'Tactic Selection' when entering battle?

[Reives]

I'm thinking of a system where when you first enter battle and selecting 'Fight' option out of 'fight' and 'escape', it would then state a few choices of tactics for the fight with unique bonuses in the particular battle.

E.g. Defensive Stances - damage taken = 90%
Offensive Stances - Damage dealt = 110%

Etc., perhaps more advanced ones such as a chance of reflection, absorbing, counter-attack, or something more creative if possible.

Would be best if it works with RTBS (Cogwheel)~

Just thought it might make battles more customizable to the player's interest.

If anyone's interested in the request, thanks a lot! I'm mostly just throwing the idea out here though.

I can incorperate something like this into my Auto-Battle system that I am working on.

http://www.dubealex.com/asylum/style_em ... lright.gif[/IMG] Hmmm. I like this idea. Kinda tied up with requests, but I get what you're saying. By default (RTAB or no RTAB), the standard 'DEFEND' in your FIGHT/ITEM/DEFEND... etc menu cuts damage in 1/2 already if hit... but...

If heroes could learn different fighting styles, like martial arts allows, then each fighting style could add or remove benefits too.

Maybe have a fighting style that disallows weapons (big ones - in a hash) and would give an agility and defense bonus, while also reducing attack power.

As it would be best for each actor to have his or her own style, you will want to have it in the main menu (maybe a hot key in the 'status' window if not it's own menu option).

Changing the damage around would be around def update_phase4_step5 or update_phase4_step5(battler) for RTAB.

Jeez, I only started typing and I got this much planned out? It it wasn't for other requests... and I'm just perusing right now.

Oh, hi Cygnea. http://www.dubealex.com/asylum/style_em ... x/bye1.gif[/IMG] And Sephiroth Spawn was here all this time while I was typing!!!

Oh, hi Cygnea.

That was a bit creepy DerVVulfman because I just popped in here and found that waiting for me O.o But hi!

Anyway, your ideas sound great. If this is done, I'd be sure to use this since it fits what I have planned so well.

Trickster let the battle between your Auto-Battle system and my Battle Formations system begin *I have to stop doing this*

Thanks for the replies, and DerV's ideas are very useful. I was just throwing the general idea's concept out there, and you guys are more creative than me when it comes to this. :p

I feel guilty for requesting though, need to learn scripting myself sometimes ._.
