Rock Smash + Rock Smash

[FMD]

Current wording:

The user strikes the target with precision that could split boulders. The attack can fracture the target's armor and lower their Defense by one (1) stage. If combined with a contact attack that can flinch, lower defense, or has a high critical-hit rate, it increases the BAP of the combining attack by 50% (1.5x). If combined with a "Bone," "Gear," "Rock," or "Whip" move, the BAP of Rock Smash doubles (2x), Rock Smash has 100% Effect Chance instead of 50%, and the attack retains the combining move's contact property. Combinations with multi-hit moves only lower Defense once.

A) Reword them to not stack boosts.
B) Reword Rock Smash only to cost 5 more base EN cost.
C) Reword Rock Smash to only stack the 1.5x multiplier.
D) Reword Rock Smash to only stack the 2x multiplier.
E) Do nothing.

Cut bottom two options after first voting round then revote among remainder

Option C is consistent with Ember and co. so yeah.
If Matezoide's vote makes it so we can't get a simple majority, then I agree with Tex.

 

[FMD]

Agreed.

2-2-1 on A-C-D respectively. Removing D from the slate and using Maxim's second option yields simple majority on C. Same thing happens if we cut off options B and E.

Majority on C). Rock Smash now stacks 1.5x multiplier on itself, the same with Ember, Thunder Shock, and Rock Throw.
