After successfully introducing twelve cultures in the other thread, I feel confident enough to begin work on a specific culture: Jedi (). I will be designing cards for this culture for a little while, and I’ll let y’all choose the next culture to get this treatment (which, to spread things out, will be a Dark Side culture).

So, vote if you’d like. Here are the three cards written-up already:

∙Obi-Wan Kenobi, Old Ben
Companion ∙ Human
Strength-5
Vitality-3
Resistance-8
Knight. While bearing a lightsaber, Obi-Wan Kenobi is strength +3.
Alliance: If the alliance is at a sanctuary site, play a companion; his or her twilight cost is -1.
Second ability is too powerful, maybe limit to culture or something.

∙Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber
Artifact ∙ Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Lightsaber. Bearer must be Obi-Wan Kenobi (or a destined companion with resistance 7 or more).
During a fierce skirmish, bearer is damage +1.

Groovy

∙Mace Windu, Warrior-general
Companion ∙ Human
Strength-10
Vitality-3
Resistance-7
Knight. Leader. To play, spot 2 knights.
Each time Mace Windu wins a skirmish, you may return an opponent’s condition to his or her hand and each minion he is skirmishing is discarded.
Assignment: Discard an artifact or possession from hand to assign a minion to skirmish Mace Windu.
Extremely powerful, maybe cost of would be better.

(Both Knight and Leader are unloaded keywords.)

In case you haven’t seen those yet, I’ll just post one new card at the moment:

Defensive Parry
Event ∙ Response
Force-skill. If a knight bearing a lightsaber is about to be exerted (or take a wound) during a skirmish, prevent that wound.
"’Anyone can use a blaster or a fusioncutter—but to use a lightsaber well was a mark of someone cut above the ordinary.’"

Needs to cost at least if not .

(Force-skill is also unloaded.)

Defensive Parry is a very simple utility card. Nothing glamorous, but gets the job done. There will be a pretty amount of such cards in the Jedi culture. They, like the Gandalf culture, can do pretty much anything.

Jedi Lightsaber
Possession ∙ Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Lightsaber. Bearer must be a knight.
"’...not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.’’’
fine

Melted Barrier
Event ∙ Maneuver
Exert your knight bearing a lightsaber to reveal a card at random from an opponent’s hand. Exert each minion of the same culture as the revealed card.
"’They are still coming through!’"
maybe or discard a condition of the same culture?

∙Qui-Gon Jinn, Mindful of the Force
Companion ∙ Human
Strength-9
Vitality-3
Resistance-8
Knight. To play, discard a card from hand.
Each time you discard a card from hand, you may reveal the top card of your deck. If you can spot a companion (or minion) of the revealed card’s culture, you may exert Qui-Gon Jinn to draw 3 cards.
"’Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt of that.’"

Defensive Parry
Event ∙ Response
Force-skill. If a knight bearing a lightsaber is about to be exerted (or take a wound) during a skirmish, prevent that wound.
"’Anyone can use a blaster or a fusioncutter—but to use a lightsaber well was a mark of someone cut above the ordinary.’"

Melted Barrier
Event ∙ Maneuver
Exert your knight bearing a lightsaber to reveal a card at random from an opponent’s hand. Exert each minion of the same culture as the revealed card.
"’They are still coming through!’"

∙Qui-Gon Jinn, Mindful of the Force
Companion ∙ Human
Strength-9
Vitality-3
Resistance-8
Knight. To play, discard a card from hand.
Each time you discard a card from hand, you may reveal the top card of your deck. If you can spot a companion (or minion) of the revealed card’s culture, you may exert Qui-Gon Jinn to draw 3 cards.
"’Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt of that.’"

∙This Party’s Over
Condition ∙ Support Area
To play, spot 3 knights.
Until the start of the regroup phase, each minion assigned to skirmish a knight is discarded at the end of that skirmish.
"’Sorry to disappoint you, Dooku.’"

if the fellowship is in region 1 or 2 IMSO

Jedi Business
Condition
Bearer must be a knight. Limit 1 per bearer.
Each time you play a force-skill during a skirmish involving bearer, you may remove .
"’Go back to your drinks.’"
fine

Jedi Archives
Event ∙ Alliance
Exert a knight to reveal the top 4 cards of your draw deck. You may take up to 1 card of each revealed culture into hand. Add for each card taken into hand this way.
"’The archives are comprehensive and totally secure, my young Jedi. One thing you may be absolutely sure of: if an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist.’"

Hmm, interesting point, SoP. I’ll put some thought into that. By the way, what does IMSO stand for? In My...Silly...Opinion?
in my spammers opinion

∙Circlet of Saresh
Artifact ∙ Helm
Bearer must be a knight.
Once per skirmish involving bearer, you may play a force-skill from your discard pile, then place it out of play.
Regroup: Exert bearer to heal an exhausted companion.
Worn by the Jedi Guun Han Saresh until his demise at the hands of the terentatek, the Circlet focused Jedi prowess and expanded its owner’s ability to control the Force.
shouldn’t it be remove it from the game...fine


Force Warrior
Companion ∙ Human
Strength-7
Vitality-3
Resistance-7
Knight. To play, exert a knight.
This companion may not bear weapons, and at the start of each of this companion’s skirmishes, you may discard X cards from hand to make her strength +X.
Skirmish: Discard a force-skill from hand to make a minion skirmishing this companion strength -2.
Force warriors fought unarmed, channeling the Force through their bodies to unleash a flurry of precise strikes and blows.
works for me.

Sense
Condition ∙ Support Area
Force-skill. When you play this condition, stack a card from hand here. Each time you play a card with a matching title as a card stacked here, stack that card here before it is discarded.
At the start of the regroup phase, you may exert a knight to reveal the top card of an opponent’s draw deck for each card stacked here.
"’...in these matters, trust your insight we do.’"
fine I guess

Lightsaber Sweep
Event ∙ Skirmish
Make a knight bearing a lightsaber strength +3 and damage +1.
"’You did well, Anakin. He was too dangerous to be kept alive.’"
cut cost to 1...

∙Temple Youngling
Follower

Resistance +1
Aid - add a burden. To play, spot a knight.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may take a condition from your discard pile into hand.
"’An interesting puzzle. Gather around the map reader, younglings. Master Obi-Wan has lost a planet.’"
fine

Knight’s Robes
Possession ∙ Cloak
Resistance +1
Bearer must be a knight.
While you have initiative, cancel the game text of each minion with a twilight cost of 1 that is skirmishing bearer.
"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. / There is no passion; there is serenity."

∙Circlet of Saresh
Artifact ∙ Helm
Bearer must be a knight.

This is an item you can get in KotORII (I believe) that enhances your Force powers. Pretty basic, really.
