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

There is always a cost to these sorts of things. Seeing as you preferred not to play along with the gimmick/RP of the Fusion and I just didn't want you to suffer in it just because of bad luck, a pivot was necessary to try and...rebalance things to be a bit more tasteful for everyone. You get control back, but you also have to deal with the narrative and mechanical consequences of Oz / you deciding to be Dominate rather than Persuasive and/or Cooperative. 'A house divided can't stand,' or as the saying goes - or at least not without some jank, as it is in this case.

I'm....honestly sad to hear your opinion about Zoeti. They seemed to be a neat way to make the most of Rare (if super unlucky yet fortunate) Roll that probably wouldn't come up again, and I was interested to see how you and/or I might have developed it, however short a time that may be. But if you feel like that form of engagement is too stark of a departure out of your comfort zone or too much to deal with....well like I said I don't want to make you miserable about it. 

Of course sometimes Bad Shit WILL happen that you'll just have to deal with without recourse, since it can't all be uphill. But in cases like this where I overstepped and botched the premise of a potentially good idea and it directly messing with you ability to enjoy the game itself I got to make amends.  Sometimes ideas can be a bit too experimental, but at least we can learn from their failings to do better, yeah?

I okay with the currently nerfs. The Skills is...a bit nifty for my taste but its workable specially with some uses of my own XP. I was saving for something else like increase my Mythical Healing, but I guess I have to use in Skills to better accuracy. My main issue is the perma Confusion for the rest of the fight. Oz will problably be a target for the monster due to Soul Bond, and now I have to be worry in not HIT myself with my own moves? On a battle when literally in the text Death Possibility is high? No. Just, no. I do like hard fights like the next cool guy, but not like this.

I would prefer not to have the Confusion at all, but if the Confusion is a necessary mechanic, if it was only temporary like...the first 2 rounds, that would be more cool since it would mean Oz getting the dizziness out of her mind and getting more used in her body. But perma Confusion? Just...no. 

I just...*Sight* I sorry, but I very defensive to player freedom and agency, specially is my own. The idea of a personality born of Hecate and Oz souls like Zoeti is cool. But I think it would be more preferable if it was more like a guidance voice or something else. No a dominate personality. And its like I said: She might be the combine soul of Oz and Hecate. But she is not Oz. MY Oz.

I am very aware of that. If bad shit happen I will accept and go along with the flow. But...please. Next time if I had to loose some freedom about it, just give me a headsup alright? I honestly wish my first time in some fusion would be better. But...*Sight* Lets just focus in the fight okay?
