Just a random reminder... this subset was designed to be a balanced introductory game. Three activations per squad, 115 points. Players see most of the mechanisms in the game. CE, Force Points, Double, Twin, damage prevention, etc.
sadly no, all it means is that doors she is adjacent to cannot be overrided closed, and doors checks always happen at the end of a character’s turn, so she can’t just run through doors
How does Door Hack work? Can she run up to a door and it immediately opens because it cannot be closed when adjacent, so she can just run through? Is the effect permanent so all the doors she walks through effectively have smoking holes in them?
Man, looking over this Maul again, he is stupid good. Presumed Dead into a movement break and gaining Cloaked? Whew, 58 points gives you plenty of room to squad build. Seems like I can get a fun Melee C.I.S. squad going here.
Why doesn't the new Juno do anything for him? At least one of the abilities should have been "counts as" rather than "name contains" so we can play this guy.
Hmm. Put seven Witches and 18pts of door control into a squad and watch the carnage as the opposition kill themselves? Just pray you're not facing Droids.
Pretty sure Connor is talking about an opponent's character with Ysalamiri (since it affects both sides just the same). In current Vset rules Ysalamiri no longer gives Force Immunity to characters within 6 squares, but yes, if he is within 6 of Ysalamiri he cannot be affected by Force powers, and spending a Force point to defeat him counts as a Force power.
If this spirit is within the ysalamiri bubble, does he get force immunity also? If so, does that mean he cant be defeated by enemies spending FPs on him?
first one to say wow. such high attack and cunning on a 7pt piece? better than tulak hord for it's price!! (edit: i just saw 20hp!! why is the rating so low? way ahead of it's time might break the meta though. errata to 10hp?)
Haha it's ok Harry. I'm here 15 years after this game went out of print still wondering how WotC managed to make 4 Mace Windus and never once put any kind of shooter defense onto even one of them. Mathematically it should've happened by accident!
I'm not sure what I was thinking math-wise when I made that comment 9 years ago. I think I was saying 3 different WOTC Windu pieces including Master Windu. I'm not sure how I got to 30 HP though. "How do 40 damage per blaster barrage reduce 150 hp to 30 hp?" I have no idea, good question. What was I talking about LOL
What’s even worse is it’s the same awful commander effect from her clone strike version. They just added the triple damage part, but did not rectify the fact that it doesn’t effect droids.
I definitely think this Vader takes Luke JM. If Luke starts the fight he gets one hit, if Vader starts he gets 4. Luke’s triple is an advantage but Vader can overwhelming force and rage for as much damage as Luke.

I'm surprised we haven't made more characters with supplies abilities. We could really use one with munitions in the imperial faction.
5/27/2025 5:09:19 AM
Pair this guy with a few Clone Troopers, Republic Commando Training Sergeant, and Captain Tarpals to create an army of grenades 30 twice per turn for everyone
5/26/2025 10:04:22 PM
uhh is there a spelling error? "Imperial Knight allies gain Dark Armor 2." is fine but "Imperials Knight followers gain Ambush."?? ImperialS??

3 point ewok gets that crown
5/15/2025 8:53:20 AM
there are no best pieces in rebel storm, strong contender for least worst though
5/15/2025 4:41:07 AM
true qui-gon FOTLF is great, haven't seem him being used in a while though which is sad :(
5/15/2025 4:24:45 AM
There was a lot of angst at one point about how Qui-Gon's Follower of the Living Force's Serenity was broken.
5/14/2025 9:43:16 PM
*12th :(
5/14/2025 9:17:41 PM
could've had an actually good qui gon piece instead of the 11th maul in a row :(
5/14/2025 7:26:11 PM
I thought he was Sidious' apprentice not Hatred's.
5/13/2025 9:05:51 PM
Feels like him, San Hill Chairman, and either Durge on Speeder or Grievous HoH is a very strong squad base.

4/28/2025 9:12:16 AM
I said at least one of the abilities - would it really break the game to give this guy a fp every time Juno activates?
4/28/2025 8:56:32 AM
i think it’s because the new Juno was made to make the worse wotc Galen better, and this one isn’t really in need of a big buff.

4/20/2025 4:03:55 AM
but who on earth would play *vong* in 2025?? So cringe.
4/20/2025 12:46:43 AM
added Self-Sufficient following 2025 balance committee changes
4/19/2025 9:14:19 AM
or vong
4/19/2025 9:13:59 AM
or melee pieces

There are ways to get both Ysalamiri and Kun into NR, but not in the same squad atm.
4/9/2025 12:04:19 AM
that's why there is no ysalamiri in sith.
4/8/2025 11:37:52 PM
If this spirit is within the ysalamiri bubble, does he get force immunity also? If so, does that mean he cant be defeated by enemies spending FPs on him?
3/27/2025 12:46:07 AM
Ascetic Balances the SSM and you only move 6 or 12. You also only get 1 shot at saves as well. It is truly underestimated how that affects a character
3/27/2025 12:15:30 AM
I feel like there's something to be done with these guys, Booster Terrik, Cham Syndulla, and Orn Free Taa.

it is done
3/26/2025 7:32:02 PM
but they can't attack after moving so basically not
3/26/2025 10:40:26 AM
Mmmm but it is, soooooo R.I.P. bozo I guess!
3/26/2025 5:50:34 AM
Basically she gives rolling cleave?
3/26/2025 5:49:10 AM
Goofy ass character. Diplomat should not be in this game.
3/26/2025 5:46:06 AM
In a swarm game she is just awesome.
3/26/2025 5:38:19 AM
This guy is good with the TBSV
3/26/2025 12:02:19 AM
oh ok thanks for the permission
3/25/2025 10:28:35 PM
you can use your 50 different sockpuppet accounts to bump the rating up a bit if you like
3/25/2025 9:29:26 PM
triple, backlash, and lightsaber defense and only 29 points?? that's not even bad
3/25/2025 9:24:06 PM
why have they got such a bad rating?

i didnt even realise droids weren't affected - L commander effect

3/23/2025 7:32:36 AM
wow none of the wotc mace windus have any use nowadays because of vsets and LotLS mace (obviously this doesnt apply to wotc only squads)
3/23/2025 6:09:21 AM
Use her to bodyguard and boost the repeater trooper
3/23/2025 6:00:59 AM
Arica is amazing but he will catch her before she kills him
3/23/2025 5:46:12 AM
Wild how her shitty CE makes her worse because she can’t get GME from TBSV. So silly.
