Immunity?

[ScareCrow1226]

Say you have a fire mage as a class, and you want the fire mage to have a suit of armor that makes him 100% immune to fire damage how would one make this ?

I was thinking first make fire an element.
This will reduce fire damage by half

But we want 100%

What if we make "NO Fire damage" a state as well
This will reduce fire damage by half

so shouldn't the suit of armor now have 100% fire immunity ?

Does anyone think this would actually work ?

I don't have RM open right now so I can't test it, however I'm wondering if a Class' innate resistances and an armor's resistances (they can have them right? XD ) can be stacked. So then apply highest possible resistance on the Fire Mage's class AND armor.

Note that if you create an immune to fire state that the state will be constantly on the character (I can't remember if RM allows various states to be stacked but I assume it does) but in that case, when the armor is removed you have to ensure the state comes off as well ( I don't usually have armor that induces states so I'm not too sure on this)

Unfortunately, no.

50% of 50% is 25%, not 0%

that being said, you could set the Element Efficiency of the FireMage class to D (50%), then without the armor he would be 50% immune.
With the armor he would be 75% immune (25% damage), and with both the armor & the state he would be...... Do the math......

Spoiler (Highlight to cheat): 87.5% immune (12.5% damage) :scruff:

Otherwise, we'd have to modify the scripts to add the element correction values instead of multiplying them.

Be Well

RMXP, at least, does indeed let you have armor that puts the user in a state while it's equipped.
