The Defense on Vaklu is a bit high, but passable. He's a good commander for the Sith.

The Sith Blademaster is quite powerful, I like it. Modelled after Kas'im? Why does he have both Makashi and Soresu? Mastery works...and I really like the CE. Nice work.

Good, a Sith Commando. But the normal Sith Trooper has 20 Damage. I think that he could have 20 Base Damage and still have Cunning, and that wouldn't be a problem.

Sith Wrangler? I like Tame Beast, but why not just give it the ability, "Adjacent ally with Savage loses Savage?" Or do you still want the other effect of Savage in play?

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, he helps out the 20-30 non-Unique Force users the Sith have quite a bit if you play a lot of them. And of course the Onderonian Soldiers.

Yeah, it is kind of modelled after Kas'im. He has both Makashi and Soresu because the Sith blademasters were supposed to know all forms of combat, and giving him two styles is a decent way to represent that without making him overly powerful. And the number of Sith with any innate defensive ability (ie, not a Force power) is very limited.

I would give him 20 damage, but that would mean that I increase the cost, and I was going for cheap, stealthy Recon more than attack potential.

Lol. Those are the characters with the double-swords on Onderon. The ones that tell the Bomas where to go. His ability is written like it is so that the piece is still considered to have Savage to benefit from the Wrangler's CE. Otherwise, if Tame Beast caused the creature to lose Savage, it wouldn't be subject to the CE.

[Jm419]

The Sith do need good middle level commanders like him. Good owrk.

Oh, ok. Did WotC ever make Juyo? I know about Vaapad, but it's not exactly the same thing. And I like that he's completely offense; that role is fufilled well here.

I suppose, yeah. Makes the Sith multi-dimensional.

That's what I thought. Ok, the ability makes a bit more sense now, lol. That's a well thought out and well designed piece.

[bountyhunter9]

Thanks.

No, they never made Juyo. Probably the most interesting style, too.

True.

Lol. It is a bit intricate. Because of that property of losing Savage=not subject to CEs, the Fringe Beast Trainer, also in this set, is an interesting piece. Either the Savages gain Stable Footing and are able to get extra movement from the second part of the Beast Trainer's CE, or you can move the Beast Trainer within 6 of the Savage to take away Savage.

[Jm419]

Well, that just means we can keep ours. I really like the Database Juyo.

Oh, yeah, I didn't even think of that. Very cool. You get karma just for noticing that.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, true. It is nice. Powerful, but it fits Juyo very well.

Lol. Thanks. Savages are really an interesting aspect of the game.

[Jm419]

I think so, yeah.

I usually don't play them. Lol. I'm more traditionalist.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. I like my Savages with Exar Kun. And I like my Exar Kun with Savages. They compliment each other nicely, in fun squads.

[Jm419]

Well, considering they're supposed to...

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Is Exar the only commander that affects only Savages? I can't think of any others that do.

[Jm419]

I believe so, but time after time, you prove your superior knowledge of SWM trivia, while I gasp in wonder.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. I'm not that good. Just up-to-date . If Exar is the only Savage commander, that's pretty sad. No wonder no one plays them.

[Jm419]

They're an interesting dynamic, that's for sure.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. You'll lose, but you'll kill a lot of Ugnaughts.
