Wait, so... you can just put literally everything into Speed and still do plenty of damage as well as avoid all incoming damage? Something about that strikes as me as a tad bit unbalanced. Like, what is even the point of the other two stats if Speed can literally do everything on its own?

@Double

Yes, speed is a "safer" way to deal damage, because you know 25% of your speed stat will go to defense and ATTACK. But that doesn't necessarily make it the best.

But attack is the only stat that actually gets rolled. It has a guaranteed effective rate of 50%, but if you roll anything higher, then that is when it starts to become attractive. You could theoretically deal 100% of your attack points if you had amazing luck. To balance that, it effects stamina the harshest.

Then you have defense. With the lowest effect on stamina and a guaranteed 50% effective rate, it is the best way to defend.

So it all comes down to how much risk you are willing to take.

The crowd chanted both combatants names. This was the longest battle they'd seen thus far, and they were loving it. Neither name held more weight than the other. It was as even as the battle itself looked.

When Bakuto attacked, Angela reacted by tackling the after image she hoped was actually Bakuto. She was wrong. She fell right through the illusion as Bakuto started hitting her with whatever he had left. Still, her skin was tough. Even hitting her in critical zones, she barely flinched.

His assault only lasted a few seconds, but he struck her nearly 50 times. When he took a break, she was bleeding even more, and he was breathing even heavier.

results

Angela takes 11 damage from Bakuto's attack and looses 12 power to exhaustion. She has 24 health left and a remaining Power level of 43.
Bakuto takes 0 damage from Angela's attack and looses 19 power to exhaustion. He has 67 health left and a remaining Power Level of 24.

@Darkmoon Angel
Also, you should have used your serious boost and not your secret technique. Since you've used your secret technique against Bakuto already, it's only going to boost your defense by 1.5 (x + 0.5X).

Jak and Daxter meets Pokemon???

That sounds amazing. How many people are you looking for?

@GrandzHelios

Well, this RP is going to be played fast and loose, with a lot of it happening in Discord. So I won't set a limit until it starts feeling like too much for me to keep up with. Probably around 10 people.

@BladeSS4
I'm afraid you math is off. When you combine bonuses, it looks like this...

x + 1x + 0.5x
OR in this case
33 + (1 x 33) + (0.5 x 33) = 85.5

The confusion is this...

x + 1x = 2x
AND
x + 0.5x = 1.5x

So, my apologies, but your speed only goes up to 85.5.
But hey, at least that means less exhaustion too.

Jak and Daxter meets Pokemon???

So I had a dream last night and it made a strong connection between two of my favorite fandoms: Jak and Daxter (which I played through about 1,000 times) and Pokemon (which I still play and GM role-plays for to this day).

It might seem weird to mix the two, but on closer look, I don't think it's weird at all. I always loved the unique environments in the Jak and Daxter games, and I think they go well with all the various Pokemon.

So my idea is this, if you have the Jak and Daxter trilogy at home and want an excuse to pick the game back up, I can give you a reason to do so. In this proposed RP, a mysterious force is brining Pokemon to the Jak and Daxter world. Your character will be a part of the new crimson guard, but they will be a part of a new division called the "Monster Hunters".

To play in this RP, all you have to do is tell me where your character is at and what they are doing. Then I'll say what Pokemon appears. Technically you don't even NEED to play the video game. You could play from memory. But it might enhance the experience.

What do you think?

Trying to conserve his energy, Bakuto charged his opponent at normal speeds. In fact, by the standards set in the last few matches, he was moving slow. Still, they were moving many times faster than the normal human could ever dream of. In fact, many people in the audience liked this better. For once, they could follow the action with their eyes.

When Bakuto's fist hit Angela's skin, he felt the pain in his hand. Then he felt her counter attack a serious punch, right to the jaw. There was no going back now though. She wasn't letting him get away.

The two of them continued this exchange of blows. It was strange, Angela blocked a fair number of hits, but many of Bakuto's attacks landed right on the mark. But it didn't matter. It was like a normal person punching a brick wall. Once Bakuto realized what was going on, he took a quick jump back to regroup.

results

Angela takes 1 damage from Bakuto's attack and looses 30 power to exhaustion. She has 35 health left and a remaining Power level of 55.
Bakuto takes 28 damage from Bakuto's attack and looses 18 power to exhaustion. He has 76 health left and a remaining Power Level of 43.

Also, @BladeSS4, can you change your afterimage image special technique to look like this: Secret Technique: Afterimage: Speed Boost

And @FalloutJack, can you add yours to your character sheet and make it look like this: Secret Technique: Tatsumaki-Ken (Tornado Fist) : Attack Boost

And @Darkmoon Angel, I don't think you've done your secret technique yet have you? Might wanna use it soon!?

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

I believe I did the math on that right for that post. Its 2x for those who have seen the secret technique but haven't experienced it yet right?

@BladeSS4

Correct. And my post is up. Whoever wants to attack next can do so.

The Finals !!!

Angela's running approach had everyone in the stadium on their toes, trying to look around the person in front of them. Nobody wanted to miss even a second of the action, especially when every second mattered so much. The anticipation grew quickly as she approached her motionless target.

Then Bakuto disapeared from his spot, creating more after images that he had become known for. He was using his special technique right out of the gate! He then went to land a powerful hit to his opponent's gut... and it worked. Spit shot out of Angela's mouth as she fought the urge to double over in pain.

Bakuto wasn't going to stop there though. He would attack hundreds of more times, while Angela recovered from the initial blow. She stood her ground. Blocking some attacks, and weaving out of the way of others, but the vast majority landed. She even managed to land a few counter blows, but nothing decisive.

The clash seemed to come to a temporary end when Bakuto jumped backward to catch his breath. He had expended so much energy, but by the look on his face, he felt it was worth it. Angela stood there arms still up in a defensive stance and bleeding from numerous orifices. Compared to her opponent, she had barely moved. She couldn't afford to sit back any longer...

results

Bakuto takes 6 damage from Angela's attack and looses 49 power to exhaustion. He has 104 health left and a remaining Power level of 61.
Angela takes 74 damage from Bakuto's attack and looses 25 power to exhaustion. She has 36 health left and a remaining Power Level of 85.
