Here we go! Pokemon stuff isn't finalized yet, but Trainer crunch should be.

Crunch looks okay to me.

Hey, weirdsound, would you be averse to making a Skype chat for the game? It'd make OOC discussions and keeping track of each other easier, IMHO.
I'm waiting to see Daedalus' finalized crunch, as I may make some changes to my own for the sake of team synergy. I don't think Kota will have any further questions for now; I'll post in the solo thread if I think of something in the interim, but for the moment I'm holding off until Daedalus has time to get into gear.

If Deadalus is intrested, I'll make a chat.

Sorry! Turns out that if you miss the first day after a load of quizzes, there's LOTS to catch up on. I've been busy! Working on my crunch now; I'd love a Skype group. Also, would Akileija's sword be considered a One-Handed or Two-Handed Weapon? I know it would qualify as a Fine weapon, all things considered (it's a well-forged sword and she's had loads of experience), but since she can wield it one-handed normally or two-handed for more solid strikes...IDK.

I'll let you decide if the sword is one or two hands.
I'm going to be traveling this weekend, and I can never figure out how to get Skype working on my phone or Chromebook, so I'll set up a group when I get back either late Monday night or Tuesday afternoon PST.
I should still have some time to post this weekend, in spite of my travels. In fact, if you have stuff up for me to respond to on Friday morning and/or Monday night, I can at least write on the plane ride.

Man, things have been GOING to SHIT. I'm so sorry about this. Finishing up the crunch, and I'd like to ask a question: Skiddo/Gogoat's abilities are kind of shit, honestly. Grass Pelt does little to nothing, and it only gets the Reckless/Rock Head bonus off 3 moves (Take Down, Double-Edge, and Wild Charge). The February Playtest Pokedex, however, gives it Chlorophyll instead of Photosynthesis, and more importantly Empower (allowing it to use a Self Status move once per Scene as a free action) instead of the utterly useless Reckless as a high ability. You mentioned that the "playtest packet material would be available upon request," so would this fall under that?
Also, what's your opinion on egg moves for Pokemon? Could I, in theory, have one for any "bred" Pokemon? (so not Dib, because he's just a lazy rodent that hangs around with her because food, but maybe the well-bred cavalry Druddigon?)
Oh, and here's the link to her sheet. Pokemon crunch is obviously incomplete, but Trainer crunch is done.

I don't see the link to the sheet.
Is there no feat for teaching Egg Moves in the book anymore? If not, you can have them for the same price as the Mentor's Tutor Move feat would cost.
As for the abilities, I don't care to navigate PDFs on my travel chromebook, so I'll pop open the Playtest Packet and take a look when I get back tomorrow night or Tuesday.

Ohhh, I'm stupid. HERE's the link, for real this time. There is a feat for teaching Egg Moves, but it's a bit...pricey; it requires Move Tutor as a prerequisite, which requires a Mentor Skill at Expert. 5000 PY by your rules for tutoring - basically, one Pokemon and only one Pokemon can have a tutor move OR an egg move, and pretty much nothing else. It seems a little harsh for Lv. 25. Maybe that's just me, though.

One bonus move is what I give in most of my games, but many Pokemon shouldn't need too much in the move coverage department by Level 25. Hence the buy-in system so Pokemon who already have decent coverage can get some other boons instead.

Anyhow, I'm about to hop on my flight home.
I'll likely work on a big infodump speech post while I fly, but I wont post it until you guy's at least have your character's say hi to one another. Feel free to start RP now even if Pokemon stuff isn't finalized.

Alright. Daedalus, yer goat can have Chlorophyll. If I recall correctly, you don't get high abilities until level 40. I'll decide about Empower when it is ready to take its high ability. By then, I should have a feel for what it is capable of doing in battle, and how broken Empower will be for it. If I don't allow you to take Empower, I will hopefully find a way to Homebrew a recoil move onto the Gogoat, or at the very least allow you to take Photosynthesis instead of Reckless if you'd like.
Also, I noticed your question in the Shoutbox. If you can't get an official answer from one of the Devs, I'll go with the following homebrew rule on Ride as One + Run Up.
Your Pokemon can use Ride as One in response to the use of its movement on its trainer's turn under the following circumstances: 1: The target is in the same location that it was in on the trainer's turn. 2: The Pokemon who is taking its turn has not received damage since its trainer used its movement speed.
---
Also still waiting for your characters to at least acknowledge each other's existence before I get things moving.

I'll get a post up as soon as I get the chance. Midterms, y'know, and just because midterms are a thing doesn't mean that the professors are going to stop throwing coding assignments at me.
Also, I'll definitely be able to do that, since whatever initiative we have we'll be taking the highest together. I have high enough Command to take the skill Leadership, which lets me use After You.

Did you guys get the link to the Skype Chat that I sent via PM yesterday? Neither of you have joined yet.

Just bumping this so it goes above the locked threads. Feel free to use this if I'm not active on Skype guys.
