My copy just showed up, and I gotta tell you guys, FFG really outdid themselves this time.
Only one signature ability for Clone Soldiers and Jedi, but they're not too shabby. The Deathwatch Spec is awesome, and the new weapon mods/crystals are amazing.
Still at my summer camp presently, but my copy is waiting for me when I get home. Very excited!
ok, spill the beans, whats in the deathwatch spec?

There's a spoiler thread over on the AoR page.
Glad you guys like it
. The Master spec was one of my favourites, although the Nightsister is not too shabby, either!
Interestingly, Jedi General has two dark side talents. Jedi really weren't meant to be soldiers.

I thought that was very appropriate.

Are there stats for any named Characters? Like RotS had Obi-Wan, Padme, Dooku, etc.

A few show up ,those being Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker for the Jedi, Admiral Trench for the CIS, Aurra Sing and Cade Bane for Criminals, and finally Maul, Savage Oppress, and Mother Talzin for Dark Side.
Maul's stat block is largely similar to his stats in Allies & Adversaries, with the only changes being his Hawkbat Swoop doesn't say Lightsaber (Agility) but just Lightsaber, and his lightsaber exchanging the extra rank of Breach for a rank of Defensive as well as having possession of the Darksaber.

That's great.
How does Talzin stack up aginst someone like Palpatine?

Not done a full comparison, but in a straight-up fight Talzin's gonna get smoked. She's got some tricks up her sleeves, but nothing that's going to stack up to what Palps brings to the table.
Yay! Got my copy yesterday evening!

Can you tree the deathwatch and give the lowdown on the crystal/mods and any drawbacks. Also the lowdown on any semi concealable armor that could have 3 hp.

Since I was a contributor, I don't feel comfortable spoiling stuff. However! There's a great spoiler thea's on the Age of Rebellion board!

The CotR spoiler thread as a link to a reddit thread where someone posted imgur links to the various specs. The DW spec is pretty burly, especially if you've got a jetpack, and leans very much towards making use of the jetpack to dart about and a pair of blaster pistols in hand. It'd pair well with Hired Gun's Enforcer or Mercenary Captain, perhaps Marauder for when you really need to get in close, even if it doesn't offer a Hired Gun much in the way of expanded career skills.
The only new crystal is the Cristophisis crystal, which starts at Damage 7, Crit 3, Breach 1, Sunder 1 and costs 11K credits, and can be modded for an extra rank of Breach, a rank of Knockdown, reduced crit (down to crit 1), and 3 damage mods.

Are there any draw backs like it shorts out with a despair or 3 threat?

Nope. It's effectively an Ilum crystal with slightly different starting stats that exchanges Vicious for Knockdown.

Breach 2 is impressive though (totally overkill against most opponents but useful against small vehicles)
Don't suppose anyone from the UK has sight of this?
And it is "Out of Stock" already???? So they had only contributors' copies printed? This is beyond weird... (or I am, maybe?)

Out of stock at FFG. Because they also send to distributers and shipped out ALL of their preorders. It just means their stock is sold out. So they go liok at any other retailer
That's what I hope, let's see if some copies make it to the Old World this time (I have a pre-order sitting at a small online shop, so hopefully I get my copy).
I wasn't expecting this to be out in a store here I Sweden but it sure was a welcoming surprise.
The classes feel more advanced and I'm not sure if these are okay for an early-era of the clone wars.
I don't remember which page it was but they had one piece of artwork that looked really bad/lazy. The one with an AT-TE and the three stock footages of clone troopers near it's legs. I felt that one was very jarring.

Use rise of separatists for early clone wars
