Lol. It is a lot harder to make Mandos (at least for me) than the other factions because they don't have as many uniques and a lot of the troopers have already been made. I should be able to make a few soon, though.

[Jm419]

Yeah. The faction's essentially dead in Stat Creation; there's only so much you can do with them. They were only a NPC race for a video game without much history or depth.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, that is true. They are getting more of a back story, and it helps that they have their own war, so I should be able to find something. I am open to suggestions: you probably know more about the Mandos than I do.

[Jm419]

MTU is cool, but there are other Mandalores, like Mandalore Ordo/Mandalore the Preserver, Mandalore the First, and if you're in need of troopers, just think "super soldier."

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Thanks, Jm. I don't think anyone has made a Mandalore the First. I think you can expect to see him soon, as well as maybe a "super soldier". Lol.

[Jm419]

Okay. I look forward to it.

[bountyhunter9]

Jm, I might be able to make a "super soldier" type, but I know nothing about Mandalore the First. Do you know anything about him? Wookieepedia has about three lines total on him, and if I don't know anything about him then I'll have to scrap him and try and make another Mandalore. I would really like to carry through with him, mostly because I've never seen one before, but I don't want to completely make up the character.

[bountyhunter9]

If I cannot do a Mandalore the First, would a Jango Fett, Mandalore be alright?

[bountyhunter9]

Okay, I managed to make my first Mando piece for this set. It isn't a Mandalore or a super soldier (although that should be coming), but he is interesting nonetheless. What do you think?

[Jm419]

Mandalorians in general are super soldiers, I'm not saying that you should make them on par with the Jedi, or anything, but that was just somewhere to get you started on Mandalorians.

MtF is going to be tough. But hey! You get to make up a new character. You should make him a visionary type piece, like Revan is for the Old Republic; someone who really unites the faction, and has one very powerful ability, maybe something about an attack bonus against Huges, which would represent the battle with the Mythosaurs, and his CE could grant a bonus to Mandalorian Crusaders. We probably have everything already done except the base stats.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, that's true. I would probably need your help with him, so we could really design him together. I think that would be easier. I kind of envisioned a melee-beatstick (did they even have blasters back then?), who provides a SA or stat boost to Mandalorians with Melee Attack. Here is where I will start with him:

Mandalore the First

Cost:
Hit Points: 120
Defense: 19
Attack: +12
Damage: 20

Special Abilities:
Unique
Melee Attack
Double Attack
<<Name Needed>> (+4 attack and +10 damage on melee attacks against against Huge enemies)
Rapport (allies Mandalorians cost one less when in the same squad as this character)

Commander Effect:
Mandalorian allies with Melee Attack gain <<Name Needed>>.

There. That is just something I came up with using your suggestions. What do you think? What should the SA with the attack bonus against Huge enemies be called? Also, do you think that Rapport is a good way to "unite the faction", or do you have something else in mind?

[bountyhunter9]

Also, what do you think of the Mando Assassin?

[Jm419]

Alright, here goes:

Mandalore the First
Cost: 52
Hit Points: 120
Defense: 19
Attack: +12
Damage: 20

Special Abilities:
Unique
Melee Attack
Double Attack
Mythosaur's Bane (This character gains +4 Attack and +20 Damage against Huge enemies)
Rapport (Allied Mandalorians with Melee Attack cost one less when included in a squad with this character)
Rally (When half of your squad has been defeated, this character gains the following Commander Effect: All allied characters within six squares gain +2 Attack and +4 Defense)

Commander Effect:
Mandalorian allies with Melee Attack gain Flurry Attack.

How does that look? He's as good of a commander to Melee figures as MtU is to Non-Melee. He still has something missing, though. I just kind of threw a cost up there, too.
