[Dragonstrike]

Dragonstrike, some clarification on (Clashing physical with Special moves)?

--------------------------------------

Also, Dragonstrike, is Carkol restricted from attacking anyone if he's hiding behind the Rolycolys? Or do they have some sort of instictual coordination/very minor Plot Device that allows for him to strike out past their 'defensive' formation?

---------------------------------------

Will Points can't really reliably be used to ensure a Move's Accuracy bar the 'Ignore Pain for a Round' due to them having to be spent proactively now (ugh) , so they won't bail you out if an Action's Accuracy goes negative (unless I'm mistaken?).

Clashing is framed as a flexible technique in the book and doesn't have any written restrictions on what can and can't be clashed.  My main condition is the Clash has to be justifiable at the very least, and have a comparable number of targets/area of effect at minimum to the move you're clashing.

Keep in mind the book states that Clashes also still apply type effectiveness modifiers.

------------------------------------

Carkol won't be attacking any of the pokemon that he's ordered the Rolycoly to deal with until either a) the Rock types' formation is broken or b) the opponent that Carkol is 1v1ing has been defeated.

-------------------------------------

Will Points won't bail you out if a move's accuracy pool hits 0 or less (in which case I'll state you won't have spent the Will Point when the action comes around), but the successes that they add are unremovable so long as the move does not fail/use a Luck Die.

However, one question I'd like to clarify before I'll type out my orders in Game Thread Dragonstrike: In case I successfully clash a Flame Charge from Cakoal, will they still get the +1 Dext or won't they? I wouldn't say so as they didn't get to outplay the move completely, but what do you say as the GM?

I'd say the move's effect would not be triggered because the move didn't impact with full force if it's clashed.  That would also be consistent with all the Snarl Clashes you've done so far as well since they didn't drop the target's Special.
