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

[Dragonstrike]

Action: Avoid Nidorino attacks and try to calm him. Perhaps a test of evation and knowledge about that since he is a Pokemon rare collector. Perhaps a test of Dexterity + Evasion + Alert + Insight + Survival?

The roll would be Dexterity + Fight + Evasion for an evasion roll.  Alert + Insight + Survival is just for avoiding getting ambushed and the like.

Almost all rolls use one attribute, one skill, and one specialty.

Thanks God I level up Dex before anything

Yeah, Dex is a very, very important thing to level.  All the attributes are to a degree.  Strength affects damage pretty heavily, particularly when using low power moves.  Dex affects accuracy, initiative, and evasion.  Lots of fighty stuff, and it also affects movement speed and maneuverability.  Vitality affects both Defense and HP, so it's very, very important, particularly when trying to stomach taking high power moves.  And Insight...well, that's mostly for attempting to persuade pokemon to join you, knowledge and social related stuff, and avoiding getting ambushed.

Insight's currently the least important one overall since its influence is primarily outside of combat, while the others are very much very, very combat heavy.
