-======= The Official Pokerole FAQ =======
-Officially tended to by your lovely team of Storytellers, Mods, and Devs. Artistically tended to by individuals not as talented as Glee.
-  * PLEASE SEARCH THROUGH THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION IN THE DISCORD.
-  * IF YOU WANT TO SUGGEST A QUESTION AND ANSWER, LEAVE A COMMENT OR EDIT SUGGESTION CONTAINING BOTH AND THEY’LL BE ADDED.
-====== Mechanical Questions ======
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>**How many successes are required to pass an Accuracy check?**
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>> <HTML><p></HTML>One success is the minimum required amount, after all factors have been accounted for that might affect success count. This goes up if you have done multiple actions, as clarified on pg. 49.<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>**Is the amount of successes necessary for Evasion and Clashing affected by previous actions? Does Evading or Clashing add to my action count?**
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>When you Evade or Clash, you only need to match your opponent’s successes to be successful. And yes, Evading or Clashing do add 1 each to your action count.<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>**Are there any moves you can’t Evade or Clash?**
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>Moves that use a Social Attribute (Cool, Cute, Tough, Smart, Beauty) for Accuracy can’t be evaded or clashed. Support Moves, Moves that ignore Defenses, and Moves that have a Set Damage cannot be clashed, as well.<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>**Are the victories required for Training/Evolution cumulative?**
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>Yes. If going from one rank at 3 successes to another rank at 12 successes, that requires 9 more successes and not 12 more. This is the same with Evolutions.<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>**How many targets can I affect with my move that targets “All Allies/Foes in Range”?**
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>The amount of allies/foes you can target is dependent on your rank. Check its description on pg. 30 for more specifics.<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>

-====== Clarification Questions ======
-  * **When the book says that Multiple Actions are optional, does that mean I can forgo them in my game?**
-    * Multiple Actions have an Optional tag next to them because it is optional whether or not you want to use them on your turn. Multiple Actions are built into the system and affect how the system is balanced, and so should be included in your play.
-  * **Why is Assurance/X move different from how it is in the games?**
-    * Different moves have been given different effects to match the feel wanted for Pokerole. This is not the case for everything, but 99% of the time the change is intentional.
-====== General GMing Questions ======
-  * **How do I balance fights against player Trainers?**
-    * Generally, fights of equal rank and number will make a balanced fight. If your Trainers have three Pokemon at rank Amateur, an enemy trainer with three Amateur Pokemon in the fray will be a fair fight.
-  * **How should I calculate the amount of money Trainers should receive?**
-    * The Pokedollar (Pokebuck, Poke, etc.) is based off of the yen. Therefore, the easiest conversion method is taking two decimal places off of the Pokedollar amount, and that will be your dollar amount (A Potion costing 400 Pokedollars would be about 4 dollars). Think about how much a trainer of that age could receive from an individual based on this.
-====== Development Questions ======
-  * **When will an updated PMD module/Contest Cards/etc be released?**
-    * Due to a hard drive failure in the past, a lot of previous information was either delayed or had to be redone. Development is still underway on these things, but they will take some time.
-  * **Where can I get the resources to start playing?**
-    * You can find them at https:%%//%%www.pokeroleproject.com/resources. Not all the resources are used for the most current version of the game, however, so be mindful.
-====== Discord-specific Questions ======
-  * **Which resource channel can I post my fakemon in?**
-    * Fakemon are not allowed to be posted in any of the resource channels. They are allowed to be posted in #comfey-general, however, as these do not have an impact on the game itself. Regional variants of existing Pokemon are allowed to be posted in the #pokemon-variants channel.
-  * **How do I invite the Pokerole bot to my server?**
-    * Check the pinned [[https://discord.com/channels/245675629515767809/828307843933274112/830228026876755998|message]] in the [[https://discord.com/channels/245675629515767809/828307843933274112|bot-channel]].
-  * **Where can I find separate PDFs of all of the different book sections?**
-    * Check the pinned messages in the #announcements channel.
-  * **Why am I not finding any games to join? I’ve posted over and over in the #looking-for-game channel.**
-    * The system is still fairly obscure compared to the other Pokemon systems. What we currently lack in playerbase, we make up for in quality! Try learning to be a Storyteller, and you’ll find a rewarding system with players eager to engage with your world.
-  * **Why was my discussion removed from one of the resource channels?**
-    * We try to keep the resource channels clean from discussion. This way, it’s easier to find purely resources and not have to wade through people talking. Please use the #homebrew-discussion for discussion, and consider @’ing the person in regards to their specific message.
-  * **How do I get the Storyteller/Looking For Game/Content Creator role?**
-    * Read the Server Rules channel very carefully…
-  * **Where can I find a tutorial on how combat works?**
-    * Check the pinned messages in the #pokerole channel.
