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

The heck? This never happens before. Let me correct that.

Another thing you could consider is the Lore specialty, which would give you knowledge of Earthpower but not the ability to use it directly.

Sounds like a job for Nathan!

Yeah thats right...@Iron since the ability to remove Curses like Forest Curse and Earthpower blessing is in Level 5, in witch level I can "give" a pokemon the Ground-type like the old man? Is in the level 5 too since the ability to remove Curses is the same to give something like that, or in highter levels?

No, that would be a truly superhuman ability. It cannot be purchased with any amount of XP. Anytime the rulebook says something like "Cannot be removed without a medium's help" or mentions the need for some kind of supernatural help, that is what the Earthpower specialty is explicitly good for. As you've guessed, there is the potential for other uses down the line. It's not mandatory though.

Another thing you could consider is the Lore specialty, which would give you knowledge of Earthpower but not the ability to use it directly.

So its not that much useful that Earthpower I think. I will focus in other stats like perform or even stealth (since Confuse Ray works with Stealth). I will think about that Iron.

Stealth is awesome in any RPG.

Valder will not be joining Little Cup.
 I don't think Theo would like to be considered "little anyway" :P

Thanks for letting us know!~ Means Shiva is indeed the only person of the group who will register and participate. I'm still finding is rather suprising, but you all gave your respective reasons, I'm personally looking forward to the event and how far I'll get with my Team.

Yes, he did.  And that had been building since Arrowroot.  Before that, even, but Arrowroot was where it started becoming a problem for him.  There were warning signs.  And Heart only compounded the problem instead of solving it.

Context is important here, Spirit.  That battle was just the last straw before Nathan cracked.  He KNEW an Extreme Speed from Raphael would likely end that battle, that he couldn't really contribute to it any more at all, and that he probably wouldn't get attacked if he didn't fight back.

His contributions to that journey to the cave were minimal in his view, consisting of Lucky Chant and putting together the puzzle pieces everyone else had dug up.  Nothing super meaningful for someone who usually is directly involved in the action himself.

But be confident enough to simple bring the pokemon back, fortreit the battle when some trainer could ambush us again and not make sure another bad thing happens its the most stupid decision someone can do. EVEN if the battle was almost over, let guard off like that its not the most wise decision to make. That and Nathan reaction after the battle like that didnt help either. Any respect Heart would have for Nathan go sink in the same moment. To Heart, Nathan dont have any moral to boss around anyone: To Ventus, Shiva, Valder or Heart.

I actually agree to him not really being in the state to...'boss others around' sounds harsh, let us say 'tell others what to do' instead. We can all think for ourselves and make our own decision as long as they don't cause heavy issues between us. Friendly advice or hints into a right direction are something different.

Please let us stop with that now and go back to that dinner to finish the current in-game Day instead, that's more fun than discussing and reasoning.

[Spiritmon]

I agree.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I agree.

Hooray!~ So, will you continue the scene then? It's mostly yours and your call, so...
