• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Question Box

    because why not :( (because indirect healing, I wanted indirect healing) I think focus punch could also be logically interpreted as something like (this is a punch; you took a lot of time charging up the punch and therefore it's very strong, but the move in itself isn't inherently...

    Question Box

    There is precedent, though! I did it! I don't think comboing focus punch with another punching move should be impossible. It might be a lot more inefficient than other combos, if you view it as difficult enough - just adding secondary effect and not damage - but I don't think that's necessary.

    On Statuses

    stopping you right there because I WANT MY ENEMY POISONED :( I like status (and yes, especially poison)! Status, when done well, is fun. That is a boring and unfun attitude. :( I intentionally did not propose making burn's damage bigger; I did that for poison, so it has a niche outside of...

    On Statuses

    I already work those statuses action-based instead of round-based, and indeed, I think most more experienced refs do too; this would probably benefit from being written in to the status descriptions. I would definitely cut the damage by a third if a status was only applied on the third action...

    On Statuses

    Curse works off current health rather than total, so it's a .9 multiplier applied at the end of each round. This does not make curse usable on its own (pain split does, but curse and pain split do make a very good combo); again, taking the situation of both pokemon starting at 100% and the...

    On Statuses

    So I don't really like how most statuses are handled in ASB. For reference, this is what the current DEG has to say about them: Burn and poison are ... mostly useless. They only deal 3% a round/1% an action, so takes three rounds deal 9% damage. Most pokemon get a 90 base power neutrally...

    I told you not to confusionfail, Luke :( Anyway, this is very close to a repeat of the first round's commands, but okay. OTL. Hopefully these will be more clear? Toxic if Tiny Tree Ghost is hittable (not counting substitute: do not toxic substitutes), can be statused (like don't if there's a...

    Mai vs. Zekrom_B0lt

    Apologies for the late evaluation. This test battle has been a bit of a mess all around, hasn't it? Again, there were no major problems with your prose - it describes the battle well enough, is entertaining, and is on par with what's expected of a referee. The calculations were thrown off...
