Homebrew Characters Thread

By Rogue Dakotan, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

greedo has been updated.

Note his itchy trigger finger isn't once per round though, which is why I think he deserved a slightly higher cost.

I feel like the Itchy Trigger Finger should not be so steep. Maybe try this:

"Itchy Trigger Finger: At the start of a hostile figure's activation, you may interrupt to perform an attack against that figure. If this attack deals no damage, that figure may interrupt to perform an attack targeting Greedo."

I like it. Still thematic. updated greedo.

Going back to the Delta Squad guys, they need some clanky opposition.

Droideka

Elite CIS Unit

Droid-Heavy Weapon

+2 Accuracy, ~:+2 dmg, ~:Blast 1, ~: Recover 1

Assault

Tripod: You cannot attack if you have moved this activation, and you cannot move if you have attacked this activation.

Shields: If you have not exited your space this round, when defending against ranged attacks add +2 block to your results.

Speed 6

Health 7 (they had weak chassis and relied on shielding)

Attack BGR

Defense B

9 points

The Shields ability should probably read:

Shields: If you have not exited your space this round, when defending against ranged attacks: add +2 block to your results.

Since they have to turn off shields to roll around, they should be more vulnerable when moving.

I like that version better. You have to strike while a Droideka sets up or you're screwed. Updated.

Does anyone know if there are any photoshop templates for IA cards out there? Wouldn't mind actually putting some of these together into actual cards.

I'm going on a Separatist bender today. Pequel/Clone Wars haters better clear out.

Had an easy day at work: (This isn't finished, I'll probably add more assets to make it easier later, such as symbols and more values)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/938qkx8yih3wn0y/SkirmishTemplate.xcf?dl=0

This is a Gimp editable file that takes a lot of the heavy lifting from making your own card and Gimp is free! I had all the layers in folders so all you need to do is reveal what colour dice you need, what health you want, ect. I didn't get to do 1 - 18 like I wanted though, so you need to figure out that fun bit by yourself.

I also have it as a Photoshop image, but due to not owning photoshop, I don't know how compatible it is.

It downloads as a .xcf document...how might I open such a thing?

http://www.gimp.org/

I t's an open source image editing program, not on par with Photoshop but with enough options to allows for editing of things like these cards.

This guy is in the Darth Vader comic from Marvel. He is a monster.

I really like it. It's the kind of massive brawler that Scum needs. O think Assault plus Charge might be too much. Maybe change Charge to its original wording where you have to have taken damage to do it?

I've adjusted the point costs on the Tac Droids to prevent spamming in Skirmish. Imagining a full amount of Battle Droids (Elite and Regular) with double reroll made me realize that Inspiring needed to be costed higher.

My third character keeping up my tendency for randomness.

Tear it apart/like if you wish....... :D

I updated the template with more symbols.
Here's a test run:

Okay, thank you XD.

I don't feel Tech order as thematic for Dooku; you don't see him involved with the droids very often (it's fine balance wise though it could be pretty brutal with some versions of destroyer droids people are posting).

Force lightning is entirely overpowered right now, he can stun lock any figure (well, any figure that cares about stun) without even spending his attack. Making it a double action is probably the best solution.

Dark resolve needs to declare when it happens ("at the start of your activation" most likely). It also has the problem that it almost never triggers as the game is set up currently (and Diala doesn't currently count as a force user in the campaign).

Whoops! Forgot the "when you activate" part on Dark resolve. Yes, I see what you mean about Force Lightning, I'll change it.

My idea is that Dooku would be a separatist and a different faction from Imperials. They would be against the Jedi order so therefore, more chance of dark resolve happening :)

EDIT. I wanted Force Lightning to be similar to Vader's Force choke, hence why I don't want to class it as an attack.
