I’m tired but can’t really sleep. So, to pass the time, I think I’ll start making up some keywords. I may or may not use any of these.

Savage (For each wound on this character, it is damage +1.)

- A variant on the enduring theme, fit more for creatures like the Rancor.
nice and simple keep it

Enclosed (A character bearing this card may not take wounds during the crossfire phase)

- A keyword for vehicles that transfer to characters.
nah not that cool.

Duelist (Unless this character is skirmishing a duelist, the opponent may not play skirmish events during this character’s skirmish.)

- I figure someone with professional training in combat (Jedi, Sith) will have an easier time killing ’lesser’ characters.
fine by me keep it

Swift (At the beginning of the assignment phase, suspend the phase and start an assignment and skirmish phase against this character and an opponent’s character. When that skirmish resolves, resume the suspended phase.)

- Okay, yeah, really complicated. Basically, the character moves so fast he can slice through an extra dude. And I know that it would allow a dark side minion to assign to the apprentice (and if I really cared all that much I’d include that restriction somewhere).
to complicated ditch it

One for the Dark Side:
Shroud X (At the start of this minion’s skirmish, you may remove [X]. The opposing companion’s strength must be X more than this minion’s strength in order for the Alliance player to win the skirmish.)

- It took me a while to get that one worded correctly (well, I think it’s worded correctly now). I really like this mechanic, as it portrays how blinded the Jedi became as Palpatine’s power grew.
fine by me

One for the Light Side:
Apparition (While this companion is in the dead pile, his or her game text is still active. He or she may not exert or take wounds.)

- I haven’t thought that one through at all. It just came to me.
interesting your choice on thsi one

How do you like these? Which ones do you think should make the cut?
