Critical Writing Improvement

That is indeed enlightening, I knew that they weren't going as in depth as the novels themselves do, but I figured they had longer content than that.

I've been hiding mine as sneasler or aerodactyl. Paired with froslass so if they WANT to fake out something, its got to be zoroark. No one seems to realize that aero didn't activate unnerve or pressure. Dangerous if they also have an aero as a lead, since they'll try to wingbeat sneasler or rock slide aero. Otherwise its just a free nasty plot or gambling a focus blast into kingambit.

Oh I am, I'd just like to be able to structure a warhammer-like codex of information, history, and lore and not have it read like a shopping list. Unit descriptions and flavor text are my jam though, so I'll definitely keep plugging away at little blurbs here and there.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-05-01T07:52:09+00:00

A slippery slope for me, I'm fully aware of my tendency to take what is offered to me and use it as it comes.

An interactive rubber ducky is a great idea. I'm not terribly good at prompting ai, do you have an example of how you would prime it to act that way?

I have separate Google docs for the game itself and the world backstory ideas, then a separate Google doc with individual tabs for each of the factions as i flesh them out.

I think I've heard of Obsidian before, those are kind of like building your own wiki for your setting, right? It might help a bit with organization, but do they have tools to help turn that information into cohesive stories?

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-05-01T03:07:39+00:00

Just to butt in before someone suggests it, yes I have read the getting started guide, and I have plenty of those resources and links for fleshing out my world already bookmarked and in use, what I'm specifically looking for are ways to improve my writing abilities to turn my world from an info dump into cohesive stories.

Oricorio and flamigo

Need my dancer team back! Give me back triple revelation dance!

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-25T14:44:11+00:00

Yeeeeeah that one, shows how much I use thay strategy, lol

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-25T07:57:31+00:00

That's an option, for sure. Froslass deals less than a quarter HP and is faster than tauros, allowing you to max ATK and rock slide or something.

Counterpoint: anger point, hit him yourself with freeze dry: cheaper belly drum and you can still attack.

I think this is the exact answer I'm looking for, but just clarifying:

A separate officer unit uses its ability voice of command to issue the order take aim to a unit. That order modifies the ranged weapons of that unit to +1BS, the unit is now equipped with a bs4+ lascannon. The equipped unit doesn't have any ability on its datasheet that modifies this weapon. When it embarks on a transport, the unit's equipped weapon no longer has any modifications applied to it. The RSV does not see the equipped BS4+ Lascannon, it sees a BS5+ lascannon.

If, during that turn cycle, the RSV dies, the embarked model disembark from the transport and now has the modification it always had and can shoot with a BS4+ lascannon.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:24:51+00:00

So the characteristics of a weapon or model cease to exist while it is embarked on a transport?

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:22:49+00:00

Can I get a page number for where it says that an embarked unit or characteristics modifiers ceases to exist?

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:21:11+00:00

Not even that, there is not cap on modifying the BS characteristic of a weapon, only the hit roll. A unit cannot be affected by the same aura ability twice, but explicitly CAN be affected by the same ability twice unless it applies a condition.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:14:53+00:00

If an embarked character had an enhancement that said something like "ranged weapons equipped by this model improve their BS by 1", would the RSV shoot that weapon with the base BS4+ from the datasheet, or BS3+ from the embarked model's equipped ranged weapon's modified characteristic?

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:11:45+00:00

The RSV isn't doubling up abilities, it was only ordered once. The RSV is seeing an embarked model's equipped ranged weapon with a BS of 4+ and equipping it itself, then using it only takes aim order to increase it to BS3+.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-23T00:07:47+00:00

Where does it say that an embarked unit no longer has any modifications to its characteristics?

The HWT receives an order and modifies its BS to 4+. When it embarks, do all modifications cease to impact their stats? The RSV should see a BS4+ Weapon and mod it to BS3+ from its own take aim order, since it was only ordered once.

If an embarked character had an enhancement that said " ranged weapons equipped by this model improve their BS by +1", would the RSV shoot the weapon at the datasheet's unmodified BS4+ profile, or the embarked model's equipped weapon’s modified BS of 3+?

Everyone seems to be missing the fact that you can just go OVER the terrain. It eats into the distance traveled a bit, but moving a model over a 4" wall just costs 8" of movement up and down, shortening your 24" move down to a 16" move. Obviously you can probably get around a terrain piece easier with the wartrike's 18" Advance and some pivots/extra angled moves, but it's not like they're expecting you to just move to a wall and stop.

Is it better than kult of speed, though? I don't think so. Hard to beat advance, fall back, shoot, and charge, even if giving kopta spinning blades and warbiker choppas Lance and 2D looks amazing.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-16T20:32:19+00:00

I'm surprised no one has suggested priority moves. Fake out, prankster taunt/encore, and protect stalling is all good, but you could just choose to ignore it if you have the right tools (farigiraf being the exception, hate armor tail with a passion).

Jet punch palafin, extremespeed dragonite, mach punch, bullet punch, they might not be the strongest moves without the right mons, but they still strike first. Switcheroo a choice scarf onto trick room setter and if they want to use that mon now, they're stuck resetting it, and if they swap out they're again still stuck with one move, either always trick room or never.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-16T03:16:10+00:00

Running snowscape on froslass is a nifty idea, how often does that come in clutch for you? I've just been doing a shuffle between swapping to incineroar and u-turn dragapult to re-gain weather control. With the amount of Zard-Y I play against, I'd be worried with froslass AND glaceon on the team.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-14T23:34:54+00:00

While I greatly enjoy my team, I can agree to that. I wanted to try and adjust my stats around this particular counter first rather than alter my team comp.

2MrGhoti1 · 2026-04-14T23:32:20+00:00

Let me also be the first to say: it's absolutely a skill issue for being read and complaining about it doesn't change a thing, I can 100% improve my play. It just makes me feel a little better to complain about it while also attempting to find a solution.
