[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

I was half thinking of letting that happen, but I recall I'm deliberately trying not to be a Killer Gamemaster despite the difficulty of my campaign. Its hardly fun having your counter getting wasted because you forgot to que up some attacks afterwards!

Cooler's Ability is Torrent, and his Surprise is + 2 Vitality, since Nelly picked this one up from a trainer looking to make a good trade as a Totodile. She believe she got the better end of the deal, and I'm inclined to agree!

Hmm.....given that Pokémon in our campaigns drawn their Attributed prowess from their Trainers rather than themselves primarily unless Wild/Special, letting them auto copy an STRONK being's stats could be problematic.....but then again Reiner is hardly a weakly himself, and Arial's Gasper has a Choice Scarf to limit what he can do with the move. Up until now I've been having it just copy the Moves, Abilities, Surprises, and Stat Changes, so changing the way it works now would seem odd. Still, you make a good point with the rulings in the book AND this change would make the move more in line with how it works in the base games, so going forward Transform will also duplicate the Opponent's  Attributes as well. However I still can keep the Attribute secret myself, so as to not give more intel to you guys to exploit ruthlessly!

So Gasper Cooler would have + 2 VIT and + 1 STR and DEX, with the afformentioned moves and Torrent and Nelly's own stats backing it up. What a beast!

Sweet.

And what's the Choice Scarf's effect again?  +2 Initiative or something?  Because a Quick Claw does the same thing in the book rules, but with no drawback, so...

Speaking of which, Gaspar still needs an Initiative roll iirc. Didn't matter at first due to Prankster, but it certainly matters now!
