Love Teebo. Really works well with the established ewok foundation that Golden One has set. Want to try running him with Han Solo, Rebel Hero. The Ewok Scouts who have cunning will be much easier to grant advantageous attack now, giving extra damage. Also works great with Ewok Chieftain, who was really hard to set up without access to mice/booming.

Thanks for taking care of we few ewok fans!

29/45

Clawdite Infiltrator - RM: Neimoidian Warrior (CW29)
Fringe
cost 18

HP 50
Def 16
Atk +7
Dam 20

Special Abilities
Agile [This character can move 2 extra squares at the end of its turn]

Death Strike [+10 Damage against an enemy that is adjacent to an ally]

Shapeshifter [If this character does not have line of sight to an enemy at the end of its turn, it can't be targeted by nonadjacent enemies until the start of its next turn]


The few Clawdites who left their home world most often took advantage of their natural abilities to join militaristic professions, such as spying, assassination, and bounty hunting.

Shapeshifter is so cool.

I don't know how much play it'll see at 18 points, but it's certainly an option as a gambit piece and a swap piece.

Dessel's CE says, "Gloom Walkers gain..." That means characters whose name contains Gloom Walker.


Hmmm... it doesn't say allied Gloom Walkers. I wonder if that is what it says on the card. If that is what the card says (and it hasn't received an errata), that would be a strange bonus if you just happen to run into an opposing Dessel and get to benefit from his CE with one of your Gloom Walkers.


I feel like this was addressed recently (or at least mentioned) I can't remember what was said though I'll have to see if I can find what I'm thinking about.
Are you guys joking?Confused There are a lot of similar CE's and SA's. I remember, a long time ago, somebody saying "Hand of the Emperor" allowed them to use the opposing players Palpatine's Force Points. They were corrected, in that only if he was on your squad, could you spend those FP's.

Hand of the Emperor's glossary entry states that it must be a person in the squad. That may have been updated after the fact, though.


Usually, CEs reference "ally" or "follower" (where follower means it must be in your squad). Very few abilities reference a whole class of characters without those qualifiers. For CEs I think these are the only 3:

Star Destroyer Officer
Aric Jorgan
Dessel

Hmmm....was thinking of "followers".
But still, I think I'd slap someone who wanted to use my Dessel for their Gloom Walkers.(and I'd expect the slap if it were reversed)

Add the Snowtrooper Officer also: "Imperial commanders gain Pathfinder."

I don't remember any discussion about these things. My guess is there is an errata or it's just ruled to only be allies.

I would think commanders implies it had to be in your squad because I know follower does.

"Follower" (after checking the glossaryBlushing ) says "in your squad" . "Commander" doesn't.

The safest interpretation to follow is that commander effects don't affect enemy characters unless they specifically say so.

That said, for clarity's sake they should always state 'allies', 'in your squad" or some such wording construct, since CEs don't have glossary definitions.

Slightly off topic but will the BHC cards from last Gencon be printed in this set (Old Ben and Vader?)

1/7

Supreme Chancellor Valorum - RM: Imperial Dignitary (IE14)
Republic
Cost: 30

HP: 40
Def: 16
Att: 0
Dam: 0

Special Abilities
Unique [Counts as Finis Valorum]

Diplomat [If an attacker has line of sight to any enemies without Diplomat, this character is not a legal target and does not count as the nearest enemy, even if adjacent]

Negotiation [Replaces attacks: Choose 1 enemy and 1 unactivated follower who costs at least 10 more than that enemy and has a Damage value greater than 0. Both chosen characters gain Speed 2 until the end of the round.]

Vote of No Confidence [Each time an ally is defeated, this character must attempt a save of 6. On a failure, he loses Negotiation]

Commander Effect
During setup, choose 2 Republic allies with a Force rating who cost less than 50. For the rest of the skirmish, the chosen allies gain Aggressive Negotiations [This character is considered to have Diplomat until it makes an attack or is targeted by an enemy character. Characters with Ambush, Backlash, or It's a Trap! can ignore this ability for the purpose of attacking this character.].

Yeah, we didn't want you to be able to use some sit-in-the-back commander to take advantage of Negotiation.
