Pokemon Umbral Theatre 26: Pierce Didn't Die, Big Whoop... - Page 6

I call them Pokemon Rogues...at least for now, I do.

The main arguement against flinch is that in the future, those who rely on it will need to modify their tactics to suit various foes. Mechs don't flinch, not even when fractured. Bosses usually don't. And a good number of Slayer type enemies will have their own resistances, especially if they're elite soldiers.

I do have to admit the buddy cop Charlotte and Matthias would be extremely amusing.

Menarker · 05-25-2011, 08:11 PM

Eh? What reason is there for that?

It is disadvantageous for those without pokemons because they are more easily knocked out and not so easily revived.

And what happens if the Medic is knocked out? According to that rule, no one can revive the medic.

Dracorion · 05-25-2011, 08:13 PM

Well, maybe just restrict it to Rage Rockets, then.

Astral Harmony · 05-25-2011, 08:30 PM

Yeah, that might work.

Either that or maybe have some out-of-battle person who could revive once or twice every turn.

Triage Unit class created!

Dracorion · 05-25-2011, 08:58 PM

... More characters?

Bard The 5th LW · 05-25-2011, 09:14 PM

Whoo!

Menarker · 05-25-2011, 09:32 PM

Or alternatively, we could give some of the enforcer characters without such a role that duty.

I mean, we're already allowing characters to be put in the enforcer slot regardless of their primary role (at the cost of said ability for that mission)

Astral Harmony · 05-26-2011, 01:35 AM

No, I want a Triage Unit.

It'd be like Valkyria Chronicles when someone dies. You have no way to revive them yourself, so you walk up to your fallen comrade and call up the medic who gets your fallen comrade out of there.

In fact, I'd like the Triage Unit character to be the only one who can revive.

I really wanna do it that way. Have a Triage Unit who can revive one Slayer or one Pokebrid or two Pokemon per turn.

Plus, we're not just doing Enforcer duty to other classes for this sidequest. I think that'll be a more permanent feature as well. They get to be Enforcers by giving up their abilities as special characters. That way, Renny and Pierce can indeed have Chizuru and Lola (both Medics) in the same formation, and neither of them even have to assume the Medic role.

Menarker · 05-26-2011, 01:40 AM

Would PCs be able to revive other characters with their own items presumably if we do go with Triage Units?

Also, would we have another slot in the DSS for them? (Or outside if you consider them out of formation like Snipers or Destroyers)
