However, Nameks DO show progression in using it during the show.
Piccolo, for example, at the start is very drained from growing back a arm. (Raditz blowing off his arm)
At the end however, he regrows his entire body from just the remaining head, and doesn't appear to be drained, at all. (His Statue breaking)

It's because of his energy level...
Rad Saga> Freiza Saga> Babidi Saga
Or was it Nail that lost his arm on Namek...
Anyways, Piccolo has to be at least 20 times stronger in the babidid saga, and have alot more energy to use up.

Yea good point Nori. He did the same with his arm after he fused with Kami and Cell tried to absorb him but only managed to absorb his 'arm juices' or whatever lol....maybe it was just that Kami had better control over that ability and Piccolo didn't?
Tien also had that ability though didn't he?

No, that was just the dub censor. Saying it will grow back.
Retane, I really think you just don't want it in place because it could mean some changes for your Sai Sai regeneration.

If racial traits are getting added in, people are going to lose the "natural" abilities of their race. Namekians, for example, will have to train their ability to regenerate.
This applies across the board, though, so other races will suffer similar "penalties."
You can't honestly think its fair that you get extra abilities just because you're a Namekian.

I just think it's a good idea, and as far as I know, it won't be horribly hard to add.

The home page was a big draw for people originally. A user friendly training system, in my opinion, was really the only thing Chubbs had that others didn't.
I made a suggestion regarding the current best moves but that got shot down, but I still suggest taking another look at it.
In terms of race/ specific stuff, I'm down for anything as long as no race has a distinct advantage/ disadvantage.
Beyond all this, my only suggestion is some way to relate stats to move power. Some moves use energy, some use speed, some use the mind... so overall power shouldn't be the only thing used to determine the relative strength of every move given that some people have decidedly more powerful stats than others. Just a thought, nothing necessary though.

Well, isn't willpower the strength of your techniques? Currently, that is.

The different racial abilities were designed to be balanced asymmetrically. The best example of this is the powerups. Saiyans, for example, might have the highest multiplier for their transformations, but Namekians might get extra abilities (like Telepathy or Regeneration or something) attached to theirs.

What we're not going to do is make one stat (other than PL) govern the strength of a Best Move and then force that on the players. There are plenty of Best Moves that that wouldn't even apply to.
What might happen is saying a player has to "attach" a stat to a Best Move when its made. They choose the stat and it will be listed in their Character Vault (something like this "Burn Knuckle (Speed) - [Description]") so other players have a point of comparison. Still tossing that around, though.

Your suggestion about attaching stats to moves sounds good enough for me.

I'm not making any promises, just so everyone's clear about that.

I once RPed for a few days in DA as a head slowly growing back my body. XD Racial traits are fun as plot devices but get tricky when you're trying to win fights ( if this seems random...sorry I didn't read the whole thread) I just wanted to put that out there, I'll go return to obscurity now.

Rad... there are some moves that dont actually apply to stats... like my Hologram Tech...
What would it be? Willpower?

I'd say willpower because I think it's like a bootleg body split. But I like the idea of having a technique be under a stat.

Racial traits (although I've got the only two at my disposal already), updated shop page, maybe racial transformations.

Meh... if you do racial traits.... I meam I dont like the way you guys orchestrated it.... perhaps... instead make the person earn it ....unless it is a birth right.... I mean... you are going to make Namek BSC able for just by stats? I tihnk thats bull....
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry but I understood your old idea to be something like it.... I mean I'd hate to see the RP aspect vansih....

ALL moves can be connected to a stat in one way or another. I would connect holograms to intelligence but we don't really have an intelligence stat here... so insight would make the most sense to me, but that's just me. Given that Rad said that the user would get to attach the stat, I'm thinking that they would allow you to attach any stat that made sense. Which is quite accommodating.
