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

No, damage pools can only be reduced to 0 by cover or shield moves or typing.

Although 5 is high enough that I might occasionally handwave that Ventus' Pokemon simply are unaffected by certain very low damage environments. It's a special milestone for sure.

Wild Pokemon can have Vit higher than 5!

Just one, I think, to teleport away and evolve Slowpoke and get back. Talking to Shiva is definitely not a slot. Did you do anything else of note?

Just the evolution so far, followed by the Library.  Trying to figure out what Nathan is going to spend the next part of the day doing, because I want the last slot to be at the gym as he tries to find Dagny.  Meaning he'll likely get to see who that 'special guest' is.  And he might get into a battle while he's there as well, depending on how many encounter slots he's got left after the library.

Idea for Detect: It reduces Chance Dice by the amount of shielding. So Apsis' Bite, for example, would have 5-3 = 2 chance dice to flinch, just from sheer terror. A move with a high burn chance might have lingering heat that persists beyond the shield. But it would be significantly less likely.

Sounds about right to me, mate, so we'll roll for this rule implementation for now!

As for 5 Vitality, given the way Gym Badges works in this game, their is the potential for Ventus to get 6 Vitality, thanks the appropreite pair adding + 1 to an Attribute. He'll surely have Lairon abs at the point in time, hehehe!

That's true - 6 vitality is actually beyond normal human limits.

If that doesn't sound awesome, then I don't know. Bet so much Vitality shines through in his dazzling smiles...

Besides, Windos, I let you decide whether Ventus catches a glimpse on that special Poochyena of hers and possibly cottons on that this must be the Pokemon she refused to speak about at the camp on Route 4. ^^

That's true - 6 vitality is actually beyond normal human limits.

Good thing Ven isn't anywhere near a normal guy, eh?

@PhantomUnderYourDesk: Ven's too focused on his battle with Flareon to spare his attention, but he'll be receptive towards the mythical doggy after the battle, so don't recall him immediantly! Seeing them might actually soften them up towards Orthros, since if this Fae Dog isn't acting so aggressively/sinister, maybe the demon dog will not?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That's true - 6 vitality is actually beyond normal human limits.

That means at Insight of 6, Shiva would be an empath like Blissey and can sense any natural energy around?

...Cool.

[Lord Windos]

@Iron: Quesiton: Even though Dagney is unavailable right now for battle, is there the possibility to gaining the Gym's badge anyway by battling one of her higher ranked Acolytes? Given how metropolitan Stair is, I would imagine that they would delegate that task somewhat to handle the amount of challengers that would naturely go in and get multched!

[Dragonstrike]

I'm personally aiming for 6 Dexterity with Nathan. With high Dex and Fight, your battle strategies can be pretty versatile.

@Iron

Did you miss doing an Insight roll for Kyuu at the end of Round 1? Or do you have to spend the entire round trying to wake up, meaning there's no check the same round you were put to sleep?
