I know Link is kind of a monster, but keep in mind that he's Link. Along with Fox, Samus, and Red, I would place him as one of the most capable in the Nintendoverse, due purely to his sheer ability to kick ass. Also, I'm still working out kinks in the magic system, so bear with that while I revise this sheet to reflect what I want. Basically, one needs a MoM AN equal to the Difficulty of a magic item to use it. What I'm trying to decide now is whether or not I want to boost Link's MoM and the Difficulties of some of these items or keep Link's Action lower and keep the items where they are.

Mastery of Magic[/u]

CL = AN + 4 + Options

A Master of Magic commands control of the world in a way unlike many others. While some have control over various aspects of nature (such as one that Masters weather or fire), a Master of Magic has control over elements that form even those more base aspects of the world. While most Masters of Magic only display minimal mastery, there are few with a strong focus on the magical arts. Those with such a focus are either feared or respected by those that know them, for the power is something mighty.

Picking Mastery of Magic considers much more than just being a standard "sorceror." Most sorcerors command a specific element of magic, such as Water or Electricity, but those with a Mastery over Magic itself have been born with something special. Mastery of Magic is not an Action to be taken lightly, as it will award you with as much grief as it does benefit.

Options:

• Use magical items (+1)
  
• Combine with Close Combat (+2)
  
• Force Blast (+1)
  
• Create/Manipulate (+2)
  
• Any other "Master of Elements" Option, under approval of GM

Rules for Action Box:

• All Actions take 1 panel per stone of effect to use
  
• In order to use a magical item, one must have a MoM AN equal to the Difficulty of the item
  
• No individual effect may use more than 6 stones

======

What I'm trying to stress with this is that Mastery of Magic is a big deal. If you are proficient enough in magic to have this Action, that's saying something big. The reason I kept two of the limitations from MoM in the book is because I feel they need to be in there to balance this Action out. The major use for this Action is for magical items and, despite my including them in this game, I would really rather not have them thrown around all over the place. After all, this isn't D&D. That said, magical items are powerful. Look at the Link CAD; he's a beast as it is, but with his equipment he's nearly unstoppable (and I'm realizing I've forgotten to add a few things to his CAD). If you want to be the type of Sorceror that throws around fireballs or brings inanimate things to life, choose Actions to do that, because MoM is generally geared toward something else. If you do wish to use MoM, that's fine by me, but just remember what it entails and that my view of it may be different from your own.

Also: All those fancy side Actions related to MoM from the Core Book (Sorcery, Magical Travel, etc.) are cut.

I have to say, Pokémon training seems terribly overpriced. It seems like Animal Training on some serious steroids with a couple extras. I understand that it does a lot more than just let you catch the critters and use them in battle, but even substituting for social skills and general knowledge only goes so far. Pokémon Training is closer in cost to Power Cosmic than it is to expensive skills like Ninja or Genetic Engineering. Am I the only one who finds that unreasonable?

For another point, I always imagined Pokémon Training as an action with Specialties. Just a few example specialties: any Pokémon type, Catching pokémon, commanding pokémon in battle, using pokémon out of battle, racing pokémon

EDIT: I think I figured out the logic behind this price. While most Pokémon are not insanely powerful, the few that are (like Mewtwo, Celebi, and to a lesser extent Alakazam, and Gengar) rival the awesome Power Cosmic. Still, those few would have much higher difficulty than commonplace ones such as Pikachu and Magikarp.

Also, If I am understanding correctly, the original Animal Training action requires you to pay for your animal sidekick separately, while Pokémon Training does not. Is that correct?

Alright. I'm not going to go crazy with comments about Mario or Link, because the write-ups for them are actually really good. In fact, I'm glad you didn't feel a need to list all of Link's equipment, because otherwise that list would fill an entire post by itself. (Hookshot, Iron Boots, Lens of Truth, Zora Tunic, Biggoron's Sword...)

[Brainstem]

You're correct; with Pokémon Training, you don't pay for your sidekicks. If that were the case, Pokémon Trainers would have to take on immense challenges every time they caught a new Pokémon. With a game centered around the idea of "Gotta Catch 'em All!," this many challenges would simply be too much to be reasonable.

Also, it's as expensive as it is because it allows a vast amount of power to the Trainers that isn't available to others. Other characters, if they want to make up for a weakness, have to spend LoE out the wazoo in order to become even remotely effective at something new, whereas a Pokémon Trainer with all Water types simply needs to catch a Ground type and he's set. Can't reach a spot? Catch a Flying type. It allows customizability that others don't have.

I'm also thinking about scrapping the MoM Action as I've written it and just a "Use Magic Item" Action at CL = AN+6, then make the Magic effects based on purchasing separate powers. I'm still just tossing this around right now, as I'm not sure how else to reflect Link's staple Spin-Attack, but it might help make things a little more coherent.

*For every panel Samus spends charging her Arm Cannon, she must spend an equal number of panels as the cannon cools down


So it turns out Samus is a total beast, surprise surprise. Thankfully, if you guys ever do have to encounter her, it won't be until you have amassed a very large amount of LoE, making it an almost survivable mission. There is a reason she's one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy! Coming next will be Fox!

[Jet]

Well, yeah, Samus is a beast, in both forms. You could also include her Zero Suit and Whip-blade as well.

As for Red, he has a lot more equipment, like Pokedex, Pokeballs and other important stuff. And lets scarp listing all those rods, herbs and potions while we're at it...

And Wolt... you mean that Archer from Fire Emblem 5? Was he actually Important, couse all I can remember about him was that he was pretty usefull for being one of few Archers in the game. Did I missed something?

[Brainstem]

No, you missed nothing at all. I'm setting the FE world in Elibe (since it's the Fire Emblem continent I'm most familiar with) and I had to fabricate some things to be going on there. Basically he's been thrust into the de facto position of leader after Roy was assassinated. Lilina would be the one to take charge, but she's in a deep depression due to Roy's death. But no, he wasn't actually important until I decided to make him important.

And of course! How could I forget about the Pokédex! Gosh... I'm kind of ashamed.
