Pokemon Umbral Discussion 20: Now With New Discussion Thread Smell! - Page 4

He was trying to spark a conversation with someone else. He wasn't going to stake anything on it, but was trying to see if someone like Matthias at the time had any insight they could provide. Some of the circumstances were rather odd.

Basically, a character would easily find it much easier to earn his trust if they stopped doing something to the effect of "Shut up Bernard!" when said dog is barking at a threat looming around the metaphorical house.

Just saying. :3 I'm pretty certain you got the picture. No offical leader, Renny be easy to get support if you seem earnest in listening to him and you provide good reasons for why you think your idea is the best without accidently revealing something questionable.

Serene Blessing will cost 70/100 RPs. To spread the effect, other characters need 35 RPs for themselves and others, each.

Plenty and Prosperity will cost 50/100 RPs from Renny and Lola both.

You can make those custom items however you like.

Pokemon Alphas are just beefed up Pokemon. In a way, they are actually even stronger than a Pokemon that's been twinked to be as strong as it possibly can. Their attacks are more damaging, their defenses are greater, they even have Abilities and moves they couldn't have any other way. Pokemon Alphas will be much more fearsome in future encounters. Especially when they're legendaries.

If you wanted Rayleen to have seen you, then she did, Pierce. She didn't pay it any mind, though, and she's not about to offer constructive criticism.

Well, Renny neeeds to support Impact for our deal to have its terms fullfilled. There's no strings attached, there, there was no condition "Renny will support Impact only if Impact is extra special nice to him".

Though, of course, perhaps you're just suggesting a good way for Impact to justify getting Renny's support IC. In which case, I might try to follow up on that super-special-nice thing.

What, really? Not even a thumbs up and a little "gee, dude, awesome job boning THE LEADER OF THE FREAKIN' KIMONOS"?

Bastard.

The second thing. :3 I know about the agreement. ^^ Just doing my part as a roleplayer. ^,^

Rayleen might say "Now I know why you're called 'Pierce'."

But that's all you get.

Database is still taking forever, so I'm prioritizing the Battle System Tutorial above all else. That document will detail all of the rules (hopefully I won't have forgotten any made long ago) and give you extensive data on each and every NPC combatant that is current available.

I'm trying to think up a few things right now. First of all, a signature attack. I'm thinking either something heavily offensive with Buck and Spitz, or a support type thing with Hammond and Pike.

2nd, I am thinking about custom items. While Hammond seems like a decent candidate for second leader, I'm actually going to change it to Sol-Leks, so I can give him an Eye-patch of Power accessory.

And thirdly, I'm thinking up a legendary/pseudo-legendary for Charlotte. If I can't find any, then I'll probably just use Suicune.

Geminex · 05-15-2010, 10:25 PM

Why not make it a superlegendary dog? Like, the pokemon that's to Suicune and gang like Lugia and Ho-oh were to the legendary birds?

And Impact's signature technique...
AB, could I get something stats-boosting?

Signature Sequences With Your Favorite Gal

If you've ever wished there was proof of your budding relationship with a certain character, here's a good piece of evidence. A powerful Signature Sequence you share! And you don't even have to have that character in your current DSS setup. We're going to have to discuss this part amongst ourselves, actually. I know Renny would be honored to have a Signature Sequence with Lola, but I'm not certain about the rest of you. Pierce will most likely have one with Shizuka, but since Shizuka isn't going to be with you guys for a while...there's some stuff to iron out, obviously. So, as for you other four guys, you can pick a character to create a SignSeq with based on preference and then tell me what you want to have happen in it. Just know that the overall effect of the SignSeq will determine Rage Point cost and will take Rage Points from the both of you. But if that other character isn't in the setup, no worries. It doesn't cost more to do it that way and you don't have to worry about that character not having the Rage Points.

A question, AB. Is there any reason why this is the case? It seems arbituary because practically punishes the PC for partying with the person they supposably built the relationship with. Like Renny is now really good friends with Lola and it seems a good fit that he builds a special move with her. If he teams up with her in the future, he'll be penalizing his group by using up his Rage and hers instead of just him and no one else if Lola isn't in the group. It's like there is no benefit for being friends with her once you get the move. Romance/befriend her and dump her on the sidelines for cheaper and more effective combat utility. You get my gist?

Maybe make it so only one of them incurs the cost (the PC if he/she is by him/herself), and if they are both together, maybe a special bonus that isn't available if he/she was alone.)

Astral Harmony · 05-15-2010, 10:31 PM

Of course you can, Geminex. Go ahead and Impact a super Libido Power.

And no, I don't get your gist. You're saying you want to spend double the Rage Points to use a SignSeq because the other user isn't deployed?
