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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

- Alright, so let me reword that slightly, then...

Strength
+1
+2 if Defense Curl is used prior to this move in the same Round (Last hit gets +1 instead)
+2 when calculating the damage of the last hit of this move

Removes some of the ambiguity, I think.  Match up with what you were going for?

- Yeah, I thought it worked like that at first, then I reread it just to make sure.  Thing with the Defense Curl Buff in that case though is that it doesn't actually buff your damage output any since you can only do 4 hits the turn you use Defense Curl (only 5 actions per round, after all).  Which has its pros and cons, but eh.  But yeah, very powerful if it were to work like that just because of the sheer nuking power.  Particularly since you unleash all those hits before your opponent can react in Pokerole.  Yeowch!  Throw in the RS/IB buff to deal another guaranteed 1 damage per hit, and things are gonna go down FAST even if you do terribly on the damage rolls.

- Good ol' Gravity shenanigans.  Gimmicky, but potent if you can play it properly.  Of course, it's a little more potent in the games since then you can build your whole team around Gravity without giving your opponent too much benefit from the move, but with how Pokerole works, that's kinda difficult to do :/  Still, having +2 accuracy dice is nice, and probably doesn't matter much for your opponent when they already have dice pools like Clair's.  Or are facing a giant Ferrothron that they're probably going to hit and crit anyways.

Oh, and specifically, the things Gravity forces down besides Levitate and Flying Types are: 
 - Bounce (cancels the charge if it's mid bounce)
 - Fly (cancels the charge if it's mid flight)
 - Splash (lol.  Z-Splash still grants +3 Attack, though, so the move can't really 'fail' any more than it already does)
 - Jump Kick
 - High Jump Kick
 - Magnet Rise (cancels if it's active)
 - Telekinesis (cancels if it's active)
 - Sky Drop (cancels the charge if the target hasn't been dropped yet)
 - Flying Press
 - Air Balloon

- Pretty much, yeah!

- I was actually talking about the Surprise in regards to modding Rollout to be more like it was in the base games, where its BP doubles for every hit, and Defense Curl just adds + 1 more BP to every hit too. Unless I'm not understand what your are tyring to get at?

As for Iron Barbs applying to Rollout, I'm probably just going to roll a 1D6 to determine for how many times it procs during Multi-Actions, with (1), (2), and (3) procing it once, (4) and(5) procing it twice, and (6) procing it 3 times for a full 5 Multi Action Chain. For a 3-4 Chain a 1D4 will be rolled [(1)s and (2)s procing it once, and (3)s/(4)s procing it twice], and a coin flip for 2 Chain (Heads Procs twice, Tails onces). That way Iron Barbs still gives it some kick, but its not going to become a + 5 Damage powerhouse move that can shred Pokémon. Type Resistences, Surprises, and Abilities can also ignore Iron Barbs (Tough Claws, for instance, will now be immune to Contact damage for using Phys moves due to their claws being THAT tough), so I'm already thinking up was to make sure little Adam doesn't get TOO out of hand.

-Considering the luck I have with rolling dice, that + 2 Accuracy could make or break it for a given Pokémon. Especially if they end up Snake Eyes or adding snake eyes to the roll...... Make sure to note down those moves in the Notes section, mate, so that we can remember this for laters!
