This is Palpatine around the time of Episode III. Cunning Attack, Jedi Hunter, Crowd Fighting and Lightsaber Sweep are to represent him fighting the 4 jedi at corusant, and Dark Inspiration is for obvious reasons. FL2 because he had lightning. The CE is to make living separatists a bit better, instead of droids (it grants Extra, but not to droids), and the second part is for the same reasons, though also partly for chemistry with my Darth Maul, Dark Apprentice, and Anakin Skywalker, Fallen Hero.

UPDATE: Changed CE to grant FR1, instead of MotF2. Also lowered Attack a bit, since he has so much on him that boosts attack.

I like it a lot! A very new direction for a custom of Palpy but I think it works really well! My only concern would be that the CE is pretty powerful for 44 points. Otherwise, excellent job!

True. I didn't take the added 'FR1' part of the CE (which I put for chemistry with my Maul/Ani) in the cost I think.

Still seems too strong for cost. Maybe Unique allies? (And drop him down to 46 or so).

Well, I was thinking maybe make it Separatist followers, but then I realized that Sep followers have PLEEEEENTTYY of access to extra attacks (several Grievous give twin/double, genosian overseer, Whorm...), so unique WOULD be a good idea I think. Thanks!

Upped to a 10, nice work with the CE, not to mention everything else!

I was going to replace the 'Gains Extra Attack' part of the CE with 'Double', because even though it is an official ability (I thought; it is in the bloomilk glossary), no character has it, and I thought that was because it was the same as double (or more restricted; if the character doesn't move make an extra attack). But then I realized, that the extra attack STACKS over double attack, and can be better. Also, the Force Renewal part of the CE REALLY helps Sep sith, because I quick counted and only noticed 2 Sep sith with Renewal (4 if you count Epics).

There are at least 3 but that might be it. (Original Darth Sidious CS, Dooku LotDS, and Sidious DLotS)

Yeah, I realized there were 3 later.

Had to change his name completely, as a poor oversight by me failed to realize that this piece, meant to help my Maul, didn't work AT ALL, because his name was Palpatine, and Maul's affinity was for Sidious. Also, could have ended up with Maul in an Imperial squad, and I didn't want that either, so edited Maul's affinity.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?! I just realized that the Bounty Hunter challenge [Darth Sidious, Sith Mastermind] just stole my name! Dang't!

Changed the name, upped attack 1 and replaced Cunning with Deceptive; it helps cover the same thing as cunning, AND his deceptivenessism!

The originality on this guy is a major plus; refreshing and unique take on the character. 9 from me.

I wonder if I gave him Affinity for Anakin Skywalkers, and then made him give them Cyborg... The Separatist synergies.... :D Probably would be broken...
