Small Keyword

By Matt3412, in Star Wars: Legion

What new units do you think will have the small keyword??? 😅 very excited to see an example of one

Salacious B. Crumb anyone hahahaha i don't think so however

It's mentioned in the new Rules Reference

SMALL
(UPGRADE KEYWORD)
Some minis that are added to units by upgrade cards or
counterpart cards are very small, and their presence has a
negligible effect when that unit is targeted by a ranged attack.


While a unit is defending against a ranged attack, each mini
with the small keyword is ignored for the purposes of
determining line of sight, cover, and range.


• When determining line of sight during an attack, ignore
each mini with the small keyword in the defending
unit. Determine line of sight to that unit as normal for all
other effects.
» If a mini with the small keyword is the only mini in
a unit visible to an enemy unit, that unit cannot be
attacked by that enemy unit.
» A mini with the small keyword still suffers wounds as
normal if the attacking unit would otherwise have line of
sight to it during an attack.


• When determining cover during an attack, ignore each mini
with the small keyword in the defending unit.
» For the purposes of determining cover, each mini with
the small keyword is treated as though it were not a
part of the defending unit.


• When determining range to a defending unit during an
attack, ignore each mini with the small keyword in the
defending unit. Measure range to that unit as normal for all
other effects.

» If a mini with the small keyword is the only mini in a
unit that an enemy unit’s weapons would have range to,
that unit cannot be attacked by that enemy unit.


• The small keyword is used only during ranged attacks.

D10 will have it out of the spoiled stuff. Beyond that, any new unit with it would have to be smaller than an astromech droid. Sorry Ewoks, you're too big.

I agree with Ewoks being too big, with leaves us with some very limited options but i think very exciting. cant wait to see the first unit

The BD-1 counterpart to Cal Kestis, of course.

Who has Long Shot, though?

It is a very cool Keyword. I wonder if the Republic AT-RT will have it?

Dunno. That feels more like something Fives, Echo or a commander or operative will have.

Now that would be interesting on their version of the laser cannon

Possibly Echo? As he is armed with the DC-15x if I remember correctly.

If it is for him, I wonder if that means he can fire past range 5?

Possibly, or I'm wrong.

Hopefully some Buzz Droids!

Salacious B. Crumb

DRK-1 Probe Droids attached to Maul the CIS Operative

Mouse droid unit attachments!

Jawas are also roughly the size of an astromech droid, so no.

I’m surprised Yoda hasn’t been brought up yet.

He would be VERY strong with that keyword...

It specifies upgrade/counterpart minis tho

Repair was always specified as an upgrade keyword and now its on R2 so I wouldnt rule anything out for sure

Minis with Small cannot be targeted. It will only ever be on upgrades or counterparts.
