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

[Redstone]

Thoughts @Redstone and people?

The dust boosts wind moves so I can immediately see tailwind as good again.

Spending the big nuke immediately could be an angle. with final gambit and that hitting both we'll be off to a great start

[Spiritmon]

Yeah...And considerely how deadly those battles has been so far I think I should stick with Fortuna for now due to her Dark-typing offer some defense. Persephone still a solid option. Specially if we combine with one nasty move I been thinking for a while: 

Perish Song.

A a normal Pokemon I can doubt it could even dent against the Super Boss...But if Oz herself use Perish Song with the mega buffs and fusion she have? Maybe. Could cause massive damage to everything included ourselves, but I have a plan in tell Glinda to teleport everyone away or as much away as possible from the battlefield when the countdown reach 0 (since it will take 3 turns to Perish Song have a effect). It is a plan B in case we don't finish the Super Boss quick enough. Persephone is also a very solid option due to have Skill Swap so maybe she can could try to steal the Super Boss ability and give us a big boost of power in our side?

Yikes, Super Mega Boosted Perish Song would be....certainly nasty. It also counts as a 'Spiritual' effect, which means DDD Weather would work with it to at least Not Benefit the Super Boss, who would normally eat up any Ghost Attacks for Dinner. Heck, Oz wouldn't even get penalized for it trying to use it as a Scimitar Spell due to her, ah, somewhat close nature to death itself.

However, it's precisely because of the Super Synergy it has with Oz that using it would be....not a great idea unless as a literal last resort. Because I'll tell you right now that with as much backing it up it wouldn't trigger 3 - Rounds from now: her Song would start having effect before she uses it and once she actually does.... OH NO for anyone that hears the Dirge of Death.

To be upfront, you're better off going with the Megidoloan + Misty Explosion Combo as a true last ditch option, or even as a Alpha Strike if you want to Super Boss completely on the back foot at the cost of Round Removing your PC until they get a Revive or better in them. The Explosion side of things is likely to cause some backlash on everyone unless you literally throw yourself into the Boss' Mouth or some clever Cover/protection effects are used before hand, but THAT is infinately more tolerable than what comes of a near-Ultimate Perish Song....

Yeah...Already imagined it would be way to much dangerous to use such powerful move. I was already not in much wanting to use the move since again, it would be way to much dangerous to use right away. Perhaps I will use the powerful combo...but considerely how much everyone will need some defense with Wide Guard, perhaps Oz will keep using her defensive ability depending of the situation. And I dont think we will have the same chance of setting up Boosts pre-battle like we did with Sand-Goth, since the boss is not anymore going to be arrogant and going full murder mode.

@Redstone, going Nuke could be good, but again it the nuke will hit everyone. Megidoloan and Misty Explosion will hit everyone and everything, and remember, Megidoloan is a No-typing move and ignore defenses. And Misty Explosion? It's literally a fairy-type nuke! It could either leave badly damaged or even Kill your dragons even with the best buffs. Not to mentioned destroy everything.

Also Windos, I will make my post. Just need to finish a few things on my side and then going full writting mode.

Tbf I mostly mean Megaidoloan without the Misty, such can be cast from a distance without endangering us (I assume), would be safer for us then the full bomb thats for sure.

Also that interaction reminds me of Akamus horrible contest lol, spending 14 exp to get that to 2.


A bit off topic again but since my exams I've been playing mc again and started to breed a lot of Nalus lol.

Question: How much XP Oz and Fortuna get from the battle against Sand-Goth and the meeting with Fayette? Just to make sure in char sheet. Also I already have 4 in Channel (in Oz base form) and have 3 in Empathy so I can only take +1 in Lore since it is the lowest stat I have? I have 0 in lore. Just to make sure. Also -5 in Will correct? Just to make sure we on the same page regard information.

Also @PhantomUnderYourDesk, do Bernard still need medical assistance? I mean, you said you gonna stay out of the fight, but I do think your char could use some healing still, but if not, I would like to take a look in the other people who might need medical assistance.

Oz and Fortuna: Same as Seddi and his Mons =  '46 XP' ; 16 XP is gained between Trainer and Mons ('Shared'), while the remaining 30 XP is to be split between Trainer and their participating Mons however you wish ('Pool') 

However, Hecate will receive a 1/2 of a copy of whatever XP you give to Oz. For example, if you were to just have Oz take ALL but 1 XP (poor Fortuna...), then Hecate would get 23 XP. Additionally, + 5 XP to Hecate after getting 'copy' for what she Learnt.

To clarify what I mean by 'shared' - give the XP specified to EACH Target. For EX: 20 XP 'shared' means both Target A and Target B get 20 XP. Essentially this is 'shared experience' a Trainer and his Mons simultaneously get from participating in Fights/Encounters via their Bond and the commonality of it that is 'shared' between their side of things.

To clarify what I mean by 'pool' - the XP within that pool is to be split among Targets; in some cases it must be equal or proportional to effort (Min 1 XP per Target), and in others the Player is free to divide the XP in the pool as they wish among Targets. For EX2: 20 XP 'pooled' means you can give Target A and Target B 10 XP each, or Target A gets 19 XP while Target B is left with but a crumb of 1 XP

Yes, + 1 Lore , - 5 Will (Though if it falls below 10, cap loss to 11 for Megidoloan + 1 Will Leftover; I'm not going to take THAT option off the table. XP explanation quoted above.

Whoosh. Sorry about the desperation scene Windos. I got really scared for a second there when I forgot about Oz Pokemon be inside their Pokeballs.

Alright, gonna remake the scene then. Give me a few minutes.

Question. The 16 XP Oz already get by default is also already cut in half so its 8 XP for Oz and 8 XP for Hecate? Or its only start be divided after I decided to split the 30 XP I receive? And what you mean by Hecate get +5 XP after getting copy what she learnt?

No. 

First, total/decide how much XP will get: your PC auto gets 16 XP, and from there can decide how much XP they want to take from the Pool of 30.

Second, once you have a Total - let's say 40 XP, to keep it simple - you then divide that number by half: give half that number to Hecate while maintainiiing the original amount for yourself. In this case 40 / 2 = 20 XP for Hecate, while Oz still keeps the 40 XP. Think of it Hecate having the modern gen EXP Share, where she gets 1/2 the XP you earn (and ultimately decide upon) without actually subtracting from it (Pure gains for her at no cost to you, in other words, aside from still be stuck as a Fusion).

Third, add the + 5 XP to whatever amount of XP you end up 'sharing' with her - in the above case it would be 20 + 5 = 25 XP

One more question about Z-moves. Does my char know about all the status moves Z effects since he's from alola?

Moves that arent in the main games like dragon hide dont really have canon resources to go off of.

(..)Also @Phantom, do Bernard still need medical assistance? I mean, you said you gonna stay out of the fight, but I do think your char could use some healing still, but if not, I would like to take a look in the other people who might need medical assistance.

Yes, yes he does indeed still need medical assistence: No immediate emergency-care anymore since the FullRestore cared for the severe wound and Fayette cleared the shock and emotional wounds to a good degree, BUT Bern probably needs blood transfusions and you said you wanted to give re-attaching his Gauntlet a try. Unless such an operation either takes too much time or is not possible within the war zone, in that case Bern will find trained professionals for this.
