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

[Lord Windos]

Potentially stupid question time because it is obvious, but I'd rather ask and confirm with GM before doing anything wrong or it slipping under the cracks

So, I am currently adding smol dear Spritzee to my charasheet. He has 2 Channel Speciality, as well as 3 Nature Speciality and 1 Allure. That should technically mean he ALSO has 2 Fight (the Skill Channel Spec. belongs to), 1 Contest (the Skill Allure Spec. belongs to) as well 3 Survival (the Skill Nature Spec. belongs to). That's correct, isn't it? HOWEVER, if I now want to raise Allure further, I do have to raise Contest Skill on Spritzee FIRST, right, even if the PC provides the Skill?

>If that however is NOT the case and I can raise Allure directly, ignoring that the Speciality is higher than the Skill (like it's the case with Pseudos aka Zephy for me), then I have to do a bit of recalculating/re-disctributing of XP on Myra and Nirix because when creating these 'Mons I've spent XP to raise their Skills first before raising the Specialities underneath.

>If that IS the case, then all is fine and good and I've got things right and I'm just under the weather currently, aka brain is foggy, I'll go eat smth

Remember dear, that a Average Mon uses most of a trainers stats AND their Skills. Skills only matter on the Pseudos, Mythics, and very rare Mon. So DONT level Skills for reg Mons, yeah?

In any case I do allow Specialties to be higher than Skills. I encourage min maxing, it makes sense that a Mon or person maybe be super good at one thing instead of being forcibly well rounded. 

Oh. Well…I suppose you got extra work to do then dear. Sorry…
