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

[Iron]

Legendaries and Plot Deviced battles depend on how the story teller wants to handle them more than anything else.  What I think is going to be most interesting is how the Champion Battle is handled...because the book says that's the one Trainer Battle that's entirely Plot Deviced, just like Legendaries.  The Elite Four, according to the book, just ignore Attribute limits.  The Champion just outright ignores the rules entirely, and the book even states that your character and pokemon probably aren't even considered 'normal' by that point.

I have lots of plans about this! More than human...



I gave Windos a rarity and XP budget for his Pokemon, with costs to evolve them. So he had to choose between picking up the most powerful moves or being fully evolved. 
It is a little easier to max things out when you get all your XP at once, though. Terra is very specialized for battle. 


If I may suggest it, Windos and Phantom might want to come up with specific and enforceable handicaps for Terra in their battle. Personally I would find that more fun than the stronger trainer holding back until he starts losing.
Possibilities: 5v6 Pokemon, always holding back, limit of 2 actions per round, asymmetrical item rules, anything like that.

And you may not want to do a full 6-Pokemon battle anyway. They take a long time.
