SP

[Handsome Jack]

Are you including an increased SP pool like in the first DA, or no?

[Karl Jak]

Nope. It's not game-breaking, so there's no reason to nerf high level characters.

I mostly asked because you're using Thaal's Fight Grading Rubric and it includes the following:

SP Usage
For set-length fights: Add +1 per SP used to the writer's total score.

For organic/ongoing fights: Add 2 points per SP used to the total score of a writer at the end of each round. This should effect damage. A Super Attack and a Super Defense of the same level cancel each other out, but a defense of a lower level reduce the "SP Used" by however many SP it cost (ex: A Tier 3 Super Attack is used, and then a Tier 1 Super Defense is used. Act as though the attacker used 2 SP, for a total of +4 to the score.)

Which gives contestants such as Tearen (level 8) a significant advantage over a level 1 character. That said, there ARE ways to "even the odds", so to say, so it's fine the way it is too. Just good to have some clarification on it.

[Karl Jak]

Yea, there are ways for lower-level characters to deal, but I didn't like the idea of just straight handicapping people who have dedicated time and energy into their characters.

If I level up mid-competition, do I gain that extra SP immediately?

[Karl Jak]

Nope. Your max SP is locked in when purchases become locked.
