Looking at some elaborate damage formulas for other peoples' games, and I'm p. much just using the ol' "atk minus def" (´・ω・`)

If it works, it works.
This.
I'm trying to keep things simple in my project so I can actually finish it. So I too am currently using the big standard formula.
Maybe someday down the road i'll start experimenting with the more fancy ones!

(5+slv)*sqrt(a.str/b.vit*(a.atk*x*skill_power)*a.lv/16) - b.def
The true gentleman's formula.

Has the d20 system ever been implemented into an rpg maker game?
That I know of, no. But there is a script that implements it. It's literally called the Dungeons and Dragons system and you can find it on RMW. Last time I checked, it was incomplete, but the writer was concerned about copyright and I suggested that he base his system on Pathfinder since that's open source.

Someone should definitely make one then! I might even take a whack at it.
I think I read that you do too, piano, but I grew up with D&D. Though it's been awhile
Going off topic, sorry!

I remember a VX script that dealt with d20 (up to 3.5 ed). I don't remember the author, though.
Final Damage = (((Normal Damage
x 1.5) (only if ethereal)
x (1 + Enhanced Damage on Weapon / 100) + Bonuses to Minimum/Maximum Damage)
x (1 + Strength or Dexterity / 100 + Off-Weapon Enhanced Damage / 100 + Skill Damage Bonus % / 100) + Elemental Damage)
x (1 - Skill Damage Penalty / 100)
x 2 (only if a critical or deadly strike is scored)

The biggest benefit of the D20 system is the tactile goodness of rolling a big goofy die and hoping for a huge number. Tying up your actions with that much RNG is typically not a whole lot of fun in a virtual system :P
Somebody please do this :D
I suddenly just got really nostalgic for Pokemon Gold and how you could only find certain items or shopkeepers on like, Wednesday nights. I remember sneaking away with my game boy at the right time to find secret stuff :P

Wasn't a problem for Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights.

Yep! That's the whole point, people are spoiled these days :P
the vast rng of d20 works for social games because the highs and lows are shared. there's a reason baldur's gate and such are famous yet niche... PoE is helping though
you're the worst
@SGT: absolutely nothing wrong with that. it's what i use and i'm known for being the guy who makes all the battle games

Nothing wrong with simple formulas. Use shit the player can actually look at and say "Okay, I know exactly how and why that damage is being calculated". Makes the game way more fun than some over complicated nonsense that yields virtually the same results.
