I dunno. NERF THEM REALLY HARD?
Use the Ffffffff-! tag in every post?
Well anyway, don't. Or at least make sure they're sufficiently balanced beforehand if you do. Better too weak than too strong and all that, they'll end up balanced either way.

If we don't customize them, then anyone with an NPC Overblade gets Double Attack.

Elizabeth's finished!

Persuade, Flirt and her Snagging chances might need some nerfing, but I think otherwise these are fine.

Anyway, AB, I was thinking about my proposed Love status effect and I realize that it was still pretty useless. So I decided to remake it.

Love (status effect, mental)
The target afflicted with this status effect will attack their own allies. Any damage will cause them to snap out of it.

It's really a version of Domination that's available to people who aren't psychic. It should still be pretty rare, I hope. The difference is that it's easier to snap the target out of it and the enemy afflicted wouldn't be under our control. AB would decide their actions, but they'd work for our side.

I won't deny that this benefits me a lot, but there's really no reason AB or anyone else can't use it.

Also, what are the chances Snagballs have of inflicting status effects?
