Character Bio
2-1B (or Too-Onebee) was a surgical droid that joined the Rebel Alliance as a medic. Too-Onebee arrived at Echo Base on Hoth and was quickly assigned as the head of the base infirmary, leading the FX-7 medical droids. Too-Onebee treated a variety of injuries and patients, including healing Luke Skywalker's wounds from a Wampa attack. Luke Skywalker was so impressed with the droid's skill and expertise that he specifically requested Too-Onebee to treat the wounds he sustained in his battle with Darth Vader on Bespin while recovering aboard the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Redemption.

2-1B
Rebel Alliance

Droid
Unique Hero
Medic
Precise
Medium 5

Life 3
Move 4
Range 1
Attack 0
Defense 3
Points 50

Rebel Field Medic
Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent friendly figure that is not a Droid or Vehicle who follows the Rebel Alliance. Remove up to two wound markers from the chosen figure's Army Card.

Medical Programming
2-1B may never attack an opponent's figure or make leaving engagement attacks.

[Heroscaper Guy]

Okay here's my initial idea:
2-1B
Rebel Alliance

Droid
Unique Hero
Medical
Precise
Medium ?

Life 3?
Move 4
Range 1
Attack 0
Defense 3?
Points 50?

Rebellion Field Medic
Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent friendly non-Droid Hero who follows the Rebel Alliance and you may remove one wound marker from the chosen figure's Army Card.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Before using the Field Medic special power on this card, you may choose an Uncommon Medical Droid with the Field Medic Special Power within 3 clear sight spaces of 2-1B to be 2-1B's Medical Assistant for this turn. Place the chosen Medical Assistant adjacent to 2-1B. If 2-1B chooses a figure adjacent to his Medical Assistant for his Field Medic special power, you may remove up to 2 wounds from the chosen figure's Army Card.

[Yodaking]

I have not thought much about this character but now that he has a thread I'll start. I can see a second power on this card, but the theme of that power relates directly to a figure we have done in the inner sanctum so I'm not sure what the best way to move forward will be. I'll bring it up with the other Jedi.

[Karat]

Class I would make Surgeon and Personality Precise.

I would reword and rename your power like so.

FIELD MEDIC
Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent friendly Hero and remove a wound marker from it's card.

Okay, I agree with you about personality and rewording but not necessarily the class. C3PO has Protocol and R2-D2 has Astromech for their classes. How is Medical any different? I just want to see your reasoning.

[Karat]

Well, for one, he, it's a surgical droid not a medical droid. 3PO's primary function is in regard to protocols and language and R2's primary function is to be a mid-space mechanic, astromech. Whereas 2-1B's primary function is surgery.

I could see making him Uncommon, since there were multiple of these droids.

Another droid, known only as 2-1B, defected from the Galactic Empire to serve the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This droid was responsible for treating the famed Luke Skywalker in 3 ABY following his encounter with a wampa, and again later after his duel with Darth Vader, in which he lost his right hand.

Class as Medical seems fine.

As far as a second power, the only thing I can see from wookieepedia would be to allow him to work with other medical droids.

Maybe something like:

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
After revealing an Order Marker and taking a turn with this 2-1B, if you used the Field Medic special power, you may take a turn with one other medical Droid you control within 3 clear sight spaces of this 2-1B. If that medical Droid uses the Field Medic special power, it must be on the same figure that this 2-1B used Field Medic on.

Wording needs help, but the general gist is there. Basically you take a turn with one 2-1B, and if he used Field Medic on a figure, you can take a turn with another medical Droid, but if that Droid uses Field Medic, he has to use it on the same figure as this 2-1B did.

Hmm... I did see that it was a class of droid, but I figured 2-1B on the list referred to the specific droid (the one that patched up Luke). That could be interesting. Can one of those in charge in HoSS, clarify on which one was meant on the draftable list?

That could be an interesting second power, HS2010. Particularly considering the other droid on the list, FX-7 is another medical droid. I'll have to think about that for a little bit though. Two reliable healed wounds per OM is powerful.

We probably did mean for it to reference the one that repaired Luke, but since there are multiples, we could probably bend a little bit and make it Uncommon. I'll let some of the other HoSS members put their in on that one.

I think having to heal the same figure limits the power a bit. That hero would have to have at least 2 wounds on him instead of 1 now. What point range are you aiming for? Minimal points (< 30pts)? Low (< 50pts)? I could see this guy being Low and then the FX's being Minimal (FXs would only have Field Medic power )

I'd say low is good. (but anywhere from minimal to low can work.) And also, it just occurred to me, should his healing be limited to non-droids? After all droids are electronic.

[Porkins]

Personally, I don't think we meant one way or the other (Unique/Common/Uncommon Hero) when we put it on the list. The design process and the group consensus drive what the design ends up being.
