AJNR 156 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Heyo, I was too impatient to finish the Skill Icons and then post this - that stuff actually requires work. So here's something I would like to throw out for critique - this isn't really a concept topic - since I have these skills written down and adjusted every now and then. So here goes nothing. The Foundation My Project creates Damage in a more unique way, but then again we all strive for this. So before posting up the Skills I have, I would to show how those skills actually work: Damage Formula Actors: Enemies: The soft max level in the game is Level 50, and the soft cap for enemy stats is 150 (for Enemies) without modifications. The highest base stat among all normal Actors [at Level 50] is 139, and even higher when modified. (Special Actors such as Summons or Fusions may surpass 139, but they cannot be accessed outside of battle). Regardless, the highest Power Multiplier allowed for Actors with 100% Power is 3.5. Hopefully I did not scare you off by using math and that you're continually reading this trivial post. Now to the actual topic: Actor 1's (Let's call her Red) Skills Main Skills Main Skills can be upgraded When you see the [ x / y / z ] bracket, it shows the upgradable effect of [ Level 1 / Level 2 / Level 3 ] Path of the Leader Leader Mantra - Increases Party's Offenses (ATK and MAT) by [ 50 / 75 / 100 ]% for [ 3 / 4 / 5 ] turns Reprisal - Increases Party's [Final] Damage by [ 20 / 40 / 60 ]% for each Ally that is Withdrawn (KO State) Path of the Fighter Titanic Punch - Delayed Action; Being hit beforehand will deal [ 200 / 400 / 400 ]% Weapon Damage; Else [ 100 / 150 / 200 ]% Weapon Damage is dealt; Deals x2 Damage if Red was hit with a critical Infinite Uppercut - Deals [ 150 / 250 / 350 ]% Weapon Damage; Deals x1.5 Damage if the Enemy is Flying, else they're Evicted from battle for 1 turn Path of the Sage Shooting Star - Delayed Action; Jumps off battle next turn; Deals [ 200 / 300 / 400 ]% Physical Damage and [ 100 / 200 / 300 ]% Weight Damage the turn after Endeavor - Absorbs all Damage at a [ 20 / 35 / 50 ] reduced rate.

Wren 179 Posted March 12, 2014 Why am I thinking reservoir dogs after the character code names? This looks like a well thought out system. I read over it and will actually study it a bit more when I have some time to actually take in the math and more importantly what you are doing with it.

+ Sughayyer 163 Posted March 12, 2014 The skills seem vell diversified enough. I assume you have tested the formula well enough too... but just to clarify: power on the formula stands for the weapon/spell/armor power? Or is it a different number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ Sughayyer 163 Posted March 12, 2014 Samurai traditionally wielded swords, but common weapons also included: kusari-gama (a VERY dishonest weapon), jitte (a small two-forked dagger used with a fan in the other hand. This weapon was used to break katana and disarm the opponent) and finally naginata, a spear adapted from a broom(!) and a kitchen knife(!!!), mostly used by women to protect their homes, but later on adapted for military uses. So it's perfectly ok for a samurai to wield a spear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJNR 156 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Samurai traditionally wielded swords, but common weapons also included: kusari-gama (a VERY dishonest weapon), jitte (a small two-forked dagger used with a fan in the other hand.

