MDEF and PDEF?

[Actingman00]

I was working on my items and such and came across those, MDEF and PDEF. I assume they mean physical defense and magical defense, but I'm just wondering what attacks your opponents do that are magical? I looked around on the enemies tab and there wasn't any magic meters to tell their attacks, how do I figure out how much magical attack power my opponents have so I can balance out my gear. As well I need to know other things, does it just take your attack and minus your opponents defense to determine how much damage you do?

Also what is Dex, Eva?

thanks.

Dex = Dexterity
Eva = Evasion

You're right enemies don't have a magical attack parameter. Much like you as the player. Instead it is based off several factors. First the skill really determines the starting point for the strength of the skill/magic attack. Then the calculation goes into taking into account the four main attributes unless you are on the receiving end then physical and magical defense come into play. For further clarification though I would recommend going into the Readme and in the RPGMakerXP section the very last option is Battle Formula's. That will explain it more thoroughly than I can.

Good luck with it Actingman00! :thumb:
