(Just to be clear, are you willing to make up new Psyches for this, or will everything be from the games?)

Edit: Maybe we should all agree on a single format for char-sheets, so that Mastah can find the information he needs quicker?

I make up new things all the time. I'll try to stick to canon psychs, but since my system works so differently, I'm not opposed to making my own.

A single format would certainly make my life easier, but I'm not going to necessitate it.

She wants to have a balance of close and far range, but they should also help eachother in some way. Perhaps if she could slow the frogs down, maybe even stop them..some black-hole-y ball of some sort would work well. A point of vacuum should be reasonable. But it's not like her mind cares much how. So she just attempted to send some pulling sphere away from her, toward the frogs. A pillar of some might also work, likely of wind. Mini tornadoes could also work, right?

Do Psychs have to be offensive in nature? Could you, for example, summon a bound suit of armor for yourself, give yourself wings, or restore your or another character's energy (before it hits 0)?

Can you have both positive and negative energy, or do you have to choose one or the other?

"I heard sprinting noises behind me, was someone trying to following me? Maybe it was that persons trying to fight those inter-dimensional frogs and getting rekt by attacking them. I think I'm going to need his help."
Dodge this turn, getting hit by frogs is really uncomfortable..

Spoiler: Dylan Daehler (click to show/hide)

Dylan Daehler: A socially reserved teenager who always had difficulty making friends. He always was the most happiest when he was socially isolated from other people and always had a difficulty with "finding a place" in this world. He has become a quite morbid, yet cunning fellow as he spend most of his time on reading and entertaining himself with technology, whether it be the casual video game or the more intensive art of programming. He has become quite an intellectual as his introverted nature led him have fewer, yet more deeper relationships with his friends. His main flaw is that he his very self-conscious and self-aware and that forces him to make a lot of subtle movements and changes of appearance so that his anxiety doesn't become unbearable for him

Exactly. Sweeper, not black hole.

Anyway, I was looking at Sara's stellar fury, and it seems to be underpowered. Its two good sides are being able to spread damage over more Noise at will, and holding back extra energy usage. However, with its low accuracy, it deals only 10 damage per turn on average compared to Shockwave's 14 for the same amount of energy...if the enemy has no defense. In TWEWY terms, it has low efficiency, since defense applies to each hit individually, making defense resist it much more. If this game had individual player strengths, I think it would sorta balance it, but no sign of that has been given so far. Also, it's energy regen is lower, taking an extra turn to regain positive attacks compared to Shockwave.

Double ninja: Athath, there are defensive/status-afflicting/healing Psyches, but only thif last one is in the original game. For everyone's reference, a list of Psyches can be found right here. Also, both types of attacks can be used. In fact, in this system, it would be reccomended, since you would have two pools of energy available to use and regen, allowing you to use Psyches more often.
And Shadow, make a deal to help out Ross when he comes to section II next turn. You'll be able to fight off the Noise. He's your only option right now. Also, if you choose an offensive action for after the pact now, you can stop being the amphibians' punchingkicking bag.

Keep on running and keep on following Dylan.

Too tired to math, but does that calculate the +1 to accuracy for each continuous attack?

Defense powers, yes.
Movement powers, yes.
Health restoration, yes.
Energy restoration, no. I think that'd be overpowered.

Can you have both positive and negative energy, or do you have to choose one or the other?

In the video game, each individual psych had it's own power and reload, so you basically had up to 6 different ammo types.
I reduced this to 2 for simplicity's sake. Yes, you have both. It's better if you do, so one can be used while the other reloads.

The percieved low accuracy is not as bad as it seems. In the spoiler on melee and ranged attacks, I pointed out how consecutive attacks on a target raises the hit stat. Attack one has a hit of 5, but attack two gets 6, then 7, then 8, which is higher than anything else so far.
Also, if your second (or subsequent) power also doesn't take a full turn, you can start chaining different attacks together. It's not as bad as it seems. And you can always upgrade it later. Edit: Ninja'd

Yeah, this too. (I actually browsed through that very page before making this game )

[highmax28]

I'm avoiding looking at existing ones and hoping something new is made.

Also, considering I'm using punches with my psych, I swear, I'm becoming more Jojo than I intended

[ATHATH]

I'll reserve a spot now, and make a sheet when I actually get in.

[DolosusDoleus]

...whoops.

Imagine a pocketknife into being and stab the froggy to death with it.

I wait with the up most anticipation,

I am loving it, mostly because it is nothing like I experienced before, new rules, interesting delivery, essentially limitless potential, I like how we essentially choose our abilities

and I just love it over all, it is fun trying to plan out how I want to build my character out in abilities and to see how the dynamic of the partners will evolve.
almost every day I wait excited for another post just itching to see what happens next
