So I have an idea on a user card. I've never made one before so I'm not sure about costs and stuff. Thinking of using it for an HotAC campaign or something. Would it be better as an ept or as a unique pilot ability? Who would you put it on?? I also don't have a title for the card either.

You may only have one focus/evade token assigned to your ship at a time. You may spend a focus token as an evade token or an evade token as a focus token.

Sorry if someone has already posted this idea before.

What do you guys think??

Ehhhh, I'd say it probably doesn't need the limitation of only one token at a time. EPT would make sense.

"You may spend focus tokens to gain the effect of evade tokens and vice versa. Once per round when you gain a focus token, gain an evade token, or vice versa.

Probably worth 4 points, with that setup, as an EPT. Essentially similar to Comm Relay and PTL with different upsides and downsides.

(Phrased such that you only change the function of the token when you spend it to avoid potential synergy with Juke)

Well, if it's an elite, you're not gonna take it with Juke unless you're an A-wing, and they only have 2 attack dice anyway. If it's a pilot ability, that's only one ship that is going to be using it with Juke, so I hardly think that's too powerful.

I actually like the wording of "spend as an evade token" because it also works with Squad Leader. While it does make it easier to trigger that card, it would presumably cost 1 or 2 points, making it quite an investment if you had a couple Squad Leader supporters. Just look at Weapons Guidance. It basically has a similar effect, except on offense. I would guess this new ability would also cost 2 points.

It's actually not far from being a Sensor Cluster. At the point that you can spend a Focus token as an Evade token, there's no reason to ever take an Evade token barring synergy effects like Juke.

So, I would look at a way to get a Tech upgrade in HotAC. If you're not playing with T-70 X-Wings, perhaps you could allow an Astromech or Modification that would grant you a tech slot.

With that in mind, a card that let you treat focus as evade and evade as focus would probably be worth 3 points, as it is better than Sensor Cluster but only when you're including other effects on top of it.

I used the word "spend" to be specific meaning someone like inquisitor couldn't use his title to fire off prockets
