Quick and Easy Questions (please read the OP)

[Jack Darby]

If a canon does not exist on site, can you use a move that is an item of theirs?

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

You can get any move you want as long as it's approved and you've bought it. Although if you didn't make it you should probably ask for permission.

You can use moves relating to canons your character isn't from, although I'd advise you to have an IC reason for it - such as seeing someone else do it or simply training with them for example.

[Handsome Jack]

So, question for you.  If you rename it as something else, you could use items from other fandoms, if you adapt them to fit your character right?

Yes. That item performs a specific function. That function isn't specific to a fandom, only the device that does it. Like a Tricorder from Star Trek. A sensor array does the same damn thing.

Your question was already answered.

Say I'm making T1 buff/debuff move.

Could I, theoretically, make it give someone +4 ATK and -4 TEC at the same time (with 1 sp).

Or do the same for a different pair of stats (like +4 SPD, -4 DEF) and increase those numbers for a similar T2 and later T3 super move.

(I'm aware it seems obsolete)

I'm a bit confused as to why you'd want to do this. I'd need to know that before approval.

[Jack Darby]

Are moves that reflect moves back at the user of the move that is reflected considered against the rules, or allowed? If allowed, what stipulations would fall upon them?

[13-Jzall]

As long as it isn't too strong then it is fine.

Yes, they are allowed. The strength of the deflect would be dependent on your stats. Stipulations would be things like your character wouldn't be able to sustain doing it indefinitely, etc. If you were looking to stop Super Moves however, you'd need to make a Super Defense to do it, as a regular move would not cut it.

Can my base be mobile (Something like an imperial knight or warhound class titan), it wouldn't move as fast as it normally would be but it could still probably outrun SPD0/1 primes.

Yes, but each time you want to move it you'd need to spend 500 OM.

Base Relocation – 500 OM

Need to pack up shop and move out? It'll cost you. This changes your base to a temporary portable form until you can find a new place to set up shop.

Do you have any suggestions on how to balance this material for use in a move? http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Nth_Metal It was why I asked about the reflection, because I wasn't sure outright negating certain moves would be allowable.

If you need help coming up with a move for that I'd suggest the Move Creation Workshop. That material can exist here with the same logic that Trixie's lightsaber can. The logic being that there are going to be things that are invulnerable to the cutting ability of the blade and are capable of stopping it. The Omniverse puts everything on the same playing field.

Alright so Bide, like the Pokemon Move. User stands still and takes damage, then unleashes that damage and then some. Ignore the Homing aspect (accuracy bypass) and treat it as a normal attack that can miss. How would the user's Attack Stat alter this effect? Multiplier to the base damage taken, maybe?

[13-Jzall]

I think it would be a combination of all the stats except for maybe SPD.

[Oleander]

I get that Defense lowers the damage taken, Technique to hit, but what would Attack do? It relies on taking damage and releasing as much as was taken in place of a Charge Up or Exhaustion downside. Damage taken to use a move seems like a powerful downside compared to simple exhaustion.

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

@13: Damage is only ever based on ATK. Other stats might make a debuff more effective as part of a move, but the actual damage is based on ATK Vs DEF always.

Other stats only increase damage passively. (High SPD = more sword swings per second, high TEC = accurate attacks, high DEF = being able to stay attacking even while getting hit)

@Shin: If you paid 600 OM to make it variable, then it would be based on your ATK and the damage taken. Its unlikely you could get it multiplicative (3 ATK multiplying damage taken by 3, or a lesser version of that), but your attack would have an impact, as with all moves.

Bide unleashes the damage taken as damage back at your attacker on your next round. Hence the phrase "Bide your time." It would be purely a PvP move if you wanted actual numbers to work for you. Otherwise you'd have to use cut scene like moments in personal role-plays. I could see this letting you directly damage one target based on damage taken on your previous round. This would most likely be restricted to a Super Move.

Defense mitigates damage, yes. It also displays how much of a beating you can take. How many times you're able to get back up.

If a canon NPC secondary gets themselves killed (and the creator doesn't resummon them), does that player at least get their points back?

I need to know this because of just in case.

Yes.

[Handsome Jack]

Addendum: just don't use it as a way to get around the point system, by murdering off people to make way for new ones.

There isn't even a rule against using items from other fandoms. Zack has several Mario-based items from his work with the Koopas. The important thing is to make sure that there's a logic behind it.
