[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Hmm....alright, looks like only Pyra can learn Stone Edge, since G-Ziggies and Ralts can't. In that case, got a question for you, Dragonstrike: are you open to Move Based Surprises! like Iron was in his campaign? Because I got an idea for one for it I'd like to run by you, if you're partial to hear it.

Possibly.

Vague and too short, your answer is mate. My proposal ain't aiming to make SE bullshit busted, if you're skeptical about that. All I wanted was to lower its BP by 1 and/or increasing its Accuracy Penalty by 1/2 in exchange for making it Spread for a lowish amount of XP. Everyone but Kogeki and Pyra has access to Spread Damage, and I'd like to patch that deficiency up in someway without waiting on a copy of Rock Slide or for a tutor for Heat Wave to open up somewhere.

Well, in terms of in game time, I will say it shouldn't be long before a tutor for Heat Wave becomes available.

You did something similar for Stone Edge in SR, right?  How much exp did that cost again?

True, but then there is the cost of getting Heat Wave in of itself in that case, and Pyra already has Ember for her go to Fire Move. Not that it is bad to get more STAB, given the battle system you are using, but having more coverage to hit stuff that Fire or Dark can't so well  is something to consider.

Hmm....well, in my notes for SR I got 25 XP for Making SE Spread without any downsides, but that was during the late game of Iron's Campaign (AKA Skull Ruins crawl), and I'm not entirely certain if he didn't let it go down to 20 XP. Given that you seemed to be more keen to make things balanced, I'd say you'd probably up the price on making it Spread, so that's why I figured taking on a downside to a Surprise! upgrade would lower its cost to something less pricey.
