And heres' the macro I use!

First the pokemons name, then the attack, then the target.

Middle is your accuracy plus any specials like burn or para.

Finally, put in your damage type, hit dice and roll away. Any extras after damage go onto the bottom. Simple!

Code: [Select]

<b>Ujiken uses Leech Life on Kuji</b><br>
Accuracy Roll: <b>[d20]</b> Hits on 2+<br>
Bug <b> Type Damage: <b>[1d13+11+SPATK+STAB]</b>
Half of damage returns HP

Now, you'll have to add line breaks of course. Quoting my thread will show them I think.

Triple post?!

Ya know, I was looking at my Ward feat...

Ward: Roll d20 and add your DEX and CHA modifiers to the roll. If the total exceeds 20, the Wild Pokemon flees without fail. If the total exceeds 28, the Wild and any pokemon who are it's allies flee without fail.

@Haika: You think it would be possible for me to tone down the secondary affect? I mean, in the future my stats will be generally high enough to just chase away any encounter, and that's not exactly how I wanted to use this skill. It might also annoy the other players to randomly end an encounter. An easy choice would be to just allow me to only trigger the second effect if I wanted to, but that sorts of bleh with my idea of Ward being some sort of non-lethal device like a flash or stink bomb with short range.

I think I have a better idea. It's still pretty powerful, but probably not a match ender in most cases.

See, my thought of how to change it-fitting with flavor of course-is thus...I think it makes more sense. It's up you anyway, lol

Messing around with Homebrew stuff is fun even if the GM shoots you down.

Homebrew Variant Feat

Ward/Spook Bomb: The trainer hurls a specialized explosive pill that can repel Pokemon from the battlefield as with a flashbang grenade-other variants can be shock bombs, stink bombs or sonic bombs, used for specific species-they can be hurled at a range of ten, and do no damage to either trainers of pokemon.

Roll d20 and add your DEX and CHA modifiers to the roll. If the total exceeds 20, the Wild Pokemon flees without fail. If the total exceeds 28, Roll 1d6-that number of allies within 5 of the targeted pokemon also flee without fail.

[Weirdsound]

Out of curiosity, would I be allowed to use butchered Pokemon bits for my item crafting feats to reduce or eliminate the cash cost? It would make sense for this campaign, because half the time I'll be in the middle of nowhere, unable to visit the army surplus store to purchase what I need.

I suppose that could work. But really I think the feat is fine as it is. If you really want to change it, I'll let you do so. But since we have started already, no changes until TL increase.

Quite possibly, however you don't have any butcher pokemon bits, right now only Rolf has any.

[Weirdsound]

Thanks. I'll take it up with him ICly later.

[Dwarmin]

I dunno, I'm just iffy about the concept of blowing away whole encounters you genned up for us with one roll, and trying to explain that IC wise lol-it seems too much power for me.

Like, I also literally can't think of anything the non-mystic Kath could do to chase away an entire force of attacking Pokemons-like, multiple times a day eventually, from the entire field. I know it's not supposed to make sense anyway, but that messes with my roleplaying, which is fairly important to me.

Just say it is a ridiculous pulse of light from your styler. Think of it as a highly nerfed ranger version of the Sonic Screwdriver, and RPly use it for all your ranger feats. That is basically what my brother did in my meatspace campaign with Kuji.

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, looking through the feats, *alot* of Ranger stuff is pretty much unexplainable without sonic screwdrivering the Styler. Not exactly what I had in mind, but whatever.

I guess I'll abandon my self nerf. Maybe there's some sort of item that replicates what I was looking for.

(Sudowoodo is rock that looks like wood. I'd be worried about the Snover line)

The following three files are added to Tobias' PDA, in the folder Tobias Goodman Armed Forces

Personnel Report: Seaman Nimitz

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name and Rank: Seaman Nimitz
Species: Oshawott (Modified)
Ownership Status: Company Pokemon, on indefinite lease to the TGAF
Role(s): Ranged Fighter, Physical Tank, Communications Expert, Talent Scout

Notes: Nimitz has proven very capable in combat, having served in the First Battle of Haven City without receiving so much as a scratch. Confusion is currently his most powerful and reliable ability, with high accuracy, good range, and the chance to leave the target bewildered. When faced with a foe who resists Confusion Nimitz can fall back on his Water Gun, which is almost as powerful.

On the downside Nimitz suffers from a severe lack of motivation. I am taking steps to remedy this, but in all likelihood I will have to wait for evolution and the subtle personality changes that come with it before I can consider Nimitz for promotion. In combat Nimitz should probably avoid other ranged attack users, as his special defenses are quite low.

