Gem is like a bro to me, but I'll admit, he seems to like being in charge a bit too
much.

As Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy put it, 'People who want to be in charge are the last people who should be put in charge.'

Thanks for clarifying AB about the speed thing.

And got a few more questions.. sorry.

Doesn't the Paradigm Shift ability looks pretty damn expensive? I mean, you can't even use a Sync Tech unless you're in shifted form, and in order to use it, you're pretty much required to have 100 RP, regardless of the move's power. I mean I know there are a bunch of stuff like STAB boost, immunity to status and such, but when one of your major features cannot even be used unless you're maxed out, it looks a bit weak when compared to other class with Sync-techs like trainers and slayers who aren't required to be in a particular form to use their special move.
Maybe edit it so that Sync Techs can be used in or out of form, but it becomes more potent or have an additional neat trick when you're Shifted? Or make it so Shifting has an upkeep, and you have to pay the rage upkeep for every turn you're shifted? Like 20 rage on first turn, 20 rage on second turn, 20 rage on third turn unless you choose to abort the shift in the middle or something.

For confusion, can I hope/assume that if a foe is confused and it fails to hit its desired target, that the target it does hit will always be favorable? (IE: If it tries to hit Renny and it instead suffers from confusion, I hope it doesn't just hit Pierce instead. But rather that it'll hit itself or one of its own allies) because that status already got weakened a bit by having it snap out of confusion when hit directly.

EDIT: *Shrug* Sorry Drac. I had read the article on Craig Venter, and I thought of changing the name a little. Elizabeth Venter? You hoping for something that sounds smooth or something tough sounding or something?

Beats the hell out of me. I don't know if Venter or Vanier are smooth or tough. Still, smooth is probably the best choice.

Visara? Azami? Treva? Teysa? Savra? Lucretia? Meribek? Mayael? Caleria?

I'm just pulling names out of trading cards games now...

Dracorion · 05-22-2010, 08:59 PM

No. Yeah, no.

Y'know what? Fuck it, consider our deal broken, come up with whatever kinda reparations you want me to make, but Pierce isn't supporting Impact for leadership anymore.

Oh no you don't, you little bitch. We have a deal. We spent ages negotiating it. You will abide by it.

I mean, honestly, people! What's the big problem? So I want to be in the lead. A lot. I'm still trustworthy!

Or not. Yeah, not. Sorry man, I don't like it either. But this is too big. Come up with reparations as you see fit. Also, might wanna take this to PMs, 'cause it's probably going to be a looooong discussion.

AB, are Pokebrids able to hold pokemon items like Leftovers or what not? If so, are they able to equip items from Leader pokemons (if they shift to pokemon trainer or such)? I remember way back when Dante said his character wasn't holding an item on purpose so he could use Thief.

I still only choose to hold 2 of 3 items so that Thief remains a viable option. A Full Restore and a Chesto Berry.

On a completely unrelated note there are three months out of the year when Matthias mysteriously vanishes. And by that I mean he has someone lock him inside his house with lots of supplies.

I meant In battle Held items, not single use on command healing items like the ones you mentioned.
