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

[Lord Windos]

*Reads Ability Text*

....If we go off exactly what I wrote awhile back, not only is Kayla's VIT effectively doubled (Did you ever max out that Attribute out at Character Creation? Heck, do you have the PM I sent about Kayla? I seemed to lost mine own copy of that part of things...) , but if said score was used in a Roll it would also be doubled. Alright, let me clear this up a bit:

For Body Press, you simply the Final VIT Score Calculated in the Damage formula. For EX: if Kayla had 2 VIT then got an Iron Defense Boost then 2 VIT -> treated as 4 VIT, the Iron Defense Boost is Doubled and THEN added to her Defense Score (Now *8), and THAT value would be used to calculate Damage for Body Press.

I did find a pm about it where you clarified a bit but it was basically what you just mentioned and I have noted down in my sheet for the ability. 
I can still resent it back to you if you want.

With the current 5 vit/8, (still far from max) I'd end up at 10 in calc +4 with idef for a 14, plan is on then for the *one trick pony*

No, you've provided enough info that resending the info is unnecessary now. Thanks, mate!

The theoretical max Power of Body Press would be 16 VIT + 4 Defense (Iron Defense) + Choice Coat Boost ( [16*1.5] - 16 = 8 ) + 3 Power = 31D6 Base Dice Spammable Attack. Which is not even factoring in ally abilities, Surprises! , or other silly, silly things. Even without a Choice Coat you got a 23 BP Move to work with in the future, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Babies first instance of powergaming achieved, lets gooo

@Dragonstrike , @Redstone , @Pokekitty2

Note about the next Encounter - I'll be pacing and progressing it based on Dragonstrike's posts . I'll factor in any RP that happens the best I can - either into the responses I made towards Dragonstrike's posts/decisions or as follow up post to them - but Seddi is the one driving this whole pow wow. Otherwise I fear that a multi-player post could drag out longer than is intended or needed in this instance.

In the future, if you all chip in a the same Encounter Slot (IE: All of you use one of your Moderate Slots together on a Encounter or series of interconnected Encounters), then I'm giving equal weight, priority, and due response to all of your posts and actions. Hope this clarifies things for you all!

Okay. After eating something and return from college I came to a idea of strategy. But first: Some XP spend!

Persephone: I would like to know how much XP would cost Ominous Wind, Skill Swap and Nastly Plot. Just to make sure how much it would cost before I buy some Stats to be better improved. Note: Some of these moves comes from Gen 7 for reference. I have 114 XP of her.

Fortuna: I thinking in maybe get either Roost since its a nice Self Heal Move, but in if not I think I gonna make sure to level her other stats. Rock, Eletric, Fairy and Ice still a considerely problematic types, but I think increase Insigh could be the right thing to do (for now) since special defense against Fairy and Eletric (a little more common weakness could be done). Rock and Ice could also be dangerous since both of these types have lots of physical moves, but eletric and Fairy is something to be afraid of.

Eris Bethany: Since she can copy one of her partners moves, I think I will choose Life Dew. With this move, I might be able to set a important healing move in the battlefield, and Hecate with some other move like Calm Mind. This will make her stand her ground for a few turns (hopefully). Not to mentioned make a +1 in heal at the end of each round. Also, I gonna give her the weird Spell Tag I found. This will increase her Ghost type moves. And last, she will take the form of Phoxy. Since Phoxy is a pure fairy-type move, it will problably make the enemy not use Dark or Ghost type moves against her, since it will problably not much effective against her.

The ideal plan of battle is: Fortuna, Bethy (in Dite or Hecate form), Persephone and then Hatterene for last. Thats the ideal plan for battle. Just need answer about the moves XP cost.

Persaphone: Ominous Wind for 20 XP , Skill Swap for 35 XP, and 30 XP for Nasty Plot. I would referred back to our past PMs over Character Creation to make sure you're not using this bulk XP for stuff you were saving for later but forgot after so long, though!

Fortuna: 30 XP to learn Roost; remember the XP you and your Mons have earnt from the 'timeskip' , if you have not already added that to your sheet and Mons/PC! INS costs 10 * Current Score to Increase for Mons, FYI !

Bethy: If I said you can Copy Moves before a Battle, then you can do so. If not, you have the time to do so in this case! Illusion Choices and Held Item Noted!

Alright, make your Post ASAP once you have spent your XP (and be sure to note how you did so in the Game Post too, for record keeping's sake) !

Sorry in taking so long to answer mate. Got a busy day. But with that out of the way, gonna work on my next post!

From @Spiritmon -  I must prove my worth as a chosen too. I might not be strong as you guys, but I really want to prove that I not a burden. You can watch the battle if you want.

You know, every time Oz dogs on herself as a Trainer I can't help but laugh. She's got some of the strongest individual Mons out of everyone in the party, and unlike everyone else hers don't overly rely on ramp up/set up (Like Iron Leaves or 'Muse' / Bern) or need more time to grow into their full strength (Everyone else). Hell, she arguably doesn't even need Mega Evolution to pose a series threat to the other protags, if push came to shove. But because she has all the self-confidence of a Whimpod and got into a few bad match ups she thinks she's lacking and has the constant need to prove herself. Makes for good dramady, if nothing else. Hopefully the next fight dispels that notion, even though it won't be an easy one....

Thats the intention! Oz is kinda inspired by Shiva in certain aspects, but in a little more fiercing spirit. Shiva in my opinion was a incredible trainer and really strong in her own way, and to be honest have more confidence than Oz have. She is the archetype of a character who is strong, but doesn't have the confidence on herself. Heck, even before the "events" we talk before, Oz already had a self-confident issue, and after what happened? That increase 10x over. She might be strong in sheer power, but mentality? She is weak. But maybe she grow out of her shell someday and be more confident with covenant of witches.

Before I forget: Extrasensory of Bethy dont cause any damage correct, it can be only used for her to talk correct?

I believe so - I’ll double check later when I’m back on my PC. Going to be working later tonight, so I might not get to finishing thing for a bit.
