Pokemon Umbral Theatre 9: Ode to Gardevoir...Yes, Again.

[Menarker]

Interesting stuff. Some people (Laurith and Mio) missing their callsigns, but that's nothing urgent at all.

An interesting one for Laurith would be "Mermaid". :3 If you recall, in the Little Mermaid, she sold her voice to the sea-witch in a semi-Faustian deal to switch her fish half to human legs so she would have a chance of living up above the sea and being with the prince. Since Laurith is mute and has 2 water type forms, it seems fitting.


In regard to Twilock... considering his ability would be super powerful on Mollesk, you might say they are best buddies. Shadow Reinforcement for +4 to all stats instead of just +2? Double Attack used with Power Trick? Fun Stuff!

Gem, can I assume that in regards to your Ultimate Warlord ability, if someone tries to attack your bodyguard and knock them out in one turn and still have actions left over, they could proceed to attack you because you don't have time to switch enforcers?



Also, any thoughts on who you want as your enforcer and whom you would want for the group's second speciality slot?

I'd personally suggest Mika for our Shock Trooper. She's powerful, her pokemon is almost indestructible except for Bug, Ghost, Dark and a few choice attacks, and she'll gain a boost if/when we encounter Pierce's group and Shizuka uses her aura to give every Kimono in formation a +2 boost to all stats.




Hehe, and I was thinking that if Charlotte becomes a slayer this mission, she might consider bringing Lucian along. Just because she's the only PC who'll directly benefit from his "Protector of all Women" thing. Expect some crazy antics to ensue. =P
Speaking of Lucian, his pokemons certainly do not match his earlier impression of vicious power with that 3 headed axe and the entire Cerberus theme... in fact, with their cuteness and his overall personality and protection, he's really similar to Renny. (Although Renny doesn't discriminate with gender)

I... don't think Twiloch's buff should combine with Mollesk's Simple ability.

Because fuck you that's why. Or would you like me to elaborate?

Also, what do you need Double Attack for? Mollesk already has an item for that!

More importantly, those moves might be better suited for, y'know, other people. I know Mollesk would be the last combatant to get Double Attack.

Anyway, Menarker, remind me which characters you've already decided on for your team?

[Menarker]

Lola as Medic and Whitney as my enforcer. Still waiting for Gem's imput on his enforcer and whom the other person would be, although I figured Mika would be a suitable choice.

And Twiloch's ability is a straight out Stat buff. Thus Mollesk benefits it from it. Period. That's the exact nature of Simple. All stat gains and loss that would be applied to him is doubled. I swear, enough with the Mollesk hating. You especially said you would never trash talk him again after how I tried to help buff up your custom demon-pokemon.
Also, that item only works on the third turn and it must be a non-attacking move. Power Trick with real double attack would be awesome, especially if it's Rock Slide for AOE damage. ^^

[Dracorion]

Eh, I was probably lying, or not serious at all.

And did you help? I mean, I guess you might have given me some pointers on the ability.

Oh, okay. So basically on the third turn you want to be able to use Power Trick and then Double Attack?

Yyyyyeaaaaaahhhhh...

[Menarker]

No, I advocated that Tsumji should have stats similar to a psuedo legendary because it doesn't have any manner of doing consistantly high damage with STAB or Super Effective Attacks. Thus in order to keep its attack power on par with the rest of the high end attackers, it should have higher base power.

And you seemed pretty sincerely grateful for that until Gem shot that idea down at the time... which is totally not my fault.

[Dracorion]

Oh, right.

Now I remember.

Yeah, I wasn't serious. I mean come on! I was grateful, just not that much.

[Geminex]

Because fuck you that's why. Or would you like me to elaborate?

Allow me.

Yyyyeah, Menarker. Stuff is modelled on strength, here. You've got Mollesk. That makes you pretty strong already. When we balanced you, that assumed that you'd be very careful in regards to using combos and min-maxing. If you start trying to overpower Mollesk again, your character will get rebalanced, and not in a good way. So take what you have. Utterly retarded stats (I mean seriously), an interesting move pool, pretty strong custom item. I'll leave you that much. Be happy with that! And use it... conservatively.
I know that he's like your sports car, first-born son, whatever you want to call it. He's your way to prove that FUCK YOU I CAN MIN-MAX.
And yes. Yes you can min-max. But if you do, your character has to be weakened to compensate. And outlining all the ways you can combo and min-max really doesn't help your cause.

I mean sure, I can't stop you from doing what you want. But the stronger Mollesk turns out to be, the weaker Renny will become. So... maybe best to limit yourself.
M'kay?

Gem, can I assume that in regards to your Ultimate Warlord ability, if someone tries to attack your bodyguard and knock them out in one turn and still have actions left over, they could proceed to attack you because you don't have time to switch enforcers?

Yeah, that's it. If his Bodyguard falls, he starts taking full damage until the beginning of next turn.

I'll consider whom to pick. But Mika might be intersting, that's some good thinking.

And how's Marionata going to throw three turn Domination every other turn? It costs 400 RPs and she gains 100 per turn. She could, like, do it every four turns.

Yeah, that's the way it's supposed to be. But with Fire At Will, it could be every second turn. Or even more often, 5 times every 8 turns. Which is rather a lot. Like I said, I'll see what happens.

And Drac, Ima call your bluff. There's no threat from you.

[Dracorion]

'Kay, Gem.

Boy, I hope we do have to nerf your shit.

But I didn't ADD anything to Mollesk! He's the same as he was last mission. The recent backlash that you two are warning me about are results of TWILOCH whom AB THE GM made. That's like you saying that Mollesk and Renny should be nerfed every time a new character who has the ability to buff an ally with stat boost or an extra abiilty comes along. That's not my fault at all. That's just the nature of the Ability or the allies. I didn't try to add to his power. That was just a side effect of more characters coming in and thus with more options, that I can't control.

And he never actually DONE anything aside from tanking (His highest praise being against Pokegeddon) or a few uses of Rock Slide. He never lasted long enough to use his custom item or use Power Trick in the first place.

[Dracorion]

If AB were infallible we wouldn't need to do balancing.
