Emperor command card

By naitsirk, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

How do you think this card will be?

My thoughs are the card improves his "emperor" rule. Perhaps extending the radious to "choose another figure in the game" instead in 4 spaces and adding some extra attack bonus (a surge or damage).

Another option i though is allowing him to choose more than 1 figure.

The no restriction about friendly and hostile figure here makes me think that the command card can use this, perhaps gaining points while attacking one of your guys with an enemy model.

Come on let's speculate!

Maybe card that gives him ability to chose target for attack resulting from 'emperor' ability? So he can really order enemy figure to attack one of his/her friends?

"Play after using Force Lightening on Jedi Luke. If Darth Vader is on the map, deal one damage and three strain to him and place his figure adjacent to the Emperor. Then, the Emperor falls down a shaft and is defeated (or lives on in clone bodies, depending on shifting canon)."

Force Storm -or- Sith Mastermind: "->->: You may push each figure on the map (yours and your opponent's) up to 1 space. Assign a condition of your choice to each figure in play. You become stunned."

Whoa...

"All your figures are stunned. All my figures are focused."

Seems a little... overpowered.

So basically... ->-> You instantly gain 40 vps?

He basically has built in lure of the dark side and force lightning so I can see his card giving one of those a boost.

"Unlimited Power" ->you may use force lightning twice during your activation.

I wouldn't want the card to duplicate Lure of the Dark side or his force lightning or anything, I'd want it to be something different and cool. Not necessarily super powerful, because he already is really good.

Maybe something like BT-1 where you play it down on your deployment card and he can lose "Emperor" or "Tempt" and gain 3 speed. Something to change him from a plodding caster to a great melee fighter if the situation warrants. Isn't he, after all, one of the top-3 lightsaber fighters in the Star Wars universe?

Perhaps he was... Until he is an old man with a friedface.

Like the idea of improve or change him with a command.

Yeah...given the mini and the picture, I see him as more of a sith force user as opposed to a melee fighter.

I'd expect Yoda to have minimal melee power also.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Yoda is a force ghost and just hands out extra dice to force users. "Force users within 4 spaces of yoda roll an additional blue die when attacking and making attribute tests."

I would love for Palpatine's named Command card to do a flying wraith charge like he does in movies and videogames:

  • Cost: 0 - Move up to 5 spaces
  • Cost: 2 - Move up to 5 spaces. When you enter a space containing a figure, that figure suffers 1 STRAIN and gains 1 DMG POWER TOKEN.

That freaked me out so much the first time I saw it in Battlefront.

I've owned Battlefront since launch - and that Emperor spooky "whirrrrr" noise STILL freaks me out when I hear it. :D

There will be a command card that allow you to move 5 spaces or similar "force jump", so i think the emperor unique command card must be something more special.
