    Because the first thread is autosaging.

    I think we were discussing the implications of a Martial Artist/Psychic.

    Apart from having abysmal stats and being effectively useless in official battles, it seems to be a pretty cool character concept!

    What else can you guys think of?

    Easy. Just use your psychic powers to BECOME a martial artist.

    If they could get away with some of their shit to a lesser extend in official battles wouldn't it work out fine?
    It makes sense a more experienced psychic could work around detection or some blocking method. Not sure how you would do that with a martial artist though

    I'm concerned about how damage reduction works. Does "I can take a hit!" stack with the Martial Artist's Tough Skin/Black Belt's Toughest Skin feature?

    Or is Tough Skin supposed to be a watered down alternative to I Can Take a Hit until one takes Toughest Skin+?

    What about Martial Artists who don't take Black Belt, then?

    Dr. Mr. Stark, how are the Class Bonus/Requirements coming along in the Beta? It just feels a little weird to get immediate bonuses to those traits required for the class. I also really don't like the negatives given to a third attribute, I can't put my finger on it exactly but I just really don't like it.

    It's more of a reallocation of benefits that prevents taking multiple classes really early on, as in level 1-4 and you already have 2 classes. It was a balancing issue.

    Once I had an idea for a Pokemon campaign in 4e. It got scrapped, however.

    I could possibly reuse ideas from it, however. One of the areas I had concocted was a gigantic fortress hidden in the snow, the lair of a Delibird and its nine flying Stantlers, as well as dozens, if not hundreds of Mareeps, Igglybuffs, and Cleffas in little green clothes constructing toys.

    Yo Stark.

    I imagine this is more of a general "How GM wat do" question, but just the same...

    Any advice on handling AoE effects like bursts or columns in a narrative format? Like, without using a game mat or anything.

    Not running anything or playing anything at the moment, but I'm picking at a few different ideas, and it's relevant to those.

    Thanks in advance for yer time.

    Considering Martial Artist and Coordinator both share a main stat, Constitution, it's not as improbable as you imply.

    >>9433883
    You would need to keep track of your friends and trainers in order to use those very well, otherwise you'd have the issue of hitting friends. If you aren't going to use a game mat, or even a piece of paper, I'd suggest demoting any AoE Moves to single target ranged attacks. Just a suggestion if you don't like using mats/boards.

    It was something like this:
    Uncle Capture Specialist catches a strong wild.
    Mother Breeder breeds a thorough-bred Egg and hatches it with their bonuses. The Breeder will push good moves onto the pokemon as it grows up.
    Father Ace Trainer takes over from there and raises the baby with their leveling bonuses to make it really powerful.
    Big Brother Psychic, Martial Artist or Ranger are always at its side while its training in the wild, always intercepting hits for the team's prized pokemon to make sure it's always safe.
    Eventually, you'll have a super strong pokemon who would die for any member of the team, though it won't because it's so goddamned powerful.
    At this point, Grandpa Researcher and Grandma Coordinator will use the prized pokemon against the Elite Four and in Master Contests, since they have the most features they can use in tournament settings.

    Do this with several pokemon.

    Basically, the happiest family in the whole pokeworld.

    So help me understand contests in the Pokemon Tabletop Adventures.
    1. There are a number of rounds and each round the pokemon do a move that will win approval.
    2. Certain judges like certain moves types which makes something happen.
    3. There is something called voltage and if judges are super excited you get something called voltage points which are probably supposed to be approval points.
    4. Whichever pokemon has the most approval at the end of the number of rounds is the most beautiful pokemon.
    5. Delicious pokebucks.

    Oh well. we tried.

    When I was walking around outside today I daydreamed up a pokemon War campaign. I drop my players behind enemy lines as low-level cannon-fodder with their low-level Army-supplied starters, and have them struggle to stay alive and get back to the safe zones while still putting the hurt to Jerry.

    Instead of Gym badges, I could give trainer levels for infiltrating one of the 8 POW camps scattered throughout the wartorn region and defeating the general of each one. Naturally, each soldier would slowly need to catch a full team for survival purposes, but they can't just waltz into town undisguised without alerting the loyalists inside the towns.

