How much wan?

By JohnWE, in X-Wing

How much wan can an Obi-Wan Kenobi,

if an Obi-Wan can Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Also, why isn't he a crew card yet?

@ObiWonka, you've been summoned.

Ben kenobi- 5 (7?) points- unique- Rebel only

If performing an attack at range 1 that hits, remove all shield tokens from the enemy ship then cancel all damage dice rolled. Then discard this card.

He rode in the Falcon, turned off the Death Stars hanger shield, and then died.

Seems like a decent idea. 5 points seems a little high, I'd go 4. Its powerful, but at most you are stripping off 5 shields of an enemy Falcon or B-wing. You have to be in range 1 and its only one time.

Unless you're flying against a Death Star, his ability is useless.

I'll be very surprised if we get him as a crew card. He wasn't involved in space combat in the civil war era at all.

He was just a passenger.

Doesn't seem to fit for me. But I coudl be wrong.

I suspect an obi wan crew would be something like

"discard this crew, Ships cannot attack you this turn, you cannot attack this turn"

He could cause you to ignore blinded pilot critical effects...

Or some sort of enhanced version of deadeye.

"Trust your feelings..."

"Use the Force, Luke."

[Action]: Discard this card to put add one Focus token to this ship. Turn up to two blank results to [eyeball] results on your next attack. You cannot use a Target Lock to assist in this attack.

Once per round, the first ship that declares a friendly small ship at Range 1 to be the target of an attack must choose another target.

This little one is not worth the effort

Though how this would interact with Biggs would probably be a nightmare.

I guess we should be asking for a "Obi Wan Force Ghost" card. Maybe some sort of effect that only kicks in when the ship carrying Obi Wan is destroyed?

Hmm, then people would only want to kill it last but you could build knowing that.. interesting.

Because Obi-Wan would probably be yet another rebel-specific crew relegated to Wan Solo

(also the potential build-name: Wan Solo)

I think you are wrong. Reason? We have a C3P0 card.

I think Obi-Wan's ability would have to do with helping others escape, maybe something along the lines of "You may discard this card to increase your agility by 1, then assign a focus token to your ship."?

Kinda like when he died and Han, Luke, Leia and friends booked it outta there?

but, sir! the odds of successfully rolling an evade every turn are approximately seven thousand three hundred and twenty to one!

Never tell me the odds!

Crew: 0 points, Rebels only.

Has no effect on the game. If any enemy squad includes Darth Vader, discard this card.

An Obi-Wan would Kenobi as much wan,

as an Obi-Wan could Kenobi

if an Obi-Wan could Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Leia wasn't so much a space combat character either, yet we have her as a crew.

Pretty good idea. But I like his "There are alternatives to fighting" quote better.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

4 Points

Crew

Rebel Only

Action: Discard this card. For the remainder of the turn enemies may not choose you as the target of their attack. You may not perform attacks until your next turn.

"I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid"

If an enemy ship at range 1-3 has any of the R2-D2 or C-3P0 cards equipped they must immediately discard them, then discard this card. 5 points

Or

"There aren't the Droids you're looking for"

If a friendly ship at range 1 -2 has either the c-3P0 or R2-D2 crew cards equipped it may use them twice this turn.

Then discard both cards - 3 points

The truth, from a certain point of view

2 pts

Action: Discard this card to equip an upgrade card costing 2 or less to an empty slot on your ship.

Tricks and self-sacrifice.

Force push

2 points

Action: target ship at range 1-2 must perform a barrel roll or straight 1 maneuver.

Obi Wan Kenobi

Crew 4 pts

Discard Obi Wan to force your opponent to discard any Tractor Beam upgrade on any ship OR Discard a Darth Vader Crew Card on any ship.

How much wan can an Obi-Wan Kenobi,

if an Obi-Wan can Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

5 points

Discard this card to cut off your best friend's 3 remaining limbs and do nothing as he is burned alive. Then, steal his Lightsaber and leave him for dead.

"these blast points, too accurate"

Action: Target Locks cannot be spent against this ship this turn.

Discard at the start of the activation phase to nullify Darth Vader's ability this round.

Needs something extra like: Gain one stress at the end of activation phase if you have no stress and Luke is also on board. Remove one stress at the end of combat phase if Luke is also on board.
