Pokemon Umbral Discussion 16: Should We Throw a Sweet Sixteen Party? - Page 4

Geminex · 05-03-2010, 07:29 AM

I'm wondering, as a full demon, would I get six techniques? Or the standard three? I'll have to discuss that with AB.
In any case, one of my techs would be the "Influence minds" thing, one would be insta-kill mind crush, my third? Not sure yet. I might have Impact get something with Charlotte.

And, of course, we'd need an ultimate sequence in which everyone participates. I'd even be ok with Renny shouting a heartwarming one-lines about friendship and justice right before we do it.

Don't think you should get six techniques. That might be overpowered. Maybe you can get a fourth, though. I mean, as a full demon you'd get fuckin' mind control. As a passive ability. Plus a hell of a stat boost.

As long as our super-Sequence isn't actually powered by friendship and justice, because then Charlotte's presence would just fuck it up.

And Impact ain't very innocent either.

I'm pretty sure one of mine will be Pierce literally going nuclear.

Fair enough. I'd be ok with 4.

Well no, but it might be fun for Renny to pretend.

Literally? As in, he initiates a nuclear reaction and vaporises himself and everything around him in a huge, destructive blast?
...
Cause I'd totally support that.

Not that I think you should get a fourth. I'm just saying I'd be slightly less outraged with you getting four than six.

Yep. And he's right next to Impact when it happens.

But no, it'd be more like Pierce being engulfed with energy, launching himself at the opponents and exploding.

Critical damage to four targets, Pierce is left with 1 HP, the efficiency of healing items on Pierce is halved on the turn this is used.

I forget, what Signature Techniques did we come up for Charlotte? I remember you came up with the werewolf change, and I came up with Kick The Puppy.

What was the third one? A pack attack with her dogs?

Yeah, that was the first one I thought of. What was "Kick the Puppy" gonna do again? I remember something about debuffs and pretty good damage on a single target, but I've thought of something else:
Let's make it as strong as a standard attack, but, if it kills something, the enemy's morale drop significantly and all enemies get debuffed. Because they're all amazed at how cruel she is.

I already pretty much thought of my Signature Techniques for when I go Half Demon (Renny will probably be one of the last one of the group to do so since he's getting the Pokemon Breeder stuff first.)

No, I'm not sharing them with anyone except AB when the time comes. ^,^

Planning to have Renny age a few years as a result of it though.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-03-2010, 10:57 AM

While I'm undecided on most signature techniques, Kick the Puppy is definitely one I like. The premise of it was that Charlotte would kick a single enemy, they would take a lot of damage, and most of their stats would drop a couple stages.

And I'm currently devising Charlotte's sidequest. I plan on it being after Impact's, and before Mattias's.

Although time may be a restraint at that point. I'm going to be working as a Counselor in Training at a camp this Summer, as a staff member, I'll be free on week-ends, but I probably won't be around as much for a while. Curse my lack of a laptop.

Kick the Puppy: Charlotte walks up to an enemy and kicks it in the face. Does more damage the less HP the target has, and decreases all stats by two stages.

If we wanted to add your idea, I'd make it something like: Does more damage the less HP the target has, decreases the target's stats by three stages. If the target dies, all enemies' stats are decreased by one stage. Morale decrease rate is accelerated.

It doesn't work like that.

Well, the Magatama screws up with the aging process according to the Kimonos. Mika for example is stuck at her 12 year old stage. The other ladies are over hundreds of years old, so naturally they either stopped aging or age very slowly.

Figured I would have Renny end up with one that aged him up a little before locking him in or something. ^^; If that's possible at all. Just a whim of mine to speed up maturity a little by the end or so. It's not something I'm concerned about at all at this point. :3

Dracorion · 05-03-2010, 11:15 AM

Even if Magatamas could do that, I think the Kimonos' maturity has more to do with the fact that they've all lived for hundreds of years rather than the Magatamas aged them up a little.

The Magatama could turn Renny into an eighty-year-old geezer, but he'll still have the mind of an eighteen-year-old.

Aging him up makes little sense. Sounds to me like an attempt to make a Lola/Renny relationship age-appropriate and less weird!