So it's perfectly ok for a samurai to wield a spear. I understand, but the "Path of Samurai" is more of a general aim of those skills, rather than equipment. I would like to say it's more the act of Bushido (Precision) than the equipment of a Samurai itself. Because the Actors keep the same type of weapon throughout the game, they're just able to switch to another (pseudo) weapon, this is explained by adding a component to the weapon: For example, a Fire Weapon that deals 50% Physical and 50% Fire Damage is explained to be a "forever hot tip slotted into the Spear"- the way equipment works in this project is a lot different from traditional RPGs. BUT THANK FOR YOU FOR THE HISTORY LESSON, Asia is my weakest region when it comes to history. why do white's samurai skills involve spears? edit1: purple's level 3 pandoras box percentages equate to 101% edit2: pink's name is steven As said before, they're more of a general aim of the skills. In this case, it's more about Bushido than Swords and Armor. I'll fix that now. Xypher Spoilerpants The skills seem well diversified enough. I assume you have tested the formula well enough too... but just to clarify: power on the formula stands for the weapon/spell/armor power? Or is it a different number? Power is simply Power. It's explicitly told in the description. Equipment may provide a bonus to stats, fluctuating of the Attack / Defense Ratio, which will affect the damage but not the actual Power itself. For example: A Level 5 Actor with 32 Strength (ATK) using a Skill with 100% Power against an Enemy with 20 Toughness (DEF) will create 26 Damage ((5 / 12.5 * 100) * ((20 + 32) / (20 + 20))) / 2 = 26 An Enemy with 24 Strength (ATK) using a Skill with 150% Power against an Actor with 40 Toughness (DEF) will create 10 Damage ((24 / 125 * 150) * ((20 + 24) / (20 + 40))) / 2 = 10 A Level 50 Actor with 434 Strength and 282 Magic using a Fire Weapon Attack (that has 120% Power) against an Enemy with 270 Toughness and 380 Ward will create 262 Damage ((50 / 12.5) * 120) * (((20 + 434) + (20 + 282)) / ((20 + 270) + (20 + 380)))) / 2 = 262 (Forgot to mention that Elemental Weapons concern both Offensive Stats and both Defensive Stats, since they deal 50% Physical and 50% Elemental, Elemental Skills only concern Magic and Ward since they deal 100% Element Damage) As for diversity, the secondary skills offer more unique (but specific) effects (and conditions). There are a total of 15 Secondary Skills for each Actor, this number will be explained later when I finish up the topic post. There are a total of 27 Main Skills (3 Types = 3 Skills = 3 Tiers/Upgrades) but you will only see 9 all at once. There are a total of 6 Passives and 3 Limit Breaks (but Limit Breaks are gained a different way). I'll explain why these numbers are they way they are later. Edit: Ok! Bushido does NOT mean Precision. It's just how I heard in some video about the gaming cultures of Japan and why they differ from ours, and Bushido was mentioned as a point of origin that influenced on Precision - which is why Asian people are always playing those rhythm games. Why am I thinking reservoir dogs after the character code names? This looks like a well thought out system. I read over it and will actually study it a bit more when I have some time to actually take in the math and more importantly what you are doing with it. Thanks! And the names are just a cover up for those Actors, it's not they're actual names. Edited March 12, 2014 by AJNR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Sughayyer 163 Posted March 12, 2014 Indeed, bushido means the way of the warrior. It is more than fighting, it is a way of life, a code of conduct. Samurai were known to follow the bushido, but bushido was not restricted to them. Now, associating bushido with gaming is a bit baffling to me... should be associated with working hard, obeying your parents, boss and teachers, etc. I just made that post because someone posted that it was strange for a samurai to wield a spear, and I wanted to clarify that they in fact used a varying array of weapons. Also, now I was able to understand the formulae better. You are working with lower numbers, then? Also, is there no healing skill that affects the user itself? And Pure Joy appears twice, was it a typo? All in all seems great and diversified so far! Really nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Pure Joy appears twice, was it a typo? All in all seems great and diversified so far! Really nice. Okay, fixed it. I changed (Pink -> Path of the Jubilant ->) Together Breakfast's effect to heal the entire Party instead of All Allies, the 2 turn charge up is harsh enough and I did want to make the game fun. Thanks for that feedback, however (Pink -> Path of the Jubilant ->) Pure Joy still remains as an All Allies (except Self) heal. Thanks! I should be uploading the Secondary Skills soon!