    I would say that Guns exist (and in fact everyone gets a free Gun User feat for surviving basic training), and are extremely useful for fighting other humans, but most higher-level pokemon are too bulky to really feel the pain (and for that matter, since bullets are normal type most pokemon resist them). They're still useful, but in most situations your trusty pokemon are going to be what you need to use to survive.

    I would let my players create their characters freely within the PTA ruleset, with war-time refluffing as necessary.

    Good idea y/n? Any more ideas I could add?

    You could probably drop Martial Artist and replace it with "Combat Specialist." It's kind of silly (Yet awesome) to fight Nazis with Karate chops and stuff. They would have a lot of the same skills, except instead of learning Karate Chop and Jump Kick, they learn more Army-themed attacks like Bullet Seed, or how to use Grenades (Essentially a one-time use "Explosion" you can throw as far as you can throw a pokeball. They cost money or resources, however, and are a daily feat to create one or two. So your supplies are not endless.)

    That depends on how much Defense or Speed the Nazi trainer pumped into it to raise its evasion scores. The hit chances in PTA are notoriously high, so you hit things more often than not unless you have just ungodly speed (+1 evasion every 10 points in speed) or Defenses (+1 for every five points in either DEF or SDEF).

    From a fluff standpoint I don't know. You know how exaggerated Pokedex entries are.

    So, what should I have as an alternative to recharging their center moves (Moves that can only be used once per pokecenter). Should I be harsh and say "Tough shit" or should I houserule in a rule that a Center move is recharged automatically after a couple days or after a field medic has healed them over?

    So, who else is looking forward to the Rune Master (I think thats what its called) The mystic advanced class that controlls unown.

    I think its freaking awesome. Especially the fact that you can fuse them together to create more powerful unown. I'm thinking about creating one that is basically a humanoid wire frame.

    The only thing I'm trying to decide, is what my last class should be. The first 2 are Mystic and Rune Master. For the third I'm thinking either Godspeaker (so I can use legendary moves), or breeder (To get even more unown)

    Elemental Sync: Type Ace Feature
    Prerequisites: Type Ace, Type Soul
    Static – Activate once.
    Target: A pokemon.
    Effect: Lose half of your full HP. You cannot regain those HP for 2 days. Elemental Sync takes approximately 10 hours to complete. The targeted pokemon is now permanently the Type you feel bound to. If this pokemon is two Types, one of its Types is permanently replaced. The pokemon’s physical appearance is altered appropriately. You may not use Elemental Sync to change a pokemon’s type so that is both Dark and Ghost. You can take Elemental Sync up to 3 times.

    Visual Appeal is rolled upon being sent out into the contest.
    Then there are 5 rounds of Move appeal. Then a winner is decided. Round 1: Whoever has it in them to go first. Round 2: Highest points to lowest points. Round 3: Lowest points to highest points. Round 4: Highest points to lowest points. Round 5: Lowest points to highest points.
    Contests levels change daily, contest of the day is decided at the beginning of the contest before sending out pokemon.
    Suggested fluff settings:
    Contests are held daily in almost every town or city, the contest halls may vary in quality or size but each like to start their contests at 12:00 p.m.
    Sunday, Saturday - Normal Rank

    Anyway, I'm going to be running a game this weekend, and the only thing that's got me stumped is combat. Or pokemon battles, to be specific.

    My question is really this: nearly all the Accuracy Checks on the moves are really low. I have a feeling that this is modified by status effects, evasion, etc (evasion + accuracy = what you need to roll over, so an AC 3 move against a pokemon with 2 Eva, I'll need to roll 5+, etc).

    And the buffing moves, like Bulk increases Attack and Defense 1 combat stage. What does this mean in terms of numbers?

    Honestly, its a quick way to gain extra levels. You level up from contest ribbons in the same way you level up from badges, so there's that.

    Four normal rank contests, one for each contest stat = four relatively easy level-ups.

    The evasion bonus thing? That is exactly how you do it.

    Combat Stages are tricky and require... oh god... math.

