[Lord Windos]

Question: if Ridia and Felicia were to join the fray now and everyone focused on the same target to start with, would there be a CHAOS! check?

Of course, this is a moot point if Reiner can't summon any more pokemon right now.

Typically, Pokémon that are not introduced at the start or near the start of the Round will either have to wait until the current round is over to get their bearings, or would have to have been involved the Encounter/Fight in some way (Even if only watching) for them to be able to jump in immediately. Examples of this include Mega Arbok and Kyubi joining the Buzzwole fight, or Weavile joining in at that Round.

The other option is to use a Trainer Action/Mutliple Action to summon one on the spot, but a CHAOS! check would have to be preformed if they can immediately get a grip on the situation and/or if she doesn't end up being blasted by her teammate on accident, and the amount of actions they take is limited by how many 'mini rounds' has passed. EX: Mew have 5 Actions qued up, and Ridia is summond after she has preformed two of them. Ridia therefore can only do 1-3 Actions that round, with the Multiple Actions penalty associated with doing 5 Actions as a consequence of being thrown into the fray and scrambling to get shit done.

The Chaos! Roll for mid Round summonings will typically be Insight + Knowledge + 1/2 Empathy (Hard to get a read when the critter is suddenly summoned with hardly any down time] and 4-5 Successes, but can vary based on the situation, like if DEX being used if Ridia was in your arms while you were suddenly attacks/ambushed. However, since Reiner has 0 Insight and only 1 Knowledge, trying to do so now will most likely fail with how malicious the dice are acting.....
