I'm not sure I understand; Every turn an adjacent can get these upgrades? Isn't that a little much for Overload?

I mean I don't really see anything in mangos that screams too powerful.. tarpals gives it to the whole squad... If you find something that looks too good please let me know

You can only upgrade one a turn, so if you give someone cloak hate they have to wait to get overload

Yeah, I've never heard of a mango having any sort of replaces-attacks ability worth abusing. Starfruit, on the other hand, would make this absolutely broken.

In all seriousness, though, you could give the entire Mando faction Overload with a 2-point commander and it'd be fine. They're mostly Satchel Charge or Thorium Charge - Thorium could be good, but not good enough to use a 14-point piece to upgrade a 6-point piece, I think. They have a few Grenades and Flamethrower pieces, but Mando pieces tend to rely on attacks and have those extra weapons just for fun, so they're too expensive to abuse. (and nice piece, by the way!)

Interesting idea Jen'ari, I'm more concerned about the low cost reinforcements character being able to negate an enemy stealth team's entire squad. I think handing out Accurate Shot would be a lot more fitting, balanced and appropriate for cost

.... sort of like giving everybody It's A Trap. Yeah, Mando's don't have much in the way of Missiles, Mines or Grenades so I guess that's relatively harmless, but I agree with GG about the anti stealth & kill the Cloak bit....

Reinforcements is a good point. What if we did"allies within 6 squares with nonmelee attacks that deal 20 damage who do not move on their turn gain accurate shot? Or something like that? Or should it be the resolve turn to one character variant?

The 20 base damage gets them away from being used with scouts.

I like that a lot, actually. It's like there's one guy with a rangefinder calling out enemy movements.

Why not give him Low Caste so he can't be brought in Via reinforcements?

ignore that comment, I see you've already worked around the ability

Simple and nice. It helps mandos a lot. Good job!

ok this is the new look. I think it is actually more powerful this way as an ability but it does not help the "power Mando" pieces already in play (Kelborn, Vindicated, Jango, Scouts) so that is a plus. It gives Boba Fett, MC overload for missiles, but has the same type effect with the accurate. Also it does not really help Shae Vizla much either. It does help the Elite Supercommando that has Sniper and Assassin and twin

It might help Fenn Shysa and the protectors as well.

Wow, I knew I hadn't commented on everyone's pieces yet. A lot of discussion happened. Very simple, and self-limited. Nice piece!

"Voting booth doubts"... glossed over 'generic' allies during development. Upgraded Sights (including Fringe) affects into 3 pages of characters in a Bloo search. You almost certainly intended Mandos, and comments indicate everyone else thought that as well, and I missed it before voting had already started. If you want to make that case with the CCC group before voting ends, I would concur, as a participant/commentator. I'm not QC for CCC... too many moving targets stuffed into a single week. lol. But this a pretty cool piece if limited to Mandos.

Oh crap you are exactly right. It should be for mandalorian allies. #designerintent haha.

Sorry I missed that. I should know better from years of v-set QC... "allies" is a GIANT red flag! :)
