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

[Lord Windos]

Well, keep in mind that'd set a precedent.  Anything we can do, the NPCs can too.  I don't think it'd be very fun for anyone to lose 3+ actions completely because someone's pokemon knows Fake Out and uses the same mechanics that Shiva isn't able to fully exploit.  Particularly since Fake Out does chip damage too.

And trying to plan how to deal with uber powerful techniques that players are abusing isn't super fun for the GM either.  It's why I stopped trying to use Horn Drill in the Celadon campaign and made an agreement with Windos on how and when it would be used.

Reverse is also true as well, as any NPC me or Iron designs to face off against you means you can pick off those tricks and make our jobs all the harder down the line. Goes both ways, don't you know!

Yeap, super Accurate Horn Drill spam forced me to include several delaying tactics and anti OHKO measures until we decided that enough was enough, and not to use unless the situation calls for it. Its also part of the reason why I also have not spammed Sleep inducing moves against Reiner, as his fight against the Shroom Bros proved that getting put to sleep without recourse is not fun to fight against....
