[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

Spare With the Merchant Round 2!

The Merchant just shakes the head amusingly at Reiner, before pulling out a Hyper Potion and injectioning you with its contents. Ahhh...that felt much better. "Hehehe, you have guts , stranga, but I can respect someone that keeps on fighting. Tell you what, I'll let you get some hits on me, just to make things even between us. Wouldn't want my best customer to resent me, eh?"

As promised, they took a few steps back and let you wail on them for a bit

Strike 1
(2)(4)(4)(5) Hit
Damage: 4D6 - Vitality (1) - Heavy Duty Body Armor ( + 4 Defense, -1 Damage to Physical Attacks) =  1D6 - 1
(-) You land your Strike solidly into their chest....and immediantly retract your fist, feeling lancing pain shot straight up your arm. By the Dragons, it was like punching a brick wall!

You land your other two blows once the sensation started to numbed, this time taking care to brace yourself for each impact. Predictably, they did utterly nothing to the now quite terrifying sales person, other than chuckle at each blow. "Hehehe, I see you discovered my other surprise: Military Guard Steel Plate Blast Armor. I can be standing right on a pipe bomb, and suffer nothing more than some singed clothing. I can sell it to you, if you are interest, but it will cost you $15000 Poke. Protection this good doesn't come cheap or easy, stranga."

For being a punching bag of the Merchant, you gain 4 XP , as well as the knowledge of an especially powerful piece of equipment. What do you now?

Custom Items: Heavy Duty Body Armor
Cost: Civilians are not usually permited to own such gear, so do the math yourself.
Use: Add 4 Defense score to your character, Grants the user pseudo Bulletproof , and the user is immune to Self Destruct, Explosion, and OHKO Moves. Also can be used to evolve Rhydon with....interesting results. If the users has less than 5 STR, however, they are effectively encumbered, reducing their DEX for each point they are below that threshold. (EX: You would currently have a -2 DEX Penalty if you tried to wear it now)
