You think Ibtisam will be able to re-roll every time his dice are rolled, or is it going to be a one time deal? Saying there's stress involved of course...Seems like you can re-roll one every time he's attacked and again while attacking.

The ability will apply to any roll while she has a stress.

Ibtisam + expose + jans ors + ability + advance proton topedo = death

I would personally avoid expose with her. Her ability counts for defense as well so dropping her to zero dice in it would sting. Now PTL of Elusivness, those would be great since they'd set off her ability when used.

Elusive would be hilariously appropriate, its specifically tailors to her ability in the defensive round. If you don't take any shots you don't need to bother stressing but if your opponent gets a decent shot in you elusive for a stress to force a re rolled die, and now you have a stress token to get your own reroll on the evade dice. Only downside is you need to sit with the stress through your movement if you want to get an attack reroll.

I think we will see her with a couple different builds focussing on either offence with PTL and a variety of appropriate upgrades, or on defence with Elusiveness and a variety of different upgrades.

I think she will be one of the winners of wave 3 depending on her dial. Too bad you can't put an R2 on her though.

I had a feeling "he" was a "she"...

And a Mon Cal at that.

Something fishy is going on here...

I am really excited about this one. As usual though, the effectiveness of any strategy with any of these unreleased ships still hinges on what that maneuver dial looks like. If she only has a couple green maneuvers, it may be very tough to PTL every round or it may be way to easy for your opponent to figure out where you will likely be moving on your next turn.

I wonder if we will get any actual info on the dials before the ships show up in my mailbox.

If its anything like Star Wars Galaxies, it will be able to spin around like crazy and lay down heavy firepower, but can't outmaneuver for $&@!...

Anyway, sounds like there's no reason not to give her PTL or any other stress-giving abilities.
