"They call that a defense?"

Lol. You do know that your Sith'ari is identical to mine all the way down to the Lightsaber Reflect? I guess you really liked my old version.

Trooper Coordinator is neat, and I like how it works with the CE. That's very clever.

What's with these low cost generals?

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Yeah, I did. Except, I dropped the cost a point to 92. Lol.

LOL. Honestly, I didn't even notice that. I was just thinking about the Imp Officer's CE (the same as the Moff's but an immediate attack instead of move), and I originally had the Coordinator on Veers, but switched it for reasons unknown. Lol.

Idk. Give more to the Imps. I like how Mr. Tagge turned out, but what do you think of this CE for him instead:

Damage from the attacks of adjacent allies cannot be prevented or redirected.

And, for Veers, I just gave him that CE to fill the hole. I wanted to wait for you so we could come up with a really good one. Any thoughts?

[Jm419]

Well, for 92 points, he looks good. That's one down.

It works well, I wouldn't even change that piece. The CE works well with the Trooper Coordinator.

Give that CE to Veers. That'll be better on him.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Yeah. What do you think of the new Force powers I gave him?

Yeah, I like how it turned out too.

Okay, I'll give that to Veers.

Giving Veers the CE that only affects adjacents, the Cassio Tagge's CE seems less unique. I'm thinking of changing that one now. Any thoughts there? He's that one on the Death Star in ANH who actually takes the Rebels seriously (that's why he gave Accurate Shot, which kind of fits). Any ideas? Maybe giving non-unique followers within 6 squares +10 damage against adjacent enemies? Or nonadjacent enemies?

[Jm419]

I like MLT, but I'm not sure that Deadly Force Grip is...you know...deadly. 20 Damage...

Oh, yeah, true. Non-Adjacent enemies...why not just grant Deadeye? It's a useful ability which WotC has sort of disowned.

[bountyhunter9]

I wanted a cheap Grip that does more damage. I admit the name doesn't fit, but it's the best I could come up with.

Deadeye sounds good. How does he look now?

[Jm419]

Lol. That works. I was just expecting something, you know...deadly. Like 40, 60 Damage.

I see you raised the cost, that's good. Advantageous Attack...what does that even do? Is that higher attack on AoOs, or something?

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. That would make sense, but the name fits better than Improved Force Grip, the only other name I could come up with.

Advantageous Attack is Cunning Attack without the attack boost. So: +10 damage against an enemy who has not activated this round. You may have noticed that I like to give my cheaper commanders with poor attack scores some sort of damage booster, especially here, where all three of my cheap commanders have some sort of attack/damage booster.

[Jm419]

Haha. True.

Oh, that makes more sense. It doesn't really match Advantageous Cover, though, but it works well enough. I should start using that ability - it's a good, all around useful ability.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, Adv. Cover is far better, but Cunning (and Opportunist) is so over-used that it's good to give a piece Adv. Attack instead (or Deceptive) on certain pieces. It's also good to put it on characters that have higher attack scores, like 15 or more, to keep their attack down but damage up.

[Jm419]

Yeah, I was thinking it would be a good replacement for the omni-present Sith Rage on some of the more powerful Sith Lords.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. It (or Deceptive) would fit them well, too.

[Jm419]

That's true. You don't see Deceptive all that often, but compared to Sith Rage, it's a relatively young ability.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. There are some good abilities out there, the trick is just to find them.
