Bodyblock = CT: None

Another day, another simple policy discussion wrapped up & moved to voting. This time, it is Bodyblock & its CT Status. What should it be? We will find out ITT. This is Bodyblock as it stands:

Bodyblock: The Pokemon leaps in front of an ally and becomes the target of all single-target attacks that are directed at that Pokemon for the remainder of the action in which it is used, except those attacks that strike targets regardless of position or target in such a manner that make blocking them impractical (ex. Earth Power or Thunder). When used in a combo, the blocking Pokemon will block for the target for the initial action and the cooldown action. This command will fail unless the size class of the blocking Pokemon is the same as or greater than that of the target, or if the Pokemon is smaller, but within 0.3m PokeDex size of the target (ex. Magmar and Electabuzz). If the Pokemon's PokeDex size is larger but the Size Class is smaller (most serpentine Pokemon) Bodyblock can still be used successfully. Because the Pokemon is intentionally blocking moves, all attacks used against the blocking Pokemon will never miss for the action(s) it is blocking. Attacks directed at the target will instead use the blocking Pokemon's typing, defensive stats, and stage boosts for calculating the damage dealt. If a Bodyblocking Pokemon is targeted by a high impact attack, Bodyblock will be broken through if the sum of this Pokemon and the Bodyblocked Ally's Weight Class are less than the Weight Class of the attacker.

Command Type: Universal | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 5 | Priority: 0 | CT: Deferring

Should we decide to change Bodyblock's CT to None, then the new description will be this:

Bodyblock: The Pokemon leaps in front of an ally and becomes the target of all single-target attacks that are directed at that Pokemon for the remainder of the action in which it is used, except those attacks that strike targets regardless of position or target in such a manner that make blocking them impractical (ex.

If a Bodyblocking Pokemon is targeted by a high impact attack, Bodyblock will be broken through if the sum of this Pokemon and the Bodyblocked Ally's Weight Class are less than the Weight Class of the attacker.

This vote will be a simple Single vote where Council Members will only vote for one option. The options are:

What should Bodyblock's combination type be?
CT: Deferring
CT: None

A vote for CT: Deferring is a vote for keeping things the same, & a vote for CT: None is a vote for banning Bodyblock from being used in any combination.

First to 5 votes is a majority. Other than that, time to Bodyblock your friend... or something... -.-'

Oh, & new council member ZhengTann is permitted to vote in this thread... Like we did not know already...

--------------------

What should Bodyblock's combination type be?
CT: None

Bodyblock combos: Kill them with fire. WITH FIRE. WITH PITCHFORKS. WITH ANY OTHER FAR-FETCHED WEAPON YOU CAN THINK OF.

If it weren't for the other commands having CT: None too, there might have been another way. But they are, so there isn't.
