Power Switching? - Ruhiel - 01-11-2006
Bit of a strange question from me here... I expect it to be shot down, but I noticed Trunks's "Full Metal Trunks" move, and decided to go ahead and ask anyway.
I know that no best move is allowed to increase your power by any means, only drain it. But what I'd like to know is if it's possible to have a move that causes one stat to decrease, and another to increase by the same interval of the decrease, or possibly a bit less, due to loss of power in the switch.
To cut to the chase, is it possible to have a move that would temporarily cause a stat or group of stats to drop by a certain amount, and then transfer over to another stat or group of stats?
Like say, you switch off 50 Strength and Attack Power points for <50 points in Speed and Stamina.
I'm not expecting this to go through, but if it is, it would certainly make for some interesting character thoughts and choices. Or perhaps this has always been allowed, and I was just completely oblivious to it.

No

Aight, thought so. All I needed to hear.

I don't see the problem with it, really. Ki levels would remain the same, obviously, and you wouldn't be able to sustain that state for too long, but I don't think there's a huge problem with that.
Just so I'm 100% clear about this. You're talking along the lines of when Trunks bulked up, right? He became ridiculously strong, but also couldn't move worth shit.

Well, I imagine if Rad and Trunks found a way to make themselves faster without abusing any rules, I'm sure you could find a way to, say, get stronger via the same means. Granted, it'll take some doing, but your original idea is pretty snazzy, too.

From my standpoint, if you were willing to use a Best Move slot to create a powerup type move like that, and if we oked it (meaning it made common sense checks), then I wouldn't see a problem. In the show, Jeice and others had these stupid ass "SPEED UP!" type attacks that would increase their strength or speed or something, so its not really that hard.

As long as it takes some energy to do so, and would have to be stopped after a little while, I'm okay with it.

Sweet. I thought this had gotten shot down. I was merely asking this because it would be along the lines of one of the moves I would be switching around for my character soon. Thanks staff, and I won't abuse this. Just would make battles a bit let monotonous, and mix things up a bit.
