[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

@Lord Windos, I'm waiting for your reply in Game Thread now. Once you told me about the top hat and sad Azurill, mind to give it to me? I'll head off for a Training Session to teach Cottonee Mega Drain and work on Abra's Psychic powers while you are fishing, Nathan + Valder are battling and Larry is...stuck on that Butterfree. Maybe the Azurill will feel a little better around me, in a calmer area, where no battle takes place.

"...Little one, are you perhaps unhappy about your current form because it doesn't fufill whatever task you set you sights on? Please tell me if this is the case, as I know a friend that would be more than happy to help you achieve your evolution!"

*sneezes* Someone called?

*Hands Phantom a tissue* Hear you go, dear! Don't want you to get the sniffles on me, so be sure to drink plenty of green tea and get some good rest! V

Ventus is pretty much going to give Azurill to Shiva, unless anyone has any objections. He (and I) don't want any more Poison weakness on the team, no thank you!

Valder, as Nathan explained, you don't want to be going to 2 actions yet. You technically can't, in fact, because the -3 penalty would remove you to 0 dice, and the Luck Dice is only for things like status conditions and pain penalizations. So you need to level up your Dexterity, or Fight, or Brawl first.

Here's what I calculate for damage: 3 Str, +1 move power, +1 STAB - where's that extra +1 come from?

 So, to confirm. When I use two actions, that will remove 1 dice for the rest of the battle. regardless of which pokemon used it as long as it's one of mine?

 And to the extra 1... well. I have no idea. I think I might have added 1fight. My brain must have auto-piloted it.

(I'm going offline again (should I maybe not bother to mention this?))

No, consecutive actions work like this: If you declare that you will do consec. actions, you remove 2  Dice from your accuracy pool for the first one, then 3 on the second, 4 on the third move, and so on. If you are doing a single attack, then the only thing that will remove from Accuracy will be Pain, Accuracy debuffs, being Knocked Down, or for some reason on Iron's part!

[Iron]

No, it's on a round-by-round basis. Here are some examples:

Round 1
Gastly has 3 accuracy dice. He makes one Lick attack.
Accuracy: 3 dice.

Round 2
Gastly makes 2 Lick attacks (or any two attacks, regardless of the move).

1st accuracy: 3 dice - 2 dice (the number of actions) = 1 dice
2nd accuracy: 3 dice - 3 dice (the number of actions, plus another penalty for being the second attack. the second attack is always less accurate.) This would be 0 dice, so he can't even do it.

Round 3
Gastly goes back to making 1 lick attack.

Accuracy: 3 dice.

Round 4 Gastly/Valder levels up his Brawl specialty, and makes 2 attacks. His base accuracy is now 4 dice.

1st attack: 4, -2 = 2 dice
2nd attack: 4, -2 = 1 dice

So now he can do that, but his chances aren't good. If he receives a pain penalization, he'll have to use a luck dice or forgo his second attack. Luck dice are risky, so normally you'd just forgo this.

Round 5
Gastly goes back to just making one attack, so it's 4 accuracy dice again.



In summary: Valder shouldn't even worry about multiple attacks until he can add at least 1, but preferably 2, dice to his routine.

*sipps Green Tea* I gladly take that Azurill! If it...agrees? @Iron, a reaction for Azurill is needed, please. Ventus gave the top hat to me before I could say anything, so I'd like you to insert how the small Pokemon reacts at my sight first.

Ah, and I most likely will send that Fletchling back for the sake of Azurill... Since I rather want to work on Abra than on getting a Fletchinder that won't even obey me. Unless I could just carry it around without a Pokeball? But... I don't think I'd want that, personally.

[Iron]

Even a Pokemon not in a Pokeball counts against the League maximum of 6. So somebody has to go in the PC.

Followers like Geodude don't count, but those Pokemon have no Loyalty to you whatsoever and fight only if they feel like it.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That'll be Fletchling then who has to go to Bill's PC. Sorry, little singing bird...

When Shiva accepts the hat, Azurill runs up her sleeves and hides there for a bit before returning to the hat. You decide this is probably a sign that it likes you.

ADORABLE. And a good sign.

[Lord Windos]

Shiva needs to get that Breeder's Liscene soon, if she want that fire birdy back in their party!
