House Rules

The game uses standard 1.05 rules with all three Playtest Packets applied, with the exception of the following changes. In addition, you may choose to use upgraded classes from the Unoffical Patch.

### **General Pokemon Changes:**

* **A pokemon can only learn 1 N-Move or Egg Move from a particular teacher**
	+ Both of these only apply to pokemon the teacher *doesn't* own
* **They also can only learn one general Tutor move from that teacher**
	+ Only applies to pokemon the teacher *doesn't* own
* **Capturing Pokemon**
	+ If you fail to capture a pokemon with a capture roll, the pokeball is not lost but instead can be recovered with an extended action.
	+ Pokeballs can capture all fainted pokemon, no check needed
	+ Extremely disloyal pokemon need to be recaptured to return them to their pokeball, but you get a +5 bonus to the roll
	+ Captured unfainted pokemon can break out of their pokeballs, but only if they're extrodinarily strong. Generally I'll warn you OOC if they're that strong and you guys start trying to capture.
* **Stealing Pokemon**
	+ You can only steal a pokemon if you have their original pokeball. Attempts to catch owned pokemon in another pokeball will fail
	+ If the pokemon is not in their pokeball and considers you a threat, they typically have to be returned as if they were extremely disloyal
* **Mixed Power - Edge** (Replaces Mixed Attacker)
	+ Prerequisites: Level 10, invested at least 5 Level-up stats into both attack and Special attack
	+ Costs 2 TP
	+ The user gains the Weird Power Ability

### **Class Changes**

* **Coordinator**
	+ Adaptable Performance is Replaced by Decisive Director as a prerequisite for Innovation.
* **Enduring Soul**
	+ Like Stat Ace, the base feat also gives your pokemon +1 base HP, plus and additional +1 for every 10 levels. However, you need at least 1 pokemon with 15+ in a stat to qualify for it.
	+ Shrug Off
		- Doesn't require Staying Power
	+ Awareness

	+ However, Perish Song replaced by Hyper Voice, and Cover Song doesn't work with Sing, Heal Bell, Perish Song, or Relic Song
* **Style Expert**
	+ Ignore poffins, we'll just assume your pokemon qualify for the features. This includes poffins needed to qualify for the class.
	+ The Base Feat is changed:
		- At Will, Extended Action
		- Target: Your Pokemon with at least 1 Tutor Point
		- Effect: Your Pokemon loses 1 TP and permanently gains +2 to Accuracy with all moves of your chosen Style. In addition, they look notably more Beautiful/Cool/Cute/Smart/Tough than a normal pokemon of their type.
* **Type Ace**
	+ Only requires 1 pokemon of the proper type as a prerequisite
* **Stat Ace**
	+ Only requires 2 pokemon to have the stat of 20+ instead of 3

### **Other Changes**

	+ All Eevee forms must be 15 to Evolve
* **Vitamin Prices Reduced**
	+ Stat increasing vitamins only cost 100. Stat decreasing stuff only costs 50.

	+ Running start increases Long Jump by 1, if you pass a DC 7 check.
	+ Running start still applies to High Jump, but also now requires the DC 7 check
