Cut actions by element

So you played persona 3 and 4, and loved the ‘one more!’ system, and you want to use it, but fear that it’s too extreme, as this can break battles, if you dont spend a good time on debuging and balancing the game. Or you dont know what’s that about! Well, here I have something simple yet nice!

This system gives to the battles a new flavour. The flavour of making speed and elements WAY more important on your way to victory.  Simply put, if you attack an enemy with a certain element he cannot resist, and he didnt perform his action this turn yet (because you are faster, and so, you attack before), there’s a chance he’ll lose his action. That chance might very well be 100%.

How does it work? Adding the enemy or actor this tag system to their notes:

<action_cutted>
<action_cutted: element_id,percentage>;
<action_cutted: element_id,percentage>
<\action_cutted>

So for example, if an enemy can get stuned with element number 1, and allways will be stuned by element 2, we’d write

<action_cutted>
<action_cutted: 1,50>;
<action_cutted: 2,100>
<\action_cutted>

You can add as many different elements as you want, as long as you put ‘;’ at the end of each one except for the last.

Aditional FEATURES! are:

• Set a custom message for when an enemy or actor has lost his action this turn
• Set to play a sound when their action has been cut
