General Etain Tur-Mukan

[Darth Chaos]

Here's General Etain Tur-Mukan, a Jedi from Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels. She really cares about her clone troops. I don't want to give away too much about the character, but I tried to make these stats fit as best as I could. We used the Young Jedi Knight for her figure.

Let me know what you think!!!

Nice custom. Having not read Traviss's Republic Commando novels, I don't know anything about the character, but from a minis perspective, it looks really good. It's a powerful CE, but with only 70 HP and 17 def, it's balanced. Force Bubble is cool, and she can stay cheap with only 3 FPs.

The only thing is, I think Bodyguard would need a rename, because it would only affect clones. Nice work, as always.

[Darth Chaos]

In Bodyguard we specified Order 66. Do you think that's enough, or maybe a new ability called Sacrifice or something like that? I hate to create a new ability when a simple mod to an existing one might work.

Bodyguard...ugh. I mean, yes it fits, yes it should be there, but...still...

Nice job on the piece, though.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, I don't know what you could do. With specific Bodyguard SAs, WotC just names the character (Emperor's BG, Thrawn's BG), but I don't know what to do with the Order 66. If she lead a specific type of trooper, that would make it easier...idk. Jm, any suggestions? I guess a new ability wouldn't hurt, if that's what it comes down to.

Oh, as a side note, this would be a lot of fun with the new GaW Commander Ashoka.

[Jm419]

She led Republic Commandos - but it was a normal Clone she defended. Uh, idk.

[Darth Chaos]

What do you think about bumping her points to 28 or so and giving her:

Blaster 10 (Replaces attacks: sight; +8 Attack for 10 Damage)

She carries around a big gun in the books, and some people on another board suggested it. I'm just not sure what to do to her cost if we add it. What do you think?

[Jm419]

Or lower her damage to 10, give her Lightsaber, and lose Melee Attack.

[bountyhunter9]

Both options are possbile, of course there are benefits to both. Blaster 10 seems more like a Jedi, showing that the LS is the primary form of attack, while non-Melee-damage-10-Lightsaber seems more for someone who uses a blaster more often than a lightsaber. Depends on what this character does, really.

I've made a few revisions. The original post has the new card.

Here's the link to the old one:

And here's the link to the new one:

Okay. It looks good, although I still think Bodyguard should be renamed to something specific, because it only affects those with Order 66. Or, depending on how she defends the clone in the novel, you could change it to an entirely different ability, where she can prevent all damage to an adjacent ally, with the side effect of her being defeated instead. Obviously, it's not Bodyguard, but (depending on how you word it), it could work on special abilities too, like Missiles and Thudbug, instead of just attacks.

[Darth Chaos]

No one here likes Bodyguard! What's up with that?! ;D

I don't want to let slip a spoiler, so I won't go into what she does that made me think of Bodyguard, but it's the most literal translation possible, with the exception of the Order 66 specification in the text.

At one point she also shields both herself and Darman in a force bubble to protect them both from blast debris. So Bodyguard and Force Bubble in conjunction was the only way I could get it to translate again. She takes the damage, then bubbles it away.

Do you think she's under-costed? There's alot of text on the card.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Bodyguard's fine, it's just the name that bothers me. You can go with normal, general Bodyguard or Order 66-specific Bodyguard. Doesn't matter to me; it's your piece.

She may be undercosted. Most of the text, however, comes from Jedi Mind Trick (very situational FP, especially when she has Bubble) and the CE. The CE is very powerful, but it's similar to Commander Ashoka's Rolling Cleave CE. I'd say it's fine, but I could be wrong.

[Darth Chaos]

Think 30 would be too expensive?

[bountyhunter9]

Probably. I think she's good at 28, 30 or more would be too high for what she does.
