Hey Grey Hatred, just wanted to let you know that I've been enjoying the updates so far and also wanted to give you a couple of suggestions regarding Roles because that's the number 1 feature that really like from Pathways.
First, maybe you can make some of the Roles follow/use certain battle gimmicks instead of just increasing damage of certain types. For example, like how Adventurer's gimmicks are weathers and terrains, Gambler's are RNG and Money and, how the new Scientist's gimmick is centered around Gravity.
Maybe you can make the Saint's gimmicks to damage mitigation, healing and buffs. As of the current update, I felt the that some of the Moves and Abilities are not as useful I thought it would be. I rarely, if at all, use Numinous Hymn outside of Doubles and most of the battles in the game are solo barring the D Rank quest. The Ability Seraphic Heal also seems underwhelming. While healing status problems is always useful, the healing to health is so miniscule that enemies can still 2HKO me even if I'm using a wall Pokemon depending on the type match up. Divine Mandate and Roost, I have no problems with, but for thematic purpose of my suggestion, maybe also change it?
My suggestions for the Saint Role is that to change the learnable Level 3 (Master) Move Numinous Heal to something that only heals and also raises a defensive stat by one stage, switch Dazzling Gleam to a custom Fairy type variation of Aurora Veil that doesn't require weather condition, and switch Roost to a custom Flying type offensive move that raises the Pokemon best stat by one stage or just a status move that raises certain stats.
Sorry for the long paragraph, but the next ones are short since I haven't tried them yet in the current update so I'll just suggest based on their themes.
Knights and Dark Knights: Dark Knights I have nothing to say except maybe make it more offensive based? To contrast, maybe make Knight's more defensive or make their offense based on defenses? The Iron Barb Ability you just added is a perfect example.
Make Necromancer more based on how many Pokemons had fainted and/or how many Pokemons are still alive. Maybe a Special Attack version of Moxie?
Lastly, this is not exactly a suggestion but a bit more of a request: Please make costumes that our character can wear based on our chosen Roles. It just makes me weirdly giddy when I see characters wear their "canonical" clothes/costumes.
Sorry for the long post and sorry if there are any mistakes in my writing. English is not my first language. Again, these are are just suggestions so feel free to ignore this if you think disturbs the game balance or just plain not good. Thank you!
Edit:Forgot to add "please" in my request
