Well was reading the Rodian Traders Card, & Wanted To Know If I Could Do This.
Seeing as his Medical Supplies & Munitions Supplies are Special Abilities & not Commander Effects. I was wondering if i would be able to give either one or both of them to a Mouse Droid. The Heal 10 & Grenades 10?
& also to double check another thing, both of his SA are unlimited correct? Like i mean i can keep giving different allies Heal 10 & Grenades 10, Meaning there isnt a limit on how many times i can give out those SA's with 1 rodian trader?
Thanx in advance to whoever answers.

1. Yes, the Mouse Droid is a fine target for the Trader's Supplies abilities.
2. Yes, you can use them pretty much every turn if you want.

Thanx Sithborg, yea i kinda figured that but obviously had to double check & who better to ask then you, thanx buddy..
Thats a cool little gimmick to do this way you now have more uses for a mouse droid instead of just sitting there looking cute, now you can heal or grenade figures haha. Thanx again

Though note that a Bacta Tank given heal would not benefit from it's own Augment Healing.

So giving it out to all these things im guessing Sidholo can get Them as well?
I mean i think its a decent little piece, its not much heal or grenades but still gets your mice doing more for only 3 pts..

Well, technically it isn't "only three points" Perc, because you do spend 10 points on the cost of the Trader itself and the trader is pretty worthless other than as a door opener, Ugnaught killer, or activation. There are cheaper ways to get Grenades 10 or Heal 10 into a squad. You are really paying for an option, not the best cost for either ability.

I mean thats true, you have a really good pt, but i mean what if you have a squad with a bunch of mouse droids in it, then for 10pts throwing a rodian trader in there just so the mouse droids are healing & throwin grenades, it makes them better instead of just sitting near figures to grant CE's, this way you can follow figures & still be able to do something with a 3 pt figure. I mean yea you can have better figures in to heal & grenade, but i mean your gonna spend the 10pts elsewhere anyways to get in something else that heals or throws grenades. This way you can have every figure on your squad throwing grenades or healing & mouse droids are mainly used in every squad other than Rep & Imps so i can see myself using a rodian trader in a squad to make the mouse droids heal.

It depends completely upon how much you use it, yes. My personal experience is that players end up using it way less than they think they do. There are definitely ways to make it work.

Don't forget how many rounds it'll take to give say 3 Mouse Droids Grenades or Heal... how many rounds? 3!
That's 3 rounds that your Mouse Droids could be more useful as cover or extended CE and whatnot.
I used a Rodian Trader to give Republic Commando - Sev Grenades 10... Had the Republic Commando Training Sergeant in there to increase the Grenade amount to 30, and Tarpals so he could do Grenades 30 twice per turn if I wanted. I found that to be more useful than giving Grenades to the Mouse Droid I was using.
Not to say Mouse Droids with Grenades aren't fun :)

The problem I see if you wanna use that strategy is time... You can only give it out once a round.

Me personally, my style of play would make it to where within 2 rounds im granting 2 mouse droids heal 10 with 1 trader, thats how i play so it fits perfect into my style. I mean its a cheap gimmick to hook 3 pt mouse droids up which im gonna use it. Obviously theres better ways to have heal & grenades but i use squads with tons of mouse droids to where it will be nice to have them healing. That 10 heal can be the difference maker in a game that comes down to the wire. Again for me & my style of play which is successful for me. Also, i like that trick giving the Sev's grenades 10 then boost it up to grenades 30 with RCTS, then use tarpals to throw double grenades 30. Really good idea..

Lol, no no my question was can the Rodian Trader grant his supply abilities to Sidholo?
