Adum Larp
Cost: 16
Faction: Old Republic
Hit Points: 30
Defense: 14
Attack: 3
Damage: 10
Unique
Blaster Scope Upgrade (Allies within 6 squares with nonmelee attacks that deal exactly 10 Damage gain Sniper)
Bondar Crystals (Allies within 6 squares with a lightsaber gain Jolt against adjacent opponents)
Renewable Droid Shields (Unique Droid allies within 6 squares gain Shields 1)
Design Notes
In the last iteration of the Virtual KotOR set, someone suggested a generic Rodian Arms Dealer piece that was very similar to the Czerka Scientist. I thought it might be interesting to instead try a unique character who could pack a little more punch.
Adum Larp, the Rodian arms dealer who appears on Dantooine in both KotOR games, can help many of his Old Republic allies. Blaster Scope Upgrade affects most of the Old Rep "regulars" (Scout, Recruit, Guard, Commander), as well as Carth Onasi, Atton Rand, and, surprisingly, the Jedi Sentinel. Obviously, it also affects countless Fringers (including T3).
Bondar Crystals "modify" allies with lightsabers to give them an activating attack. Needless to say, this makes a number of Old Republic heroes quite a bit more effective. It can assist a few Fringers, most notably Cade Skywalker, who, along with the Jedi Sentinel, can gain ranged Jolt as a loophole. (If this is too powerful--especially considering Cade's Splash--it might be possible to rephrase to to cut that out).
The final special ability, Renewable Droid Shields, helps only UNIQUE droids (perhaps the flavor text will mention how expensive the units are, or how few he has in stock...). The Old Rep currently has no unique droids of their own, but there are a number of Fringers (notably T3 and HK-47) who benefit.
PROXY actually becomes a very valid Old Republic addition, since he can benefit from both the Shields and Bondar Crystals. Indeed, a PROXY/Larp/Lucien Draay squad seems like it could be pretty interesting.
