RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Lord Windos - 01-22-2018

Quick update for Dragonstrike about the Results of Clair Arendse Battle, since I felt adding it in the Game Thread would have ruin the mood of it all.

-Reiner and all the Pokémon that battled Clair's Pokémon Gain 20 XP. + 5 XP Bonus for Reiner generally great roleplaying the caring aspects of his character, and to represent how much he's learned/struggled in that one battle alone.

-Reiner gains 2 Willpoints from this event, one from the Tea auto-recovering Effects from last night kicking in, and one for surviving that struggle against Clair.

-All of Clair's Pokémon, naturally. However, the Pokeballs are ID Locked (Clair was paranoid you'd tried to steal them from her at some point) and refuse to give you anymore information on the Pokémon within them besides what you know. Not that being able to summon them would help, since they all have +6 Disobedience towards Reiner for killing their beloved master/'sacrificing her' to Giratina. The Merchant could break them open for you, but do you REALLY want to summon a murderously angry Dragon on you?

-Due to the trauma he received from invariably killing his cousin and the knowledge that even bringing her back to life via Giratina won't entirely restore things, Reiner can no longer use Zen State until further notice. Giratina, however, granted Reiner a sort of 'deadened calm/reassurance' effect that will keep him at an even keel for the rest of the day while he processes things.

-If he checks his Inventory, he'll notice two things: That a small section of the interior cloth has been converted into a piece of Reaper's Cloth (Can be cut free without damaging inventory, and that his Flat Cap has something......strange about it.

-He has obviously gain the Megido's Revelation, thought its effects will not take hold until he equips it.

-This isn't something he's earned from the battle, but I thought I'd let you know about it now: Reiner can use the Face Camo to change his appearance to a different individual to escape the crime scene without drawing the attention of Mitchel or the Police. Their will still be consequences for the ruckus you caused, but with the prep you have already done, it should be minimized. On a tragic note, if Reiner had just decided to use the Face Camo to disguise himself, Clair wouldn't have been able to track him down for who knows how long. Too little too late by now....


RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 01-22-2018

Good point on the face camo.  I'll edit that in in a moment.  But as far as using it to hide from Clair would have gone...well, I DID say he wasn't going to hide from her.

Welp...yeah, Reiner's really unbalanced right now, that's for sure...but the alternative was...far uglier.  And would have probably made Giratina angry.  We just narrowly avoided one dragon destroying Celadon just to get at Reiner for one reason or another, so...

I figured that enough shit was going on right now that I didn't need to tack on a Mitchel encounter to make it any worse. If Reiner wants, he can use the Face Camo (Or not, since the Police don't know your identity, but hey, added safety net!) to explore town and continue doing Encounters instead of heading to the A.V. , but that is your/his choice entirely.

Yeap, if He How Shall Not Be Named countdown had finished, she would have used Apotheosis to turn into a.......*Rolls* .......Zekrom with between 70/100 to 90/120 HP. That would have been terrible, and most likely warrented summoning the Reaper to clean up after this mess. Giratina would also have been pissed off enough to cut all ties with you, to my knowledge. If Reiner had succumbed to despair without Clair, she would have also likely have become despondant and frustrate/angry, and urged her Head Priestess to make haste to her love's side.....

Hmmm...let me edit where Reiner's going real quick, then.  Still have to talk with Erika and his superiors about some things, after all...then he can head back to the AV.

Ew.  Ew ew ew.  Glad that Zekrom mess was avoided, at least.

And that's why I negotiated with Giratina on Reiner's behalf.  He would have been...less than pleased to see the Queen or her servant if they just flat out said they couldn't do anything to help Clair.  And that would have been...disastrous, to say the least.

Unnatural or not, Clair should not die here.


RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 01-23-2018

I just remembered that the effects of the dragon rations are a thing.  Yang and Kingdra get another 10 exp from that.  Yay!

But does Arbok get 10 more as well?


RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Lord Windos - 01-23-2018

Yes , they all get the bonus XP.


RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Dragonstrike - 01-25-2018

Hmmm...what kind of Surprises could I get Kingdra for 58 or less exp?  Only moves she has left to learn in her level up movepool are Agility and Twister, which aren't particularly important moves for her.

Mew's also got 45 exp to burn on...something, since she already knows ALL of her level up moves.  Probably unlocks more moves for her to use or increases her stats a little at a time, right?

Alright, let me give you a rough Surprise Cost for all the neat things you can get with enough time, XP and patience with the Dice (If they don't kill you before then, that is!)


With  between 25-45 XP, you can buy Kingdra another point of HP or start investing in their Specialties if you wished, between 50-100 XP is were we venture into Attribute bonuses, Skill Bonuses, and low to middle tier EX or Delta Moves, , 100-200 XP is more esoteric than before , such as high tier EX/Delta Moves, holding multiple Items or having unique interactions with them, Weakness Reductions/SE,QE, and/or STAB amplifications, multiple Abilities or further modified to be even more effective/less bad , etc.

Above + 200 XP is where we get to really unique or gamebreaking/changing Suprises, such as Support Move Amplifications, Attack Move Amplification/Specialization (Specific to Broad typing/sub category; more general, more XP cost), Pokémon gaining Typing or Abilities that would be normally impossible for its species bar unusual/specific circumstances, Actions Modification, Improved Initiative , Pseudo Legendary Power/Presence/Influence/Dominion (Ranges with XP, and believe you me that it costs a loooooooooooooooooooooooooot) , Adding Resistences and Immunities to a target (Subjected to variable XP Cost depending on what you are looking for, and which Pokémon is getting it), Fully Human Comprehension and Interactions without Sacrificing their abilities to uses moves or Divine intervention (Felicia being a weird exception due to Assist), Fainting and Death Resistance, and so on and so forth.

There will an options to take a downside/many downsides that reduces the cost of a Surprise, like in the case with Poe and Clair's Gyarados, but the severity of the cost scales steeply with the usefulness of what you are trying to gain. Making Suprises very specific or only work in specific circumstances also lowers the costs. Certain Items like Vitamens or Rare/Ultra Rare Items can also reduce the cost of or confer Surprises for free.

Basically, more basic and less creative designs that won't do much more than building what is present in the corebook and base games cost less, while the highly unique and broken stuff costs oodles. Any ideas you want for a specific surprise can also be addressed to me in private, and we'll come to an agreed upon price.
