Looks great and makes him a powerhouse.
However, I don't like his Leader ability being solely there to counter Grand Master Yoda. Canonically, it shouldn't be the case. Other than this, solid.

That was not my idea when I designed it. During the Prequels, Sidious was constantly setting things up. Manipulating everything to better his position. At the start he wasn't that powerful but near the end he was unstoppable. That was my main thought when designing his lead. As the battle goes on his Offence, Potency and Speed keeps increasing in addition to his Health and Protection increasing (trough his unique) and his opponents offence decreasing. Once I was done thou I realized 3 things:
1: This lead does absolutely nothing at the start of battle.
2: No matter how high your potency or how low the opponents Tenacity, if they have Tenacity Up, they will resist.
3: no matter how high your damage, if they have Foresight they won't take any damage.
In other words, these buffs where ridiculously easy counters to his lead. And considering how in control he was during the prequels, that just didn't feel right. It should be harder to slow the stacks from his lead down or to resist debuffs from him. So I added the can't gain to the lead because of those points. Grand Master Yoda was never considered during the designing of his lead. I didn't even realize how hard of a counter it was until you brought it up.
So yeah. That was not the intent. Still, I personally have no problems with this. It actually makes me like it even more. Still nice you liked everything else thou.
