Wait you're studying programming too? Mai god. We need to exchange, like, coding tips.

I'm not sure that's a thing but still.

Got a few projects due of my own, but I still have a couple of weeks of non-school left for that. Exams come after that though, so I'm gonna have my own bit of downtime sooner or later... Have to program an android app with java and make a game in C#. Fun times.

[Dusk9]

Wait, you can explain why your programming will work? I thought there were only two types of coders, "My code doesn't work and I don't know why" and "My code works and I don't know why."

Oh I've had both of those, don't worry. Many, many times. Hell, one time even the lecturer didn't know why my code wasn't breaking horribly

I envy you for your ability to program. I've tried quite a few times, always with various guides and software, but nothing ever works, besides the basic "hello world" lesson (And it's been long enough that I don't remember that now).

As it turns out, doing a module on something really helps with the whole learning part. Three months ago I couldn't tell the difference between a float and a double. Now I've written a 1500 line chess program from scratch. And it doesn't break when you type random shit into it, either!

Depends - what programming have you done? I only really know C basics (that's what the chess program was written in) and some PIC programming.

And I was only doing one module on each this term, unfortunately. Next year I'm going back to the boring math modelling and circuits and other engineering stuff.

I can imagine so. It's a bit dispiriting when you have the official C# programming guide with you and can't make a simple iterating count. It's seriously the second lesson, they literally give you the exact code you need, and I couldn't make it work. Had two other people check to see what was going wrong, used a few different coding programs, and just... Well, rather than counting to 15 or whatever, it would count to 2 then crash the entire program.

If you're really interested in learning coding, that is a great place to start. There's also https://www.khanacademy.org/ which offers free up-to-college-level courses in a BUNCH of disciplines- from math to history to, in fact, programming.

I've done C, C#, java, javascript, html5 (admittedly those two are more web stuff than programming), java on android, APEX, networking, databanking, programming and hosting on linux, and probably a few others I'm currently forgetting.

Hey, I'm studying to become informatician, so...

[Dusk9]

...yeah, electrical engineers don't get that stuff. Unfortunately. We have PICs (i.e. microprocessors) and C. That's it.

And the C module was technically a Physics module too, so it was like 80% psychics students in those lectures.

[M0rtimer]

Yeah, I figured as much when you said it was just those two modules. Still, that's nice regardless.

Wait... Do we have to be enemies now? I'm pretty sure that there's this thing with programming engineers and ... Every other kind of engineer being rivals and calling each other nerds, no?

Guess I'll keep the hate to Don's game...

[Dusk9]

I wouldn't know - I don't know any other proper programmers. But seeing how electrical engineering is actually closer to programming than it is to civil or mechanical stuff, you'd think we'd be allies instead....

[M0rtimer]

programming engineer: good for nothing electrical engineers, think they know what it takes to code...

electrical engineer: good for nothing programming engineers, think they know what it takes to program a killer robot...



... I have to admit, in hindsight, the second option sounds cooler.

[Dusk9]

I can design and build the robots, then you can program them to horribly murder all our enemies.

It's a match made in heaven

[SamWiser]

Why in the world did I take Kate with me in the gym rather than Percy? Looking over it, it seems that Percy would be much more helpful. Immune to ground type moves, Yawn, Metronome. A bunch of stuff.

[Dusk9]

Rock types. Probably your reasoning there.

[SamWiser]

Yeah, probably. I also never considered the possibility of a water-rock portion to the gym.

So, exp.
Rex gains 1926 EXP points, gaining a point in DEF.
Alexander gains 1605*1.2=1926 EXP points, gaining a point in SPD.
Nero gains the remaining 669 points, gaining no levels.

[Dlover]

If hobo was still injured, why is he at full health in the previous update? Actually, thinking of this, how much is healed by resting? I can't find anything about it in the PTA books.

[SamWiser]

Wait, all our pokemon are healed up again after each battle, right?

[SuperVaderMan]

I forgot that Poison affects the target at the end of the round. I got confused because Weather effects do damage at the start of a round.

I was also going to complain about PTA having inconsistent rules like that, but then I noticed PTU does the same thing. What

[Dlover]

That's how the game works, isn't it?

[SamWiser]

I'd need to check to be sure, but I'm 90% certain that weather damage hits after the turn. I'm at work right now, but get home I'll go into a desert and find out for sure.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Weather: end of turn
Posion: end of turn
Burn: end of turn
Traps: end of turn
Leech seed: end of turn

Confusion: beggining of turn
Spikes/rocks: when switched out

[Arch Lich Burns]

So I have been bored, and started to stat as Carrie for ptu. It was...a bit hard at first but, I think I figured out what classes she would be. Aura Guardian (or Disiple)/Druid/Coach/Carrier/Brawler

The last two would probably change. I choose Druid rather than Tide Drinker is because I felt it was much more closer to nature, and the fact I did not want to step on Dlover's toes when he got Tide drinker. I chose Aura guardian/Disciple because I felt Medium did not quite fit her, and channeler was a bit more...social than Carrie would have went with if that makes sense.

[Dlover]

Eh, don't worry about stepping on my toes. After investigating PTU, Ian's not a character I would want to build. I just wouldn't be able to make it work. If you really want to see my working on that decision;

► Show Spoiler

In terms of skills, Ian would fit with Focus, Intuition and either Combat or Survival. Focus and intuition are good for the base Telekinetic and Telepath classes, but when it comes to the elemental classes in Game of Throhs? You have to have the type affinity to take the specific classes, and you can only get one type affinity when making your character or under very special circumstances that the GM agrees to. You also have to have Psychic affinity to take the psychic classes, so Tidedrinker and Fire Bringer, which would match my elemental plans, would be completely blocked off to me. Even if I could have the affinities, Ian's skills would fit poorly. He'd need Intimidate for Fire Bringer, and both Athletics and Acrobatics for Tidedrinker. And I don't have a clue what Empath would relate to. Druid? Glamour Weaver? Just plain old Medic? He wouldn't at all have skills to fit any of those.

[Dusk9]

► Show Spoiler

As I said over in Don's game, from what I can see, there's actually nothing saying you can't have multiple Elemental Connections. As long as you take them at the start of your character creation, you can have as many as you want (up to three, since that's the Edge limit at Lv1). The "only one" limit applies to the Elementalist classes, not the Edge.

But yeah, there's nothing even remotely close to Empath in PTU. The closest I could find was White Medium, but even that isn't really a good fit, since it's healing abilities are so limited.

[Dlover]

► Show Spoiler

Mm, in that case, I'd probably be good with just working into Tidedrinker, drop the plan for fire element, but I do feel Empath is a more defining characteristic, the idea that he can heal and harm. More so than being able to walk on slow moving water and breathe underwater for something like half an hour.

[Nioca]

Having looked through the homebrew recently, there is something that may fit: Vitalist.

[Dlover]

Hm, I kind of expect most homebrew stuff to be horribly broken, but that's not bad, really. Small amount of healing injuries, the ability to take injuries from another to the Vitalist, Aqua Ring for a bit of healing (Though not nearly as much as I'd hope, but it does last.) It's not a perfect match, but it's pretty close.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Lookin at some homebrew for ya.

Vitalist with the shuffling of injuries and healing hp I figured this was really close to Ian's personality.

Damn you ninjas!!!

Actually they have other members pointing out potential brokeness...so it is decently balanced.
