Pokemon Umbral Discussion 21: We'll Get To Mission 3 Eventually...

[Bard The 5th LW]

Everyone is just filled to the brim with Spite today. Like, enough to power a nuclear generator.[badpun]Or enough to fill a nuklear discussion thread.[/badpun]

[Dracorion]

Charlotte sure has a lot of bitches.

[Bard The 5th LW]

The lists were originally going to be on her character sheet, but I find it easier to just update them as it goes.

[Menarker]

Ok, so I'm just mostly finalizing the special moves, custom items and such that AB said we're all getting.

Custom Item 1: Defender's Crest
Effect: Every 3 turns, the entity that has this item equipped can do an extra action. This extra action (which can be in any order) cannot inflict direct damage to a foe.

*Still thinking hard on what I want my second item to be.*

Pokemon Co-op: "Serene Blessing"
Cost: 70/100 for Renny. Additional costs may be paid by allies in sets of 35 rage.
Description: Renny and Togekiss are so synced in their harmonic and peaceful relationship, their powerful example create a radius of happiness and good fortune. Such luck is so powerful it can cause attacks targetting them to miss or be utterly ineffective. Those who becalm themselves and thus spread the peace and harmony expand the aura and its protective power.
Effect: Renny and Togekiss become covered under the influence of an unbreakable Protect while still able to perform all their other actions for the turn. Allies of Renny in the same battle can expend 35 rage for each ally that they wish to apply Protect while still able to perform their move for the turn.

Lola Team-Tech: Prosperous Gifts
Cost: 50/100 Rage if used by oneself. Alternative method of payment of 25 from Renny and 25 from Lola if both are on the field.
Description: Renny and Lola well-wishes for their allies comes in the form of gifts. Even a single gift can sustain the well-being of several friends! If used with an offensive item, foes will do well to fear their gift of supportive firepower.
Effect: This counts as an item use action. Choose a single item. Its effect is applied to as many allies or foes on the field as desired, keeping its full effect for each and every one. Thus one Full Restore will heal the entire party entirely. Supreme Upgrade will give EVERYONE 3 stages boost to all stats (Those with Simple ability like Mollesk get 6 to all stats!). Suppressive Haze will knock off 25 rage from all foes. Since it requires said targets to be on the field, pokemons that are recalled don't get the effect. Effect may be drastically reduced for revival items.

[Dracorion]

So Plenty and Prosperity is Renny and Lola picking an item and using it on all allies or foes? Did I get it right?

[Menarker]

Yup. Simple enough. (The name was just edited btw to "Prosperous Gifts") Ever played Wild Arms 3? Virginia's special ability in essence. Although technically, the move allows you to apply it UP to the maximum. So they could skimp on giving it to someone in particular if they feel it would be disadvantagous for some reason. More often than not, the entire party will benefit though.

For example: Using 1 Full Restore in a party of 6 (Renny and perhaps Lola included) will end up giving the full effect of Full Restore to all 6.
Naturally, like Lola's Sexy Party, the more conscious fighters in the party, the better.

Much reduced for revival items, since it would be UTTERLY unfair if Renny and Lola was by themselves and everyone else was knocked out, and they just did the signature move with Max Revive and revived the entire freaking party...

[Dracorion]

AB, about this:

- You can only switch positions with your Enforcer at the start of the Ally Phase.
- Specialists do not have their own Enforcers, and thus cannot switch.
- Consider the character in the formation to be in the Vanguard while the character that is switched out is in the Rearguard.
- On the first turn, a character in the Rearguard will recover from any status effect (including being defeated, but with only one HP for recovering from defeat.
- On the second turn, that character will recover all of his/her health.
- On the third turn, you will have 100/100 RPs if you were defeated and 50/100 RPs added to your total if you were not.
- Enforcers will automatically switch in if you are defeated at any time.

How does it apply in corridor battles, like back at the mansion? Will Enforcers be fighting on the backside? Will the only ones able to switch sides be PCs and Enforcers? Do we still get the bonuses every turn for staying switched?

Also, can we say custom items (or at least Pierce's custom items) like they were special orders by PATCA to Ricewood Masterworks for the use of the PCs? And can we handle their delivery ourselves? Because I've got plans for Aria's Lightning Gun that don't involve getting it tomorrow.

EDIT: And Menarker, don't think I haven't noticed that you avoided the subject when I exposed your evil plan to gain the favor of all the girls in the RP and have more scenes like the one back at the party.

And yes, there will be retribution.

[Menarker]

Oh, that? I had no control over that. I never expected AB to actually make the girls volunteer to sleep with Renny. Being nice to the NPCs and making them trust him is one thing and quite reasonable. Getting scenes like that is totally out of my control. I can't base a plan on randomness. Little point on discussing it.

Custom Item 1: Defender's Crest
Effect: Every 2 turns, the entity that has this item equipped can do an extra action. This extra action (which can be in any order) cannot inflict damage or target a foe. (Approved by AB)

I might protest this a bit. Your original proposal (the AB-approved one) said 2-3 turns. I'd feel better if you made that 3. I'm iffy about that item anyway, because there's so much very annoying stuff you can do with it.

[Dracorion]

Oh please, yes you can.

I mean, what's the downside? Either you get in the good graces of all the chicks, or you get in the good graces of all the chicks and end up sharing a bedroom with them.

Yeah, don't do it.
