Bump. These are all simple! C'mon.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

The nomenclature on the first implies that it may be generating 3 charges. If that's the intent, no bueno. Otherwise, I'd just drop the "additional" from the effect there so that it is clear that you are only generating two charges.

 

Drop the "additional" from the second technique as well. Also, usable twice per battle and standard 5% to fail.

 

Third... This is so expensive that it's basically unfeasible to use, but nothing is technically wrong with it.

[Warr]

Removed the additional from both, but bumped the stated amount in the second to two, because blocking already adds 1 in normal circumstances, to the gained charges. Given that at 1X, with a 5% fail chance I could just negate the attack entirely, I feel this is fair.

[Warr]

Bump. Would really like these to get looked at/approved. They're simple and would be rather useful to have.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

These look good to me now, but based on your reply above, I do need to inform you that you can only gain charges from a single source per turn. That means that if you generate 2 from this, you wouldn't generate 1 from your style naturally blocking.

Which is why I did it that way as far as bumping charges, to give it some incentive to be done.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Approved

[Peregine]

The upkeep for the first technique is a little off? Even if you don't count the cost of the 2 charges, 90% of 413 is 372.

 

Second needs a line specifying the value of X.

 

Third is like the first; your upkeep is too low. 90% of 894 is 804.

No Activity; Moving to Dead

[Warr]

Bumping this.

[PandaMattMatt]

We don't do upkeeps anymore. You gotta pay, upfront, for each turn of stat increase.

[almondsAndRain]

As Panda said, we no longer do upkeeps in techniques. And like I said via PM, I'm moving things that haven't been touched to dead.
