Clever. My fault for specifying 'north' as the bump direction and not 'away from the boss'.

Where'd I take damage from during the player phase though?

>>1085273
From entering the freezing cloud. Persistent effects do harm the initiator, as was clarified in the previous thread.

Oh, by the way. Previous thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1043864/

>>1085282
The cloud should have been cast S2 of my position at the time, though?

Which would then be a complete miss after the overwatch trigger, but again that's my failing to anticipate the boss jumping so far northwards.

>>1085297
Well, there was nothing to cast the cloud on at S2. It was a bit of smart processing.
Only a bit though. Any inconsistencies are explained by general confusion from the unexpected pounce.

>>1085317
Fair enough. I suppose I'm just a little confused by the positioning, since I ought to have cast the Cloud prior to the Barrier, but things rarely go according to plan in a fight.

I imagine the others can handle it now that it's Frozen, so I'll just lie here, eating my self-inflicted frostbite for a few turns.

She did specify she wanted go after everyone else though, so maybe you could take a shot before she does if the instructor allows it?

It's decided based on the total HP change. In this case, you'd be at -2 net HP change, so both Determination healing and the cloud damage would occur after all others took their actions.

Now that I've said this, I'm starting to think this system is a bit clunky...

Numbered directions/compass on map would be nice.
Some sort of action stack or is that to much work?
Non lethal method that's a buff?
A FIST weapon type would be awesome.

It's literally North, South, West and East. I didn't think a compass would be needed for that.

Variation?

>>1088606
Yes, more techs and methods, because I think depending on if someone wants close range focus or distance focus, builds are gonna be pretty similar.

>eating ice cream after one of your classmates literally froze to death
Mistakes were made.

Anyway, it ran alright on the whole, though more clarity in the rules descriptions would have let things go smoother. For instance, how we were all under the impression that a Wand provides +1 to AoE if a charge has been used for an attack, as opposed to +1 AoE once for one action spent charging; or how we didn't know what Stun or Bind did until they came up during the fight, though the terms appeared but went unexplained in the OP image.

I imagine there might be some interactions you haven't fully considered either (what area does a Giant Reaching Strike threaten?).

You should probably also have a properly-defined format for how overwatch and other off-turn triggers work, to prevent confusion like Turn 13 happening. I'm still not sure what order everything triggered in.

More variety in techniques and methods would give us more variety among the characters, as would some rebalancing between the options themselves. Note how everyone used more or less the same attacks all the time (most often Volcanic Strike/Shot/Beam with Giant or Reaching as needed) with admittedly a few exceptions. A number of the Methods are highly situational (for instance Lightning and Longshot), which means they'll seldom be picked over more generalist Methods (Volcanic, Giant, Reaching) given the limitation of 4.

Beam is probably too strong in comparison to Crash. However, AoEs become prohibitively awkward to use with higher numbers of players (perhaps you could have a Method for this?).

I'd like to see more Methods that interact with Barriers. They're potentially pretty potent, but the fact that the one thing they do isn't damage means that they won't see too much use. Similar problem with Throws.

Mega and Giga are almost useless, unless you've got an obscene overabundance of Ex. In terms of damage yield, Mega is on par with Volcanic. Meanwhile, Giga requires you to sacrifice your second method, making it only useful at the end of a fight. However, given how opaque enemy boss hitpoints are, you'll hardly ever use it for fear that the battle will still continue after.

>I'd like to see more Methods that interact with Barriers. They're potentially pretty potent, but the fact that the one thing they do isn't damage means that they won't see too much use
I'd say they've seen plenty of use though.

>more clarity
>properly-defined format
>interactions you haven't fully considered
All true :(

>>1088536

Having all the methods and techniques interact with each other in a viable way would be nice, as >>1088672 stated.

Instead of doing things like Pwr*1.5, maybe you should just increase Pwr by a set number, since the translation of Pwr to damage or whatever doesn't always mean decent boosts to techniques (or in the reverse, crazy boosts like whoever hit the cat for 18).

Lastly, since this is your first skirmish (I think), DON'T smart process. Smart processing has this tendency to fuck up often. And on that note, do make your limit clear on what is and is not permissible for actions. Conditional actions (like move after person X does Y) also have this fun tendency to be misinterpreted, or result in misprocessing.

Oh, and be as specific as you can with your rules syntax. That helps prevent things like when I tried to knock that teddy bear in a direction I technically couldn't.

Also, I want to throw people over stuff.

All in all, fun game. Needs more work, but you're off to a good start.

But you joined before I did, making you my senpai!

Aside from rules tweaks, if you have time, it would be neat to have an Ex option that allowed characters to combine abilities somehow as some kind of rainbows and unicorn faeries finishing (hopefully) attack.

>I'd say they've seen plenty of use though.
Perhaps it's just personal bias, but I feel like a fair portion of it was by me, especially towards the end.

