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

Hmmmm...I feel like rolling for it now would be more beneficial, actually.  If it hatches before the start of any sequel campaigns, great, I'll have a good portion of the necessary the notes ready to go (and you'll have more time to prepare anything on your end as well)!  If not, then the same still applies, there'll just be a longer wait to use that birdie (and I'm a patient guy, so I don't really mind waiting...much.  I am gonna be kinda eager to get to know the chick and maybe use 'em a little after (s)he's hatched, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been excited for long periods of time.  Heck, I can hardly wait as is, and I don't even know all the details about this birdie yet!)  Gives me more time to think of a good nickname for him/her, too.




So you need to be able to do 7+ damage without SE damage factored in first, then the SE damage can make it so you only have to roll 5-6 successes instead of all 7.  Gotcha.  (Or to put it in other terms, Overloading is essentially going to be a double critical hit most of the time it actually occurs.  Ouch.)  And it also means that Electric Terrain + Thunderstorm buffed Electric moves have a huuuuuge potential to Overload when used by a VA pokemon...*whistles*...wow, that's a deadly combo...

Oh, I see.  So it's more like Static than it is Aftermath, in that it's the opponent's move that is the trigger for the small discharge of excess energy, instead of the damage going off when the user attacks (as the user's move is simply the one that builds up the excess energy).  That makes sense given the nature of the Ability.  Thanks for the clarification!

Correct on the VA Damage Charge! For the Overload, Extra Lethal Damage Mods count towards it too, and it doesn't cause Lethal Recoil to boot (Very few Moves are deadily to both the user and the target, and I don't think any of them besides Genesis Supernova will be rearing its ugly head anytime soon)! Of course, caution must be taken, for if the Damage No's get too, then the VA user is going to be taking a seista along with its victim, if you catch my drift. Don't forget Helping Hand too, and Mud Sport can seriously ruin any attempts to Overload as well, so keep those in mind!!!

Alright, here goes the Egg dice roll!:

(3) ......Somehow, I am not surprised. 

Well, congratulation, 1-3 Was the 'Jackpot!' Range! Lucy's child is going to be amazing!!!

....Or you could go double or nothing, and have the chance to have an even more ludicrously fortunate Dragon. I'll Roll a 1D20, and if you get a 1-4 or a 20 on the, the little girl will become even better. I'll even hatch her ASAP if you succeed, and give her bonus Loyalty and Happiness despite spending no time with the Egg! If the roll fails, though, then I reroll the 1D100, and fate yet again will determine if you get a good birdie or not.

The stakes are high. You only have a 25% chance of succeeding. But man, is the reward is oh so sweet. 

Are you a gambler, Dragonstrike?
