Me explaining the abilities Rouxls has as the Rules Card has been long overdue, so here it is now! Better late than never, I suppose.

Rouxls has two separate powers at his disposal, the first and simplest of these being his teleportation. He, of course, does this several times in-game, and is capable of transporting both himself and other people (though teleporting other people takes more effort and energy than it does for himself, and teleporting multiple people at one time is the most difficult). Rouxls can teleport himself to anywhere he has physically seen in-person and knows the general location of.

His other ability is far more interesting, though, and is the actual focus of this post. I call it "House Rules".

More info below:

With House Rules, Rouxls is able to use the magic he has as the Rules Card to create his own rules for himself or other people. Hence its name! He's quite literally creating his own house rules for the world and game that is Deltarune.

Rouxls has a certain number of "spell slots" available to him to create House Rules with, and the amount of slots an individual rule takes up varies depending on how difficult it is to enforce. He doesn't need to "recharge" these slots like you would for spell slots in D&D—it's just a limit to the amount of House Rules he can keep active at one time (so it works more like Charm Notches in Hollow Knight). I haven't decided exactly how many spell slots Rouxls has though.

The exact "cost" of a single House Rule can also fluctuate based on the people affected by it. If everyone involved agrees to the rule, then it takes less magic for Rouxls to keep it up. On the other hand, though, if Rouxls tries to create a rule that nobody else wants, then it'll be extremely hard for him to keep it active. He might still be able to force it into existence if he really wants to, but depending on the House Rule's "base cost" and how opposed to it everyone else is, it might take all of Rouxls' spell slots just to uphold that one rule. Similar to when you're playing with house rules in a real card or board game!

Rouxls keeps this aspect of his ability tightly under wraps, though. After all, if his opponents knew they could influence his House Rules and potentially shut down anything he tries to do, then that leaves him basically helpless and unable to do anything beyond just teleporting away. Most people don't even know that Rouxls can create House Rules at all. As of the end of Chapter 2, the only people he's told about the ability are the King of Spades (since that's why he hired Rouxls), Lancer (just from spending a lot of time around Rouxls), and possibly Queen (maybe Rouxls tried to impress her with his powers in the hopes of getting her to hire him). And nobody knows about the "opposing the rule makes it harder for Rouxls to create it" part of it.

In order to create a new House Rule, Rouxls must 1) Activate his magic in some way with the intent of creating a new rule, and 2) Verbally state the rule that is being created out loud. Because of the activation requirement, Rouxls will never create a House Rule by accident just by speaking normally. Deleting any of his existing House Rules can be done silently, on Rouxls' command at any time he pleases.

For example, Rouxls' ability to float is not actually something he can naturally do—he's granted himself that power using his House Rules. It's something he keeps active pretty much permanently, since this rule in particular hardly costs any of his magic.

While in the Cyber World in Chapter 2, Rouxls has one other House Rule active: one that makes him immune to the statue-fication that is supposed to occur from being in a different Dark World. This is why he takes so much longer to turn to stone compared to Lancer (and never does fully turn) in the normal route, and why when it does start to happen, it's instantaneous. Upholding this rule is, of course, extremely hard to do, given that it goes directly against how the Dark World works. That one House Rule takes up practically all of his power, with just enough left to let him keep his floating ability. At the end of his fight, however, he tries to use House Rules yet again, in order to show off his "REALE Power". Of course, all of his spell slots are already full, forcing him to dismiss the statue-immunity rule to make room for the new one (which he did without thinking about the consequences at all dgdgshf). By that point, enough time had already passed that the only thing keeping Rouxls from becoming a statue was his House Rule, so with that gone, he started turning to stone immediately and rapidly. Luckily for him, he was able to at least preserve his head by cancelling the other House Rule (and perhaps also his floating one out of panic, which is why he crashed to the ground soon afterward) and reactivating his immunity one quickly enough, which he kept activated until he was returned to Castle Town.

Generally, when creating House Rules that directly affect a person (be it himself or someone else), he can only impact them physically, not mentally or emotionally. For  example, Rouxls would able to change someone's stats during a battle. But, he can't do something like "New Rule: Swatch now wants to make me Butler Supremeth!". He's got rule-making abilities, not mind control dgshshsf.

Also, as you could probably guess, different House Rules can have similar effects, but notably different costs to maintain them. For example, it is much easier to uphold a rule that claims "I, Rouxls Kaard, now have 5 additional points of defence", compared to a rule that says "Kris now has 5 less points of attack", since Kris has a much greater ability to reject a rule that directly affects them. So Rouxls has to be smart with the House Rules he creates if he wants to be efficient with his spell slots (and he usually is, since he's had these powers all his life and is accustomed to how they work).

So yes! Those are the two abilities Rouxls has. As you may have noticed, that means that he isn't capable of any sort of offensive magic. House Rules makes him an extremely useful support unit—likely one of, if not the best at it among all Darkners. But, that's all he is, and he's pretty much useless in a fight if he doesn't have some sort of ally or weapon that can do damage for him. That's why in Chapter 1, he summons a buffed up K. Round to fight Kris and co. instead of doing it himself. And in Chapter 2, the Thrash Machine is the one actually attacking most of the time. The one exception to this is the box attack Rouxls uses, but those aren't made of magic at all. The sprites are exactly the same as the puzzle boxes he has in the overworld. He's just throwing regular-ass boxes at you because there's nothing else he can do lmao.

