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

[Lord Windos]

Alrighty, we can do both together then! You want it to be an actual battle when it comes the the Steel Duel, or it to be a Cutscene one?

Honestly, real ones are more exciting, imo, and this is one of the few scenarios where it might make sense to roll some dice (GM willing).  But we can make it a cutscene one in the interest of time so long as we have a fair way to determine who would win.

I prefer a real fight too, but if Iron doesn't feel like rolling out the dice we'll do it the cutscene way. As for how to fairly determine a winner in a cutscene fight, I was honestly thinking of either letting Nathan win or the whole thing ending in a draw, either to show that Nathan has gained true understanding of metal and or that our characters at this point pretty much stonewall each other outside of random luck and particular match ups. Terra's technically stronger than Nathan Stat wise due to the + 1 Bonus his Fight Medal he got from the League and his + 1 VIT for DEOXYS PRIME, but your chara is pretty damn clever enough to play around that.

As for the Arete Fight, if my plan is going to work she sorta has to lose badly against Nathan and his chosen Pokemon, so pick whichever Pokemon you want to beat her with and go ahead writing a post detailing how exactly the mini-Mythic got owned by a regular but highly trainer Pokemon.

Don't forget Terra and Heart training! It's a battle who was delayed for a long time Windos. I think we should discuss the terms of battle. Like if Heart could use defense boost such as Iron Defense. Or use attacks who nasty for the steel element, like Fire Punch, Sword of Justice, etc. If you want to bring a Pokemon along with you to train together.

I do remember you had a Duskull with you. Since we both want to prove our worth to our respective ghosts companions, this could be a double training of Heart and Lancelot vs Terra and Duskull.

What you think mate?

Not a bad idea! That can be done after Nathan's battles against Terra this week, and Dusclops (He Evolved during/after the Deoxys Clone Wars!) will certainly be included in that Fight, as my chara and them still need to work on their bond a bit before he thinks of Evolving them into a Dusknoir.

Rules of the Training Battle (If its Diced/'Real') would probably be no Fainting Pokemon intentionally (They're 'out' at 1 HP), no switching, and no pre-battle buffing beyond triggering Abilities. It'd be either Singles 3v3, 6v6, or Doubles 6V6. How's that sound to you?

Double 6x6 seems more exciting and more epic to me. There is more space for strategy of combat. One little spoiler I can grant you: Rose is a certain choice of mine, since she is Heart signature Pokemon. 

I do like to put certain conditions: No move of OKHO anyone so no Fissure or Guilhotine. We gonna use our skills in this battle. And no use of artefacts, so no helmet from me, Frozen Roar from you, or the Heauberk problably from you too. We gonna use our own blessings we have with us.

Also, I would like to ban the use of Will Points to ignore Pain or force a hit of the dice. And no healing items such as potions or herbs, only moves/held items/abilities who do such thing, such as Slack Off and Leftlovers. I putting that rule because we both have Pokemon capable of heal themselves but requires a action to be done, so thats makes things fair for both of us.

Aside of one hit kill moves, you can use whatever strategy you see fit. These terms is fair to you?

[Spiritmon]

Huh, I think I find why my posts writing get small. Everytime I press the button Reply to quote from anyone post, after writing my post, the writing letter get small. But when I write on separated post without quote someone, the letter normal.

Can someone help me? I try as you suggest Phantom, but didnt found Size=Medium. I think it was because I try to normalize my posts size, I tried to change the size to 4.

These additional terms fair enough, so let them be so! Saving Will and Items for the eventual quest for Mesprit and Garliburg Adventure is a stellar idea, so nice thinking mate!

This is how it appear when I post.
This is how the post looks like when I edit. The letter have normal size.
And this is when I click the option to show source.

Ah, thanks for these screenshots! I think I understand what's happening. Try to change the order of the codes in brackets to have the

The post you want to post *chuckles* should then look like this when viewing its source:

I'm not really interested in doing Diced battles between players. If you wanted to use an RNG site or something to organize it between you two, that's fine, but I don't want to roll 'em.

We'll move to a weekly system and let's go ahead and advance the Game Day for the last time. You can flashback to the last of these Mason battles.
