Remove the bit about buffs and it's okay.

Remove the bit about the stat boost.

Seriously, it feels like you're trying to go all over the place with these techniques.

Two free armors and making normal interchangeable giving you basically an extra one just seems excessive.

I think you should pick one.

In the case of pokemons however, trying to give them 1.5x rage generation turns their 5 rage into 7.5 rage. Dealing with decimals are a pain in the ass. If we rounded the 7.5 up to 8 though, we'd have a similiar problem. Thus my rounding so that every 2 attacks is worth the same as one normal slayer attack instead of dealing with weird numbers like 9. It's marginally benifical and mainly for book-keeping purpose.

Meh. It's 14 + 14. We're talking simple math. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't give AB any trouble at all, or otherwise impair him from doing other stuff, to keep up.

Besides, everyone ELSE is doing it straight 7 and it WILL confuse him if he has to fudge around with you.

Just taking a page from your book a bit. You have an ability that reduces the cost of everything you do by 5. I made a more specific one that is more potent. 15 reduction that only works for accessories. Not for divide/focus, not for signature techs, not for paradigm shift. [/QUOTE]

Mine was balanced with respect to my other upgrades.

The idea is fine itself, but 15 is too low.

The extra power comes from the accessories. And it is only one extra accessory more than slayers normally get.

Sigh.

I'm still not for this, but I'll wait for Gem's opinion.

I figured it would be flavorful due to Renny's generally merciful nature and he doesn't have any techniques of his own which could take advantage of it.

Myeeeehhhh.

Not particularly big, but again it feels like you're trying to go all over the place.

By the way, I forgot to mention before: No Black and White abilities.

Anyway now I'm worried I'm nerfing you too much. Gem, thoughts?

EDIT: How the hell did I not notice that ICT gives you free Focus?