    From keywords section in Move rules:
    Combat Stage – During battle, the stats of a Pokemon can be altered to buff or debuff a pokemon, making them more formidable or less threatening. During battle, any stat can only be only be risen or lowered up to six times positively or six times negatively. This makes a scale, from -6 to +6 that can be altered as many times as the battle allows but never more then +6 Combat Stages or less than -6 Combat Stages. If a pokemon’s stat is raised a Combat Stage during battle, they gain a 25% bonus the buffed stat, rounded down. If a pokemon’s stat is lowered one Combat Stage during battle, they lose 12.5% of the affected stat rounded up. This means that if a stat has raised 6 Combat Stages; its affected stat should be 250% of its original value. If a stat has been lowered 6 Combat Stages, its affected stat should be 25% of its original value. For every 2 Combat Stages the Speed stat is raised, the Pokemon’s Speed Capabilities are raised 1 value. For every 3 Combat Stages the Speed stat is lowered, the Pokemon’s Speed Capabilities are lowered 1 value. Speed Capabilities may not be lowered below 1 and may not be raised above 10, or 5 for Burrow and Underwater.

    Answering an earlier comment/question:
    Why do Moves hit so easily?
    So combat doesn't take forever. Pick a target. Hit it. Switch out. Repeat. Pokemon are not separate characters, they are an extension of your central HP, the trainer. Use buffs to raise your Evasion and then you'll get rewarded for your high stats, otherwise accept that your pokemon will normally takes hits.

    I've previously been asked a fluff explanation, I came up with this:
    A bird naturally learn how to flap its wings and fly. A crocodile naturally learn how to best use their long, strong jaw. Animals naturally master their natural abilities. Pokemon are no different. They are good at what they naturally learn in their life spans. They can hit with their natural talents unless a foe's natural talents out-do theirs.

    A little bit. Double team works differently than the games though. It's pretty fun:

    Double Team – Normal
    The user moves at blinding speeds, making it appear as if there are more then one of them.
    Center – None
    Self **
    Effect: No Target
    The user makes three copies of themselves and places them into the encounter adjacent to the user. The user must place some sign under the token of the original copy to mark it as the original. If a copy is hit by a damaging Move, it is destroyed. If the original is hit by a damaging Move, all copies are destroyed. Any copy can perform a Move but the user is still only allowed one Move per turn. All copies may shift each turn. When the user and its copies are targeted by a Move, foes must roll +2 during Accuracy Check to hit for the remainder of the encounter. When a copy disappears, the user loses 1d10 HP. Do not apply weakness or resistance to HP lost. Do not apply stats to HP lost.

    Nah, but seriously, bidoof is nothing compared to the TOP PERCENTAGE OF RATTATTA!

    Holy fuck that thing was hard to kill in the rematch.
    Also, someone on /v/ used an AR to catch his raticate and check its stats.

    Apperently, none of its IVs are lower then 25, and its attack is at 31.

    It REALLY IS in the top percentage.

    Also, Unown wins all fights always.

    Speaking of type ace, are there any online resources where you can enter in two types and get a list of their weaknesses and resistances? I know there's charts, but they usually only have single types, or existing dual types rather than theoretical ones. Like if I wanted to theoretically turn Venusaur into a Steel/Poison type (lol earthquake)

    I want to somehow breed a group of Unown with near-perfect IVs, and a perfect spread of Hidden Power elements, because I think it'd be goddamn priceless. Especially if it caught an opponent completely off-guard.

    I don't know how well it'd work in practice, but the idea of an Unown downing a Steelix out of nowhere is almost too good to pass up one way or another.

    More about Rune Master (in its pre-alpha stage):
    Multiple Unown will be able to become single entities, up to 10 into one. When they fuse, you choose one of the Unown's their Base stats and add 1 point to 2 different stats. Up to 9 times potentially, when fusing up to 10 Unown over time, will get an extra 20 points to a single Unown. Also, when fusing Unown, they will retain all Hidden Powers. If you are aware of how Hidden Power works in this game, it can get pretty fun from there.

    The other starting feature for the Rune Master will be manipulation of the initial Hidden Power roll itself. The Move for those who care:

    Hidden Power – Normal
    Each pokemon and person holds a different hidden ability deep inside, and they unleash it in a burst of power.
    EOT – 2
    Ranged
    See Effect
    Effect: No Target, Burst
    Hidden Power makes a 3-meter Burst. When a pokemon first obtains the Move Hidden Power, roll 1d4 and 1d20. For the 1d4 roll, a result of 1 makes the Damage Dice Roll 2d10; a result of 2 makes the Damage Dice Roll 4d6; a result of 3 makes the Damage Dice Roll 3d10; a result of 4 makes the Damage Dice Roll 2d20. For the 1d20 roll, the Type is Bug on a result of 1; Dark on 2; Dragon on 3; Electric on 4; Fighting on 5; Fire on 6; Flying on 7; Ghost on 8; Grass on 9; Ground on 10; Ice on 11; Normal on 12; Poison on 13; Psychic on 14; Rock on 15; Steel on 16; Water on 17; and on a result of 18-20, reroll the d20. Those become the permanent stats.

