Commander Effect:
Droids are subject to these effects. Allied droids gain Accurate Shot. If this character has line of sight to an enemy at the beginning of a phase you may activate 1, 2, or 3 characters this turn. (This includes Droid and Savage characters)

General Grevious is the great commander of the droid army after the death of Count Dooku. He would strike fear into the hearts of jedi and then kill them when they least expect an attack.

Sepertist's Counter to Grandmaster Luke Skywalker.

Very nice stuff GG! I see exactly what your doing here, and I like it.

My only problem is, is he really worth the 92 points? He seems ike he could be costed higher

With Triple/Twin/Ambush, on one figure he hits for 120 damage. Then, if that figure is a Jedi/Sith, it becomes 180. Finally, if they are also activated, the damage jumps up to 240.

All that without a commander effect boosting him. He becomes the single most powerful damage dealing character in the game. Other characters that can get close to this damage need outside sources....he does not.

That chance to 1 hit ko bane/GMLS is frightening. I think the cost is well into the 100's, but below 115.

Still, an excellent piece in the found era of 100+ minis.

[generalgrevious]

Upped cost to 105. I was planning on making him 100+ but the fact that he has no Non-Melee defensive ablities made me lower him..

[planeswalker459]

Yeah, he is definatley weak to melee and shooters, so maybe a defense upgrade to 22-23 would help, without really altering the cost.

105 seems good on him.

[generalgrevious]

Upped defence to 23!

[Sharrakor]

Do you really want his CE to overshadow GG,DAC's? I know they've got about 50 points between them, but there's something I dislike about how GG's CEs seem to be 'tiered'. Or maybe I actually like it so much I'm in denial. I don't know.

[gwek]

I'm inclined to agree with Sharrakor, and I think maybe we're not in denial.

[generalgrevious]

I think that the difference in point value is enough to sway from using one of the two, but if more people disagree then I shall think of changeing it..

[generalgrevious]

So what are other's opions of this guy?

[gwek]

Sorry, man, it's really tough for me to comment on such a powerful piece. It's nothing against you or the piece, but about the limited frame of reference for something like this.

I do think Triple/Twin with Ambush may be problematic...

[generalgrevious]

Its okay..

I think totally that Triple/Twin with Ambush represents him well b/c in the series he came out busting Jedis up.

[Roque Saber]

Well, he might've come out hacking away at Jedi, but we're talking obscene amounts of damage here! If anything, remove opportunist. Also, change Fear to Fear -2 (so we can use it later)

His CE, even if he does cost a lot more, does overshadow GGDAC b/c it is so similar. Remember, this is Scourge of the Jedi, not Super-Ultimate-Unkillable-Cyborg, so try to keep that in mind.

[generalgrevious]

Changed the commander effect. Also added in Makashi Style

[Roque Saber]

Is fear supposed to be board wide, or within 6? Also, since he is intimidating to everyone, I would make it affect all enemies.

Fear -2 (Enemy characters within 6 squares gain -2 attack and -2 defense)

[generalgrevious]

Well I was making it a more effective ability since that was before GOWK and yes its supposed to affect everybody so thats how I kindof balanced it out. Ill change it back.
