What is Internal Strife?

I like the Honor Guard. He feels right, and I like the Melee Reach 2 with Twin.

[bountyhunter9]

Oh, Internal Strife is only found on one character (the only one subject to this character's CE), so I should write it in. It's:

On an attack roll of natural 1, this character joins the opponent's squad until the end of the skirmish

Yeah, I really like him too, but there's one possible point of abuse. Let's say you have Mandalore the Ultimate guarded by 4 of these (yeah, it's 151 points, but just as an example). MtU effectively has 410 HP with a 27 base defense (31 because he'll be in cover from the Honor Guards).

While that would cost a lot of points (basically your entire squad), it may be too powerful. Should I change Honor Guard so that it doesn't stack with itself? If so, how would I word that?

[Jm419]

Very cool. That should really go on an Anakin Skywalker, or something.

Ok. But that's 151 points - could you get 410 HP for 151 points any other way? IF so, I don't think it's a problem. And I was going to check if it did stack, but the database is gone.

How do you like that? We're the only Database left.

[bountyhunter9]

It's a very flavourful ability, but I don't like putting it on characters with Force ratings, because it will almost never come into play (ie, use the Force to reroll a 1).

Oh yeah, you can get 990 HP for 151 points if you wanted to. It may actually be more effective if it just stacks, because all the Mandalores have pretty low defense scores at 19.

What other databases were there?

[Jm419]

True, but that could be an interesting decision (provided you don't have both FR1 and MotF2). Do you want to spend to Force Points on that?

EDIT: Duh, you totally would.

That would be ok, then. I'd allow it to stack.

Well, the WotC Database, of course. Are the forums still there?

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Yeah, in most situation you would. But, if you're playing with victory points, you could choose to not reroll the attack, have your character join the enemy, and then kill him off the next turn. Assuming that the Jedi is low on HP, of course. But you could score some good points. That's why Dark Temptation can be so effective.

Okay.

That's true. I don't know if the forums are still there; I never visit them.

[Jm419]

True. That's a very good point.

I doubt it. I'll go see, but I don't think there's any way to get in there.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. It's not very fun killing your own character, though, even if you do get the points.

Did you find it?

[Jm419]

It's not your character any more.

Yeah. Still there, but you have to go in through Google, or something like that.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. True. But if it's like your signature character (this actually happened to me the other day), you don't like to kill it off. It's the best, though, when you have a squad with a Boba Merc against a squad with a Boba Merc, and one of the Bobas betrays to the other team. So you have two of the exact same Unique character.

Odd.

[Jm419]

Epic win. What character did you lose?

I know. And inconvenient...or it would be, if anyone still posted there.

[bountyhunter9]

I lost Boba BH. Probably the most overrated SWM, but he's still my favourite. It was against Kreia. Before I rolled, I said that there was a 10% chance that one of us was not going to survive the shot. But, I rolled a one. I would have thrown the die across the room (the game was close, and I hate to lose), but it wasn't within reach. My opponent grabbed it before I even had a chance. He said that he didn't want to have his good luck ruined by my touch.

Lol. Is it deserted?

[Jm419]

I was playing Jango, BH once, and I only needed one roll of a 2 to win the skirmish, and my opponent couldn't possibly beat me in one round - so I had four attacks. The first attack, I rolled a 1. I laughed it off, "haha, so funny...you're dead." Second attack, a 1. Ok, whatever. The opponent (like Agen Kolar, or something, an old ROTS Jedi) hits me both times, critting once. I lose 60 HP, and am down to like 10. Anyway, next phase (they were the last two characters left) I rolled two 1's again. Rolling a 1 four times in a row. That's a 1/160,000 chance, and I managed to hit it. I lost the skirmish.

Basically.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Wow. That's insane. I've never had bad luck on that scale. I can't even remember a time when I rolled two 1s in a row.
