Question about Phasing Power
#16
Quote:When Super Moves became stats affected they also became dodgable by means other than Super Defense. Its supposed to be fairly hard, but a near instant flat immunity to physical attacks is as overpowered as it sounds. A small effort cost is negligible.

A Super Attack or Super Defense will be effective regardless of your stats, but will be slightly boosted by the relevant stats.

Taken straight from the rules page. Super Moves are not that easily swayed, and are always going to be effective no matter what. They are stats boosted in the sense that, depending on how high a certain stat is, your Super ATK can be more powerful than someone elses. You can't outright dodge or negate one with a Super Defense.

Quote:And the point is that it unfairly affects players based on the 'fluff' of their moves as per the Rules that state choices like 'element' doesn't matter. Except that is does for Phasing. If you are 100% Physical Elemental, Phasing works against all your stuff, or if just your best stuff, your super moves, are 100% Physical, they can dodge what matters.

In the end, they will still tire out and be forced out of it. But even if they can't, what difference does it make? You can have high-ass stats, but if you write like shit, then the chance you'll get your ass kicked is substantially increased. People can write their characters getting their asses handed to them and then win the fight at the end if they write well enough.

So, in this case, say a character is 100% physical attack based and fights a phaser. Here's what I, being a creative writer, might do in this hypothetical situation. I'd do one or more of these things.

A. Flee the fuck away.
B. Use the environment to slow down or perhaps even outright injure the phaser if its energy or elementally based. Water, fire, laser weapons in coruscant, magic stuff in Camelot, etc.
C. Get ass handed to me so I can focus on character/story/etc.

One doesn't have to be able to knock out something that is essentially a ghost in order to beat said ghost.
