LEGAMON: Trainers, Items, and Moves

Trainers
Trainers are powerful, but only through the strength of their friends and allies. When you want to do something in the world of Legamon, you either can obviously do it (roleplay out the effects and consequences), or you need a Legamon to help you. This game isn't about the trainer's stats - it's about their legamon, their strategies, and their creativity. To create your character, answer the following prompts from your character's point of view.
 
1. Which part of Cataclys did you grow up in? Which species' of 'mon did you see most often? Which 'mon made a big impression on you?
 
2. Write down a significant event in your life and the lesson you learned from it, a skill you learned in your upbringing that you're good at, and a goal you want to achieve.
 
3. Choose a Level 1 'mon to be your Starter Legamon. You've bonded over your lives. How did you meet, and why did they choose you?
 
4. Which person in your your life cares about you enough to look for you if you go missing?

Items
Instead of commanding their 'mon to use a move, a trainers can instead use their 'mon's turn to apply an item to it. ‘mon can hold 1 item each and will use it at the start of their turn, at the first opportunity. If the ‘mon uses it, they can still take their turn afterwards. Some items can be foraged in the wilderness, some are given by friends and comrades, and some must be purchased from the powers that threaten to devour the Cataclys region whole.

20 Items
Stim Candy: Roll the ‘mon’s Hit Dice, then restore that much Health. Consumable.
Smelling Salts: Remove a Status Condition from your ‘mon. Consumable.
Power Juice!™: Give the ‘mon an extra Power Die until the end of the battle. Consumable.
Ablative Plate: Give the 'mon +2 Armor. Consumed when hit with a physical attack.
Sharpener: Give the 'mon +2 Attack. Bonus wears off when hitting with a physical attack.

Hazard Paste: Give the 'mon +2 Save (but not Save Target). Bonus wears off when failing a save.
Incense Stick: Give the 'mon +2 to Save Target. Bonus wears off when the enemy passes a save.
Recall Rope: You can swap this 'mon out for another 'mon at the end of its turn, after it's used a move. This consumes the Recall Rope. Must be held to work.
Fashion Scarf: Looks incredibly snazzy. Did you make that yourself? Other trainers will respect you more if your 'mon are wearing scarves instead of holding items.
Good Luck Crystal: Is consumed when your 'mon would be reduced to 0 HP from its maximum by a single attack, and keeps your 'mon's HP at 1 instead. Must be held to work.
Focus Blinders: Your 'mon can't use its special moves, but gets +1 Speed for each move it loses access to this way. Must be held to work.
Limiter Weights: While your 'mon is wearing the weights, reduce its Level and each of its stats by 1. Lose access to one of its moves. Only works on level 2 or higher 'mon. Great for when you want a fair fight against a weaker opponent. Must be held to work.
Intimidate Bell: The 'mon's next Physical attack hits. Works once per battle.
Distraction Confetti: The next save an enemy makes fails. Works once per battle.
Adrenaline Shot: When this 'mon would be knocked out, it gets one free attack before fainting. The shot is consumed after this takes effect.
Numbing Salve: Decrease damage from status effects by 1 (minimum: 1). Consumed at the end of the battle.
Restraint Band: May decrease the next Power Die that rolls a 4 or above to a 3, decreasing the power of the move but also returning the die to your 'mon's PD pool. Only works once per battle.
Umbrella Cloak: This 'mon has advantage on saves against weather. Must be held to work.
Keening Gem: Negate all 'mon's abilities while this 'mon is in play. Must be held to work.
 
The Atlantis Corporation has created a strange and unnerving tool to assist their resource-extraction operations in the Cataclys region. Fist-sized polyhedra called "Legablocks™" render a 'mon into a form of pure energy and store it as a digital representation inside the block. The more faces the polyhedron has, the more powerful a legamon can be stored within, reduced from a powerful creature to a unique identifier code.

It seems that the storage process occurs no matter whether the 'mon wishes it or not, and it changes their very being into something that cannot exist without the devices. When they're imprisoned within their legablock, they are connected to it through a link called the "block chain", which gives the Atlantis Corporation total control over the 'mon stored along it. Severing a 'mon from the block chain has so far proved impossible, and attached 'mon frequently express their distress whenever their corporate trainer won't hurt them for doing so.

It goes without saying that the use of Legablocks™ is reprehensible, uncannily reminescent of the worst excesses of the ancient invaders, and any self-respecting trainer from Cataclys would never hurt their legamon by using them. Instead, Cataclys trainers make close friends with their 'mon, building bonds of mutual respect and trust, bringing only the 'mon they need with them for an adventure and trusting the others to meet them when they return. Large legamon like Palangrove or Leviabyss often act as mounts where entire rosters of legamon can travel with their trainer, and 'mon like Beaglisk and Retrievyrn are trained to shepherd all kinds of legamon so they don't run off when their trainer needs them most.

