Interesting, I like it. Shouldn't Consumer of Life have a limitation on it, such as making it a Force Power, or at least describe when it takes effect in the round?

[planeswalker459]

Agreed. It should happen either when the character activates, or DNU activates

other than that, good figure

[Jm419]

Probably when DNU activates.

Base stats look okay, I'd say.

[gwek]

Wound in the Force should probably be a Special Ability (like Mettle or Force Ascetic) rather than a Force power.

As the character is designed, Wound in the Force is virtually useless, by the way. In order to make use of WitF, DNU needs to use Sith Hunger... which replaces attacks. All his other Force powers ALSO replace attacks, which means he can't use any of them.

That means that all he can use his bonus FPs for is to re-roll (but only saves, because he doesn't have any attacks left) and to increase his movement (but only if he moves AFTER he's used WitF).

I don't think the idea of DNU zipping around the board with a super-move is what you had in mind.

[Jm419]

I believe we already have a WitF finalized - he might need a rename on that, or we could replace it with the other one.

That's a good point, Gwek.

[bountyhunter9]

Here is a definition of WitF I found on the Dark Exile in the database: Wound In the Force: (Each enemy character within 3 squares loses one Force Point each time this character activates, save 16). It was a special ability. Does this one seem a better fit, or do we need a rename?

[bountyhunter9]

Also (random) I think 1 starting Force would be too low for a character of his cost, especially because his focus would be using Force powers

[Jm419]

Yeah, that's the WitF I was talking about. It originally came off the Jedi Exile, I believe.

The Force should go up, too.

[generalgrevious]

I think this is what were looking at now...

[Jm419]

Right. I think he may hvae too many FPs, and the Demoralize may need to be rethought. It's passable, but I think it's already been done on another figure.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, I don't think he needs both Lightsaber Assault and Lightsaber Sweep. I would suggest dropping Sweep at this point.

[Jm419]

Yeah, I agree. So, we're killing Sweep.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. He needs some kind of defense, too. His damaging FPs have range 6, and a base 17 defense and 120 HPs will see him shot down in one round at the 66 point cost.

[Jm419]

Nihilus was almost all offense, though. He hit hard, but didn't really try to block in the game.
