I'd vote yes if:

a) the line about the normal attack being bug-type is removed and a <Bug> symbol is placed next to the attack stat, as is our practice, as far as I know.

b) a line is added stating that poison markers can't be placed on soulborgs, constructs, undead, or steel-type pokemon.

c) the <Poison> symbol is removed from Cross Poison

[White Knight]

A) Bug-type normal attack.
Poison symbol in the first line of text for Cross Poison.
A note in the Rulebook stating that Steel-types are not affected by Special Abilities that have a Poison symbol.

D) Bug-type normal attack.
Add a line in Cross Poison:
Poison Status Markers cannot be placed on Soulborgs, Constructs, Undead, or Pokemon that are not effected by Poison-type attacks.

And as for Option A not working because W/R/I only applies to attacks, I'd have to ask why? We're making the rulebook--we can make W/R/I apply to special abilities as well. I honestly don't know why it would be a problem to just put the Symbol. However...


Now for the good news
Everyone likes Parasect's normal attack to be Bug-type.

And so far the vote is:
5 who could accept Option A (2 vehemently opposed)
5 who could accept Option D (including Chardar, who basically made Option D Bug-type).

If we make Parasect's normal attack Bug-type, add Option D, and go back to the previous version of Parasect I think most people will be OK and no one will be vehemently opposed.

Parasect v1.6b

#047
Pokemon
Uncommon Hero
Mushroom
Docile
Medium 4

4 Health
5 Move
1 Range
3 Attack (Bug type)
5 Defense

CROSS POISON
If this Parasect inflicts at least one wound with its normal attack, you may roll the 20-sided die. On a roll of 11 or higher, place a Poison Status Marker on the defending figure.
After a figure with a Poison Status Marker takes a turn it must roll the 20-sided die. On a roll of 1-10, nothing happens. On a roll of 11-18, that figure takes one wound. On a roll of 19 or higher, remove the Poison Status Marker. Poison Status Markers may not be placed on Soulborgs, Undead, Constructs, or Pokemon not affected by Poison-type attacks.

MEGA DRAIN SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4.
If this Parasect causes one or two wounds with Mega Drain Special Attack, you may remove 1 wound marker from this card. If this Parasect causes three or more wounds with Mega Drain Special Attack, you may remove 2 wound markers from this card.

I like the look of that WK. There's no reason that the rulebook can't state that special abilities of a certain type don't affect pokemon with immunity to that type. If it's OK with DrAwsm, I'd vote yes to that design.

As would I.

[Chardar]

I like it.

[DrAwsm]

I'm fine with it.

With most people in agreement for how poison works, I think we're ready to vote on Parasect.

I vote YES to Parasect at 100 points.

An attack of 4 just isn't that much--I'm sure both Scyther and Charmeleon could take out Parasect before Parasect takes them out with Cross Poison or Mega Drain.

[fiddlerjones]

Yes/100

[Chardar]

YEA at 100.

[minimoose38]

[wulfhunter667]

[NightSwipe]

Yes for 100 Points.
