Resilient definite describes it. Is that flavor enough for you BH9? I almost want to suggest something like Doctrine of Fear, something to demonstrate his awe-inspiring presence, but DoF is already on Daala and would refrain from reusing the ability unless necessary.

I was thinking of something more offensive, like Vicious Attack, or something.

And Jerec. Lol.

Well, he already has Deadly Attack, so Vicious would kind of be overkill...

something to demonstrate his awe-inspiring presence That is the reason I initially thought Commanding Presence (Disruptive with activation protection) was a good addition. It reflects the fact that his mere presence commanded loyalty and curtailed scheming against him.

I see. It was a good idea, but didn't seem to fully translate into the ability.
BH9, do you still want him to have Vicious, or is Deadly with Double/Twin enough?

If we want him more deadly in melee we could give him Flurry Attack...
I see what BH is saying, though, about him not being Shimmra enough. Although I like the commander effect, I wonder if that's the issue? As a leader, is he a little too plain vanilla in what he gives out?

Vicious or Flurry, or something else offensive, would be a good fit, I think.
Changing the CE could work as well. It does seem to be kind of generic for the Vong. Maybe some variation of a "cannon" CE for Shimrra?

Ah, I like the CE. We could make it a bit more specific, but I like the effect.

I think the wounded Vong CE is a bit generic for the Vong. It would fit with any number of their commanders/characters. If we keep the CE on Shimrra, I think we should try and find/make a special ability that respresents Shimrra well.

A new ability you suggest? What would it do and how will it add flavor to the piece? Or is there a way we could modify the CE to make it fit better?

I'm not exactly sure, but something to do with his Sceptre, or his hatred of the Jedi, or something. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe Vong get +4 attack against Jedi? (since I don't think they need more damage boosts)

Oh, I wasn't thinking in terms of the CE, I was thinking more in terms of what Shimrra himself should have. I think the CE is fine, as long as we give him another ability.
A possibility would be to make him like Darth Bane. Drop Twin, but add Jedi Hunter and something like Cunning Attack, and maybe something else more situational that he can already get from the Vong (such as Poison +10).
