KOTOR Miniatures Preview - Darth Sion

    The next KOTOR Miniature from Wizards of the Coast that's up for a preview is the "Lord of Pain" from the dark side, Darth Sion.

Few Sith Lords hold mastery over pain or hatred like Darth Sion, Lord of Pain. His visage is terrible to behold: a decomposing body held together by dark side energies channeled by Sion himself, sustaining his life through the Force, powered by anger and hatred. He is in eternal pain but endures it as a small price for apparent immortality. However, in the end, despite his anger, hatred, and manipulation of dark side energy, the Lord of Pain could not defeat the Jedi Exile.

In the Star Wars Miniatures Game, Darth Sion is powerful and resilient. He is a decent melee combatant with Double Attack and a +11 Attack score. His Defense score is a bit low for a character of his cost, but Lightsaber Duelist bolsters him significantly against lightsaber-wielding opponents. His cost is high, but with reason: Darth Sion's most significant ability is Eternal Hatred. When defeated, Sion may spend 2 Force to attempt to return to life -- with full Hit Points -- on a save of 6. And he can attempt this twice (if the first is successful), as long as he retains enough Force for each attempt. When it works, this is like bringing one 110-hit point character to a skirmish initially, then gaining one or two more in the form of reinforcements while the opposing squad gets weaker and weaker over the course of the battle.
