RE: Fyte Placan Season Five [Round 8: Can we get someone else up there?]

GATR as THE BUFFROBO

Gave both of your actives a cooldown of 1, and gave flex a lingering effect. Which is to say:
on turn 1, you flex and take 1 damage and gain +1 DEF
on turn 2, you have +2 ATK and +0 DEF, and cannot flex
on turn 3, you have +1 ATK and +0 DEF, and can flex again.

Suplex I think will work best if it's not additional damage, and simply based on your missing HP.

I'm going to interpret GLISTENING MUSCLES as BUFFROBO leaping across the room as if to say "YOU NEED TO SEE THESE PUPPIES HERE AND NOW."

"Please, don't feel overwhelmed by my GLISTENING MUSCLES. I will give each of you a chance to kiss THE BUFFROBO's pecs."

[SUPLEX] Does damage equal to THE BUFFROBO's missing HP. (Cooldown 1)

SLEEPY as CLETUS THE ARMED

I gave Sniper Shot a 40% chance to stun instead of 20%, a cooldown of 2, and clarified the effects of it being a long range attack. In most cases, anybody can target anybody with any attack, but there could be situations where the environment puts limitations on this, which includes distance.

I also gave Didn't Die for Nothing +2 HP instead of +1, and clarified the effects of the DEF buff as the Magic Shield effect.

KAYNATO as SANTAR CLOG

Uh oh.

SANTAR Clogs the Pipes is looking good to me, but I'm giving Traditional XMUX Punishment a cooldown of 1 after SANTAR CLOG breaks his own paralysis.

I'm editing Spreading HOLE-DAY CHAR to make more sense for the environment system I'm going for (I'm not using tiles; it's very lax).

Your stats were looking a little wonky, so I edited them to what I think you were going for.

Santar Clog performs a vicious clog dance to the sound of pipes.

[TRADITIONAL XMUX PUNISHMENT] When activated, this immobilizes Santar Clog and a selected target for at least one turn. On subsequent turns, the chance that the paralysis is broken increases by 25%. When Santar Clog attacks an immobilized target, its attacks bypass defense. (Cooldown 1 after leaving paralysis)
Santar Clog performs the traditional XMUX PUNISHMENT.

[PASSIVE: SPREADING HOLE-DAY CHAR] Whenever Santar Clog moves, there is a 40% chance of leaving "HOLE-DAY CHAR" (a fire) on the previous location for 2 turns which is capable of inflicting one piercing damage to those that travel through or onto it. SANTAR CLOG cannot be harmed by his own flames.

QWERX3 as AN OVERCOOKED TRAINING DUMMY

I'm concerned that Target Practice might be too weak, since there is no inherent miss rate. I may change this to be 5% for all attacks, though, I'm unsure.

Compel looks nice, but I clarified it a little bit.

[PASSIVE: FIREWALL] Enemies that attack or cast damaging spells at you take 1/3 damage, rounded up (minimum 1 damage, even for attacks that end up doing no damage)

as SPINNY

We discussed some of this on Discord, but I decided to make Unscrew Slam 80% accurate instead of 90% and reduce the cooldown to 2, after reforming. You upper and lower halves will also share a health pool, but I'm making a separate reference for their stats and moves.

Each half also now has the passive Unwound, which removed the ability to defend, but effectively gives them a chance to do 2 damage instead of just 1.

From what I can tell, your latest changes to Psychic control make it terribly underpowered. On average it would be highly disadvantageous to use it in combat. If the skill is used as it is now, the following things happen over the course of 2 turns.

Self: Consumes 2 turns. Average action loss: 200%
Opponent: 50% chance to consume 1 turn. Average action loss 50%

Self: 60% chance to take 1 action that does something over two turns. Average attack effectiveness: 60% of a regular attack.
Opponent: 50% chance to take 2 actions, 100% chance to take at least 1 action. Average attack effectiveness: 150%.

Alright, fair enough. Here's the move in question.

[PSYCHIC CONROL] Forfeit control of Pisci to usurp control of a sapient target for one round. Miss your next turn to recharge. 50% chance to fail, 10% chance to target someone nearby instead. (Cooldown 2)

I can change it to only hard cooldown if the move is successful, giving you a turn loss of 150% at current chance values.

Scenario 1: Move fails, you try again next turn. 50%
Scenario 2: Move is successful, you take the opponent's next turn, and recharge on your next turn. 40%.
Scenario 3: Move is successful, but a different enemy is controlled instead. You take their turn and recharge on your next turn. 10%, depending on circumstances.
Scenario 4: Move is successful, but an ally is controlled instead. You take their turn, and recharge on your next turn. 10%, depending on circumstances.

What would you like to change? I can lower the failure rate perhaps.

Here is my proposal.

On a miss, the skill should have an extremely high chance to hit the audience instead of the current 1 in 5 chance. The Audience member that was hit does not necessarily need to be useful. This part isn't so much of a buff to the skill as it is an increase in potential shenanigans. Deliberately attempting to target an audience member should also be a legal action.

Will the audience member take legal action on your character if so?

The lights turn off. The sounds of hastily working construction and set designers surround you, and a cloud of dust begins to form - its complete darkness, and you can't see a thing. Stagehands bump and shove you around, as if they aren't quite sure where to place you. A man booms over an intercom that you weren't aware was there before.

"We go live in 3... 2..."

Soon enough, the stage empties and the fog settles... and the lights snap on with a blinding flash...

Santar Clog, suffering the indignant violation of the XMUX spirit, shifts wildly, seeking a target for its vile retribution. Taking out the stakes and nails, Santar Clog advances towards Cil, and performs the Traditional Xmux Punishment!!

Just curious, how is body difference defined?

Schazer initially said size. I expanded it to include size, shape, materials, etc.

Santar and Ted have what I'll say is 1 degree difference in size, have 1 degree difference in shape, and 2 degrees difference in alignment. However they're both, erm... fluffy. So 3 damage in total before DEF reductions.

If Cil swapped with CA55-ED, they would have zero damage dealt to them, because they're both robots, the same size, humanoid, etc etc.

My initial idea with the skill was basically a The Fly type situation where teleporting yourself where something's clogging the destination point can have serious effects on the transportee's wellbeing. I didn't want to overcomplicate the skill for earthexe's benefit so I stuck to size as the main damage decider, but as long as he's got a consistent system that works for him I'll happily take whatever

Santar Clog skitters over to Cil and clambers on top of him to peform his proper rites! They are both unable to do anything but struggle for the next turn!

Cil is trapped underneath Santar Clog, and cannot do anything this round!
