Working on a TSE RPG...

[Sokar468]

Here are some more Mechanics, covering dodging.[/color]

Dodging = Dodging skills are based on a percentage. Attacking from the front yields the highest chance of dogding, where as attacking from behind yields the least chance.

- The base dodging rate for frontal attacks is 30%
- For side attacks, base dodging rate is 15%
- For backstabs, the base dodging rate is 0%.

For each level of Agility, the dodging percentage increases. They are as follows:

- For each point of Agility above 1, the dodging rate for frontal attacks is increased by 5%, for a maximum of +50% (80% total dodging rate at level 10 Agility).

- For each point of Agility above 1, the dodging rate for side attacks is increased by 4%, for a maximum of +40% (55% total dodging rate at level 10 Agility).

- For each point of Agility above 1, the dodging rate for back attacks is increased by 2%, for a maximum of +20% (20% total dodging rate at level 10 Agility).

Other factors can affect dodging rates. Kite Shields and Tower Shields can increase the block/dodge rate when equipped. Certain spells can increase or decrease dodging rates.

Characters wading in water will have their dodging rate reduced by half (a severe disadvantage of fighting in water). Valkyries do not suffer from this penalty.

I changed it to a Prism Headband--sounds a little less fruity.

Counter-attacking Rules (most of which you should know from TO:KoL)[/b]

==Counterattacking==

- When a character attacks a target in front, the target counterattacks with full strength. Even if the attacker misses, the target still counterattacks.

- If the attacker strikes on either side of the target, the target still counterattacks but dealing half-damage.

- Targets do not counterattack when attacked from behind. The exception to this is the Mage and characters with the Mirror accessory.

- Note that counter-attackers must also check for a dodging rate when striking back.

- Targets do not counterattack against magic spells unless the caster is adjacent to the target.

- If a character attacks an ally (such as to wake him up from Sleep, etc.), then the ally will NOT counterattack unless the ally specifically wants him to.

I plan to work on that. No elevation--no need to make this too complicated.

Terrain will consist of two types only: Land and Water.

The board will be like 10x10 or something, I don't know yet. It will take a lot of play-testing to determine the best size.

I figure I'll make four maps. One team gets to choose the map at the expense of letting the enemy team go first.

Ok, other than a few rules, my RPG is 70% done. Therefore please feel free to begin forming teams and picking classes. Either post here or in the Official TSE thread. 3 members per team. Thanks!!

Note: I'm the "DM" of this RPG. ;D

Another Note: You do not pick your equipment yet.

All other teams shall fail since Clan Face-ROCKER has the 1337bot!

I don't know. I want to test-play the existing classes to balance things out first. Then maybe I might...

Also, notice how I actually made the Soldier useful...

Umm, dude, you have to follow the class system. The moogle can be your "chess piece", but you must select an actual class.
