So I love the saber forms! And I think someone at FFG does too, since they're both talent paths in the RPG line as well as a mentioned on a few cards in Destiny. So since I can't sleep at the moment I'm gonna make a couple cards. I will do a "Training" card and then an event for their signature move, except for Makashi since it already has it's training card. If you like any, let me know! Think some are busted, let me know that too! I'm writing this pretty late so I'll probably touch up the language tomorrow.

Awesome post!

Hoping we get a new lightsaber forum in the next set and can’t wait to see what we get from Fantasy Flight in Destiny as the game progresses. Obi-Wan is my favorite character, so I love the Soresu and Ataru training. Maybe we’ll even get some 3 cost mastery forums also.

Theres also forums 5-7 to look forward too, which are amazing as well.

Hope you post more lightsaber forums in the future.

Thanks! I am obviously excited myself, so have a few more I'll crank out(also realized that Hawk-Bat Swoop is probably already covered ala Atari Strike but whatev's). Since Kaffis did Shien, I'll do Djem So.

Draw Closer

Event, Blue, Neutral

0 Cost

Spot a blue character whose die is showing melee damage, then turn an opponent's die to any side. Resolve one of that character's die showing melee damage.

I really like the Niman training concept, but real talk, I think that's at least a 3-cost upgrade as written. It's effectively got 5 2-sides with no modifiers, and can special chain any of its effects. Sure, none of them are damage, but that's still very strong (especially with 2 Focus and 2 Disrupt). Compare with something like Ghost, which has basically the same special, but is a *support* and thus dramatically slower to activate.

Thanks and that's fair, but at the same time I think you're overlooking the drawbacks it has as is. In comparison to ghost: Ghost does still has damage, this has a blank, it requires a blue character, 2 drops are easier to remove(Force Rend, Vandalize) and there are lots of ways to cheat out vehicles that don't cost any resources(Hera, Ace). So as is I think it'd be fine as a 2 drop, but if we're looking to nerf it a little we could tune down a few of the numbers on the more impactful sides(maybe 1 shield, 1 discard, 1 disrupt).

I'll probably do Jar'Kai next.

I don't think I'm overlooking the drawbacks. Ghost is 4, I'm suggesting 3. 2 Focus is every bit as strong, maybe stronger, than 2 damage, and 2 Discard is likewise really tough to get access to. But it's the 2-Focus Special that's what makes this way too powerful for a 2-drop. Every other special-chaining die lets you turn one of your dice and do another thing, which is fine. The chain doesn't fork, you can still only use each of your natural chaining dice to unlock and resolve one non-chain special. This would let you turn TWO dice to specials and resolve them, which is so much better. Perhaps the best way to illustrate this would be to use Force Focus as a reference point instead of Ghost. This die would blow the 2-cost Force Focus out of the water even if the Special only let you resolve the 2 Focus.

I do think that the compromise you suggest is on the right track, but leaving the 2 Focus leaves its strongest side, and the un-interactive opportunity to use them in a special chain in the same action with powerful special abilities, too. Instead (and to differentiate a little bit from Ghost's Special), I think I'd change it so that the special resolved the other sides' symbols with a value of 1 instead of 2. Then it becomes a special chain die with a low chance (relative to Yoda or Force Focus) of kicking off the chain, but more powerful options when you don't chain it, or versatile options to use at the terminal point on a chain.

Been busy with GQ's and stuff but gonna try this again. Also, after some consideration, I adjusted Niman again. Also Jar'Kai I think is good, but I want feedback on Juyo. Since it's primary attributes are strength and chaos this seems appropriate but I'm concerned about the cost and stats at the moment.
