Pokemon Umbral Theatre 2: Devoted to That She-Devil, Charlotte Beaufort

Regarding Upgrades in general:

And yeah, Geminex meant that we only get to customize our classes once we get past level 5 in those classes. Not after our characters reach their fifth upgrade. Trust me dude.

Well, that didn't seem right from what I read of Gem's statement. Otherwise, that means you and Gem get to edit level 2-10 of demon classes (including the early levels) as well as any later levels of other classes they could go in while anyone who is NOT that class can only edit the late levels of the class they go in. Hence why I thought Gem was thinking ahead and saying it applied to character levels.

Also, a good deal of the upgrades that Slayers normally get wouldn't apply since they relate to weapons, which my character gave up. So what I summed in was a "Follow Me" technique (useful if you're careful), the two "conditionals upgrades" and otherwise spread out the upgrades further, making getting one accessory at level 2 instead of the normal two and getting increased attack power a bit later.

Regarding Protective Guard:
1) Doesn't take rage from other people, so it won't count as a way to gain rage.
2) Doesn't reduce damage at all. It's basically damage redirection.
3) Thematic in a caring/heroic "Body as a Shield" sort of way.
4) It's similar to your Mock ability except it's an actual upgrade that wouldn't be a free action. More like an item use action or so.
Unless there is something else you're concerned about?

Regarding Domination:
1) Removed Custom Item for it.
2) Very situational as only bosses seem to have anything like domination atm and not even frequently. And even the fact of confusion is that it only prevents damage. If it would succeed, it would still be a Null Turn on the pokemon.
3) BTW, it's on Breeder 1 not 2.
4) Very thematic given how loyal the pokemons should be to Renny.

Regarding Stat Boosts:
Pokemons/pokebrids are not equally effective attackers most of the time. Usually, they got one attack strong and the other weak. Pokebrids also got lower stats than Slayers except for a select few that are higher than normal. This would help more than stats all across the board. Slayers can use all around stats because they can use all attack types and such, but not Pokebrids. Plus, I intend to use a bit of speed, which is otherwise situational.
Gem also proposed this sort of thing too and AB summed it up here.

Slayer stats are balanced across the board, but Impact wants it changed and I agree. However, I'd rather leave individual stat growths to demon upgrades if I could.

Regarding Improved Mobility RDPA:
It's not any bit more powerful in strength or defense. No additional uses either. Just a conversion in more freedom in which turns it is used, and a little boost in that Overdrive doesn't cause it to be rendered useless for the rest of the battle (as long as there are uses leftover).


So yeah, I think what I proposed is strong, but since I kept mostly to the update sheets, removed some stuff and spread the upgrades thinner in places to keep it more balanced, I thought it would be appropriate.

Anyhow, still waiting to see what the accessories are. And the demon template so we know how to scale things.
