[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

I think I gonna make my moves tomorrow... I have college in the morning so I can't stay very much... I sorry if I stalling the Role-playing....

I don't mind at all, and Dragonstrike probably has stuff outside of our game he wants to do, so its not a hinderance to call it for the night right here. College should be your number one priority, after all, so woe be me if I try and change that!

[Spiritmon]

Thank you guys. You two are awesome. Sleep well everyone! Bye

*stares at Octopath Traveler*

...well, you're not wrong.  *shrugs*

@Spiritmon

Just want to point out that yes, TPK should be QE against these bats. However, they likely all have Inner Focus, so they'll ignore the additional pain in that case. Still not useless since it will give Arial a massive Strength boost regardless, but definitely keep in mind that TPK is not incredibly effective in this battle without putting Arial in a rather risky position. (The gun doesn't do any actual damage, either, which you also have to keep in mind)

Also, what are your Ambush Round actions going to be? Melchior, Zeus, and Arial each get one, single action before any of the bats get to attack. You could use it to buff or get in some free damage.

You right! @Lord Windos I gonna change my post.

Problem is Melchior can't buff himself anymore because he already use Hone Claws and Zeus used Magnetic Flux to raise himself and Melchior in Defense power. Well, Zeus could summon. And buff moves don't stack with each other. Maybe I could summon the Electric Terrain as free action, use Melchior Iron with summon luck to Flinch the Crobat and them use Tobias to cause Pain. Unless there is other way?

Mate, I think you are overthinking things a tad. Just have your Pokémon attack anyone Target (Those Crobats are a nice Example....), and use Tobius to either do Body (For Power boost), Mind (For Confusion/Bad Confusion/Insanity), or Soul/Will (If you want to try and straight up OHKO via no Will) on another Target. It the Mind shot's case, Arial can freely spam it since he's already Insane, so it if you have nothing else useful to do with Tobius….

Well, cause confusion/Insanity on Crobat its nice but Arial will not too receive the Confusion drawback too since any "damage" is feel by the user too? Insanity its not a problem since its normal for Arial.

The Mind Shot's purpose is to drive a target/user to Insanity, and The Confusion/Bad Confusion is a side effect of that process. Since Arial is already Insane and has a broken mind, using the Mind Shot is literally without risk for him. Sorta like how the Body Shot is almost a straight buff for him, really. The  Soul/Will Shot is the only that has a clear cut negative consequence to it, since sapping Will from MOST individuals is dangerous for both the user and target.

Me thinks you are overthinking things still, mate. Either use the gun to get Pain for a Damage Buff, or use it to try and inflict a debuff on one of the bats, which should be piss easy given they are near mindless.

I'll just patiently wait for the ambush round to be rolled out before I work on finalizing Reiner's orders, if you don't mind.
