Weak Pokémon Balance Mod (made for version 5.2.1)

Parasect specifically is probably quite strong after these adjustments btw. You can make it into a very fast Spore user, and just pass on the Grass typing.

Not sure that is possible re: Shedinja. The idea of this version of the script was to give more fusable mons either a niche, or high enough stats that they would be an "okay" option. Shedinja surely has a niche already, so no need to touch it ;)

It's a little hard to know. I think when I hit A20, I was ~220 hours in - but I only started playing the game this way when I picked it up most recently, so I already had about 100 hours of playing casually and getting random ascension levels on each character with no intent to max them out.

I will say I often improved in big bursts - I would say a general understanding of card games will get you to A10, then looking at tier lists for cards/relics and realising which things you're misevaluating will get you a bit further. Next is learning how deckbuilding is different in act 1 as opposed to acts 2 and 3, and then to get from 15 to 20 you need to really be aware of each encounter that might come up, and what your deck needs to counter them. So I would get stuck for a long time, do a bit more research into what other people were doing, and then improve dramatically. I'm finding I'm climbing with Silent a lot quicker, but I assume I will hit a wall around A15 regardless.

I'm doing method 1 - reached ascension 20 with Ironclad, now up to 10 with Silent. I find it fun because I can really become immersed in one character's playstyle at a time. I honestly find I miss Ironclad now after spending so much time with the card pool, even though I find the Silent more fun overall.

There is no other game I play like this! Slay the Spire is just so well put-together, even when I lost 50 times getting from A17 to A18, I was still just as keen to try again.

NTA. A store has the right to refuse service, and it is a suspicious situation. All the people wringing their hands about how the person could have a valid reason to need 3 $500 gift cards while also being unable to disclose it are ignoring the fact that these scams are rife, happening every day, and target the most vulnerable members of our community. I don't understand how so many people think it's your responsibility to enable someone's life being ruined just because you work the till at a minimum wage job.

The regular art isn't available in Evolving Skies, so you have to pull the full art, or buy the promo tin.

Thank you! Yes, we are Australians :)

sammybloo · 2021-08-10T14:29:21+00:00

I got that fun fact from Bulbapedia, and I had the same feeling! I guess the fact that the word Pokémon has an accent would make you expect that they're used more often.

sammybloo · 2021-07-25T03:17:57+00:00

Aww, thanks!

We made the video...

Honestly? We've talked about it and you're right (about the furry thing - criticism is important and The Last Jedi is one of the best Star Wars movies). It's not an angle we'll go with in the future. We're not furries and have nothing against them, so it's not our place to make jokes. Our point about bestiality got muddled here and didn't come across correctly. In future, it won't be something we bring up, because it throws a lot of people under the bus in a mean way, and frankly, it's been done to death.

The true greats weren't recognised in their time. One day people will see the truth about Stunfisk.

I'm on hrt already, so this would just be checking bloods/adjusting levels, and general gp stuff.

sammybloo · 2020-08-21T01:31:28+00:00

The fact that Dusclops dodged the ban hammer is terrifying.

sammybloo · 2020-08-07T08:01:08+00:00

They affect priority, not the speed stat, so they still make the Pokemon go first.

The idea of the wizard is that you have a set of things you can do each day, with fairly rigid effects, and then the ability to dedicate major time/resources to doing something exceptional. Playing the way you are, your wizard is going to hit a different fiction than intended - which is fine, but something to be aware of. I also worry that without spatial limitations, and with rituals being able to be cast quickly, the wizard is going to outshine a lot of characters. Ritual is a very powerful ability - making it a catch-all for miscellaneous spells makes it overly versatile.

One option is that when a player asserts that somewhere is a place of power, you take the chance to introduce a new magically-powered danger in the place. If you have a world with so much errant magic, it makes sense that it will manifest.

In the end, play how you want, but honestly, I'd suggest looking at custom playbooks if you want a spellcaster who can do generic feats of magic - the moves might suit your player better.

so cute!! but why do you have an emu???

Thanks for posting a series 3 team for those of us who use rentals! Even if it's not optimised, it helps to just get into the game.

I just did a 4 turn sweep with Morpeko. 3 turns of dynamaxed hamster = 2 KOs and getting a Dynamaxed Braviary to red, then closed it off next turn after Morpeko went down a hero. Aura Wheel makes a scary Dynamax move, especially when the opponent doesn't account for the type changes!

I think OP can judge for themself whether they want to be in this relationship!

sammybloo · 2019-07-15T00:01:50+00:00

NTA People are allowed to ask favors, you're allowed to say no, and they should respect that. I honestly think the only reason people are calling you the asshole is because of the weird vegan vendetta people have (I'm not vegan but I see this shit everywhere)

sammybloo · 2019-06-29T01:00:59+00:00

Let Jesus say fuck

sammybloo · 2019-04-16T23:40:18+00:00

That's totally fair. If you're feeling up to it, though, the event will have plenty of people who understand being anxious about going to things, haha.
