Almagest Battle Modifications, adds a zodiac compatibility system like that of Final Fantasy Tactics Options

[Andrelvis]

Almagest Battle Modifications

Version: 1.3
Author: Andrelvis
Release Date: 07/26/09


This script adds a zodiac compatibility modifier that is applied to attacks and skills, enhancing or reducing their effect; it also affects curative skills. The higher the compatibility between the signs of the attacker/skill user and that of the target, the higher the effect.

The compatibility between signs is easily customizable.

EDIT: Updated to include an option for having a new skill, Numerology (functions somewhat like the one from Final Fantasy XII). It is deactivated in default. It does damage as per this equation: Damage 2 ^ N, where N is the number of times it has been used before without missing. The Hit Chance also decreases over time; more details in the customization section below.

Hope you enjoy!

[Show/Hide] Updates

1.1: Fixed a bug in the attack damage formula that made the zodiac modifier be multiplied by four.
1.2: Fixed a bug in the attack and skill damage formulae that could cause problems if either user or target didn't have a zodiac sign. Fixed the zodiac compatibility for those with non-specified sign.
1.3: Added the Numerology skill option.