From the beginning, my intended strategy was: Freeze enemies in Volcanic zones and let them burn to death behind Barriers. Didn't really work out so well.

This is just the opinion I've formed from what I've experienced, but due to the time frame of play-by-post games, players generally find dealing damage more preferable to preventing damage, since it makes things go faster and lets you move onto the next event sooner (and also big damage numbers let you feel more like you're doing something useful) - note how the Dodge and Block actions were barely touched over the entire game. Because of this, crowd control and defense options generally have to be a little more potent than the damage options they're given alongside for players to consider them.

Pre-nerf Barriers were great (if somewhat overpowered) because they let you potentially double-dip hard control and soft control. Even so, I don't feel like many of the characters got much good use out of their Barriers. Reducing the movement potential was understandably, though you'll probably have to alter exactly how they work a little further before you hit a good balance.

>>1088786
I think [Giga] was intended to be the flashy finisher that's sort of like that. But the Ex cost, and the fact that Ex checks happen after expenditure, mean that it's horribly inefficient to use.

Though, now that I think about it, a Method that allows you to pay HP for damage instead of Ex would be potentially hilarious.

>>1088525
"It's okay. My body can always be reassembled... unlike your weak flesh."

>>1088536
Cognita makes a sad noise after shoving ice cream into her face only to have it ooze out of her faux "mouth"

My Thoughts:
Methods that multiply power don't seem that great since all fractions are rounded down.

Given that this game can become a giant clusterfuck the homing method seems very useful but I don't feel it is so useful as to justify spending 3 Ex on it.

To make a homing attack you are already using up a precious method slot, and you're forgoing applying another method to it unless you have Ex to spend. I feel that these opportunity costs balance out the utility of the method, whereas making it cost 3 Ex makes the opportunity cost of using it instead of other Ex methods such as mega or healing, too great.

Longshot seems a bit unnecessary if this map is representative of the kind of sight-lines we'll be getting. As it stands very long range combat seems rare and it seems like a waste of Ex to attack from extreme range when you could move a bit closer and attack with a reaching shot instead.

There needs to be a better way to identify things on the map. While the current ID method for players is functional it still takes some doing to figure out who's who unless they have a unique accessory like a hat... or are a robot.

Numbering player tokens seems like an obvious solution but DESU I think it might make the battlefield look too busy. I'd suggest making a more varied set of cosmetic options but that's a lot of work and doesn't really solve the problem if only a handful become popular.

And all this is before adding IDs for enemies into the mix. DESU I can't really think of an elegant solution off the top of my head.

I love the Drive and Exceed system. They're what really makes this skirmish stand out and give it a unique dynamic.

Elan: A straight forward drive for girls who want to dish it and take it.

Determination: A good drive for tanks and frontliners as well as n00bs. When in doubt: take this drive. At least you don't have to worry about getting KOed as much.

Friendship: Tricky to use but has the potential to be really powerful with proper team play.

Love: Uh... it's kinda like a more risky version of friendship. Given the current "lethality" of the game I'm not sure the love drive is an optimal choice compared to other drives. You might wanna rework it completely since right now it's quite underwhelming with all the restrictions on it (max 3 per turn, lose everything if someone dies) but without restrictions it could become ridiculously OP. Again no real fix I can think of right off the top of my head.

Increase the number of methods (tough!) or add advanced levels to each method and reduce the number that mahou can take to increase variety! The options need to be balanced, of course...

for instance, maybe:
[Reaching]: TECHRange +2; charge or spend 3EX, TECHRange +2.
combining [Reaching] and [Longshot]!
I would like to see Ex being used to avoid having to charge, than to gate power ups directly but that'd be super tough to do!

Multipliers and dividers make even numbered stats super important! +1 Mov for instance, isn't very useful when Strike rounds that bonus off altogether, and a mahou needs to get to 4Pwr at least, preferably 5 to get 6 at 3Ex.

>>1088536
I am afraid I will not be able to provide any input due to my unfortunate late arrival.

"(Ack, I can't believe I was tardy! Shishou will have me doing practice swings till my arms fall off!)"

[Resilient] Requires x girls with [Determination]. Grants 1/2 Power to Block for all allies within y. Have z Ex (and maybe gives a free Block to the girls using it?)
[Cheerful] Requires x girls with [Friendship]. Restore health=1.5 Power, KO'd targets restore more? Spend y Ex
[Lovely] requires x girls with [Love]. I got nothing but the name.

And finally, the combo for all four drives: combine all methods used by 4 girls (each with a different drive) into a single attack.
>these probably need tweaking to function mechanically properly, but I think you get the idea?

Sweet, I'm looking forwards to join at the actual launch of the game

If you look forward to playing again, please watch for announcements at https://twitter.com/skirmammoth

Though first I have to rebalance the mechanics.

And rewrite the rules.

And draw more cute outfits.