Move Library
While some moves can only be used by specific legamon, many can be taught to any of the proper type. The following are 108 (6 for each of the 18 types) some of the more well-known moves that trainers teach their mon in the Cataclys region.
 
A ‘mon can only know a number of moves equal to its level, but you can always train it out of its old bad habits and into new ones that help your team composition or let you surpass the latest obstacle.
Any 'mon can learn Normal-type moves.
 
Physical moves involve a 'mon rolling a d20+Attack, and the attack hits and takes effect if it ties or beats the target's Armor Class (10+Armor).
 
Status moves involve the targeted 'mon rolling a d20+Save vs. the attacker's Save Target. Bonuses to Save Target only affects the save against the move itself, not the saves to shake off the status effect. If a 'mon is suffering from multiple copies of the same status effect, each deals separate damage and is saved separately.
 
Maneuvers empower the user. Stats gained or lost from moves don’t last beyond the battle. Health lost and Power Dice spent do - but Health gained or Power Dice restored don't. Wounds must be bandaged outside of combat, and Power Dice only return on a proper rest.
 
Movement moves move the user (which isn't confusingly phrased at all). This is partly diegetic, and of course can be invoked out of combat, but typically provides some sort of protection from moves while limiting the moves that the user can use in return.
 
Utility moves are primarily useful out of combat, allowing passage through otherwise-hostile terrain. They can be used for combat as well, but are slightly weaker than an equivalent move of the same class.

Weather moves change the battlefield conditions. Lasts until either weather effect removed or end of battle. Using a weather move out of combat still works, and it lasts ten minutes by default. All weather moves expend a Power Die, regardless of the roll - changing the weather is incredibly exhausting!

Even if a Physical move misses or a Status Move is saved against, still roll the Power Die to see if it returns or not.
 
There are several status effects that are not associated with a specific type. Blindness cuts an affected 'mon's Attack and Save to 0. They get to save each round, end condition on success. A Sleeping 'mon cannot use any moves, and gets to save each round to wake up (end condition on a success). They also wake up if they are switched out of the battle. An Infested 'mon takes level damage at the start of their turn plus 1 for each time they have been infested this battle, then saves to end condition.
 
Normal. Status: Taunt. Taunted 'mon can only use its basic Physical moves, not status or special moves. Save each round, end condition on success.

The following are the baselines I'm balancing around. Many are more effective than this, due to the associated type, the power level of the status effect, or because powerful moves are fun. Nothing has been playtested, it's all theory over here.

LEGAMON: Cataclys Regional Legadex

The Cataclys Regional Legadex

The Cataclys region is one of immense natural beauty and intricately layered histories. From the unsummited peak of Mt. Colossus to the uncharted depths of Abyss Canyon, from the glittering blue Iridesce Forests to the rust-red Hema Flats, legamon of all shapes and sizes roam freely through a tumultuous landscape. The peoples of Cataclys live in harmony with legamon, their ways of life shifting with the seasons, passing down the tales of the ruins that dot the landscape in rich oral tradition. These ruins are gigantic and clearly artificial – built long ago by peoples from across the ocean who dared to conquer and enslave legamon instead of treating them with the respect that all living things deserve. Their ruins stand as a testament to the folly of such an endeavor.
 
See the Expanded Regional Legadex for 40 newly-catalogued legamon in the Cataclys region!
 
#001: Elephruit, the Fruit Trunk Legamon (Grass). Level 1. Evolves into Mastoak.

#002: Mastoak, the Bark Armor Legamon (Grass). Level 2. Evolves into Palangrove. 
Mastoak’s trunk oozes delicious sap that it uses to make every kind of plant palatable to its vast appetite. It needs to eat vast amounts of food each day to fuel its rapid growth.

More Rules
 
Leveling Up: If a 'mon doesn't have higher-level evolutions, they still can level up and learn moves and get stronger. When you hit a milestone that would let them level up, add 1 to their Hit Dice, add 1 to their Power Dice, then distribute 5 more points as you see fit between their stats. Level 3 is still the level cap.
 
Any 'mon can level up without evolving. If you don't want it to change types or abilities, or you just like how it looks when it's small and cute, you can feed it an Everyoung Blossom to stunt its growth. They also might learn different moves this way!
 
Legamon Training: You can also use a level up (especially once your ‘mon has hit max level) to instead redistribute up to level points between its abilities, and if it’s double-typed, you may swap the types of its basic Physical and Status moves. Can’t go below level Hit Dice or Power Dice.
 
Moves: A ‘mon can only know a number of moves equal to its level, but you can always train it out of its old bad habits and into new ones that help your team composition or let you surpass the latest obstacle.
 
Stats gained or lost from moves don’t last beyond the battle. Health lost and PD spent do.
 
Even if a Physical move misses or a Status Move is saved against, still roll the Power Die to see if it returns or not.
