Honestly, I'm not sure what I think he should cost. I just wanted to remind people of some of his overall value, which I think we've sort of forgotten (in favor of his value as just an Ewok leader).

I don't think Pathfinder is very game breaking, or at least not enough to boost this guy to 20+ cost. I'm more concerned about 2 point Ewoks, but I don't think that's enough to bump him over 20 cost either. I'd be fine with anything 15-18, really.

For the record, I wasn't suggesting a particular price, but just pointing out some of the other factors we might want to think about.
Given that he's Fringe, I'd tend to price him a little higher, so maybe 17 or 18?

Since we're on a new page, here's what the little fella looks like right now:
Chief Chirpa Faction: Fringe Cost: 17? Hit Points: 40 Defense: 16 Attack: 4 Damage: 10
Unique, Ewok, Small. Melee Attack Pathfinder (Allies are not slowed by difficult terrain within 6 squares of this character) Rapport (Ewoks cost 1 less when in the same squad as this character) Stealth (If this character has cover, he does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets) Swarm +2 (+2 Attack against a target for each allied Ewok adjacent to that target)
Commander Effect:
Allied Ewoks gain Swarm +2. Each allied Ewok that scores a critical hit can make 1 immediate extra attack.

I'm with Surfrider here - he probably shouldn't cost that high. I'd personally cost him at 14, or 15, especially considering the state of the meta right now, what with miniatures like Luke Skywalker, Jedi on the loose. As a comparison, are two of these pieces really a match for him?

Three words: Two-point Ewoks!
Yes, I think he IS worthy of being a piece in that price range.
Remember also that he's a Fringe piece, and (with the exception of "fan favorites"), Fringe pieces are often priced a little more conservatively than non-Fringe.
FYI, since we appear to simply be debating the cost, now is also a good time to discuss flavor text. Suggestions?

The chief of the ewok village on Endor, Chirpa made the mysterious Rebel visitors honorary members of the tribe

Ok, Gwek, that's fair. Let's cost at 16 or 17, then.

How about this? If we get approval, we can finalize by... Wednesday?
Chief Chirpa Faction: Fringe Cost: 16 Hit Points: 40 Defense: 16 Attack: 4 Damage: 10
Unique, Ewok. Melee Attack Pathfinder (Allies are not slowed by difficult terrain within 6 squares of this character) Rapport (Ewoks cost 1 less when in the same squad as this character) Stealth (If this character has cover, he does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets) Swarm +2 (+2 Attack against a target for each allied Ewok adjacent to that target)
Commander Effect:
Allied Ewoks gain Swarm +2. Each allied Ewok that scores a critical hit can make 1 immediate extra attack.
Chirpa led the brave Ewoks of the Bright Tree Village in the fight against the Empire.

That should do it, then 'Ewok' is one of those SA's that can be put on the same line as Unique and Melee Attack, right?
Or wait, shouldn't Unique get its own line?

I don't remember exactly. I'm sure GF will sort it out when he does the art.

So, is Chirpa ready for chiefly duties?

JM, Dendrite and I have all approved him with a cost of 16. One more vote and I'll lock him down.
