I would like to see an alternative to the Mouse Droid. Not a replacement or even an improvement. Just another cost 3 figure with Relay Orders that is different. Like a medium base and living, but horrible defense. Maybe even a hindrance-type SA to balance it further. Something like this...

Human Courier
Cost 3
HP: 10
Atk: 0
Def: 11
Dmg: 10

Melee Attack
Relay Orders
Evasive Movement: If this character moves, it may not not end its move adjacent to an enemy.

I like this idea a lot!

I'd also like to see it on maybe a few more pieces that have other uses. I know the NR R2 and C-3P0 got it, and the Mandos just got it, but I think there is room for it on some other pieces that isn't their sole purpose.

Rebel Recruitment Officer
cost: 20
Hit Points: 50
Defense: 16
Attack: 6
Damage: 10
SA:Bravado +20
Rebel Conscription
Relay Orders
CE: Non-Unique Rebel Followers gain Rookie (This character gets +2 Attack and +2 Defense while within 6 squares of an allied commander) and Bravado +10 (+4 Attack and +10 Damage against an adjacent enemies with a higher point cost)
The Alliance to Restore the Republic needs all the all the help it can get.

I'd also like to see something like Relay Orders/Booming Voice just for Force Users:

Force Meld 1: Choose an Allied Commander with a Force Rating, for the rest of the Skirmish, that allied commander can count distance from this character as well as from itself for the purpose of the commander effect.

Force Meld 2: For the rest of the Skirmish, an adjacent Commander with a Force Rating's Commander Effect normally limited to 6 squares has unlimited range

Force Meld 3: For the rest of the Skirmish, an adjacent Commander with a Force Rating's Commander Effect normally limited to 6 squares has unlimited range. All allied characters with Force Meld (including this one) get +2 attack and +2 Defense, this effect stacks.

This isn't quite how I want...and I'd like to add the bonus to the lesser Melds but I didn't want it to be overpowered.

I just got this idea from listening to the guys from the mini-verse show and think it would a be really cool ability. I know it would be pretty limited but they made mention to modown now (Spelling much??) (The ithorian guy) he has a pretty decent ability, war throat, who roron corb doesnt...and he should, so what about an ithorian commander whos fringe and grants war throat to allied ithorians? I know theres only 3 in the game but they made a commander for defels where there was only one so this isint out of the realm of possibility. I think it would be a fun power to add, and give the ithroian from RS some use.

This is something for Yoda - the Rebels need this boardwide ability:

Force Suppression 4 - Force 4: When an enemy spends Force points, they must immediately spend an additional Force point or the action is canceled.

Mainly, it blunts Bastila somewhat. Instead of ABM effectively being an 'always on' ability for the first 5 rounds, it would make ABM cost 1 more force point so that she can't keep it on quite as much.

+1 to this or something like it to help mitigate ABM

Also watching some season one clone wars, how about this for a couple unique useful separatists:

Sergeant Slick, Separatist Spy (RM clone trooper gunner)
11, hp 20, def 15, atk 7, dmg 10
SA
Close Quarters Fighting
Demolition Charge
Spy
Recon
Internal Strife

Commander Sorbek, prison warden (RM Trandoshan)
17, Hp 60, def 17, ATk 8, dmg 20
SA
Unique
Bloodthirsty
Rapport Commando Droids cost 2 less when in the same squad as this character
CE Droids are subject to this effect
each time a follower misses an attack, it may reroll with +4 attack, if it still misses that character is defeated and each other non-unique ally has +1 attack. This bonus is cumulative.

Commando Droids without melee attack gain Energy Shield

I really like the Swordmaster ability idea; however, I would tone it down to picking the ability at the beginning of the skirmish (seeing your opponent's squad should be enough, and it would be confusing to change from round-to-round) and change the name to involve lightsabers instead of swords; the name swordmaster can be saved for something that applies to characters with actual vibroswords.

I just posted this on the bastilla thread but here are some nice ideas to counter her to a small degree:



For the sith:

Darth Vectivus
25, hp 50, def 15, atk 10, dmg 20
SA melee attack
Force 4
Illusion
Force Phantom (Force 2; replaces turn, attack one enemy with a force rating regardless of line of sight, ignoring melee attack and targeting. This attack counts as an adjacent melee attack and ignores cover)

Mando SA to give out Disciplined leader to one ally

Separatist
More SA's like fire control/Roger Roger/Droid master that can't be disrupted or a way to increase the range of the ones we have (RR, DM)
My suggestion, droid master on a good high hp/cost unique piece like Sev'rance Tann, new Grievous, Commander Sorbek, Asajj, or another Sep Commander as of yet unmade.
Or
Droid Control Ship/Transmitter
Ally's with special abilities that affect droids normally limited to 6 squares have unlimited range

New Republic
New Talon Karde with Ysalmari 

Rebels...
Yah they need to be disrupted... Stupid Rieken haha. 

More Clone Wars

R3 "Goldie"
14, hp 30, def 16, atk 7, dmg 0,
SA
Unique
Droid
Melee attack
Momentum
Spy (this character does not count as a legal target until it makes an attack or uses a special ability that deals damage)
Blown Cover (whenever this character activates within 6 squares of an enemy character it loses spy for the remainder of the skirmish, save 6)
Override
Traps

And some Lethal Alliance anyone?

Rianna Saren (RM Mission Vao)
25, hp 80, def 18, atk 11, dmg 10
SA
Unique
Stealth
Twin Attack
Mobile Attack 
Splash 10
Grenades 40
Synergy +4 and +4 Zeeo
Rapport Zeeo
Thorn of Ryloth (replaces attacks, make an attack at +10 damage against one adjacent enemy, this counts as a melee attack and a critical hit)

CE
Allied Zeeo gains pulse cannon

Zeeo (RM assassin droid)
25, hp 50, def 16, atk 0, dmg 0
SA
Unique
Droid
Flight
Energy shield
Synergy Rianna Saren +4 and +4
Rapport Rianna Saren
Stun (replaces attacks, one living enemy within 6 squares is activated this turn, save 11)
Speed 4
Advanced Door Gimmick

CE
Allied Rianna Saren gains flight

That might be a tad overpowering man - how is, for example, a Felucian going to be able to use a second FP after Blast? You could board-wide wipe out some characters abilities, and I would personally be fearful such a Yoda would merely become the new gatekeeper himself. (Vandar with Range-6 is at least avoidable)

I was thinking more along another current Yoda ability (which seems to be the WOTC interpretation of Force Suppression anyway, just under the wrong name), with merely a really simple upgrade

Force Defense 2 (Force 4: Cancel a Force power used by a character) - this one is just open range

I would also hope the piece with it would have multi-faction capability and be a piece we would likely see played often even if never using this ability - something like, just for instance, the Gray Jedi (if he had a base 4 FP) where he is either his normal self or becomes a one-time force-blocker to open a window against BSJM or maybe keep another character alive in non-Shan situations. Bastilla wouldn't be affected that much, but a person would still need to think twice about auto-including her because Gray Jedi would likely be in peoples squads anyway with the ability to throw a wrench in BSJMs plans.

Since reading the new Crimson Empire I would really love a new Kir Kanos!
