[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

 (Spending 30exp on getting strength to 4 and also using 49 exp to teach Theo Night Slash. I've applied the changes)

O_o

Oh my...now he's REALLY gonna hit like a truck...and has the option to kill things...

Don't forget that the move Crits more often, so Razor Claw + Night Slash = 3 Successes for Crits! How lovely....but not for their enemies! As for his STR and Lethality, those are qualities that any good mercenary for hire should have, really! Ventus and Valder: partner in Dubiuous Acts of Justice! Has a certain ring to it, no? Hehehehehe....

Just stay with Shiva if you want to avoid Authorities, since she's busy enough and actually not interested in seeing The Running. There are rare species, but it's too dangerous for her.

[Lord Windos]

In that case, Ventus will probably just tell everyone he's going to journey ahead by himself, and politely leave at that point. He's unwilling to share space with Authorities unless he ABSOLUTELY has to, and WILL skip the Running to journey on to Stair City itself if their at far more authorities than he like around Ginger. He rather break the group than deal with the feds , honeslty...

No skipping the Running either.  Not when Nathan's insisting everyone sticks together and he has a VERY good reason to be worried for his cousin's safety.  And particularly since Stair City is where Almanac's public HQ is.

He's not going to be with the group regardless of where he's at if their is a high concentration of Cops, Feds, and League Official. He'll just hole up at the Pokémon Center, and just wait until the event is over and everyone is ready to leave. Ventus REALLY doesn't like Authorities, guys...

[Iron]

May be for the best. An explosive interaction between that many League officials could lead to really big trouble for Ventus.

I'll try to think of a thing or two for Ven to do inside the Center, but no promises...it's not exactly an epic setting.

That sounds boring for Ven himself, but very acceptable out-of-chara. Shiva will gladly visit you as often as possible!

I have to go off now @Iron, so the battle has to wait until tomorrow. I should be back home around 6 or 7pm after my time.

Hmmm...there's still a way to make this worse.  Have Super Luck, a high crit move, a crit chance boosting hold item, and the the effects of either Focus Energy, a berry, or a Dire Hit.  That's the guaranteed crits setup in pokerole.  It's not quite as easy to pull off as it is in the games, but it's still pretty fearsome.

Do they all stack?

Abilities stack with items/everything else...I'd have to look at the wording on those other things.

Hmmm...no, not with base rules.  Items not stacking with moves and other items would mess that up.

However, it's the bare minimum to do it.  So, in Windos's campaign, where items and moves do stack...

[Iron]

awww yeah, Monty Haul campaign!!

[Dragonstrike]

It makes me sad that Focus Energy and crits in general received a (rather reasonable) nerf to them.  Means Sniper Kingdra with 100% crit chance shenanigans aren't nearly as potent.

But to be fair, that in-game strategy is pretty silly in concept as it is, regardless of effectiveness.
