Stable Platform is such a cool ability and upon reading it for the first time I felt it just screamed for an appearance on a Fett. I opted for an Unleashed/Battlefronts 2 feel. As such, he operates like Mace Windu LotLS from range but with 1/2 the chance to crit. I believe that this, combined with the save 11 for Missiles 30 should keep him from being over the top.

Ok, let's run through the math. Given the save 11 for missiles is a 50/50 and he has two shots with missiles I'll count that as an average of 30 damage. On his own he can attack twice for 20 each and 30 for the successful missile brings him to 70 damage. Not bad, but considering Cad Bane offers a steady 80 damage at 54 points its not OTT. Now, throw in a crit and things change dramatically. He can do 60 with a crit, twin/flurry adds another 40 with 2 successful missile save bringing the total to 160. On par with Mace.

That being said, Accurate doesn't work with Missiles so targeting with Accurate divides damage among multiple targets as the Missiles must be directed elsewhere. He's a beast to be sure, but the crazy output is dependent on that 10% chance of a crit and 50% chance of missile saves.

Wow, I like how you even used his flavor text to support Stable Platform! He's a mobile missile machine! is he overcosted? I don't think by much I would cost him between 60-66. Very cool character 9/10

My first instinct was to price him in the mid 60s, but with all the whining about Mace LotLS, I figured Id bump him up to be safe. I also considered the vastly larger number of potential interactions he has as a Fringe piece over Mace as a Republic piece. Is the consensus this is a mid 60s piece?

Since he is a shooter version of Mace, why be coy? Repriced at 65.

{Escape Death} might be a bit much. I am pondering going with Avoid Defeat instead, or simply dropping it to make him a bit more fragile. Beskar'gam is an option as well, though he only uses such very late in his life.

Unleashed as a subtitle feels like it should be reserved for Force users so I dropped it for Engine of Destruction as a nod to the one-shot comic "Twin Engines of Destruction". I also cleaned up the format and opted to drop Escape Death. I may add Avoid Defeat back in as it really fits Fett at this stage of life.

You have no idea how much I like this version of Boba Fett. I like the name, stable platform with all of his options is so much fun. I tried to make a version of Boba with Platform, realized it wouldn't be as good as this and decided against it. So So cool.

Wow, that is quite the compliment for which I am quite grateful. Thank you!

New idea! Deadly Attack only gives this piece a 10% chance to crit on any given attack. Would it be too much to give him [Lethal Attack] (Scores a critical hit on an attack roll of natural 18, 19 or 20)? His chance to crit is still less than Mace's for the same cost and has no defensive abilities.

I would say yes, due to him being ranged (a big advantage over mace), and having Stable Platform. He does have Mobile attack for limited defense, but really with what he offers currently I think upping the Flurry trigger range would be over the top.

Cool idea! I personally would swap deadly attack/flurry for advanced missiles20/flamethrower 20/grenades 40 Give some different options for his very well designed platform

@GG: The versatility you describe would be very handy and perhaps more representative of the character, but would greatly change the feel of this piece. This isn't Boba, tactical hunter of sentients in a swiss army suit, this is Boba in a moblie weapons platform on a rampage wreaking havoc on anything nearby. Shoot, missiles, twin, missiles. Hit a crit? Repeat! That's not to say that I don't like your idea. A BF with Missiles, 'nades & Flamer would be great with [Stable Platform], perhaps better with [Overload].

That's fair, your idea also works quite well too. I am just really excited of the possibilities your piece put in my mind with stable platform and a bag of tricks
