Drac, you're not a GM to decide how the rules are made. That is solely AB's domain as the one who runs the setting.

Your job as sub-GM (as far as I see it) is to keep the game running and to enforce the rules that AB already ruled on. I'm perfectly willing to listen to whatever interpretions you may have about the rules, but I take any such interpretions as if they came from me, Gem, Bard or Dante. As interpretions from a fellow player. Especially when the rules are not specific to your quest alone, but to the entire premise of the game in general, including after your character specific mission.

Thus, in regards to how Love-Techs operate and such, I pretty much insist that these things should be high-lighted for AB to rule upon.

My personal viewpoint with lovetechs is that each PC characters are capable of performings these actions on their own. Impact is very tactical, even without Rayleen. Renny is very dutiful about supporting and helping people, even without Lola. Pierce is a great combatant even without Chizuru. Having these love-partners who are also compatible with their respective strengths just enables them to do these techniques with more grace, skill and flair than normal.
Or as Renny would say it, these techniques may have been learned BECAUSE of their interaction with these specific characters. Lola TAUGHT Renny how to use items like these because of her skill as a medic. Rayleen TAUGHT Impact how to be even more of a leader than he was. The absence of these characters doesn't mean that the PCs suddenly is unable to do it, or that they haven't personally developed by their interactions with said specific character.

That is how I see it. ^^

EDIT: Oh, I see you kinda ninjaed what I intended to say.