I was planning on including my thoughts on what a secret boss-type fight against Rouxls would be like, but this post is already super long so I'm just gonna make that its own separate post. And that one'll go up... Eventually dgsgshs

I think Kaveh is also very loud. So much so that Al-Haytham's headphones can't handle it. So he will have to urgently move to us

Yes yes! poor baby can't keep quiet unless you have to gag him, he gets so shy remembering that he is being brutally fucked at his friend's house. As a reward to Al-Haitham for putting up with him so late into the night, he too can join in on the fun!

It would be fun to see them there, kissing in a messy way while your cock is focused on fucking Kaveh's pussy, while you eat Al-Haitham's cunt in a quick way to make them squirt at the same time ♡.

sounds so perfect right now. want you to ruin me until i’m crying and shaking, until i can’t think about anything anymore except you making me feel this good. just wanna be screaming your name while you’re fucking me in every position possible, using my body however you want cause im all yours <3

Your pussy is going to look so pretty taking my cock, baby. Even when it’s all raw and wet from cumming so many times, never going to be able to stop fucking you. Want to see my girl crying and writhing because I won’t stop fucking her until I’m satisfied.

Can a person not put coffee creamer in their orange juice in peace. Sure, the nuts I could go without, but let me LIVE.

Hey! I hope you're having a great day! I love your posts and they never cease to make me smile.

"The Lightnere Worms mentionede that today art 'Father's Daye' inst their world."

"'Tis not somethinge that we Darkners usually celebratest, but uponst hearing about it, Lancer insisted that we shouldst join in the festivitiese."

"He toldeth me he's going to make 'a super cool new playliste' for his 'favourite Lesser Dad.'"

"And apparentlye Queene will be helpingeth him find songs onst the Internet for it."

"Knowinge both of their tastes in 'music'..."

"I feareth for mine ears."

I want to approach the tired Baizhu. Tell him let me wipe your seat and wipe my face. I am a terrible person, I am ready to be bitten by his snake for this. I think since he is sick, he needs a partner who will allow him to do nothing in bed and allow him to sit on face as much as he wants.

Changsheng can bite my ass if she want, that won't stop me from eating Baizhu for hours until he can't came anymore.

pharmacy work must be exhausting, plus seeing and taking care of a zombie girl. You can see his legs trembling, so you offer him a good seat to relax a bit!

without pants.

his long bed has plenty of space for you to do filthy things, poor hun is sick, take care of him like a good person! he is a bit embarrassed, but not that much! I mean, he doesn't want to crush you, even if he's as light as a feather, let him know you're okay so he's not fidgeting and trying to lift his hips the slightest bit so he doesn't bother you. what a sweet.

don’t worry about that bub, i’m already only thinking of your dick everyday. can’t even focus on work anymore during the day. just need you inside of me all the time, ‘m so addicted to the way you make me feel

Want to see you bouncing on my cock, little angel. See how well you take me, and just how much you’ll cum constantly until you’re a crying, babbling mess.

Pal of mine just discovered the boop.

I am being assaulted. Booped to death. No card reward.

oh my what's this?

no bcs how do you think a foursome with dilf ! miya twins and dilf ! suna would go ;( just twins coming over to sunas and finding suna’s precious daughter on his lap while he’s fingering her :( would they join or, would they just stand there and watch while rubbing they’re big hard cocks trough they’re pants :(

they’d do both 🤤 they’re nasty like that frr. they’d totally watch suna finger his precious daughter until she shakes and cums all over his lap, and the twins groan as they cum with her before “nicely” telling suna that they’ll be having a go at her. because after all, they had her first and her being suna’s daughter don’t mean jack shit to them.

Thursday is pissed. off. Without much warning to Polygonz - unless he can sense or foresee these kinds of things - a portal opens up in the middle of whatever room he is standing in and she comes flying right through it, right at him, and aims to punch him in the face with all she's got, without any forewarning, shouting, "YOU PIECE OF SHIT! LET HIM GO! LET HIM GO! LET HIM GO!!" @parables-for-days

Of course Polygonz doesn't expect this, neither did Austin honestly. The hit sent a ripple of glitching through his whole body, it took him a moment before finally snapping back "Jesus christ." and only that. Of course he'd taken some distance by now. Let him go? Let who go? Oh, did she find out about Austin? How the hell'd she do that?

The polygonized edges of his clothing looked sharp, and what would usually be blood coming out of his nose was instead replaced with a black substance that carried with it strings of green binaries and controls. Huh, who knew this type of viri bled source code. "Oh so you figured it out? Or maybe you simply got told by one of your much smarter friends?"

A snort escapes him, of course he's making fun of her, he probably shouldn't but, he can't help himself. "Why should I? He came to me first, he's the one that begged me to fuse with him."
