[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

That multiple Fury Swipes hit hard. Looking forward to pull off multiple autohitting Swifts in Iron's Game now. ^^

However, uhm... Speaking of Felicia, how do I say this... Am I in the position to say this at all? Does it count a constructive critique? Well, eh... It's totally your campaign and GM can do what they want and bring up what they want, but I feel things are overdone on that Persian Encounter. :/ It's shiny, speaks like a human, knows three ?-moves, has+1 Luck and hoarded loot that just awaits the player... It's overly great and a very valuable Pokemon, for sure, but it's a little too much suprises for a single Pokemon. This makes it unnatural as a random wild Encounter for my taste, shiny + one maximum two additional suprise/s would be enough. It feels more like a Plot Device than a Encounter...
Additionally, Giovanny will surely love to get another Persian. That alone would give the player who catches that wild Persian (if there were more than one, though) an overpowered benefit, which feels...well, not good.

I designed that encounter as an alternative reward/make up reward if they decided not to openly rob Emily in the beginning. I rolled for how much money he was going to get (Had to reroll a couple of time because they got ones, which is not allow to happen on auto Rare Loot drops), and he managed to get Stardust and $1900 Poke. Stardust was a low tier Rare item, if he rolled higher he could have gotten Star Pieces, Nuggest, and Large Pearls. Then I rolled a blasted 20 on the second loot item, which has a Key Stone as its first Ultra Rare Prize. Next Time he rolls a 20 on a rare, he has a chance to find a Big Nuggest for his good fortune

Persain was not intended to be a Plot device, however. Its just an idea I had when I read Assist's description, and thought to myself: Why not? I already had a backstory in mind for the cat as to how it was so special to began with, but having a way to convey it to the player while also giving them another 'partner' , so to speak was to good to pass up. The Luck Surprise was something I added to explain just why it was so deadly in her encounter to begin with, and story wise as a way to partially justify a Shiny Persain living comfortably on the streets for years, other than its honed skills of course. Besides, I want my encounter to be more fun and exerlirating that 'realistic' like Iron's campaign, since this is ment more as an experiment and happy diversion. Sorry love...

Oh, and Training Session are still a thing. Its just that , more often than not, you have much more pertinent things you need to be doing...
