1. DRAIN ATTACKS PLZ. Damage is less than DPS skills, heal is less than a standard heal, but it deals both damage and healing in exchange for being weaker than a single effect.

Since you don't have any Support, Controller or Hybrid sort of class(es), which I get seeing as you want to stick to the classic triangle, I'll just suggest drains to let me technically heal people and then go back to spamming debuffs and poisons.

Sorry any groups that have to double-up on healers because mine will not care enough about their official role. :' )

(But that's why Nemo's a paladin, right? Lol.)

2. Alize. Befriending Nemo in another stupid way. Getting along well until something stressful gets between them and then: WILL THEY HOOK UP, OR BREAK UP? IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT!

Spoiler: It's probably both.

3. Oh right I'm also going to play Chi-chan in our reenactment of that commercial series.

As for other things... . . . Is this still just a standard MMO with no trapped or other gimmicky aspect? Is it VR?

Some kind of repeatable dungeon-run system would be neat. Like a quest-chain or something? I dunno. I've never seen an MMO site tackle that aspect outside of one-time events/raids.

Bugs:
> I can't hit the edit button when I have my screen width at 50% because the bottom set of mini-profile buttons block it. I'll see the bottom sliver of the Edit button still, but it's rendered unclickable for some reason.

> Italics has a different background color than the rest of the blockquote? Unless that's intentional.

”Let me heal you.” Extends grabby hands.

In place of Uses/EP on skills, add Duration. Number of turns/posts/rounds an effect lasts.

Then add restrictions as needed.

Damage can't have Duration. (unless you have/make a DoT type)

Buffs/Debuffs require a minimum of 1 Duration.

Utility can't have Power.

So on.


So the final stats of a skill would be:

Targets (Number of targets, if any, and whether it targets allies/enemies or both)
Power (damage/healing/buffing/debuffing amount, if any)
Duration (time it lasts, if any)
EP Cost (as determined by Type + Tier, minimum 2)


When creating and leveling skills, points are distributed between Targets, Power and Duration.

EP Cost can't be changed by players, it's all determined by the system.


ADDITIONALLY.

We should have a rule that Drain splits its power in half. Half for damage, half for healing. Rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

That way, a Power 4 Drain isn't dealing 4 Damage AND 4 Healing (equal to 8 power), but rather, it will deal 2 Damage and 2 healing, equal to its assigned 4.


Then over on the GEAR side:

HP (Hit Points)
EP (Energy Points)
DR (Damage Reduction)


To balance the armor.... Light has the most EP, but lowest DR. Medium is equal between the two. And Heavy Armor is the lowest EP but highest DR...?

But then tanks might run into mana trouble. Hum.

Alternatively, we should have PDR and MDR, physical and magical damage reduction.

In THAT case, Light Armor has the most MDR and least PDR, Medium is equal between the two, and Heavy has the most PDR and least MDR.



Debuffs can lower Power or DR (or PDR and MDR).

Maybe there can also be status effects also. So that there's more options for creative debuffs, like:
Blind (roll a die to determine if it hits)

NPC to add!
Copy pasted notes from discord chats XD
Chippy, this bag NPC will be in game. It's happening. Legendary Bag of Chips: “chips has wares if you have coin, stranger” “chippy’s ppl call. chippy must go.”
I love this Bones character NPC too. adds to notes: NPC is a quest of hidden collectibles that build into a skeleton when you find them all and generates a friendly NPC. wear a Skeleton hoodie all the time, maybe some skeleton gloves and a mask or face paint.

What do you guys think? Should we make NPC accounts, or should I install the NPC plugin and anyone with staff access can just access these NPCs?
