Does replace also require? #48

Closed ghost closed 12 years ago

ghost commented 12 years ago

Many higher level advanced moves either have a lower level move as a "requirement," or they state that they "replace" a lower level move.

I feel that it is unclear that if higher level move B replaces lower level move A, is that character required to have A before taking B?

I thought we had a paragraph somewhere in the text about Requires and Replaces, but we don't!

You can only take a Replaces move if you have the move it Replaces.

You very well may have, and I could have totally missed it. I need to read the 2.2 tonight anyway, so I'll search for it.

Sagelt commented 12 years ago

I checked the two places I thought it might be and it wasn't in either. I'm pretty sure we don't actually explain Replaces and Requires anywhere.

Requires is pretty self explanatory. Maybe a short one paragraph explanation of Replace and Require in either the section where you explain Advanced Moves or Leveling up.

Maybe wording it as 'ability x upgrades ability y' would make it clear enough that the other one is required, without getting too verbose.

Sagelt commented 12 years ago

No matter what the one-word tag is, we need to have a short explanation somewhere.

"Upgrades" is a pretty good choice, but Sage is right, we'll add some text explaining it, too.
