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

[Iron]

As the move's power goes up, so does the cost of making it a spread move. Stone Edge is strong but it's just damage, so 25XP. Giga Drain healing from up to six foes? That's massively powerful. Maybe it could heal from just one foe and damage the rest? 15XP.

Sludge Bomb 42XP.

Upgrade Future Sight to a Charge Move (it wouldn't have protection) for 35XP. Might also have roleplay implications.

You can estimate the costs of the steel type moves, just add 10 or 20 to the normal cost of the move depending on how strong it is.

Doubling up on really good abilities is gonna be at least 60XP. That combo should probably be even more.

I like the idea of Huge Power making Str Surprises cheaper, I think I'll apply that for free.

Note about Future Sight (and Doom Desire) in the games: only one delayed hit can be active at a time for each side of the battlefield.

Whether that also applies to Pokerole is up to the GM, of course.

Fair prices overall, mate! I'm perfectly fine with Giga Drain only healing from one foe, though the question remains whether it'll be one random foe, the one it did the most Damage to, or I have to select a main target. I'm probably going to start working on upgrading Mikey's Stone Edge for now on, since it's his main coverage Move and it can stand to be a bit more potent/reliably. How much would an 1 Accuracy Boost to it cost by itself?

Probably going to stick with the method we used to determine how much a Pokemon can learn Egg Moves/Non-Movepool Moves then for Steel Move Additions, then, as that's a pretty simple and fair method of going about that.

If you think it Drizzle + Absorb should be more, just raise it by another 15 - 30 XP, mate. It's not like Posei has much to spend his hard earned XP on anymore, besides upgrading his Moves, learning new Ones from his past forms, or just Attribute/Specialty Surprises. Make it worthwhile for you AND the players!

Nice! How would that work for Mega Mawile, though? Would they have to be Mega Evolved in order to gain the benefits, or once they have access to their Mega Form can it be assumed they just get the cost reduction anyway for convenience's shake?

I'm fine with it if it's two different Pokemon.

1 Accuracy is basically like saying +1 Fight, so 25XP. 

For Mega Mawile I'd probably go the convenience route, but I suppose you could earn further discounts by making it apply only while Mega.

[Lord Windos]

Note with Arete: If I recall correct, I thought you said that they couldn't/didn't get XP due to their nature as Legendary Pokemon, and that instead it grew in power based on how it is modified/as you demanded? In that case, shouldn't Mikey's and Sari's XP shares by larger to reflect that...?

Uh....I was asking for more a + 1 Accuracy for Stone Edge ONLY, not a general + 1 Accuracy/Fight. Thanks for the general price, though!

Hmm....I'll have to think on that for a bit. I'll get back to you when M.M. is ACTUALLY avaliable to Terra, if ever.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'll note these costs, thank you. ^v^ WAIT A MOMENT THOUGH Iron, is it still possible that I recton that +1 Channel Suprise before you'll roll it out in the current battle, aka returning it to XP? ...Probably not, right? ^_^;

Yeah you can retcon it. I'm rolling now so I'll just reduce by one.

That's generous, thank yooouuu ( ; ω ; ) I have removed it both from charasheet and the in-game post.

I remember something about a +1 Strength for Azu costing 40XP?~ The hugepower'd fae rabbit has 22XP at the moment, but I guess I'll save for a bit before spending things out of a whim.

[Lord Windos]

Alright, assuming everyone just took a $40000 share of the Loot from the Chasm instead of leaving it all to Terra, Spira has quite the treasure to work with getting those Items from Merchant Sneasil, so I'd recommend he'd get what they offer/see the rest of their stock if they could afford it. Also, could Terra or the other charas. pay the MS a visit, if Spira reveals the big black panther to everyone? I'd like to get the chance to interact/'buy' stuff from it, now that's its been revealed, as they're a lot of potential goodies to be had with it. Of course, that would eat up time/Encounters, but on the upside that means someone else could go after that Rare Item if we stick in the area just to buy stuff from MS.

Oh, it's true he doesn't gain XP. However, the shares aren't any larger, because Arete still did a portion of the work.
