I'll be nice today ;) The correct CE that is on the card is:
"Droids are subject to this effect: Once per round, after initiative is determined, one non-Unique Droid follower within line of sight may move up to 2 squares then make 1 immediate attack. This does not count as an activation."

Very much like. Also good when used in conjunction with a piece with alot of extra attacks. Set up the b3, destroyer Droid Series 2, any huge, and maybe even an octuptarra... Nah that last ones a little too crazy. Finally combine with sideous for some almost greater mobile attack, albeit expensive.
How does tactician relate to reserves though? With wat Tambor TUF do you now need a 1, 6, 11, 16? A couple things: The CE recipient is granted one immediate attack, not a turn. An extra damage bonus would only apply to the initial attack, and not a twin off that attack. Tactician adds +4 to your roll except on a roll of 1. So a roll of 1 still counts as 1 and will trigger San Hill or Nute Gunray's reserves. For Wat TUF you would need a 6, 11 or 16, and a natural 5 would become a 9, so it actually takes away one possible reserves number in his case.  The free movement should provide some nice benefits at times.  OH. I always though that the Tactician +4 determined effects for initiative only, but did not affect things for reserves? As that effect says on a natural roll of () whether that be 5/10/15/20 or 11 or whatever, so bounes to initative roll did not apply as that is not the "natural roll" for reserves I guess we have been playing this wrong. Hmm, I'm on a roll of getting things wrong, so you might not want to take my word on that one. The wording of Reserves is "if you roll exactly" [x]... as opposed to "natural" Tactician says add [x] to your roll, which changes your roll. Time to go dig through rules threads...

So, for Tactician, if you roll an 11 (or 1, or 20, or any other myriad of reserves) triggering Reserves, it has to be a natural 11 and not augmented by the Tactician bonus, correct? correct. Incorrect. Reserves looks for the final result. So with Tactician +4, you would need to roll a 7 for init to trigger Fringe Reserves.
From the rules insert:
Tactician +[#]: Add +[#] to the initiative roll except on a roll of 1. Abilities based on a particular roll (such as Reserves) and ties are resolved based on the modified number. If a tie requires rerolling initiative, this ability cannot be used again on the reroll.

LOL, well we have been playing this wrong. I guess if you have both Tactician +4 and Tactician +8 only the higher Tactician +8 apples?
Thanks for digging that out.

If you have Cunning +10 and Cunning +20, do you only get Cunning +20 or do you get Cunning +30? You get Cunning +20 because of stacking rules. Same thing applies to Tactician.

Isn't really a problem. The odds of a Voxyn and Master Thon (heck, even a normal Boma) being used in the same squad are all but zero, and people have been keeping their Ugnaughts sorted from their opponent's Ugnaughts for years. A Voxyn verses Master Thon wouldn't be at all different.

Were the stats spoiled somewhere?
If not, all I have to say is that I'm happy to see Master Kavar and curious about the Wook's faction/affinity.

So the Wookiee has a chance of damaging himself every time he attacks?

Awesome - I was thinking in the shower this morning that Old Republic could use a commander similar to Grand Master Yoda or GOWK to boost up stuff like Jedi Battlemasters. Looks awesome. Same with the Wookiee Jedi - I love things that have Twin Attack or Lightsaber Assault so that they can run in and smash things with General Skywalker

Your welcome. Well not sure what to make of these two. The Wookie seems to have a very low defense (14) well seems low for a 35 point jedi to me. Still nice that he has Affinity for BOTH OR and NR. Damaging himself with splash? Why? A wookie sure can buy that a Jedi Wookie makes less sense. If he gets Lightsaber Sweep on 3 enemies he is doing a possible 60 damage to himself? Why are we going to use this character? Cleave, nice to have but another possable 20 Damage to him self if he gets to use it. Kavar only doing a poss 40 damage for 65 points? not sure he is worth that. Having said that though, that is at first glance as I have not play tested either of these two. Sever force? well not sure I like this, mainly because its an ability the OR already has and because very few ever use it. Still we never know whats further down the road for OR, if they ever get swap it might well be worth having. Also I do like Jedi Mind Trick 3, though at 3 Force points seems a little costly compared to Sith Sorcery.As I have said have not play tested him but I have to compare him to the new Mace, same cost, mace is 10 time better and mace is on one of the stronger factions. Anyway thanks Weeks for the post EDIT. post one updated with these two.

I agree with dreadtech, both in thanking Weeks for posting and in his general thoughts.
Master Kavar has a nice array of tricks, but at first blush, he seems a bit underwhelming for the cost. We don't know what the rest of R&R holds, but he currently stands as the most expensive Old Republic piece (and, I think, the only one in the 50+ price range). In some ways, he seems to combine the best of GOWK and GMLS, but he's a costly package. (Personally, I would rather have seen his tricks spread across 2 pieces costing about half as much, but, hey, it's still cool to get him).
The Wookiee Jedi is an interesting build. I'm happy to see that my guesses about affinity and faction were correct, and am surprised to see one of the Dark Times damage boosters on a non-Unique. Cool idea. I second the notion that Splash is a bit of an odd choice. If it was conditional and went into effect at the same time as Savage, it would make more sense to me, but I suppose it's there as something of a balancing factor. This guy (currently one of only three non-Unique Force-users in the 30+ range, and the only non-Fringe piece) can dish out a lot of damage if used properly, so there have to be some limits. I like that he feels very different from every other Force piece (as befitting a Wookiee Jedi).
