Pokemon d&d session 0

Yeah...

First session is over

But nothing important really happened

You can go back and read the letter and still give your character a description

If we have to delay it a week, I don't really care. What I am curious about is whether those who were absent(Cinder(Voltareon) and Leif(WildWorld)) get any XP or that they start at a higher level compared to those who did that little "Tutorial" Battle. I need to start using my spells instead of my Pokemon Moves though. Ray of Frost is pretty good, ditto Frostbite and Sorcerous Burst is pretty OP if I get lucky on D8 rolls(roll 3 x 8's and that's 24 spell damage thanks to my +3 modifier on Charisma). I do have a question though. Shield I can definitely cast on myself but can I cast it on an Ally if I wanted in order to boost their AC and the other benefits that come with it? Obviously, the Protection spell works on any target(not myself) and Absorb Elements only works on attacks aimed at me(or can I absorb/redirect attacks on Allies towards me with it?). Clockwork Soul permits me to change Advantage/Disadvantage situations, which I didn't really have an opportunity to use it in that battle but just learning things as they say. Pokemon Moves have no hit check, which is another reason I should be using my Spells more ;P

It's exactly the same for me.

So just like Absorb Elements then. Makes sense, just have to look into acquiring spells that I can use on the group than just myself(although +5 AC is pretty nice ngl). Absorb Elements reminds me of Bide(Pokémon move), only that the return damage has to be a melee attack and not a ranged one(including spells). Meaning it can lessen incoming damage but applying the return damage can be a bit risky. One question about Frostbite. It forces the target to make a saving throw. If they fail, they take damage but if its successful, they take nothing correct?
