I need help with the wording and balance of my custom cards.

By Nero Timi, in X-Wing

I just finished reading the book "Lost Stars" by Claudia Gray and wanted to find out if any of the pilots from the book are in the game. When I went looking I immediately found Thane Kyrell, but as an ARC-170 pilot rather than an X-Wing pilot. When I couldn't find any of the other pilots I chose to make my own cards. I quickly found that Strange Eons was the most highly suggested tool to create X-Wing cards, whenever I tried to download it, however, it would completely stop. I eventually stumbled upon http://cardcreator.atelierdufaucon.com/, a french website that I could only get to work properly on my phone for some reason and I finally managed to create my cards (unfortunately with an ugly watermark).

Now I just need help with balancing them and properly wording their abilities. I present to you Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree.

Thane's ability reads "After obtaining a stress token, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action."

Ciena's ability reads " After performing a <evade symbol> action you may assign one <evade symbol> token to any stressed friendly ship at range one."

Again, none of the artwork is mine.

You can inspect element the watermark out.

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

Thane's ability conflicts with the basic rules (no actions while stressed), not sure if we have any others that circumvent it.

May have to word his as "Immediately before you receive a stress token, you may perform a boost or barrel roll action."

As for Ciena Ree, the only thing I'd say is, why a Tie Fighter and not an Interceptor? She's even next to her ship in the artwork :P But her ability is cool.

Smart. Thank you. I never paid much attention to the artwork. I will definitely put Ciena in an interceptor, and your wording for Thane's ability makes sense as well.
