SHARE YOUR SKILLS/BATTLE ABILITIES AND BATTLE FORMULAS.

Well, hey. If this is supposed to be for real, might as well cuntpaste some stuff in that I've posted elsewhere.

The skillsets in Iniquity and Vindication are designed to make you want to not use the same ability multiple times in a row, usually. I do this using cooldowns, short status effects that make other moves work better, and longer status effects that make the ability less useful once the status is already applied. All status effects and other effects are 100% hitrate.

Here are all the skills of two of the characters. I am in the process of working on two others. I've kind of categorized them a bit.

I swear, I saw that list of LockeZ's somewhere else. Or a list that looks very close to it. Was it on the old thread that had a similar title that was locked?

*Edit: Flickering Fire looks especially familiar, somehow.

Well, hey. If this is supposed to be for real, might as well cuntpaste some stuff in that I've posted elsewhere.

o.O

That...is a disturbing typo.

Anyway, Lockez, will read and comment on your mountain of skills later.

I was trying to make a skill that if you have berserk on, you have a 25% chance of the positive effect staying on, while not being able to control your character, goes off.

Manicscout (Odd name, oh well)
What it would do, is that it'd give a character a 25% chance to recovering from Berserk, while still keeping the speed and power boost that my Berserk gave, and it would allow for the Manicscout's ability to kick in.

Savage Strike: +75 added on to the Speed and power boost Berserk awards, for one big attack and has a 10% chance to cause Berserk to 1 enemy.

Manicscout (Odd name, oh well)
What it would do, is that it'd give a character a 25% chance to recovering from Berserk, while still keeping the speed and power boost that my Berserk gave, and it would allow for the Manicscout's ability to kick in.

I don't know about the 25% bit, but I think I know how that kind of skill could be emulated in VX. I would code it as a recovery spell that removes the "Berserk" condition from an ally, and applies a different condition that has the same stat buffs that Bersker has, but without the uncontrollably that "Berserk" is known for.

However, with what I have in mind, the skill doesn't necessarily "check" to see if the "Berserk" condition has been applied.
