# Nova's Utility Belt v. 1.0
#===============================================================================
=begin
What does this do?
- Changes the maximum battle members.
- Continues playing map BGM during battle unless specified by a switch.
- Disables the shutdown menu on the Main Menu if specified.
- Turns on a switch during playtesting only.
- Allows Actors to keep their experience points upon changing classes.
- Adjust the limits of how many items you can carry.
- Modify critical damage formula.
- Add/remove states from the target target upon inflicting a critical.
- Can change the settings for dashing.
- Can change the actor's descriptions using a script call.
===============================================================================
INSTRUCTIONS:
Plug in below Materials, but above Main. Remember to save. For best
results, place this script BELOW all other custom scripts.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
COMPATIBILITY:
This was made to simply bring forth default systems in Ace. It makes very few
changes to the systems themselves. As such, it SHOULD be compatable with most
scripts you can find.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
ACTOR DESCRIPTIONS
If you want to change the description of your actors throughout the game,
place this script call in an event:
$game_actors[x]description = "Your description here."
where x is the index of whatever actor you want to add in the description.
