Alice's Starter Abilities

Tier: D

Cool Down: 1
Cost: 10s
Description:

A tricky little maneuver in which Alice dashes up to 3m in any direction at her top speed, then performs an attack with her weapon aimed at any target within a 1m radius of the point she stops. This movement is dizzyingly quick, and often performed after having stood completely still, allowing Alice to catch her targets off guard or even step out of the way of danger before performing her own counterattack.

Tier: D
Class: Assassin
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Requirements/Drawbacks: Requires a large weapon capable of slashing and the ability to swing it freely around the user for this ability to be used.
Scaling: Duration (+1 post per 10s)
Sustain: -
Cool Down: 1
Cost: 10s
Description:

With this, the user grips their scissors firmly in their hands and braces the weapon as they swing, adding more power and range to their attacks. While attacking in this manner, the user's attacks with the scissors deal an additional count of D-Tier damage and target a 1m long 90° cone in front of the user. This ability has a base duration of 1 post.

Tier: D
Class: Assassin
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Requirements/Drawbacks: This ability requires the user to possess a large weapon capable of piercing in order to be used.
Scaling: Damage (+1 Tier per 10s)
Sustain: -
Cool Down: 1
Cost: 10s
Description:

With this ability, the user grips their weapon in a position that gives them the greatest reach with it as well as the sturdiest hold before thrusting it outwards in a piercing motion at their target. This attack does D-Tier damage and is capable of piercing up to D-Tier defenses thanks to the design of the weapon as well as the power backing this attack

Tier: D
Class: Assassin
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Requirements/Drawbacks: This ability requires the user to possess the "Patchwork Dream" trait.
Scaling: Defense (+1 Tier per 10m)
Sustain: -
Cool Down: 1
Cost: 10m
Description:

The user extends the magical threads from within their body, which begin moving around them in a shimmering dance. These threads don't extend far from the user, remaining within a foot of their being, though they are capable of absorbing the force of attacks aimed at the user up to D-Tier. This protection lasts for as long as it is sustained, for 1 post if not sustained, though dissipates as soon as it absorbs its maximum damage.

Tier: C
Class: Assassin
Type: Offensive
Range: Medium
Requirements/Drawbacks: A giant pair of scissors, as well as the ability to open these scissors freely, is required to use this ability effectively.
Scaling: Hits (+2 hits per 10s)
Sustain: -
Cool Down: 2
Cost: 20s
Description:

With this maneuver, the user opens up their scissors and extends them outwards at a target within 5m of herself, due to the size of her scissors combined with the reach of her arms. She closes her scissors twice in quick succession, essentially "snipping" her foes. This attack deals 2 counts of D-tier damage per "snip" due to the nature of the scissors and this attack, totaling at 2 C-Tiers of damage unless additional "snips" are performed.

Skip-slash: Double category types don't work that well for D-tier abilities, you would lack the leverage in the abilities creation to split up the functions in order to have your movement dash, and be able to attack at the same time. Furthermore, is this movement with your legs? If that is the shouldn't you specify in restrictions that "Both legs must be free of any restraints, bounds, or major injuries"? I wouldn't be able to approve this ability if you are asking for damage with this movement. At this level of D-tier, you could either have the movement or have the attack.

poke x pierce: Defense piercing is an ability aspect. It would be ok if its was a c-tier ability, you can even make the scale "can pierce through defense abilities equal to the damage of this ability as long as it's equal to, or more. " Right now, it's not ok. It would be treated as a double category type and the reasoning like above are the same.
--------
cleave x cut: I don't understand what I'm reading here? Are you swinging it so hard that you are creating a cone? What relationship does the duration have with the sustain? Are you paying all of your stamina upfront so that you won't have to sustain it so it enters cool down immediately after the duration is over?

"While attacking in this manner, the user's attacks with the scissors deal an additional count of D-Tier damage and target a 1m long 90° cone in front of the user. "

This sentence confuses me the most, can you make it more clear? By saying attacks, does it's mean that you can attack a multitude of time in a post without limit as long as the duration is up? How many attacks can you perform with this ability?

dance- defend: there is a confliction, patchwork dream verbiage dictates that it's a doll-like body woven by magical string. From the wording and the way that they manipulate themselves around you, it's almost as if the ability is better suited as body manipulation with the manipulation of the threads that compose your body being able to come alive and spin around you in such a manner. At the time, the ability doesn't follow the motif of an assassin-based ability. it could have been categorized as an assassin/body manipulation hybrid ability (i have a few of those), or body manipulation. But as an assassin along with the threads being manipulated in such a way and acting in that manner, I would not be able to approve this at this time.

server snip: Just because it's a pair of scissors, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are allotted to double damage by snipping at a target. both of those blades are treated as a singular weapon. You cannot factor in the nature of the scissors in order to bypass the hit scaling (not saying that you are or implying), it would be a single instance of c-tier ability damage with the hit scaling allowing you to do an extra snip at a target per 10 stamina.
