[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Very well then! Beware my compilation of questions concerning the casting of Spells, and saying a heartfelt thankyou~ for reading and answering it all:

1. I've gathered all info you gave me about the casting and creation of Spells as a Scimitar in the 'Alchemy and Magic'-tab of Bernhard's charasheet. When you've got the time and mind, can you please give it a review whether it's all correct and edit/update if needed? It seems like a lot of info at first, though I tried to summarize and rehearse things as best as possible without undermining important things.

2. Can I use the move of one Pokemon as an Evocation Spell as the first Action, and then the move of a different Pokemon as an Evocation Spell as the second Action? Does this count as using two Pokemon in a fight? However since Bernhard does not participate in sanctioned Trainer Battles where it's 1vs1, no one can tell me I can't go 2vs1 if the foe is a particularly strong or dangerous wild 'Mon.
Example: First Action is Nasty Plot by Myra cast on me, second Action is Dazzling Gleam by Nirix cast and targeted on the foe.


3. Who is targeted by the foe if I choose to defend myself via Evocation Spells, is it me directly (Read: Bernhard takes damage) or does the damage automatically get redirected via the Gauntlet on the Pokemon connected to it, even if they're balled away?
Example: I'm making use of Zephy's moves via Evocation Spells, so any damage the foe deals is done to Zephy.


4. You said something about 'drawing upon the well of SPE Power you share (Determining how much SPE you dedicate to the Casting)' when explaining how Magic works for me, as well as 'you're able to comfortably wield The Special Power your Partner Zephy gives in anything you do with min. consequences in most cases' during Bernhard's Mini-Prologue - Is that related in any sense or is it not and meant when it comes to alchemistic creations solely? Can I channel more SPE than the Pokemon actually has into an Evocation Spell; and if that's indeed possible, what are consequences of doing so?
Example: I'm using Nirix's Dazzling Gleam as an Evocation Spell, he has 2 SPE. Can I burrow more SPE from Myra to cast a stronger Dazzling Gleam?


5. Does the Accuracy Roll of a move used as an Evocation Spell remain true and to be calculated, or are there different houserules or dicepools to be calculated?
Example: Using Zephy's Air Slash as an Evocation Spell for the first Action, Accuracy would be all her + Bernhard's Stats combined: 7 Dext (4 from Bern, 3 from Zephy) + 5 Fight (3 from Bern, 2 from Zephy) + 7 Channel (4 from Bern, 3 from Zephy) - 2 Actions = 17d6

2. As a mostly advanced and master Scimitar, you can free use all the Mons Moves that are connected you your Guantlets, bar shenanigans.
3. One of your Mons in the Guantlet takes the Damage ( you choose which one first) , until it’s Fainted or you ‘switch’ to another (Takes a free Action) . You get STAB and parts of their mechanics while the are ‘in’ (the Mon taking DMG
4. Yes, but doing so puts more strain on G . and can tire you out more. I’ll get into it more when actual Spells are cast!
5. Yes, but the ex you provided only works with Zephy. The typ formals for Moves is Combined SPE + Your Skill + Average of you and the Mon’s Specialty unless said otherwise.

The only outstanding Day 2 thing Seddi has to do still is introductions with Kusanagi, so starting day 3 shouldn't be disruptive.  Eager to get the ball rolling so Seddi and Sada can give everyone the lowdown on their research mission and we can start prepping for Ianai's trial (:

I'll note all of that, thank you, dear!  ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)chu Especially pleased with the answer of No.2, that opens the door to wild and powerful combinations. If I do happen to get anything wrong when combat comes up, pleade do correct me then!

I ready to start the new day. Let's begin!

Edit: I even have the next on mind when Oz is sleeping and when she is wake up.

People, I do have a question: This will be the last campaigh we gonna use the Pokerole system correct? If yes, then its still gonna exist RPG campaighs in the rpg section around here, or it will just end? And if this place still continue to exist and have more adventures, what other systems you people think we could use? Something with the Pokemon essence, or something else? What you people think? Because, I think the Pokemon world still can have a lot of stories to tell, but I would like to hear the GMs and Players around here.

I don’t think a stoppage of Pokerole would really slow us, if we're determined. I, for one, intend on role playing with y’all for about as long as you can stand me, and I’m hip to use new systems or even make up our own.

I’ve long-term aspirations of DM’ing, though we’ll see how those pan out :P

Well, for me, I will still kicking in these forums, even if we didnt use roleplay session anymore. But the possibility in see more rp places around here makes me trully happy. For me I will play that game too when you gming my friend.

Right then.  Do we want to do the 'everyone else meets Sada' in encounter 1 or encounter 2? Need to squeeze that, the Survival Center tour (encounter 2 or 3?), and Ianai's Trial (encounter 4 with Dodger, Oz, and Bernhard) in today. Seddi is going to have exactly 1 encounter free today if nothing else comes up (it'd be nice for things to slow down a little given how quickly it went into high gear).

Re: Sylvia: if Sylvia wishes to ask Seddi about Paradoxes, expect some questions from the cowboy before he decides whether to explain things in more detail!

Well, I was planned to Oz have a conversation time with Bernard in day 3 since it was something me and Phantom was interested in do. But with most of the shops closed that might makes things a little difficult...

Your thoughs on that @PhantomUnderYourDesk?

I think you should be able to squeeze that in somewhere.  The Survival Center tour is technically optional if you need to skip out on something.  Probably not going to be heading out into the actual wilds soon, so discussion of potential purchases could be made later.

The only ones where attendance has been expected are 'meeting Sada' (she'd prefer to explain things once.  Seddi can update Sylvia separately later if she can convince him to do so) and Ianai's trial (has to be encounter 4, was told to meet up with her tonight at the latest.  Only Bernhard, Oz, and Dodger are expected to come with Seddi to this one)
