Pokemon Umbral Discussion 22: The PCs Have the GM On Lockdown

[Geminex]

Impact would feign all the relevant emotions really well. And hey, this kind of encounter could become routine:

#1: I want to prove to you that I can lead this team.
#2: Kay, I'm leading this team. Give me the rank I need to do it effectively.
#3: Kay, thanks for the rank. Now that we've effectively beheaded Prideguard, we've gained a lot. But our situation is desparate. I think we need to combine the two. Militarise PATCA. Only way we'll survive. And y'know what? I know how to do it. I know what orders to give. What squads to allocate, I can plan it, manage it, administrate it. But I'll need more rank. I'll need obedience, from everyone I clash with, if you want me to finish this in time. Rayleen, I know you question my motives, but goddammit, I'm doing this for the good of Homnyr. I can win this conflict. I can save lives. I can finish this, quickly, easily. Just... just trust me. Please?
#4: God, I can't believe you fell for that. MIND CRUSH.

And Menarker, yeah, that's what I was afraid of originally. But as long as those NPCs don't have much of an influence (like, no riches or political power) we should be fine with our NPA (Non-Playable Army).

And ursurp control of the RP? God no. It would die horribly, I can't write nearly as well as AB. Gritty and troubled is all I'm good at. That, and balancing.
Anyway, I'm fine with Impact's plans for world domination, for now.

[Dracorion]

... Yeah, I think I'll have to make Pierce not trust Impact (except for leading).

Hey, one of my NPCs is already rich! I mean, not like I'll ever use it or anything, but whatever.

[Geminex]

Also, if Second Wind/Gaea takes effect, it's entirely possible for someone to have 150/100 rage points, and be overpumped with rage. As situational and rare as that is, it is a really rare occasion that someone could pay for 150 on their own.
(Also that Slayers have access to a Rage Tank which practically gives them 200 rage, 250 max if they had the tank full, and 150 rage due to Second Wind)

Indeed. In fact, potentially, we could have a 2-Slayer, 500-RP, incredibly awesome SigSeq.
...
Comb Rave, anyone?

And while I'm making PS references, can I just say that unless the RP will at one point in time feature two Snorlax pokebrids, who have a SigSeq named "Double Truffle Shuffle Trouble", I will be SO enraged. Even if they're enemies, I don't care. I just want that to happen. Without having to visualize it.

... Yeah, I think I'll have to make Pierce not trust Impact (except for leading).

Oh COME ON. I'm not that evil!
...
Ok, I am, but I don't act it. And if you don't use your NPCs to support Pierce, I won't use mine to support Impact. Hell, my NPCs will probably stay out of it, even if Elizabeth does start buying Pierce sports cars.

And I'm off to bed. Good night.

[Dracorion]

... Support, how? Elaborate, man!

Also, fun fact: there's a Snorlax Pokebrid in Pierce's sidequest.

[Menarker]

AB? One thing I'm curious about. Sorry if you were going to cover it in your database...

You said before we're getting upgraded after every mission, (although not after side-quests, although mine was an exception for the purpose of system development). Level 6 apparently is when we reach Super Class like Pokemon Breeder (We'd apparently hit level 6 after Mission 4). How many levels of each super class are there to get all their benefits and supposably max that super class?

I'm just asking because according to a past chart that Geminex made, we're all Level 4 right now. So there is still a level of upgrades before any of us would supposably be able to choose to Super Class if we wanted to.

Also, how would an Engineer use an Everstone? I said before...

The Evoliths operate by drawing upon the power of evolution stones right? Well, there are several stones in the games that alter evolution... one of them PREVENTS it, the Everstone...

Would an engineer who tried to make an Evolith out of one of those effectively reverse the process and thus weaken other Evoliths on the field or so?

Geminex thought it was a neat observation, but he said...

The everstone is really interesting, and we might be able to use it somehow. Nicely thought-out.

But make an evolith out of it to weaken the others? I doubt that'd work. We'd need to use them more agressively. Maybe grind one up into an aerosol, and then spray that at evoliths? Wear gas-masks and you've effectively created an evolith-free environment.

Do you have any ideas on what would happen if an Everstone was used?

Also... is it possible for someone to triple-class, like to go Pokemon Trainer for 5 levels if you started as a trainer, Pokebrid for a level or two, Slayer for a level or two, and Demon for a level or two, hell throw in a level of Snagger? Or is such a thing prohibited and we can only have 2 classes and demon? (All assuming we got enough levels)

[Astral Harmony]

An Everstone will end up creating a floating sphere-shaped Evolith that uses Normal type attacks. Well, I'm inclined to think that, but I also think that you guys really wouldn't ever ask for a Normal type Evolith to be constructed. So I may just end up coming up with something else.

An item that can weaken Evoliths might be possible, though.

And you can have a lotta levels in various classes, sure. Renny the Red Mage. Got a ring to it.

And I approve of Geminex's SignSeq.

Renny as Elan, Lola as Haley, Dormond as Durkon, Impact as Roy, Belkar as Pierce. Maybe Aster as V?http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0141.html

[Dracorion]

Y'know, there a bunch of questions you skipped back there, I think. And no, I'm not going to put 'em together for you.

So hop to it, Menarker.

[Menarker]

He only skipped two from what I saw. One which might be explained in a future database but I'll post it here anyhow.

Probably one made by AB or approved by everyone in terms of total awesomeness. I mean, as rarely as they'll be available, it would be neat if for when they did come over, they had the chance to shine brilliantly for a post or two. Hell, if multiple people pay the same cost of 100, the result should take a page to describe the sheer WIN that is the result. ^^

Any chance of that AB?

Hope that sums it up a bit. Leaving for work shortly.

No, there's no chance of SignSeqs with Destroyers. There's no need for them and they wouldn't be anything but neat.

Well, each basic class has five levels. The super classes might have just as much, but that depends on when we actually get that far.

By the way, I think I'm going to have the Kimonos occasionally act like these ninjas. God, I can just imagine the ratings.
