Title: Skill Abilities
Post by: Kuiper7986 on June 11, 2003, 12:14:22 am
I think there should be special abilities for each skill as in each skill can only learn a certain type of non-magic command ability, which makes each different race different. These were taken from FFX but I think they\'d be good skill specific abilities. Thus taking very long to learn all abilities because there are so many skills.
(All these abilities can be only used in battle and are only for that point in time when you are having that fight, they can\'t carry over to the next fight).

Flee: Aid the party\'s escape from battle.

Pray: Restores some of the party\'s HP.

Cheer: Raises the party\'s Strength and Defense.  

Aim: Raises the party\'s Accuracy  

Focus: Raises the party \'s Magic and Magic Defense.

Reflect: Raises the party\'s Evasion

Luck: Raises the party\'s Luck, thereby enhancing the party\'s Accuracy, Evasion, and critical hit rate.

Guard: Intercept physical attacks that are directed at any party member.

Sentinel: While maintaining a defensive stance, intercept physical attacks that are directed at any party member (Cannot block magic attacks or all party attacks).  

Steal: Steal items from an enemy.

Threaten: Immobilizes the target with fear.  

Entrust: Transfers the character\'s entire Overdrive charge to an ally\'s guage, adding to the total.  

Copycat: Mimic the action of the last ally to take a turn in battle.

Doublecast: Cast two black magic spells in a row.

Bribe: Pay off enemies in return for safe passage and items (use more tria for better results).

Unfortunately, the Shinra ownes all phones, so you end up in an office

BUt you forget your finishing move, so the commander locks you up in a giant prison that can bore itself into the ground!

Anyways, the point of all this is, we can\'t just copy everything we like in other games. We have to stay original. Besides, the combat in PS isn\'t turn based and uses a whole different system then Final Fantasy. Also, you don\'t have to post these things, because a lot of the devs are great RP game fans and also have played FF and also know that these abilities exist. Therefore it\'s useless to post them here. Be original, and creative.

You two are like way too spooky...

Post by: Caldazar on June 11, 2003, 06:57:38 pm
Alright Errion.. you are scaring the shit out of me... please stop it right now! 8o

I like your ideas Kuiper, perhaps you gain one class-specific skill and one race-specific. Any thoughts on how it should be used? Perhaps like in DAoC where you have special abilities on hotkeys:
Run: 1
Hide: 2
Sword: 3
Heal: 4
etc.
Title:
Post by: Yann on June 11, 2003, 10:35:52 pm
Kuiper : there will NOT be attack phases !
The combat will be in real time !

So many of your \"ideas\" cannot be implemented...

Post by: Kuiper7986 on June 11, 2003, 11:59:55 pm
okay I changed the effects on the abilites so they may be used in real time.
