Squad Leader Archive

I've worked up a first version of my Squad Leader Build. I think it's fair, even-handed, not OVERLY powerful. But it does satisfy the official definition of the Squad Leader, right out of the SWG manual. "Squad Leader: A soldier whose very presence in a group provides benefits to all group members."

Certain Skills can only be cast in camp (all of the active skills in Leadership). Others can only be cast once per hour, for obvious reasons. There are also a few skills where I say something will be X % effective and those are certainly open for change and revision as balance demands. The values I put down are obviously untested, but I feel that they are reasonable. I'd love some feedback.

Grrrrrrr.

Surgical Strikes III
Group Speed + 10

Should read:

Surgical Strikes III
Group Attack Speed + 10

nice

/raisespirits is something an entertainer should have not a squad leader

and /sacrifice sounds like a good idea but how can you justify it from a "realism"/"rollplaying" point of view????

otherwise seems fair and balanced
