People thinking jedi should get the free use abilities like Evade/Parry is a far cry from any one suggesting they be made invincible.
I wouldn't say it is all that far of a cry.
Jedi already have higher HP and higher defense than non-jedi minis (which is probably due more to their "Melee" special ability than Jedi being somewhere in the name).
However, if a free, unlimited 50% free damage that can be rerolled by force points, effectively you've quadrupled a character's hp.
To take this to its extreme, imagine Bane or Vader, JH with evade or parry. In this extreme, impossible to publish examble, Bane would have the equivelent of 1600 hp given enough force in many situations.
I don't want to see that. EVER.
The only way that evade or parry could be fair on a Jedi is to knock the HP and def down so much that they dont' feel like jedi at all.
I also like the comments about the RPG game. I don't have experiece regarding how the game is balanced, but that makes a lot of sense.
Evade, and to a lesser extent, Parry just don't feel Jedi-like. While it isn't impossible to imagine, having boundaries makes jedi better in my mind.
