Updated Moves List for BTEWv2

The Lieutenant already gave you the rundown on moves at boot camp. This is an update to that post and will serve as a reference when stating mon with moves. The tips and basic ideas behind the previous move sets are still intact. The moves have been edited to be more impactful and more focused on their Type's theme. Having a mon of a certain type will *feel* different than having another.

As a starting note, with all the effort I've put into the Moves (128 of them! this is draft 2!) and all the focus put into them by the Gameboy games that inspired this hack, it's easy to limit the ability of our mon to these proscribed moves. Don't do that! Lean on Maneuvers and the shared world in your mind and use the rules for description rather than prescription.



Where's My Antidote?!
Status effects may be successfully applied by using a maneuver. By default, mon save against status effects at the end of their turn. Some status effects have other save conditions which are specified. Also, in cases where a status could reasonably be overcome with some effort, a maneuver may be used by an affected mon to make a save against or simply remove a status effect. This is up to the GM. For example, it is hard to imagine a course of action that would alleviate a burn by simple effort, however, you may find it reasonable that a water or ice legamon would be able to do so.

Each Type has a default status effect that they can apply to a target using a Maneuver:

Status Moves:
Normal: Taunt. Taunted mon cannot maneuver and can only use damaging use attacks or moves that target the taunter.
Grass: Drain. Drained mon take [level/3] grass damage which heals the attacker each turn.
Water: Drench. Drenched 'mon's highest stat is reduced to equal their lowest stat.
Fire: Burning. Burning ‘mon take 1 fire damage each turn, increasing by 1 for each MD used on fire-type moves.
Flying: Knockdown. Knocked down mon cannot defend against physical attacks and have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of the next round. A maneuver can be used to get up before then.
Bug: Itch. Itching mon cannot use maneuvers.
Toxin: Poisoned. Poisoned mon take 1 poison damage each turn. Stackable. On a successful save, take poison damage again, then end the condition.
Earth: Snare. Snared mon cannot move or switch out.
Electric: Paralyze. Save at the beginning of each turn. On a success, skip turn and end the condition.
Iron: Metal Screech. Mon subject to this condition have their Special Defense reduced to equal their lowest stat.
Fighting: Stagger. Staggered mon can’t use Moves during their next turn, then the condition ends.
Psychic: Confused. Confused mon take [level] damage when removing this condition.
Dark: Flinch. Flinching mon lose their next turn. Flinch can only be applied during the first round of combat.
Ghost: Sleep. Sleeping legamon cannot act or oppose attacks. If any damage is taken, immediately awake and take your turn.
Dragon: Fear. Afraid mon must switch out if possible and if not, have their physical and special damage die reduced a step.
Light: Blind. Blinded mon reduce their Attack and Special Attack to match their lowest stat.

Others:
Restrained. Restrained mon cannot use maneuvers or move.
Ensorcell'd. Ensorcell'd mon skip their next turn, then have their attack and special attack damage die increased a step.
Frostbite. Frostbitten mon have their physical attack damage die reduced to a d4.
