[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Alrighty, thanks for clarifying that! So you need to keep track of both defensive attributes, the resultant HP gain, and also Special Attack. I've never played with a trainer-mon split, as you know, even though the original rules have them entirely split.

Your ruling on SPE -> Trainer sounds very Scimitar-like!

I'll ask to negotiate XP spread once I take a look at what moves are available for my mon, but I will probably request to spread that out a lot more so my wee Pokemon aren't gimped.

It’s a bit of a mess, yes, but the end result hopefully strikes the right balance of Stat Management. Individually raising most of the Stats of each Mon is intense work imo (Let alone accounting for Surprises!), so splitting the burden between two XP Pools (Trainer and their Mons) should make it more convenient and easy to Level Stuff at least!

Funny that you mention that: Scimitars and Mages always have the Option of Pooling all the Contributing Mons SPE when they’re doin MAGIC or Moves, and can even modulate how much of that power they use at once! EX: If a Scim has 10 SPE to work with, the can use between 1-10 of it for any given task! This important cause using more power that you can handle is BAD news - I’ll indicate those limits when they apply . Scums get their entire Party’s SPE if they’re hooked up to their Guantlet and the Scimis running the Ritual, but this whole process is inherently unstable and prone to malfunctions and oddities if ‘overclocked’ too much or the Scim tries to pull something dangerous/they’re not ready for. Other kinds of Magic users have their own little nuance to how they handle Special too - play your cards right and you might get to experience them for yourselves!

KO! Let me know when you are ready, and don’t rush now!
