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

[Iron]

Yep, those are up too.

And I moved Swords Dance to Gustav for Heart.

Oh! And I was just about to bring up battle orders, but it's cool that you're giving us a chance to react and decide what we'd like to do and which foes to fight. \(^_^)/

Well, I'm most interested in moving further and take on the Real/Prime Deoxys (the rainbow-gem'd one doing highly gruesome things to innocent Pokemon, I hate it for conducting those (ﾒ` ﾛ ´) ) as soon as we can, in the intention to save resources for that exemplar and in the hope that defeating them will have a benefitial effect for our side on the clones. Marco also said he's going to take on any clones that may be a danger for us Artifact Wielders - the Yellow, Blue and Green ones that have noticed us - and I'm trusting him on that. There's also the few Legendaries that we could ask to take on so that we can handle the Real Deoxys!

I also kinda want Kelda and Genie working together further on destroying that makeshift-tower of electronics that traps formless Pokemon, which means getting closer all together.

(...)Kelda and Cosh together can keep a buff active even when switching battlefields, due to Kelda's speed and Cosh's rearranging ability. But this takes their actions to do, and then another action to return, and so on. Initiative definitely stay the same if you take advantage of this.(...)

But, from what I'm reading in this, this means that our buffs are nullified as well, unless we 'trade' keeping them up for Cosh and Kelda taking all their Actions to keep them up.

Quite honestly, I'm in favour for this, and compromise that if things are getting critical, those two change tactics to directly participate in the fight by attacking again.

While I do agree we should gun for the Prime when manageable, I also don't want anyone to be completely overwhelmed by enemies.  I'm willing to be that as soon as the Prime becomes involved ALL of the clones are going to be alerted to the danger.  We should approach this carefully if at all possible.

I still don't think we should split up, either.

Given that there's 6 clones now...I'm considering bringing out Princess.  As soon as she summons that swarm, though, she's probably going to have a giant target on her, and that might also alert a larger number of clones.

[Dragonstrike]

The Plot Device damage is correct, as the Deoxys' regeneration/shield cancels out the Super Effective.

Could I get some clarification on what exactly happened with that and how much damage was done wiyh each hit, please?  I'm honestly having a hard time following it atm.

[Iron]

Each supereffective hit was worth one point of Plot Damage. Deoxys clones benefit from the Massive HP Pool rule that Steelix and Milotic and so on use.

On a normal, mortal Pokemon, each supereffective hit deals 2 PD. That does not seem to be the case with the clones.

I guess there's no real reason to keep it a secret - a nonsupereffective hit on a clone with the Sword will deal 25% of the clone's max HP. (roughly equivalent to half a PD). Nathan doesn't know that yet though.

[Spiritmon]

So even if we all use super effective attacks, it will barely cause any damage at all. Even with the increase power of the Dark Plate. And the Frozen Roar cannot even scary then because the fear effect only works by Pokemon hands (who do not make sense at all since it reads the fear effect and the Helping Hand effect. It didn't mention the fear effect only works in Pokemon hands). Imagine the little damage we will cause against Defense Deoxys. It's like...a bug trying to bite a Wall. With tentacles who control minds.

[Spiritmon]

"This item is called the Frozen Roar, and has kinship with the Adamant Sphere. It's the roar of a Legendary Pokemon imprisoned in metal. A Pokemon holding it can use Frozen Roar as a Canalize move. If successful, it makes any non-legendary Pokemon flee (up to six at once). Alternatively, a trainer can hold it and give a fierce rallying cry to their Pokemon as a Trainer Action, which works like Helping Hand (no roll)."

Forget what I said. We doom because I was a idiot for not ready the damn effect.

[Iron]

You can swap it between battles.

And the non-Sword move that dropped Deoxys still dealt Supereffective damage. It's only the Sword that's affected. (Deoxys just has a very large hitpoint pool, so it will still be a bit like a bug chewing through a wall).

Hmm....I had a idea.
@Dragonstrike
@Lord Windos
Fury Cutter power up by the sword prove to be super powerful. Maybe we could use Frozen Roar to power up the already power up Plot Device damage, and even hit more foes with Grid attacks.
Or as a alternative, Windos, Genie Fissure is a one hit attack correct? Can I could increase the Accuracy of your attacks to make sure it will hit. Gonna wait your orders before sending mine to decide how use the Frozen Roar.

[Dragonstrike]

Unfortunately, a normal Helping Hand boost wouldn't typically buff the damage of a PDed move nor an OHKO.  Neither roll for damage, so giving them more damage dice wouldn't necessarily do anything.

Buffing Fissure's accuracy could possibly be super duper useful, though.
