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

Original Post

Oh. Everyone's growing so powerful it seems...Now I'm feeling slightly bad because I don't want Shiva to become just as mighty in Stats and rather concentrate on raising several Specialities ( = soft-raise Accuracy Pools this way); at some point she'll probably get a 4th point in Dexterity+Knowledge but apart from that she's completed in Attributes and Skills. But, it's my own decision what I'll do with the chara and that should be fine, I guess? I think I rather become useful and versatile outside of battles and in-battle 'compensate' things with all the tricks and combinations her Pokemon Team allows, that fits her nature better and is somehow more fun to me...

On the other hand, just as I'm free to do/level what I like everyonelse is as well, and I simply do not desire to become super-strong when it comes to fighting... It's boring if everyone of the group does so? I'm just trusting that things will somehow be 'balanced', Iron, in order to maybe not have things 'hard for those with naturally high dice pools in battle' while simultaneously 'barely any chance for those with not so high pools'?  ...I worry to much. >.<; But it's just a thought I had, don't mind me too much.

Sorry honey bunny, but I just want to make sure that those blobs get a right pounding, and I like being in battles or situations that require Attributes rather than focus on the Skills and Specialities, so this recent choice of my makes all to much sense to me, really. Of course, having skills/specialites in outa battle scenarios is always a nice to have, so going that route with your character isn't all that bad of an option, especially if everyone else is specialized in battle or specific niche!  I'm sorry that I am are making you feel that Shiva feels inferior to the rest of the group.....

I don't necessarily think its 'boring' if everyone was strong in battle; if anything, it would make things 'easier' since everyone has sufficient strength to deal with just about any foe short of Plot Device ones or Blatent Surprise Encounters, and take some stress out of those combat scenarios as a result. However, I can happily accept your desire for a more technical character than not, and I trust Iron can make Encounters that are fair and reasonable for us to accomplish! Have faith in Shiva and them, dear!

Nononono Windos, please don't feel personally bad or such, I don't want that D: I can't guarantee that it won't make HER feel overshadowed again, but I'm feeling positive that her own Hero's Journey is going well and she'll be able to get along/accept it and herself more as things continue (help or supprt from the others is welcome). But thank you for showing compassion!~ Earned you a hug.♡

The fact that it makes things 'easier' is exactly what would somehow make it boring for me, although it'd probably indeed simplify important Boss Battles and the like. But in more traditional RPGs with more than one playable chara everyone of the group that's facing a boss has it's niche or speciality, some are direct attackers while others are more supporter or healer (or, I'm enjoying to keep my playable group versatile...), I guess that can roughly be transfered to our group of characters as well.
