Sue finished a dungeon! She can gain one new ability from this list:
Best Friends: When HP is restored by another character’s action, that character also recovers 1 HP if currently below half their maximum.
Complete Set: +1 Atk and Def if inventory is full with no duplicate items. Stacked items do not count as duplicates, but only full stacks count towards full inventory.
Doodles I: 2 bonus entries for Atlas.
Fanfiction I: 10 bonus entries for Equipment Catalogue.
Headcanon: Once per dungeon, if an ally dies in a different room, that ally survives with 1 HP.
Hungry for Lore: Recover 1 HP when in the same room while discovering a new item or identifying a new enemy.
OCs I: 5 bonus entries for Monsterpedia.
Research II: Twice per dungeon can determine the attributes and abilities of a monster in the current room.
Retcon: If an owned pet dies, it instead leaves the dungeon.
Shipping: +2 HP per character in the party with full Bond.
Spoilers II: Twice per dungeon can explain how to solve a puzzle in the current room.
True Love’s First Kiss: When dead, can be revived at 1 HP by another character. Each character can only ever perform this revival once.
Honestly, headcanon or retcon seem most useful. Headcanon means we wouldn’t need to bring amad and his bond blocking sketchy.
So headcanon for me
“dies in a different room” – and what if the ally dies in the same room?
Yeah that’s the only real problem with this Skill. Having said that, it’s still a great Oh Shit Button.
Headcanon only works if they’re in a different room than Sue. So far when we’ve miscalculated it’s been on big fights with most of the party around.
I wonder, would BestFriends get a healing bonus from the robes?
I like True Love’s First Kiss too. It allows her to revive multiple time per dungeon in a pinch and is a good safety net if she rolls bad cuz we rely on dodge rings rather than def on her.
Oh my god. Up to three revivals first time. Up to two revivals second time (because of Ricky).
And actually, it does NOT say “another Party Member”, it says “another character”, so if we have some friendly NPCs, like family of 5 kobolds before, we might get 5 free revivals??
It’s so ridiculous we could even start killing her on purpose and make a returning gag.
Would pets count as characters?
Spoilers II. Getting solutions handed to us can save a lot of wasted turns.
This is good. Knowledge is time, safety, and efficiency. If we can’t take it now, that should be the next one.
Strong agree. We won’t take Sue with us to enough dungeons to build her in any of the directions that are avaible to us.Healing and Ressurections are nice, but we simply won’t use her enough to get them to make the build work.
I would prefer to lean into what she already does. Gives us certainity about Dungeon Elements.
Spoilers II. At least have a another use of her most useful one shot ability if you have to bring the literally worst character along.
Complete set. But only if every character needs to have full inventory. Including pets.
