My only concern is that it is a very open-ended thing to balance. You have to make sure, if say 20 characters end up with target lock abilities, that none of them form a broken loop. That's 15k+ combinations that can potentially be formed if you make a 5 man team out of 20 possibilities. There's a lot of potential for brokenness here, which I think will ultimately limit how widely they use target lock.
Well I would think it's safe to say that it would be limited to droids.
Well, I'm not sure about that. Scout Trooper has an ability that inflicted target lock on one enemy, so he's probably keeping that when he'll turn to a playable toon.
I think the way to keep it balanced is to limit the number of toons that benefit from it. It might not all be droids, but if the only release 5 toons that with with TL, it could work.
And let's not forget one thing - the effects of TL depends on the toon staying alive. IG 88 is squishy, while Probe Droid literally blows himself up. So there are ways to control this.
