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

Actually, might want to hold on to that Revive unless it's really needed. Book says Revives also Stabilize wounds upon use, but only restore 1 HP (unless it's the ultra amazing and rare Max Revive, of course). That's another backup plan right there.

For clarification though, @Iron, do Revives only restore 1 HP like the book says in this campaign, or can they restore up to half HP like in the games? I'm not sure this has been properly addressed yet.

If you people...I don't know, would have waited half an hour of fleeing in-game so that we all can take a short break in less danger, me or Heart could chip in and grant one of our Hurtloams so that Ven can keep his only mean to unfaint a Pokemon, but since you haven't and it's too late I think I'll let Shiva lead the ones who aren't doing a Stabilize Check or are involved into it further down the tunnel in order to escape.

It's adressed in the very first post of this MetaThread under 'Miscellaneous' and beside Revives in our Inventory tab.
EDIT: I followed just that when reviving Cottonee during the test of the Eremit and everything was fine.

You can use Insight for medicinal checks that assess a wound or that use unusual strategies to stabilize one.

I...appreciate that, much! Assessing a wound likely will do nothing to heal it though I guess, but unusual strategies can be found. (Shoo, lame thinking-inside the box) But I wonder what would count as an 'unusual' strategy for you, any example or hint? Like, Ventus is naturally tough and a survivalist, while Shiva is on the way to become an expert in a Pokemon's hidden potential with her sixth sense and specialization in Channel-based attacks + nature/using plants to accomplish things, so can some of that be outplayed?

I'd just like some GM clarification here because I don't remember this being fully addressed in the threads.

Well. Now we can confirm Nathan have 0% of focus in priority. No offense Dragonstrike but Heart will not risk everyone safety just because Nathan is acting stubborn again. This is not the cavern of The Sage. Our characters can DIE here. And I surprise Nathan desire so much in meet lady Death so soon. Welp, it was good to know you.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I love it when conflict breaks free at the definitely worst time...not. Woe is me.

Spirit, be a little more insightful if possible, maybe for Nathan it's prority to take care of the injured Pokemon, we have to accept that despite we don't agree with it. We're probably out of mortal danger at the current spot, but if something happens due to their stop I know who'll be to blame.

I'm going to try and ignore some of what's being implied.

And yes, Nathan's priorities are slightly different.  Plus, Ventus is trying to help Nathan right now.  Nathan's also slightly panicing.

This 'unneeded conflict' opens up an interesting possibility, though, so I won't complain about it beyond this for now.

[Spiritmon]

Okay. I not going to talk anymore here. I will just see what going to happen now

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Interesting possibility or not, it's just unecessary to argue here and I don't like it. -_-

I agree.  So Nathan's not gonna argue and instead defer to the specialist's advice.

Seems like something he'd do after what just happened.
