Wow! thats cool.

Some really interesting ideas there, man. And I mean some really cool ones. Couple problems I see too though.



I think this is pretty broken dude. That would give him a 24 Defense, with both Parrty/Lightsaber Block and Evade/Lightsaber Deflect. I think gaining the attack, and maybe +2 defense alone is probably enough.

I do like the Empathy Bond though. That one is a sweet idea.



Cool idea! Could even just make the shield generator have a Speed 6 (or more if you want), and that whatever character it is adjacent to gets to have Shields 2 as long as they are adjacent. Then make it so that if a character is defeated while adjacent to the Personal Shield, then the Shield is automatically defeated.




Wow.....that is such cool ideas. Force Drain seems a bit beastly though. Perhaps if it was just 10 damage per FP stolen. Especially since Nihilus would be getting the points back anyways (so he would potentially be doing 40 dmg and stealing 4 fps, and only having to 'replace turn', since he'd be gaining those 4 FPs back). Also, Drain Life 40 should be 4 FPs too I think (in line with Force Grip 40 being 4 FPs). Otherwise, I LOVE this version of Nihilus. It would be cool to see WotC do something like this down the road.



7 pts to gain Twin, Throw, 1 pt of defense? Not bad. I like.



I LOVE the Range Expertise ability. Cool idea. Not sure if a 12 pt increase over the Supercommando is enough to offset all the extras this guy gets. Probably pretty close though. A +16 attack for 40 dmg against a non-adjacent enemy is pretty cool though.



I really like this guy too. I am assuming with Savage Tamer that you gain control of the Savage piece for the rest of the skirmish? Like a reverse of Betrayal? Neat idea. Could also do it like Dominate, but with a Save 16, so that a target Savage piece gets an immediate attack/turn or something. Very cool though.

Overall, great job man!

I love Nihilus, he's amazing, for the custom mini I would suggest a reposed Nihilus with Lightning around him.

Mkay i do see several of your points.

For Obi-Wan: I thought only one could go off, not both. I thought you choose whether to evade or Deflect/ Parry or block. If both would be able to work then yes agree, that would be pretty nutz.

PSG: Well i wanted this to be a personal shield generator for one person. However your suggestion gives me an idea. The gungan shield generator from SW Phantom menace could be an interesting mini.

Nihilus: Well i wanted to express his power, the current Nihilus is a poor excuss of Nihilus, so i made this one. Nihilus was so powerful he drained an entire world with a word. Thus force drain is extreamly powerful. As for Drain life, yeah... I just wanted him to have a cheap way to get life back fast. Hmm mabye comming up with a different ability that does the same thing just for Nihilus.

JD: I know i enjoyed thinking this one up. An supped up old republic version of JWM, who excels in melee combat. Gets murdered by range without deflect, a way to offset his amazing melee potential.

RCE: There are plenty of figures who are undercosted. Tis time the good o'l Mandos got one. XD

VVBM: woops that should say untill the rest of the skirmish, gona go edit that now.

Thx for the feedback, can you however respond to me question about evade/deflect, parry/block.

The combination of Evade and Deflect is currently available with Luke, Hero of Yavin and Wedge Antilles. I'm pretty sure you can use both. You might alter the Padawan Synergy such that Obi-Wan could use Qui-Gon's Force Points, or that he gets Renewal or something.



That's cool, and I understand where you're going. But there's a difference between powerful, and broken. 40 damage for 2 Force Points is approaching broken, I think, especially when there is no way for an opponent to avoid that damage, AND it is useable even after Nihilus attacks. You're basically allowing Nihilus to kill a JWM in one round (that's assuming the JWM blocks one of the three attacks, or alternatively, Nihilus uses Drain Life 2 rounds in a row and then adds one attack in there). Heh...I just now noticed that he also has Jedi Hunter and Sith Rage for 40 damage attacks. Ouch. You realize he can do 160 damage to a Jedi in one turn then, right? Perhaps if you make Drain Life a 'replaces attacks' ability, then it might be OK.

Something to think about is to pair this Nihilus up against 3 JWMs. It should be a relatively even match for the number of points you've given him.



Hahahaha, too true. Like I said, I like it.

Hmmm well i think i probaly should change Obi-Wan's ability a wee bit then. OOO that just gave me a great idea.... Im gona go edit main post after this post.

As or Nihilus, agreed, i'm suprised drain life wasn't a replace attack ability when WOTC made the ability. However i dont think i should reword an already made ability. I'll work on it.

EDIT:
Well before i edited the Drain Life ability, Nihilus could stomp JWM's easy, depending on initiative. Now.... He probaly still could, be more of a close match though.

Ooh, one more thing, on Nihilus, how do you intend for the interaction between Force Starvation and Force Draining to work? Both are 'when this character activates' abilities. I might combine them into one thing that says "When this character activates if it has 0 Force Points, this character takes 40 damage. If it has any number of Force Points greater than 0, this character loses 3 Force Points instead." That way it's a singular ability.

Hmmm good point. However cant the owner of the mini choose which effect goes off first?

Hmm, I like like these stats. They look pretty solid. Personal shield and Nihilus are crazy.

Nihilus's force powers are good, but I don't think he should have jedi hunter and triple, since Nihilus wasn't really that great of a fighter in Kotor 2, actually he was a really easy boss. But I like the force powers though.

This makes a lot of sense, but I agree that Nihilus was bad-ass (in theory) and needs to be represented for his off screen antics from Kotor 2. I wish he had been a harder boss since he looks so cool!

You have a point, ill keep Jedi Hunter, but triple is probaly to much, he would by far outshine even Bane in damage if he kept triple. So I changed Nihilus up again, and I think i now have a pretty good Version of him. However, he keeps Jedi Hunter for a Reason. Nihilus Hunted down Jedi to feed on them, so it would make sense that he had it.
