I'm aware that writing moves can be a headache, and it can also be a headache to get them approved! In an attempt to make this easier both for members and staff, I've added some stuff to the Writing Moves part of the moves page. Basically assumptions such as:
"Unless otherwise stated, we assume ranged moves are neither easier nor harder to aim than an average projectile of its type, or a thrown object for spells and the like."
and
"Unless the move requires you to keep your focus, we assume it's fire-and-forget."
This means you shouldn't have to painstakingly include every detail on the list, and it should be clearer what is required. For example:
"Length is required for all melee weapons, width should be included for axe-heads, greatsword blades or other very large weapons."
and
"Once activated, how fast does it travel? Fast as a thrown ball or slower? Arrow? Bullet? Required for original attacks and spells, but not for bullets and arrows unless they are different from the assumed speed."
Hopefully these changes are good? If you have any feedback, please put it in this Feedback topic. Thanks!

Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
