Future Classes/Heroes, what would you like to see?

By LeighPouse, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

As the title says, what kinds of future Heroes/Classes would you guys like to see?

Personally I would like to see some of the following types:

- Jedi Sentinel -

Diala is great but she doesn't really feel like a Jedi Warrior, more of a consular than anything (not that this is a bad thing). What I would like would be a proper Jedi Warrior who would maybe get a bonus for carrying 2 melee weapons into battle (much like Jyn with pistols). I would also like to see him/her have a special action for Sabre Throw, take an action and 2 strain and perform an attack with +2 or +3 Range. Would like to see some other force abilities get used too, like Jump (basically the Nexu's Pounce).

- Jedi Shadow -

A double-bladed lightsabre wielder. Again just to satisfy my need for a Jedi Warrior. Would love to see this class have force speed, use an action and take a strain to gain double movement points and perform a move action.

- Bounty Hunter -

Who says all Mercenaries have to be bad, would like to see this class with a flamethrower ability that affects the 6 squares immediately in front of you (3x2) with 1 red dice so it's not to op. Could have a jetpack so it has no trouble with difficult terrain/passing enemies.

- Pirate -

Another bad guy gone good, this guy could come with a Kowakian Monkey-Lizard companion (we haven't seen any companions yet after all) that he can deploy like a minion in Descent, it would have no attack but a speed of 3/4 and could interact with crates for you and the Imperial Player would need an extra +2 on accuracy to attack as it's so small and nimble.

So there's my suggestions, what do you guys think? what would you like to see in future expansions?

Thanks for reading, LeighPouse

Yes, I did steal the titles from KOTOR/SWTOR

Please no more jedi... Diala already doesn't make any sense. You'd think a jedi in their ranks would've gotten some mention in the movies considering they were mostly extinct. And why didn't she teach Luke or Leia anything? She had to know more of the force than the few hours Luke spent with Obi-wan.

As for the bounty hunter, not all bounty hunters are Boba Fett. Most probably don't even have jetpacks and flamethrowers. It sounds like you just want Boba Fett as a hero. If you were to get a rebel bounty hunter, he'd probably be focused around stunning and capturing people as opposed to murdering masses.

I just really want a Jedi Warrior character.

Who wouldn't want to play as Boba Fett?

Boba Fett is already in the game. If you want to play as him, you'll have to play as the imperial's during campaign or use him in skirmish.

+1 for more Jedi. I would love to see a Jedi vs. Sith Big Box expansion. This system would be perfect for it.

The new sourcebooks for the FFG RPG allows for a wide range of Jedi characters during the Rebellion period, I don't see why this wouldn't too. Doesn't mean they will survive till Endor, but they could exist.

Once we get far enough into the game to have an Endor mission I want an Ewok hero. For real that'd be awesome.

I think what the rebels are missing is a Droid hero of some kind . He could fill pretty much any roll, support or damage or what have you.

Also a demolitions expert type person would be cool.

Approaching it from a mechanics point of view, I'd like to see:

A true tank

A heavy weapon expert - low mobility, high damage (I though Biv was this but he looks like close range dps more than anything).

A hero of the style of Boba in game (hyper mobile, defensive, debuffs, but lower damage).

+1 for more Jedi. I would love to see a Jedi vs. Sith Big Box expansion. This system would be perfect for it.

Would love to see a whole new game in this style set in The Old Republic, ideal for multiple Jedi vs multiple Sith

A heavy weapon expert - low mobility, high damage (I though Biv was this but he looks like close range dps more than anything).

Agreed with this, thought he was gonna be a mid range tank of sorts

We'll probably get generic Ewoks in the Endor box (if there is one) and a Wicket Ally Pack, unfortunately this is the closest I feel we will get to an Ewok Hero. As for the droid hero, that would be awesome