AJNR 156 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Finished off Red's Skills and will do finish the Secondary, Passive and Limit Breaks for each Actor one by one. Now to make this useless topic even more pretentious Actor 34's (White's + Purple's Fusion) Skills Because Actor 34 is a unique character that can only be accessed within battle, she is not upgrade-able. She follows the traditional way of learning skills via level, her level being determined by the average of White and Purple's level. Main Skills "Weapon Shift" - Shifts between Spear & Whip to Bow, and vice versa "Poised Slashes" - (Requires Spear & Whip) First strike deals 150% Weapon Damage and increases Damage dealt to Target by x1.5, the second strike deals 150% Weapon Damage with a high critical chance rate (1 in 2 chance of being critical, overrides system's critical rate calculation) "Serene Flurry" - (Requires Spear & Whip) Deals 100% Weapon Damage twice to a Random Target, repeats 2 more times to another (or same) Random Target "Entrapment" - (Requires Spear & Whip) Binds Enemy with Whip, halving their DEF and MDF, and deals 100% Weapon Damage multiple times (3...8) ignoring 1/2 of Target's Defense "Energy Shot" - (Requires Bow) Deals 200% Magical Damage and has a 5% chance of inflicting Insta-KO "Titan Shot" - (Requires Bow) Deals 200% Physical Damage, Deals x2 Damage to Flying Enemies, Deals x2 Damage to Enemies with more HP than Actor 34's "Void Shot" - (Requires Bow) Shoots an arrow that deals 300% Magical Damage and inflicts Stop on All Enemies the next turn "Rejuvenation" - Restores 1/2 of MHP to Self, Can only be cast 1 time "Cartwheel Retreat" - Deals 120% Physical Damage to an Enemy within 1 Row, then evades any incoming attack for the remainder of the turn, retreats to the Back Row at the end of the turn "Pinpoint" - Guarantees Accuracy on One Enemy, but cannot target any other Enemy for 5 turns or until that Target is defeated Passives "Dual Leads" - Malicious States that affect the mind and body last twice as long "Pure Power" - Cannot use Items and cannot be affected by Items "Four Arms" - Doubles Action Bonus from Guarding (+100% Action Times+ increases to +200%) "Precise" - Increases Damage of Critical Hits (Critical Hit Base increases from x2 to x3) "Ricochet" - Malicious States may reflect back to the Attacker (25% Chance) "Parry" - Guarding becomes a Parry that receives no damage and counter-attacks with a Stagger infliction The only reason I did this is because the Fusions have much more interesting concepts than the regular characters, and since they're suppose to be pretty powerful - there's no restriction to the damage they're capable of doing (For example, there's a Skill that can hit with 800% Power by itself if certain conditions are met). Edit: Removed Flavor Text from everything. Fixed a couple of skills, one of White's and one of Pink's Edited March 19, 2014 by AJNR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJNR 156 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) - Removed a bunch of junk - Changed all Skills' Power values to be among an interval of 25 (10, or 15) for easier accessibility - Added rest of White's stuff Edit: - Added some of Purple's stuff @Trvc Thanks! I'll upload the scripts I have later today, I think I need sleep right now Edited March 19, 2014 by AJNR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trvc 19 Posted March 19, 2014 I personally like this setup. (the formula is similar to the one I use) so that matches with my taste. But as for the skill set ups it looks like there is enough choice for the player to feel like there is some choice in progression but not so much that the player is ever burdened or overwhelmed... Good balance of customization and simplicity in my opinion! PS: I would be curious what combination of scripts you are using to implement all of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS: I would be curious what combination of scripts you are using to implement all of that. When it comes to choice, everyone might be flipping their tables that there are 15 secondary skills (for each character), but it's not possible for the Player to gain all of the Skills (Main, Secondary, and Passives) on first playthrough - since they can only unlock 1 skill per level (the maximum level being 50). The aimed level for game completion is 35. It's planned to be able to start a New Game+ with the Level 35 Characters that will hit Level 50 in the middle-end of the second playthrough. I'm surprised you weren't overwhelmed by the quantity of stuff I have in the topic. Here are the scripts, many were taken out because of compatibility issues, but most of them are planned to come back. The Scripts highlighted in yellow have direct influence on the game's battle system - Finished Purple's Stuff - Added Pink's Stuff - Finished Main Characters' Stuff - Stuff Stuff Stuff Edit: - Added Rose's Stuff Edited March 19, 2014 by AJNR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJNR 156 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I'm intetested in your passive skills, how can you realize them? Could you please tell me what related scripts you are using?(the list above is too long>.<) The passive skill script don't read anything in the notes section>.<... The bulk of the Passives don't really work right now because I haven't gotten around to scripting them in, I'm trying to get the general graphics done for the game, then I'll focus on the battle mechanics. It usually takes tinkering with the Game_Battler or Game_BattlerBase to get those effects (I believe Hime has a script that makes this process easier). It's been a long time since this post, so I edited and removed a whole bunch of content in the topic post - because the whole database of skills was redone. The Scripts in Yellow are the ones involved with these skills, so you don't need to look at the whole script. I don't have the Program on me right now, but a bunch of scripts were removed and added since last time. If you need help with passives, make a Help Topic and we'll help you.
