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

Note about Copycat, Metronome, Me First, Assist, etc.: the rules seem to imply that you don't roll the called/copied move's actual accuracy.  If the accuracy roll for the copying/calling move succeeds, that's the number of accuracy successes used for the callled/copied move from what I can tell.

That sounds like a pretty double-edged sword: On the plus side, if the foe's used move crits the Copycat-MeFirstUser crits as well, that's pretty neat. On the down side, if they fail or miss the move, you'll fail as well, which.... I don't know, kinda makes no sense to me especially on Copycat. o.o

Imagine the scenario: The foe uses a move, let's say Thunderbolt or whatever, and misses the target. But the foe has used the move definitely, they displayed it, which enables the user to copy it via Copycat because they've seen the foe using it and can now copy the movements of the attack to use it themselves against the foe, regardless whether they previously hit the user or not. In a Double Battle, none can prevent you from copying a move one of the foe has used against your allies, means which wasn't targeted at the user at all. The Copycat-User has seen the move, they can copy it. 

To me personally it sounds more fitting to use one's own Roll to see whether the copied move succeeds or not rather than making it dependant on the foe's Roll. That's also how it been ruled in my Battle against Chuckles here: http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...t#pid50567

Copycat will not be used by my Spinda if the Athletics Check fails, and Spinda has the order to only use Copycat if *Linoone displays Slash or Extreme Speed.
