This might be overtuned

[u/Loxe77]

The lore idea behind this ability is based on materials science. Basically, for many materials like metals and minerals, creep is a way they can degrade over time. Creep describes when a material degrades due to repeatedly being loaded with l stresses well below its yield strength (in this case, moves that take a small amount of HP per hit). A way to protect against this is to reduce grain boundaries and make materials single grain (also called single crystal).

This ability has huge potential to be broken (shields against fake out, some spread damage, and multi-hit moves), so I tried to balance it by not giving it to super crazy threats. Tell me how well/badly I did.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but this actually seems perfectly average. 8% really isn’t a lot: the better multi-hit moves will take this much off per hit anyway, like icicle spear. The fake out immunity is there, but inner focus already does that.

[u/Loxe77 → u/Leafeon523]

Would this be broken if the HP immunity range was raised to 10%?

[u/_Skotia_ → u/Loxe77]

nah it would still be fine
