VERSALIA'S PROFILE

Yeah, I don't automatically assume it'll halve, but I still expect something close to that to probably/hopefully be the case. RM2K3's formula is difficult to work with while the Final Fantasy series's formula is utterly asinine.

In the FF series, the way defense works is that damage is multiplied by (256 - def). So going from 0 to 128 def halves the damage you take; going from 254 to 255 def also halves the damage you take. Despite this fact, the increase in def from one piece of armor to the next becomes bigger and bigger as the game goes on; Iron Armor to Mythril Armor might only be a +4 def increase, while Crystal Armor to Genji Armor will be more like a +30 def increase. So upgrading armor for the first half of the game is practically useless, while the last piece of equipment you get will probably cause you to take 1/3 the damage you took while wearing the second to last piece.

You can't update/affect a disposed window/sprite/bitmap. Once it's disposed it shouldn't be used anymore, including disposing of it. Include a check to make sure you aren't doing it:

Flickering Life - Revive a fallen ally with about 10% HP but cause it to take fire damage over time for 3 rounds, 110 MP, usable once per battle

Well, first off, I would never give an enemy this attack.

Guys, you have to be using XP/VX for these type of moves, cause I don't see how it is possible in 2k/3.

when "HULK"
        stpool = []
        base = (obj.base_damage * obj.atk_f) / 100
        mod = (attacker.atk / target.def)
        hp_dmg = base * mod
        for state in attacker.states # cycle through each of the actor's statuses
          if state.type?("DEBUFF") or state.type?("AILMENT")
            hp_dmg *= 2 # double HP damage
            stpool.push(state) # add the state into the made-up pool of status effects "st pool"
          end
        end
            calc_cri(attacker, obj) if rand(100) <= attacker.cri and stpool.size <= 1 # apply crits now if it's done
         break if stpool.size <= 1  # if there are no debuffs or ailments in the st pool we made, don't bother continuin
         statuses = stpool.size
         hp_dmg = hp_dmg / statuses # divide damage by that many
         # end formula: Multiply damage by 2 to the power of (# of Statuses) then divide by (# of Statuses)
        calc_cri(attacker, obj) if rand(100) <= attacker.cri # apply crits now if we didn;t earlier
