Ramond's RPG Adventure v2.0

[Ramond]

Hello people of RPG!

ANNOUNCEMENT

I really want to update RPG badly and continue with the story and everything, but each time I want to I'm having a hard time motivating myself to re-check all stats and crosscheck every little detail in combat for the ultimate correct values for damage and accuracy and bla, it's tons of work. It's kind of ironic how my last "simplification" overhaul actually made everything far more complicated (obviously, thanks to the new skill trees I threw up and the battlegrids, positions being relevant and whatnot). Therefore, for the sake of the game itself, I'm planning to cut down most of the stuff that isn't really necessary to continue this in a halfway standard RPG fashion.

SO, this is where you guys come in. I'd like you guys to voice your opinion on what we can cull and what we should keep. One thing I definitely want to overhaul is the skill system. I can live with the battlegrid if it's kept simple enough, though animating it could be annoying without tool assistance. I'd also like to keep the current automatic status pages intact if possible.

Topics to discuss:

• Battle System
  • Battlegrid and Movement (keep/cull)
    
  • Hits, Dodge and Crits
    
  • Blocking (keep/cull/change)
    
  • Timeline (reintroduce?)
    
• Skill System (definitely want to simplify)
  • Passive Class Skills (keep/cull)
    
  • Aura System (global or local effect)
    
  • Skill Damage (fixed or proportional to certain stats)
    
  • Skill Levels (keep/cull)
    
  • Skill Trees (concerning skill prerequisites for future skills)
    
  
  

Nave: What's the current status of your LFE RPG Editor, can it be adjusted to fit in with any new changes made? The only important thing for me is animating the battlegrid anyhow, there is no need for automatic damage calculations or numbers (though it'd be rad if the user could just specify the amount of damage dealt in each attack somewhere, that it gets incorporated into the GIF).
