Question 1: If an ally has Damage Reduction 10 and Palps is hit for 20 damage and the absolutely devoted ally with the DR takes the damage do they take 20 or 10?
Question 2: Can you absolute devotion the damage caused by unstable clone?
Question: #1 can this character use force to reroll defender?
Question #2 can I have more than 1 of these in my squad? I don't see unique but want to make sure.
the brackets in palpatine's CE are implied in all other CEs that allow characters to spend your force points. think of it as a clarification of an invisible rule. it has to explicitly state that you can use them on the same turn and combine them if the designers want you to be able to.
^ Correct, but it’s usually explicitly stated so. See any Palpatine that has a similar CE. With this guy it doesn’t say so. But I can’t remember for the life of me if that’s intentional (as in you can), or if by DOTF it was just assumed everyone knew you can’t do that with these type of commander effects.
Oh yeah, I can see that gandalf. Give everyone GMA and deflect and then free Block/Deflect. Regardless you've got to keep his CE. I love the CE, it's like that Jedi Exile from a few sets back and I've had a lot of fun with that piece.
Pirate Code is two parts- a) subject to Pirate CEs (with the implication- even though a Droid) and b) not subject to non-Pirate CEs. if it was just the latter then each CE would still need to specify "Droids are subject". yes, damage from Loyal to the Crew ignores Advanced Diffusion Armor. and yes, you can give him Draw Fire with Droid Mark.
The wording on pirate code seems unusual. Was there a design reason not to state "This character is only subject to commander effects from Pirate commanders"?
Something I really appreciate about this Dooku is that he doesn't have a commander effect. That means he can be in a squad with Qui-Gon Follower of the Living Force. I really like that a lot. Thank you designers, that's a nice touch :)
I think the designers were thinking go Luke GH, take Disciplined Leader (and keep both CEs). Not sure if it's worth 20 points to add the CE and 1 ability to Luke NRH.
very cool. its funny going from the new chewbacca from this same set to this guy. not too powerful, but it's difficult to price his separatist affiliation (+10 and twin sounds pretty cool)
im in love. any piece with parry is a immediate 10 from me, but this guy is crazy, especially with his HoE affiliation. i see it being an auto include in all HoE rebel squads from now on.

is there more than one clone in this piece because why is it clones not clone

Can you use gargoyle form and then use s force to move 2 more squares? Gargoyle 8 squares?
8/16/2025 12:20:37 AM
1: Yes. 2: No (last line of the Force Nexus ability).

yay that is exactly what i needed for this card to be good. will be playing this piece much more often!
8/15/2025 4:28:18 PM
Seems like his shtick is his Ghost Crew tag. I do like the old one better, especially with but not limited to using Aurra with him.
8/15/2025 3:34:34 AM
fixed the hitpoints after Jason pointed out it was 10 short of the card

8/12/2025 8:28:12 PM
correct me if im wrong but i don't think you can combine other characters' force points with your own
8/12/2025 5:47:56 PM
If a character has 1 force point and wants to use it and 1 force point from this character to use a force power that costs 2 can that happen?
8/11/2025 12:32:22 AM
And you can do it twice.
8/10/2025 3:56:38 PM
Yep. Juyo will trigger on a nat 20, and use the force treats your roll as a nat 20
8/10/2025 1:00:43 AM
The damage from using the FP "Use the Force", would score 50pts damage, thanks to Juyo Style?
8/9/2025 2:57:30 AM
Key words are "for the rest of the skirmish". Revan gives QS "for the rest of the skirmish" and T'LJG doesn't have the magick words.
8/8/2025 3:02:01 PM
You still need to follow squad building rules.
8/8/2025 3:01:37 PM
Yes it can be Disrupted or Distracted or ABMed

Does the Luke you replace him with have to be New Republic or can I choose a Rebel Luke?
8/8/2025 2:33:56 PM
Oh yeah, I can see that gandalf. Give everyone GMA and deflect and then free Block/Deflect. Regardless you've got to keep his CE. I love the CE, it's like that Jedi Exile from a few sets back and I've had a lot of fun with that piece.
8/8/2025 2:26:07 PM
Can this CE be suppressed? Or is it like Revan's that cannot be suppressed for giving allies something?
8/7/2025 4:05:16 PM
Oooh, clever. Thanks Gandalf! And solid design. This guy's a tank

8/7/2025 12:44:25 AM
I want to know if you can give him Draw Fire with Wat Tambor etc... that would definitely use Diffusion Armor probably.
8/7/2025 12:16:04 AM
Also, does Loyalty to the Crew prevent the use of Advanced Diffusion Armor?

Interesting, wonder if he works in OR, where Close-Quarters Fighting is potentially useful.

Why Disciplined Leader over OF or Juyo? (oh wait, can't take Force abilities :P, ah well)
8/4/2025 9:46:22 PM
ohh that makes sense
8/4/2025 8:30:33 PM

8/4/2025 3:31:48 PM
Hmmm I guess the move here is to flip him into Luke Skywalker, New Republic Hero and take Juyo, Duelist or Disciplined Leader and also get the CE?

thanks team, I rely on you faithful commenters to spot the mistakes. I also haven't seen TCW so suggestions for flavour text are welcome
8/4/2025 2:53:35 AM
it's past tense because it only checks it once (before the first activation) and after that point it doesn't matter if the condition is no longer met.
8/4/2025 1:03:53 AM
He has a CE. Needs update
8/4/2025 1:00:46 AM
what does it mean by 'contained' (on allegiance) like as in why the past tense?
8/4/2025 12:52:53 AM
why has he got willing to serve? he's not a commander
8/4/2025 12:39:03 AM
She fits much better into Pirate builds specifically since her Extra stacks with the Double she gets, and she doesn't have Twin to lose.
8/3/2025 11:54:52 PM
i was about to say the same thing. i wish they just went all out and upped the cost.
8/3/2025 11:40:23 PM
very potent for 29 points, but i can still see scenarios where you'd take aurra sing, assassin over her though (which is good). 9/10

yes.
8/3/2025 10:13:28 PM
Really? Did we really need GMA for all the Rebels?
8/3/2025 11:49:35 AM
I think the original Hondo is still much better. Not so 'legendary' after all!
