The title is tongue-in-cheek, but tonight I really got my 1 point's worth out of Salacious B. Crumb.

I was playing against a friend on One Man's Trash. I was running a mercenary hunter list, while my opponent had a Rebel list with Luke2 and a bunch of mid-cost stuff.

Luke made the mistake of diving hard at my front line, catching me off guard with Urgency to get in for a first-round attack that killed a Trandoshan. On round 2 Bossk used the Element of Surprise to catch Luke defenseless and used the right Tools for the Job to try to Assassinate him. It came up short, but 11 damage still got through. Luke then killed Vinto, but it took two attacks, leaving Luke in position for reprisals. One of my generics got 4 more damage on him, and after I activated Jabba and started moving Crumb toward Luke, my opponent realized what was going to happen just a moment too late.

"Wait, is he going to scratch Luke?"

I know this stuff isn't nearly as funny to hear or read about as it is to see it in a game, but it was great.

I lost a game to him once. Had Vinto at 2 HP. He moved through me and scratched me, which gave him Vinto and put him over 40 VP.

He's a one point, six health figure that the enemy will likely never get points for defeating (maybe one - but they have to have jabba too). And he can sneak in there and get off a grisly contest some movement shenanigans and he can be deadly.

I know if I see him running around I'm thinking of how he can ruin my day for sure

It's the sleeper card of the set for sure.

I haven't had much success with him, mainly because it's taken me so long to get him into a position to do damage. I'll have to try him out again, but usually including him is at the expense of devious scheme, and that's hard for me to part with.

However, him winning you games is awesome!

This card confuses me. Is he an attachment, does he separate from his "host" model?

Does he just activate at the same time from the same square as the "host" model?

Check out the companion rules in the F.A.Q./updated rules reference/bespin rules (any one will do basically), and read the indentured jester card again and it will make sense. You can also google the salacious crumb card istelf from jabba's realm just to see his stats/abilities

Companions are figures with some limitations. Companions are represented by tokens. Companions activate as specified by the abilities that are related to how they are put into play.

The Indentured Jester Skirmish Upgrade tells how Salacious is put into play and how he activates.

(Naturally the generic Companion rules are also in the Jabba's Realm rulebook.)

I'm hesitant to call him 'overpowered' at this point.

But he certainly seems like the most efficient 1pt you can spend in the entire game by a mile.

He also single-handedly hard counters Zillo shenanigans.
