Weapons : Critical Bonus

[Kain Nobel]

Kain Nobel
Version: 3.5
By: Kain Nobel

Introduction

All this does is give your weapons a new stat which increases your chances to make a critical strike. The nice thing about this scriptlet is you don't have to create weapons which increase an actor's AGI just to make them more likely to strike a critical, it is weapon-based instead of just AGI based only.

Features

• You can give weapons an additional critical strike bonus
• Works alongside the normal attack effect formula
• No need to increase the AGI+ of the weapon to achieve higher critical hit rates
• Should work with custom scripts that give enemies equipment
• New 'random' methods created for Kernel, just as a bonus
• Doesn't override my "OverKill" damage system (not yet posted)

Instructions

Place Above Main, Below SDK (Only if Using)

Compatibility

Should be compatible with anything. If its not placed below anything that modifies Game_Battler.attack_effect, it might not work properly. If you don't understand this, just place it below every custom script but be sure it is still above Main.

This script aliases Game_Battler#attack_effect, so if you're using an exotic CBS or ABS that doesn't use that method, this script won't serve any purpose.

Author's Notes

Works with my Battlers : OverKill script.

Terms and Conditions

Another "Free to use in commercial and non-commercial games" script, obviously with credit thanks :thumb:

Excellent! I was about to go into script requests for this... But the search function pulled through!