    Can it be altered into a beam?

    According to bulbapedia, thats how it shows up in the anime.

    It would make sense for a rune master feat to be able to alter the move. Even if its only X number oftimes a day (Or maybe cut damage in half if you use it as a beam?)

    So, odd question. One of my players that I'm planning a game for is a competitive battler on the vidja and a severe believer in the tiers. He'll likely be playing a combination of ace trainer and something that's good at hunting down specific species of pokémon.

    Should I worry about him completely outclassing the rest of the party, or are all of the pokémon of similar evolutionary levels pretty much balanced?

    The OGL allows you to make anything you want with SRD material. However, it does not allow you to use trademarked material - which, in general, you can never do without a license from the rightsholder. The Pokemon games and all of the Pokemon within are pretty well owned by Gamefreak and Nintendo.

    Exactly how protective companies are of their intellectual property varies, however. Some offer open licenses that allow fans to do whatever they want with the materials as long as they make it clear that they are making use of an open license. Others shut down fan projects that they see as a threat to their IP. Ignoring large fan projects is not really an option, since companies have to actively try to maintain their trademarks or they lose the rights to them. It doesn't matter if the project is not for profit, they have to either okay it or nix it lest they run the risk of losing control of their cash cow. If the company is feeling draconian enough, they will send you a cease and desist. Nintendo seems to be a zero-tolerance company, given their recent reactions to various fan Zelda projects, so I would be wary of giving this project an easy target for C&D. Keeping on the boards should be good enough to keep it under the radar, but you never know...

    All pokemon go down to other pokemon.
    A pair of level 40s can take down a level 90.
    During playtesting a player's level 35 single handedly took down a level 85. And that was okay.
    Use the right Moves, and if they get out of control, discourage the poke's use will unfavorable wilds until party members catch up.

    What I mean is, out of our group who goes off their own ideas of what looks cool for their teams, this guy will tell them that their favorite pokémon are fundamentally bad because their stats suck.

    I see him trying to prove that he's right by picking fights in-game. A lot. And, while that can be fixed with just good GMing, I'm trying to figure out to what extent their pokémon, who probably do have lower stats, can stand up to what he throws at them before I have to step in.

    I wouldn't know how to handle that situation either. I'd make preemptive precautions, such as not letting the pokemon they seek appear unless its reasonable (i.e. no psuedo-ubers even appear until he's got at least 6 badges). Or when 'rolling' natures, you could actually randomize his pokemon's natures and give everyone else's pokemon favorable natures. Seems like he's an ass so the GM's gotta be an ass to handle him.

    Well, Garchomp is probably going to be badass no matter how badly allocated its stat points are sad to say.

    However, the cool thing about PTA is that using certain classes (Aces and Breeders principal among them) you can MAKE pokemon better, forcefully if required. In essence, for all intents and purposes, with enough finagling, every pokemon can potentially learn nearly every TM and Egg move and Tutor move, and have their stats raised up beyond their thresholds. Plus, 14 moves for each pokemon. Put something Icy and with a pretty good attack on something faster than a Garchomp and you're set.

    However, I suppose it works both ways. If someone can make an UU pokemon OU, then you can turn an OU pokemon Uber in the same way.

    Well, if a regular OU can have it done, why not the UU-turned-OU? Another thing that occurs to me, if he's focused on hunting and catching these pokémon, then he's not got too much going to stop him from being affected by the other players' abilities and, quite honestly, something tells me that these battles aren't going to be anywhere near official.

    Somehow, it seems to me like the people who just go with cool character cocepts, are going to be far better then the player that is trying to EV train his pokemon.

    After all, the normal players will be attempting to learn about the cool things they can do, while the min/maxer will basically just be sticking with what he knows, which doesn't even work in this situation.
