Special Abilities

  • Droid (Immune to critical hits; not subject to commander effects)
  • Flight (Ignores difficult terrain, enemy characters, low objects, and pits when moving)
  • Programmed to Obey (This Droid character is subject to allies' commander effects.)
  • Sensors (This character and allies can ignore cover when targeting enemies within 6 squares of this character)
  • Surveillance Droid (At the end of its turn, if this character has line of sight to an enemy who counts as C-3PO or R2-D2, non-Unique Imperial trooper allies may immediately move 2 squares towards that enemy)

Hundreds of Mark IV droids were deployed to scout the planet of Tatooine, where they searched the crowded streets of Mos Eisley in cooperation with sandtroopers searching for C-3PO and R2-D2.

Atk/Dmg are dashes. It can't attack at all or combine fire. With PtO, they can get defense boosts, be swapped, and other random things, but it's a very short list of CEs. If PtO were to get ported to a combat droid, pray... I may need to restrict if further. :/ Surveillance Droid is intended to always reference specific characters (will write glossary when I get a chance). Cost? Looks amazing, still not better than Doombot, but still a WIP, so...

If you set Attack and Damage to blank they'll show up as dashes. Were these droids exclusive to Sandtroopers? You could probably just have it as "Imperial troopers". Definitely makes for a decent reserves/reinforcements (If Imps ever get any) choice.

Wow!!! It's so simple but it must be a great pain in the @ss to go up against!!! Great work man!

Updated SD to work with any n/u Imp troopers. Added flavor text for the Tatooine angle.

Interesting piece here and thematic enough. I wonder what sort of CEs you want to give this guy for programmed to obey?

Swap! haha. There is very little else they can use. Generic defense boosts... It's rather harmless flavor. "Although equipped with basic personality programming and self-preservation instincts, Mark IV droids were compelled to obey orders given to them, leading cautious commanders to scout dangerous terrain ahead with the essentially expendable droids."

Surveillance Droid seems nice. Why Unique? I don't remember it being a "custom" droid and Wook talks about them in the plural. Cost may be closer to 16-18. He's an 8 with just the 20/16, Droid & Flight.

Thanks, Surf! I had started him as a particular 'nicknamed' unit, then changed stuff around and forgot to take Unique off. Totally overlooked that! I was intending for Surv-Droid to be reusable (ie not just 3-PO/R2, or who is looking for it/them) but need to put some more thought into that. Open to suggestions there. I'll up the cost after that is sorted.

Lol, this is a cool character with a neat flavor. I really like this.

14points gives Sensors to Paratus mirror droid squads, though that's okay because they cannot benefit from surveillance droid, if there were a way to copy-n-paste that "Programmed to Obey" throughout a squad, and Paratus Squads got their mitts on that... oh lordy would that be bad.

@koba, that's an interesting wrinkle I hdan't considered. I intend for surveillance droid to be reusable but haven't worked out the specific glossary definition restrictions yet, so thanks for the comment!

As to PtO, it is what it is for this CCC as voting has commenced. I noted (in general terms) that concern in my first post, but didn't get around to fixing it. Oh well. :/
