Scum and Villainy

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Renegades, Rogues, Vengeance Scum, Villainy... we should call V-set 5 something positive. How about Lightsabers and Liquorice?

+1


haha

Cross-posted from another thread. Put here to be part of the permanent record. Some suggested signature abilities for main Rebel characters. More than the individual abilities is the suggestion that these abilities be granted to old versions of the character (via an SA) and built-in for a new version. As such, it makes it worthwhile to play a new version of one character with an old version of another character.

Han
I'll Bet You Have: If this character is the first character to activate in a round and does not move this turn, +4 attack +20 damage versus enemies within 6 squares.

Chewie
Fly Casual: If this character has not attacked or damaged an enemy this skirmish, this character gains Cloaked.

Luke
There is Good in You: When this character is targeted, cancel an attack (or special ability that replaces attacks) by an enemy within 6 squares, save 11. The enemy's save is reduced by 1 for each ally that counts as Leia, Han, or Chewbacca.

Leia
Protective Friends: For each ally who counts as Luke, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2, or C-3PO, this character gains +2 Defense.

R2-D2
Extended Sensor: Replaces attacks; select an enemy within line of sight. Allies may target the enemy until the end of the phase.

C-3PO
Cultural Sensitivities: Replaces attacks; touch, target may not attack or damage another character this round, save 11.

Well I guess if I had a choice, this is who i would like to see.

Gimme a fix for my Nightsister addiction.

The cast from Fatal Alliance:

Dao Stryver
Darth Chratis
Eldon Ax
Jet Nebula
Larin Moxla
Shigar Konshi
Ula Vii
Hex Droids

An updated Palpatine Sith Lord - or another Imperial piece with Execute Order 66, please!

According to SHNN today, the more times people mention a piece, the more likely it is to get made sooner rather than later.

I'm such a big fan of this idea that I'll mention it again with some new suggested signature abilities.

New versions of the main rebel characters should come in pairs (e.g. Luke/Leia, Han/Chewie, R2/3PO). The new Luke grants the signature ability to any allied Leia (via SA) and vice versa. At the same time, the new versions have the signature abilities built-in. As such, it makes it worthwhile to play a new version of one character with an old version of another character.

I've suggested some signature abilities, but here are some more. (I like the idea described above more than I'm committed to any specific signature ability.)

Han
You're all Clear, Kid: If this character is not activated and an enemy within line of sight declares an attack against a lower-cost ally, this character may attack the enemy at +4 attack and +10 damage before the enemy's attack is resolved. (This attack does not follow the targeting rules.) This character is considered activated.

Chewie
Let the Wookiee Win: When this character is targeted by an enemy within 4 squares that does not have a lightsaber, cancel the attack or effect and then move the enemy 1 square away from this character; the enemy can avoid this effect with a save of 11. The enemy's save is reduced by 1 for each ally that counts as C-3PO, R2-D2, Leia, Han, or Luke.

Luke
Run, Luke, Run: When this character is targeted by an enemy, move this character up to 4 squares. If this character is no longer a legal target, the attack or effect is canceled; the enemy can avoid this effect with a save of 11. The enemy's save is reduced by 1 for each ally that counts as C-3PO, R2-D2, Leia, Han, or Luke.

Leia
(Force Power)
I Know Where Luke Is: Force 1, usable only on this character's turn: move this character up to 4 squares toward a higher-cost ally with a Force rating.

R2-D2
3,920 to 1: If an ally within 6 squares is about to make an attack roll and this character is not activated, you may count the attack roll as a natural 20. This character and all allies are considered activated.

C-3PO
Hurry, you might catch them!: Replaces attacks; move an enemy within 3 squares of cost 10 or less up to 6 squares away.

A Boss Nass that helps out Gungan Artillerists would be cool. Their damage output is already great with Tarpals, but they're too fragile to be competitive. Apart from the Lancer, one problem they have is that once a melee figure becomes adjacent, they end up cesta-ing themselves.

One solution could be a Boss Nass who makes Gungan Artillerists immune to damage from their own cestas. Shields saves could also be an appropriate CE for him.

What do you think about this:

Jabba Assassins Leader
Cost: 55
HP: 80
Def:16
Atk: 8
Dam: 20

SA:
Unique
Speed 2
Melee Attack
Rapport: A character whose name contains Assassin costs 1 less when in the same squad as this character
Fringe Reinforcements 20
Fringe Counter-Reinforcements: During setup, after seeing your opponent's squad, you can supress opponent's Reinforcements.

CE: Your squad may include Assassin characters or characters whose name contains Assassin of any faction.
Non-Unique Fringe followers within 6 squares gain Assassin.
