Perhaps its time to get back to customizing.
