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

[Lord Windos]

If you want to Dynamic Punch 3 times, go for it!  Nelly's got a 14 D6 base accuracy pool for Brawl based moves, so using it 3 times isn't a problem.  However, you could also use Waterfall (which is powered up by Torrent and Rain), Crunch, or Ice Fang up to FIVE times this round as well and still be able to crit the last hit if you aren't pained (nor using Ice Fang, since it has a -1 accuracy penalty)...hmmm...

Something else I'll note for you: Blaze, Torrent, Overgrow, and Swarm have an awesome additional effect in this campaign.  On top of giving you +1 more damage die for every pain you're experiencing, you can also trigger the ability once per encounter to do the move's maximum damage guaranteed to your target (remember when Valarie's Typhlosion did that to Reiner's Kingdra with Burn Up and Blaze at 1 HP?  Yeowch!  Even at -2 damage, that STILL hurt!).

So yeah, that's fun.

With Choice Scarf he could conceivably pull of 4 Dynamic Punches per round, but like you said spamming Waterfalls/Crunches/Ice Fangs has its appeal.....

Keep in mind that if trigger that part of the Ability, its other effects immediately go away for the rest of the Encounter, and I'll be rolling for Recoil damage equal to the max amount inflicted on the opponent. So using Torrent can be a boss killer, but it can also cream you if you are not careful!
