Pokemon Umbral Theatre 37: Setting the Standard In Having Low Standards

[Menarker]

Oh gawd, this sounds like the sort of pokemon Liz or Rosa or any other perverted character would grab, just to induce sudden nudity.

Oh sure, Mr. Serene Blessing. Just Elizabeth and Rosa.

Anyways, I think I finally have everything I want to have on this new laptop transferred over. Assuming there's no sudden work requests this weekend (I could always refuse those but I'd be a fool to turn down overtime hours of any number), I should make those two RP posts and handle a few other things on the side.

Edit [Nov 6 2014]: Lateness of the posts due to long work hours and the additional chores that come with breaking in a computer. Instead of telling me about the processing specs on the box, I would have preferred that the box mention that Microsoft Works doesn't come with Windows 8 and I'd like to strangle everyone who thought that made any sense not to include it just because it's been discontinued. Of course people are still going to use .wps files!

Also, I will admit that I got distracted playing Sword Art Online -Hollow Fragment- (Silica is kawaii incarnate) and Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. Senran Kagura may be about hot anime chicks fighting and destroying each others' clothes, but I'm more interested in how Japan keeps stretching and stretching the defining scope of 'ninja'. I though ninjas were supposed to be silent and stealthy covert infiltration and assassination specialists who meld with the shadows, not flashly over-the-top out-and-out brawl...ergh, whatever. Maybe I'm just overthinking things again. Besides, I don't think I have room to talk when I've got the pink-wearing Pizza who brandishes an electrically powered industrial pizza cutter and the assault rifle and carbon steel machete-toting Tomoe.

If you need a writing program, OpenOffice is available to download for free.

And ew, I heard several not so good things about Microsoft 8. Like the intrusive search method that borders on spying and that the sort of games that you like to install/play don't run so well on it (Older ones mainly). I hope you have decent luck with it.

I will probably have Renny's post done tomorrow. Most likely, anyways.

Shit, that bear is tanky. Odd that Toxic didn't interact with the final layer of affliction upgrade syrup, though I guess Toxic is already an upgraded affliction. Though its fine with the battle slipping more under Donovan's control.

I'm tempted to suggest combining that status affliction boost potion with Attract for shit and giggles. Best goes to worse, you get a bear minion with only occassional attempts to gnaw on your cranium.

I don't even know the bear's gender, nor do I want to risk the worst case of it actually working.

I'll probably work on stalling the bear side using evasion boosts and debuffs, as well as abusing the health fluid.

Too bad Charlotte AKA Madame Ursaring isn't with us anymore. She'd probably aid you just so she could get a matching pelt for a jacket or trophy.

About the only upgrade I can think of for Bad Poison would be Ninja Poison, but the upgraded effects of Ninja Poison (can only cure itself after the target dies and causes Deathlock for Tx1D4 upon death) don't really apply since Rodger won't be revived upon death anyways.

Don't forget that other units can apply the same status effects to the same target. Notice on Rodger's place in the order phase that "Don" appears before the status effects. If Calisto can apply Bad Poison to the target, then Rodger can suffer the effects of two bad poisons each Upkeep. The max for all afflictions is 3 each, so go nutburgers on that bear.

...Donovan and the undead bear. He wouldn't be able to keep Rodger in the building because of the stench and unsanitary conditions and I imagine that before battle, he'd have to drive out and fetch him either from the nearest beehive or human victim whose brain he's chowing on.

EDIT: Just some notes about Donovan's post before I head off to work (sorry, no Renny post, ergh)...

The intensity, or level, of Bad Poison's effects will max out at Lv 6, in which case it will be doing six times the damage of a Lv 1. The damage can only then be further increased by buffing Donovan's Atk and/or SpAtk statistics since the Affliction Formula still applies on every turn.

Evoliths only require 4 AP to attack (otherwise, I don't think Kiyomi would've had enough AP to have her Evolith and herself attack on the same turn). I will also see if I can spend some time coming up with actual statistics for each Evolith (probably similar to what I'll figure out for the Megevo Pokemon).

When the Spectral Evolith attacked the table, I applied a 30% shatter chance to each potion, and a 50% chance when Kiyomi attacked it. With the table destroyed and all that shit now on the floor near the table, only an AoE attack or some other Strategem Shift would allow one to attack multiple bottles.

Something I just noticed now and should point out, Donovan's synchtechs don't have rage costs listed on them, since I think they were balanced back when there was a baseline rage cost for those moves (I think 50 or 60 rage, 10-12 equivalent in the current system). Looking at the current guide it lists that synchtechs have variable rage cost.

Do you remember what those were supposed to be, or if we should look over the techs again to see if they need to be assigned individual costs?
