Re: Pokémon Registration Office

Applying to add a Signature Move to my Mudkip, Dominic.

[Dominic] Mudkip (M)
Ability: Torrent
Signature Move: Sword of Fin

After meeting his trainer and had been given his nickname, Dominic has been obsessed with medieval times, cultures, and especially weaponry. Swords, battleaxes, maces, he loved them all. Saddened by the fact that he would never be able to wield such a tool (due to the lack of useful hands), Dominic was determined to find a way to get a sword of his own. Looking at himself in a mirror, Dominic decided that his tall upper fin would be the best choice for a weapon he could easily use. Observing non-steel Pokemon that could use steel type moves (Steel Wing, Iron Head, Metal Claw, Iron Tail), Dominic began practicing temporarily turning his fin to a hard, metal-like substance. After weeks of training, he found by directing much of his energy into his fin, it would toughen up and harden. When in this state, it would make a satisfying ‘clang’ sound when it hit rock or metal. Dominic was ecstatic, promptly deciding his fin was as sword like as it was going to get. He now had a new secret weapon at his disposal, and he was sure no one would see it coming.

Steel / Accuracy 100% / Target: Self / Energy 5%, then 1% per action it is continued / Duration: 9 actions max

Effects:

The fin on top of Dominic’s head hardens until it is of metallic properties. This takes one turn to do. Once the fin is adequately toughened up, Dominic can then swings his head toward his opponent as hard as he can. The damage is caused when the fin makes contact with the opponent, causing 8% Steel type damage. The fin is also impervious to most forms of physical damage, so he can use it to deflect physical attacks increasing his defense by 5%. His fin, and his fin alone takes on the properties of a Steel type Pokemon making it weak against Fire, Fighting, and Ground attacks, and making it strong against Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Steel attacks. Dominic can end this effect early if his so chooses.

Let's try this again now that the forums are undead.

The damage done by a sword-swing should be in the basic signature move description, with the energy and such, rather than in the effects section. "Damage: 8% per strike" should be good. Each use of the sword to attack also must cost energy in addition to the usual 1% upkeep.

Stat increases are usually measured in levels (+1, -3, etc.). A defense increase of 5% is the equivalent of a +5 defense modifier for many referees; clearly, this is too powerful. I don't really see this move giving any more than a +1 defense, and you would need to raise the initial energy cost if you wanted it.

We don't use "turns" to describe lengths of time in ASB; it's "actions" or "rounds." Here you want "action."

Up the usage gap to twelve actions, or up it to nine actions and decrease the attack's maximum duration to six.

The damage should be listed as "8% per use" or something similar to make it clear that each individual swing of the sword does 8% damage, the attack doing no inherent damage itself. You also need to clarify that the 3% tacked on to the end of the energy section represents the cost for each attack with the fin ("3% per use of the sword" would work fine). Add one to the energy cost to make it 4% per use of the sword. The defense effect should be expressed as "defense rises one stage" or similar, not a percentage.