Recommended Training Regiment: Nimitz serves it's combat role perfectly. All further training drills will serve modify it's attitude. Nimitz will perform running drills, push ups, and target practice as time permits. I am encouraging him to partake in drills of a more erotic nature with Sergent Pitcher, as perhaps a good girl can get his head straightened out.

Personnel Report: Sergent Molly Pitcher

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name and Rank: Sergent Molly Pitcher
Species: Buneary
Ownership Status: Captured by Deborah, gifted to the TGAF
Role(s): Drill Sergent, Front-line Infantry, Romantic Motivation

Notes: Sergent Pitcher's combat skills are as of yet untested, however at least in the short term she looks to be a valuable member of the TGAF. She has the raw speed required to outrun most wild Pokemon. She has the moves and Stats to deliver hits at any range, and access to the 'endure' technique to remain conscious when hit hard.

On the downside Sergent Pitcher's defenses are soft and she lacks the coordination to properly hold and use items. It is highly probable that she will be promoted to a purely non-combat role as more powerful Pokemon are recruited into the TGAF.

Recommended Training Regiment: Sergent Pitcher seems physically and mentally ready for the battlefield. To remain sharp she will be assigned to lead my other Pokemon through their training exercises. She may be called upon to push her body to limit in more... unconventional drills to reward or motivate male service members in her egg group.

Combat Report: Battle of Haven City

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Attackers: Grand Artifact Company, Unorganized
Defenders: 4 Squadrons of Buneary, Lead by Sergent Molly Pitcher

Role of the TGAF:
Commander Goodman softened up the enemy leader for capture with his SMG
Commander Goodman finished off two weakened Buneary, one with his SMG, one with his knives
Seaman Nimitz performed admirably, KOing at least three of the foe with confusion and taking no damage

Result: Victory Attackers

Casualties:
The attackers suffered no Casualties
All defenders were captured or killed (1 released for complying with demands)

Battle MVP: Tie between Seaman Nimitz and the Teddyursa Cubin

[Dwarmin]

OOC: It's hard, but I think I can resist saying "Anyone up for a session tonight? " Tuesdays probably need to be rest days for most lol

Spoiler: Kath's Journal (click to show/hide)

{The Text in Green was deleted by the writer before submission...}

You know, I've never actually bothered to make one of these. I guess I never felt the need to write down my thoughts...might as well get it done though. The Company will probably use it somehow, I dunno.

First, I sort of slept through the briefing. Oops. Debs filled me in afterwards-we're catching Pokemon for money, which isn't that different from what I did before, but now I have a license! We're also going to explore some likely dangerous ruins, and steal artifacts. Turns out this job is going to be more fun that I thought it would be.

Our first trip ran us into a bunch of Bun-ary-es. Weak creatures. Even if they outnumbered us three to one, we pretty much destroyed them all...I got to use my swords. And Kathryn loves to use her swords. I was surprised how good the rest of the team was. Debs is a bike ace, Jay is a healer-something with plants, I think-even Rolf can stand his ground.

Polaris showed his stuff-he's pretty good on the offense...not so much on the defense. I've got to emphasis caution in our training...but, I can't make him lose the very boldness that will keep him alive. It's going to be tough, but my little naughty one will hopefully learn in time. Did I mention how cute he was, even in battle? Such a little charmer!

I did catch a bunaery-but I just sold it right off. I wouldn't sully myself by training such a weak species. I got some money for it, at least...I even used the Styler to restrain one, and he showed me the goodie cache he had socked away. Bonus!

On the downside, I was angry to see some of our teammates leave the fight before it was done. At least I know who I can trust in a pinch.

I figure I should go now-"hat shopping"... is the line I'm going to use....that Deb, she's a real card. Sort of clueless, but in a good way-she's actually a completely innocent soul, a genuine good person. I sometimes find myself wishing she was my sister.

Maybe if I had fallen in with a better crowd, I might have turned out like her. But, alas and alack, so the sins of the past can never be undone, amen amen. That's what Dad would have said.

I don't want Deb-or any of them-to know about my other life. Not now, anyway. I won't lie to them...not exactly, but I won't volunteer the truth either. That's how it's always been, right?

[Haika]

So, thinking about running an unscheduled game tonight, if I can get at least 4 people interested, I'll gen up an encounter for you all.

I'll probably load up the server in about a hour or two here. So if we manage to get 4 people online there and ready to play, We can go ahead.
