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

[Iron]

Lolololol, really? That feels rather powerful, but it goes nicely with how Furret's most attacks are physical and how Shiva is not trained in brawling. Do you allow this rule, Iron?

Found the specific forum post where they mentioned the Keen Eye and Hyper Cutter thing, btw

https://muut.com/pokerole#!/questions:pain-penalties

And the description for Keen Eye/Hyper Cutter in the book is as follows: This pokemon cannot have its accuracy/strength attribute reduced by any means.

All of it seems to definitely imply the pain penalty ignoring thing is intentional.

Yes, I saw that earlier actually. I support it.

That actually makes Keen Eye MUCH more useful than it would be otherwise, as not worrying about Pain/Accuracy Debuffs means it can order any amount of Actions without fear their dice will be reduced, except if they are Paralyzed or Cursed! Nice!

I'm surprised you hadn't noticed that yet, considering that little note on Keen Eye has been in Reiner's character sheet as long as the notes on Inner Focus's effects have been there (there's a short note on the ignoring pain penalties part).

To clarify this, they have a petal in their hair in addition to the usual green leaf. They also have the beginnings of Shiftry hair, on their heads only, like a human.
The pink petal will follow them to the Pokeball like a held item.

That Shiftry hair I noticed. C:
Huh.... Then I'll add one of these pink petals to Inventory, having it transfered to bagpack from the one Nuzleaf that got sent to Bill's PC. Will add the second one currently in party when sending the other to PC as well. Feels like herb or something, will do some in-game investigations sooner or later.

I just thought you only meant to Anti Accuracy Debuff property, not the Anti Pain Mod. Guess I'll have to re-work Keen Eye in my campaign to be sufficiently different from Inner Focus but still good then!

Concerning Nathan's parting response to Ventus, if Ven were in a better mood/mindset (assuming he would have said the stuff he did in the first place in that case) he'd probably acknowledge that nicely/respectfully but point out he didn't know what they were doing, and that they could and indeed still did heal Shiva, so his 'interruption' didn't have any meaningful impact in that regard. As of now, he gets ignored and left to sulk, since Ven is not concerning himself with others beyond himself and Shiva, or any critisim they direct towards him.

It feels highly in-chara for Ventus to be so concerned for his dearest friend and not-so-secret love interest to soft-interrupt, and Shiva did appreciate the Heal Pulse. She'll let Nathan go as well though, as she has other problems now.

Yeah, Keen Eye is crazy powerful for what's one of the weakest abilities in the games.  Inner Focus is basically a Keen Eye with a Flinch Immunity in the Celadon Campaign.  Which isn't all THAT significant for the most part, really.  I don't think Keen Eye would really need TOO much of a buff considering how crazy good ignoring Pain penalties entirely is.

...please don't ever say anything like that to Nathan in character.

Neither I or Ventus will (or at least try), since I don't want to make them bitter enemies or ruin things between our characters....well, more so than now, anyway.

Is Ventus actually even paranoid or afraid/displeased by harmless stage magician tricks from Azumarill, Windos? He knows the fae mouse from the very start, meaning from having met here there in top hat after leaving Ginger Town the first time, that's why I'm somewhat wondering. Plus, he once worked with with Azurill to obtain a red rose when he invited Shiva to that dinner in Corsage Port.

He's more 'comfortable' and accepting of Azumarill magician tricks normally, for reasons as you stated, but since he's in a bad state right now his paranoia/fears surrounding magic/arcane stuff are at an all time high. Even when he's normally he probably would be uncomfortable in most circumstance with the mouse using 'magic' on him, like the Flower and Coin Trick. He knows they mean no harm to him, but its hard to get over years of ingrained/conditioned fear, so their might be hiccups in how he acts around non-hostile and familiar magical Pokémon/Fairy types...
