As long as your sidequest doesn't take forever to happen, I guess I'm okay with that. Fuck you, 6x damage stays.

First, analyze the degree of influence I have over this RP.
Next, consider how my influence would change if, instead of wanting to make it more awesome, story- and gameplay-wise, I had pictures of tentacle rape running through my head.
Would this be a good thing?

Well...

Yeah, I was a little iffy on that myself. But Pierce wouldn't forget to give orders to anyone, and I did make several mistakes for Impact to correct.

Fair enough. Like I said, I'm fine with anything as long as we split credit (for this part, anyway) by, say, 75/25. Because I'm just that self-important.

I'm hoping to have it after yours. And then at least find a better way to justify it, other than "I tied them together and now they're more powerful!"

Well...

Please continue. I'd love to hear what your opinions on the increased sexualisation of this RP are.

Sure. Is the 75% mine?

How about Dragon's 4x damage against Ruin types + Ghost's 2x damage against Ruin types? That's the best I got.

You'll see during Pierce's sidequest.

The only ones with tentacle among PATCA and the Kimonos that I'm aware of is Mollesk and Mika's special technique. *Aside from any grass pokemon with vine whip / power whip in Shannon's team.*

Of course, things can change in the future...

All in favor for a Tentacruel Pokebrid say aye! All not in favor, say nay!
Nay!

[Geminex]

Yeah. That equates to two attacks. Why the fuck should you get two attacks because you've combined two weapons?
But ok, we'll discuss this further later.

Good one. ^^

Aye, provided that it is female and bisexual.

[DanteFalcon]

Post up.

Matt would have a Full Restore and a Chesto Berry. (I believe we have a third item slot which is purposefully left empty)

It's Pierce's equivalent for dual-wielding. You'd get to swing two Dragon Slaves for 8x damage, after all.

Why do you not like dual-wielding? It's nothing we suggested, it's something AB came up with on his own. Stands to reason that AB's giving it to us because he knows it won't be overpowered.

[Menarker]

Renny would have a Full Restore and two Full Revives.

Anyhow, interesting to note that Castform has Psych-up as well. He could feasiably max his attack stat and attack with Zen Headbutt, Leech Life and that sort of thing.

And when I send out Mollesk and start pumping up his DEF and SPEF, you can copy that boost too to make you damn hard to knock out.

I don't understand it myself, it's not like me to reject an upgrade. I just think that the class would be more fun if AB just fleshed out the accessories a bit more, instead of giving them two attacks per turn. Not just because, if they get those two attacks, it'll really be a case of "linear trainers, exponential slayers" (because seriously, they would be above and beyond what trainers can field), but also because Slayers, so far make up for being weaker than trainers in direct combat by being more versatile. For one, they're as effective in single-slot combat as they are in multi-slot combat. For another, being able to pick from any weapon and armor really lets them fight anything. They're more support, at the moment, than they are combat workhorses, and they're fun that way. Giving them two attacks would change that. Give them a few more accessory slots, invent new, fun accessories, maybe give them the ability to do some scouting ahead of time, so they can detect what types they'll be facing, and modify their loadout occasionally. Dual-wielding? That'd just take away their role.
