Special Abilities

  • Unique. Melee Attack; Twin Attack
  • Charismatic Recruiter (Each non-Unique enemy activated by this character instead joins your squad until the end of the next round)

  • Independent Outfit (Also counts as a Fringe character for the purpose of commander effects)
  • Ruthless (Critical hits from this character cannot be prevented or redirected)
  • Sonic Stunner (Replaces attacks: range 6; living target and each living character adjacent to that target are considered activated this round; save 11 negates. Huge and larger characters ignore this special ability.)

Notes: I made this custom as an escalation of the WotC version. Her base stats increased as a result. Carried over are Melee, Twin, HotE, & TKS. To represent her penchant for recruiting her own minions, I crafted Charismatic Recruiter to pair with Sonic Stunner. The latter represents her ability to use sound as a weapon. IE and her CE further her rebellious ways and allow for use with the new Talon Karrde.

Crowd Fighting, Deadly & Ruthless make her a more dangerous melee combatant. For pricing, I used Carnor Jax as a template. I hesitated adding so many special abilities but they all seem to fit the character and give her some great play options. Coupled with Palps and Tarkin she can gain Extra Attack and use her Force powers repeatedly. Run her with Talon for +4/+10. Feedback is much appreciated.

A semi-major design change I'm pondering is dropping Ruthless and Deadly Attack in favor of Stable Platform. This would allow her to attack and recruit with Sonic Stunner in the same turn. Thoughts?

Nod to CerousMutor. I borrowed his Recovery 30. Why isn't this Force power on an official piece yet?

Only things I see here that I don't necessarily care for is Charismatic Recruiter, Considering that sonic stunner is the only activating ability I would prefer it be dropped in favor of an ability more like Turn to the Dark Side. Something like: Replaces attacks: range 6; Target Character is activated, save 16. The target can choose to reduce the save to a save of 11; if the reduced save fails, the target remains unactivated and joins this character's squad until the end of the (next?) round.)

@Lord_Ball: That's an interesting idea. My process began with Sonic Stunner. After adding it, I considered adding a mechanism to recruit enemies and CR seemed like the cleanest way to go. My understanding is you think it should all be wrapped up in one ability? The route I've chosen allows for activating anyone who fails save, but non-Uniques who fail save are recruited. This dual purpose allows for different strategies depending on play style and opposing squad. I'm not sure this flexibility can easily be consolidated.

Yeah, I wasn't really focusing on the non-unique part. Mostly just looking to streamline the abilities and hopefully retain balance in the process.

Dropped Crowd Fighting and upped Atk from 10 to 13. Upped Force points to 3.

I like the Charismatic Recruiter and Sonic Stunner combo. (maybe I will actually use SS!) I not sure about the CE. Independent Outfit I guess so you can bring in some Imp allies into a Fringe Talon squad? Seems risky since she will need to be careful to keep them in her CE bubble. (other wise you will lose out on several of Talons good effects)

Thanks, Deathwielded. Her CE does have risk, depending on how its used, but good things are often worth the risk. Also, it gives you a way to recruit w/o losing Talon's CE. In a way, she is a strong activation control piece when she recruits a few enemies.

Dropped HotE as this version is while she was actively working against Palps. She is still working within the Empire but for her own ends. For the sake of survivability, Stealth was added. This has the additional benefit of opening up fun interactions with Black Sun commander effects. I've also dropped her cost to 35.
