If it is put into the class, it could easily be seen as a must have generic aspect of for it. I'm not sure WHERE to put it in the class overall, but an extended action "ritual" may be a good way to go about "attuning" to a specific pokeball type. Maybe (just pulling numbers out of a wazoo)... Harmonized Attunement Prerequisites: Summoner, Novice Occult Education Daily x2(or 3) - Extended action (variable*) Effect: You meditate for a period of time, focusing on a special object in your possession. Once the time is over, you can change your Binding Spell to the thematic equivalent of your special object as a Free Action. Each special object gives one Charge of the changed Binding Spell, but the Charge is not used until a successful Capture is made. Harmonized Attunement lasts for 24 hours/1 day and can be performed as part of an Extended Rest. Special Object: Either a Pokeball type or ritual components. Working with your GM, decide on a list of thematic campaign appropriate items. Below are two examples that should help develop a baseline. Per GM discretion, you can design your own Custom Bindings. Heavy Binding: An empty Heavy Ball OR a fist sized stone wrapped in rope. Ornamental Binding: An empty Luxury Ball OR a gemstone in a velvet pouch. *Variable: Divide 3 by your Occult Education Rank. That is how many hours it will take to attune to a special object. Only one attunement can be performed at a time. The one charge per object keeps you from giving a middle finger to the economy and non-Summoners. And while it's not RAW, it is RAI that a Pokeball in the ritual cannot be used to capture a Pokemon; I just couldn't think of a way to word it without making the Ritual a One Ball Per Day thing. At least without throwing even more words in there... It's all a little wordy (I can't help it, I love language), but I think it gets the point across. |

Echoing the appreciation that a summoner class doesn't ignore Pokémon here! Though I also have to agree that Solid Rock Form is worded oddly. What I think you were going for is something like:
It makes things a little easier since that's the language that gets used in other places (and also doesn't make Solid Rock Form twice as good against doubly-super-effective attacks, which the wording you have now seems like it might do). |

I took Carnacki's wording and ran with it; while the original intent was, indeed, to make it so that the Solid Rock Form summon just wouldn't take super-effective damage at all, it seems obvious that people expect it to simply provide a step of resistance. So, now it does! As for using a Pokeball... You still can, technically. You just are no longer required to use Pokeballs. I've adjusted the Binding Spell and the summoning notes slightly to reflect this and bring it to light more, specifically by cutting the cost to 1-2 AP instead of 1-3. The way the math works out, a maxed-out Summoner would now be able to basically throw Ultra Balls as they desire, but they might still benefit from properly-used Pokeballs. I also added a line to the summoning notes about this: You can put a Pokemon from Pokeball to summonable as an Extended action, and the Pokemon retains the effects of the Pokeball they used to live in. So I'm leery to let people use a Pokeball *plus* their Binding Spell. That'd be a crazy powerful capture attempt; as it stands now, it's just a good shot, but a properly-chosen Pokeball could still be superior (and thus, CapSpec isn't completely outdone by Summoner in one go). |
