So, my goal with the FG damage limitation was to lessen its effectivness against larger pokemon. In the games, it's only particularly effective against opponents with HP comparable to or less than the user's. Pokerole's base rules lack that restriction, turning it into a move capable of severely injuring (or even KOing) anything in one hit, regardless of their bulk.

FG, however, lacks the spammability that other 'fixed' damage moves have, and has a large drawback in that the user immediately faints.

As it is currently, in fights against smaller opponents, this isn't as large of an issue, as FG's damage output hitting the soft cap still far exceeds that of most normal moves. Against a larger foe, however, it is near worthless compared to using Super Fang, a move that is not that difficult to obtain on specific pokemon.

This...honestly goes against my initial goals for the game, and I deeply apologize for that.

One of my goals is for players to feel like they're all able to contribute. Limiting actions unnecessarily is something I wish to avoid.

So, I will do as suggested and lift the damage cap on FG. However, I reserve the right to reduce its effectiveness against opponents that are larger/more powerful than the user.

I apologize for the delays this has caused (was also a little burnt out from writing those long posts in SR). This should not have happened and is entirely my fault. I will get posts up for this game either later today or tomorrow now that I've had time to approach this with a level head and a clear mind.

We have freedom to say some opinions, when needed. When I tried to offer other options with the reduction of Final Gambit, I felt put aside when you dismiss like before, however, after some conversation with Windos via Steam, you are the Game Master, and you have the right of accept or refuse the options we players offer. And after the bad blood of fight of arguments we had before, that kinda doesnt help.

I also want to apologize for the bad times I make get though Dragonstrike.

This option I will make is not exatcly something I like...but maybe could fix the problem on a long term.

If you want, you can keep the base 10D6 maximum damage you have envisioned before, and when you bring your official campaigh, to have some sort of Side Quest or maybe even Main Quest, who reward could be the True Final Gambit, the Final Gambit with his original effects.

But that reward would be more far away in the campaigh, more or less Middle Campaigh to close of the end of the campaigh. That way, you can run your boss fights without the fear of OHKO from Hime or anyone else against your bosses. And keep a nice reward for anyone who get that Quest. And you keep your original goal of Final Gambit. More or less like Iron Diceless campaigh.

How it that sounds Dragonstrike?
