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

[Lord Windos]

One good deed amidst a sea of crimes.  It's out of our hands now, though.  The justic system will deal with him as it sees fit.

I'd be more inclined to say the Hauberk is just the hardest Artifact to use, not that it's the least useful.  It's still incredibly powerful.  Swapping initiatives, moving around debuffs...the power to swap thkngs around is as multi faceted as it is useful.  It's only the 'least useful' when we're talking about facing normal, non PD characters.  And even then, it still has uses.

I don't think Cosh will begrudge anyone for using the Hauberk over him.  He got the 5 minutes of fame he was looking for, and people aren't going to soon forget that.  Besides, it isn't like he'll be able to use it again any time soon.

Again, let me rephrase and reiterate, Cosh helped us save the world, in multiple ways, and at all stages since the Skull Ruins. As one lump sum total, I'd say that was a GREAT AND GLORIOUS DEED! instead of just a good one, so if that doesn't make a significant dent in his favor when trial time comes on top of Terra helping out (and probably heing the man the best possible lawyer Poke can buy, if Cosh actually goes to trial instead of it being a private thing), then quite frankly I believe the League to be a particularly unpleasant kind of grateful.

Fair way to put it, though it should be bared in mind that in order to use the Hauberk to maximum effectiveness their needs to be buffs/Conditions present and the user has to dedicate an Action to switching most things around, while the rest of the Artifacts just straight up give the buff to whomever at the start of the Round + The Wielder themselves to use as they see fit. The Hauberk is a force multiple and crowbar - really good at stacking already present power up to hitherunknown levels and leveraging it just right, but somewhat token on its own. Not bad, just not the greatest, like the Shield and/or Sword (Depending on whether you're a Defensive or Offensive oriented mindset).

Hmm......if Nathan said that to Terra, then the man himself would probably ask Cosh himself if that is true (If Shiva can get a talkie with them, then he certainly can, unless they're worried he'd tried to spring him). Since that's not going to happen really, though, I guess the Hauberk is either going to the League's or Heart (Its 3 -2 vote for Heart [No problem with that, btw!] , but the League could just veto it entirely) without further input from him, besides being moderately chagrined if Heart actually gets it.

And you know what?  I'm not going to stress about the verdict too much.  Cosh will get his due, regardless of what we do or say.  The League has the evidence they need.

Ya know what Cosh likes to say: the ends justify the means.  We'll see how that works out for him now that he's finally been arrested.

Well, I could make a use with the Hauberk. If I use the shared Spell as a surprise for Doublade, buffs like Iron Defense, Automatize or even Swords Dance I could share with anyone in the group in cases of difficult battles. Let take a time to wait the Elite Four begin, since we need to get prepared. I still want to beat the Gyms.

With the 80 XP, I gonna give all to Doublade. Time to finally unlock some of the surprises of wielding I wanted so much.

Think ya missed a very important line in Iron's post, @Spiritmon.  That 80 exp has to be split evenly between all of your pokemon that participated in the battle.

Ex: Grid and Princess were the only two pokemon that did anythinv significant in Nathan's party, so they bogh got 40 exp each.

Fine. But I force to split the XP among all of my Pokemon? Because if not, I want to split then 40 XP between Doublade and Trevenant. I want to unlock most of the skills of wield Doublade, and the bonus of +2 in STR and +2 in defense upon wield. And because Trevenant was capable of reduce the damage of Deoxys last Psychic attack, so he deserve some praise too.

All of the ones that participated have to get as equal a share of the exp as possible.  No favoritism.  I couldn't give any exp to Charizard because he didn't really do anything in that final battle.  None of Nathan's other pokemon made an appearance, either, so no exp for them.

Trevenant should be eligible for a share, I think.

Know what? I decided now. 76 XP gonna go to Doublade because I want to unlock his surprise. And each of my Pokemon get 1 XP. These 80 XP is mine, and I decided how I gonna distribute. Doublade had a lot more participate than most of my Pokemon, so he deserves a fat share. 

Besides, you already have a amazing sword. Let me upgrade the swords I already have. At least I will get to a super wield Pokemon.

That's still not how Iron said to distribute it, Spirit.  If you want an uneven distribution, you should talk it over with the GM.

I'm not trying to make this personal or anything.  I'm just following the rules that were presented.

[Spiritmon]

I wait for @Iron input about it.

[Iron]

Yeah it has to be even between Doublade, Gustav, Quetzal, and Trevenant. 20 XP to each. This is important because using more Pokemon in a battle makes the battle easier. However, when you talk to Corporal Wake, he'll have something for Doublade, FYI.
