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

[Lord Windos]

I mean, I could just have Kirlia learn Lucky Chant if I REALLY feel I need it...but it's not so much 1s that have been plaguing me as much as the really, really large amounts of 2s and 3s that accompany them and the 1 or 2 successes I roll... (though I have stated before that when my luck is bad, it's completely terrible, I guess...)

All of the attributes are rather core.  Insight's a little less so in this campaign, but the other 3 are all really, really important to keep on top of if you want to maximize your battle potential.  Dex affects accuracy and initiative, Strength affects your damage and ability to Grapple, and Vitality is both more HP and more Def .  It's why I've poured so much exp into raising those 3 stats, and raising specialties for the boosted accuracy, with 1 point put into survival so my intiatives aren't completely terrible.  (Starting out with Reiner was pretty grueling since he started with only 2 Dex and 0 Survival...but dang, did he hit hard.  Kinda like how Valder started out, I guess.  Though Reiner had 4 points in Fight to help with accuracy issues, so that's the other thing I planned for.  Fights are certainly a lot more interesting when you're going second fairly consistently...)

So, in summary, Pokerole is a game where you either keep pace with your opponents, or you'll get crushed horribly.

Indeed! I knew was going to be creating a gimped character when coming into the Roleplay originally, but I had an idea I wanted to create, and it require starting with a weanie beanie researcher. His empathy and high Insight has come in handy several times, and given me a greater buffer against the big annoying Status effects (Sleep, Confusion, and Love), but had I known how important DEX and STR was going to be, I would have given him 4 DEX and 2 Insight, and had 1 Survival and 3 Fight instead of 1 Knowledge and 3 Survival. Would have made things for my character battle wise muuuuuch easier, but I might not have developed my debuff heavy fighting style or become a Tank, so there is that to consider as well!

I need to get Medicine and my Accuracy pool up, before I start putting points into STR or Evasion. I'm built to take hits anyway, so skimping on Evasion for a bit won't hurt me...to much. Might put one point in their, just in case.
