all the vision stuff is making me think of Naruto. Byakugan!

WP: "Djas Puhr was a Sakiyan bounty hunter, who had excellent infrared and peripheral vision, as well as a highly developed sense of smell and hearing. He was a tracker for Sebulba and an assassin in a slave network employed by Jabba Desilijic Tiure" So there may be some tie-ins to be explored, I saved an SA, could just be Hutt Cartel, could be something that helps allied BHs, or nothing. Not seeing where a CE would make sense on this guy.

@jen'ari, LOL! I still haven't watched much of anything past Naruto defeating Pain (which was pretty cool).

After the pain battle it is not as good. Introduced a ton of characters and the power level jumps are massive. The akatsuki battles were amazing. After that it tried too hard imo

Once per phase with APV seems like it could be a lot of extra movement maybe limit it to a once or twice per round?

... I think you win the award for most obscure word in SWM vocabulary. Acuity?? Haven't seen/heard That word in awhile .... :)

@LB, fair point. APV changed to twice per round. Idea was that his sensory skills would help to him to stay hidden, sort of (find cover etc). As to Acuity, went with something new over Enhanced Infrared Vision as I didn't see why his skill would apply to the whole squad, so its better, but only works for him.

Criticisms on both new abilities. "Twice per round" sounds like too much tracking. And I don't want to count 12 squares. I see from comments it used to be "once per phase". That's easier to track but too much movement. Once per round and 6 squares would make tracking a bit easier.

6 squares, as in the movement?, or do you mean the other ability?

6 squares movement. Instead of 3 squares at a time. I'm not a fan of tracking in general, but counting to 1 sounds better than counting to 2. :)

Simplified APV to once per round/6 squares, and IVA to LOS.

Pretty solid shooter, I think the only thing I would consider is swapping twin for double or bumping the cost to even 40, I think this guy outclasses all but a handful of other shooters at his cost. Somewhat mitigated by minimal defensive abilities but a very potent platform to add Talon, Thrawn, Extra Attack, or other abilities on.

This is a very interesting character... I'm trying to decide if he is competitive or not. I like the movement and the infared targeting idea.his low defense for being 35 scares me tho :(

He is a great range piece! I like it a lot but I'd change Twin for Double or raise it's poits up to 40-42.

Yeah, I may switch to Double and tweak cost etc a bit. Hmm, I also still have an SA to spare, haha!

Updated, Double instead of Twin. Quick Reflexes sort of fits species traits, and could help him use his movement trick if he gets based. Not sure what cost is appropriate after these changes. I was thinking 39ish... thoughts on that?

I had actually made a Puhr about a 4-6 weeks ago on my own thread. Interesting comparison so I won't say anything other than we both took different approaches with his enhanced senses ..... hard to say what to charge for the custom abilities ... I'd say you're somewhere around 34-35 myself.
