That's a ton of damage potential for 35 points. He can hit for 50 on the move with Dutch, 80 based. 80 damage output without a save or FP might be cause for concern. Nice flavor, though.

Right now I'm not very happy with this piece, I don't know quite what I want to do. Bravado and Brash Momentum were just both ideas for him, I want to make him good but he kinda gets owned in that fight. He starts off strong and confident and it goes downhill nice and fast riiiight when Vader starts tossing stuff at his head. In that regard I was actually thinking of giving him something like Niman style, where he starts off strong but then there would be a downside once he hits under half HP

Originally he also had a downside that made him base a piece of a higher cost with a force rating called "Lured into a Trap" Again I don't know if it ends up doing quite what I wanted but it would have been a downside in forcing his movement.

Though Niman might not be accurate, your reasoning has great merit. He does fade fast once Vader engages in asymmetrical warfare. I agree, this is a tough piece to make valuable yet accurate. Perhaps change Brash Momentum to "more than half HP remaining"? Or Brash Advance (While this character has more than half his hit points remaining, this character can move and make all its attacks against an adjacent enemy with a higher cost at +4/+10). If you go this route, I would drop Pilot.

Thank you, I like Brash Advance a lot. I think I have a few ideas for edits that I'm going to make and I'd love to know what you think after I make them. Also any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I really am not a fan of that. I might just change it to of Bespin or "Among the Clouds" or "Waving his lightsaber around like a spaz. No I haven't had any formal training, can you tell?" or maybe even "NOOOOOOOOOOOO why'd you slice off my haaaaaand?"

Updated; I almost gave him an ability that made him immune to commander effects to represent his sturboness, but I decided against it, Luke is still bullheaded in Empire but not so much that I quite think it warrants that, however that is why he is self-reliant. He turned his back on Yoda and Obi-Wan the only 2 people who would be able to help him with the Force at this point

Overconfidence is great. Combined with Brash Advance (I suggest fleshing out the wording of BA) it really portrays his quick nosedive in the duel. At 50 HP, he is semi-chumpish, but quite a handful with just 10 less damage. As for a name: Luke Skywalker, Soon to be Lefty.

Thank you, I'll poke at Brash Advance to make sure the wording is right but thank you for the intial phrasing of it! "Luke Skywalker, Don't Worry I'm Ambidexterous."

Overconfidence is needlessly complicated. Make it either +4/+4 or -4/-4 and adjust the base stats accordingly.

I don't know if it is that complicated, +4/+4 is Niman style Mastery, so if I did change it it would be to -4/-4. I wanted to do something a little different. I'd rather keep his base stats a little steady for the few pieces that ignore bonuses to Defense.

Fair enough. I guess it would make a difference in those circumstances.

They'd be rare but it's why I didn't wanna tank his stats a give him Niman, but I could inflate them and give him -4/-4 it would still fit the flavor
