engie, no amount of hit points can save you from terminal stupidity.

Oh, no, Engie, you're mistaken. He's not referring to it figuratively, but as the literal Terminal Stupidity status effect.

Terminal Stupidity: -15 to all stats, except the highest stat; that is -30.

Engie, the numbers don't lie. You can't survive that!

I'm beginning to wonder whether or not it should be applied as a character flaw to your character as well.

Hey, that'd be fun! Character flaws!
I'd go with 'all of the above'. That'd be fun.

Character flaw: Munchkin

Character flaw: Illogical

Halved bonuses from intelligence
May randomly forget to be governed by the laws of physics

Originally posted on 2016-02-20 10:33:00

Character 'flaw': Archsue

cons:
Gets very little respect from anything (unless in range 1).
Enemies will attack you first if they can. Even if there are more 'logical' targets.
May occasionally trip in non-combat situations. Never when tripping would be ultra-relevant.
You'll have to deal with a poorly-written plot made by some obnoxious otaku that focuses around you to the point where other players will strangle you the first chance they get.

pros:
+5 to STR, INT, AGI and SPC.
+10 to MP.
+15 to HP.
Permanent Zillycharm.
+1 Range on all attacks and spells.
+5 HP regen, +3 MP regen.
Can ignore all negative effects of terrain at-will.
Ignores any negative effects of any status condition.
Doubles the length of any positive status condition.
+80% resistance to everything, including non-elemental.
+2 Move, +50% dodge.
+3 DMG on skills and regular attacks.
+5 AC.
Automatically gains all Int-boosted versions of any spell.
Can cast any spell for 50% mana cost that you do not know.
Any spell you know is cast for free.
+50% SP regen per turn.
Automatically reloads any weapon, or alternatively gets double attack on any weapon that does not have reload (triple attack for weapons that attack twice)
Autorevives upon death once per battle.
Does not consume items upon use, no matter what they are.
Will always prevent friendly fire, even when wielding the Infernal Torment.
Adds all stats for DMG calculation, not just STR.
Anything that stays within Range 1 for more than 2 turns is automatically enthralled to your side, even bosses.
Is immune to Water Elementals and True Water elementals, as well as all Water tiles and every effect they possess.
Immune to strangulation.
Obtains the skills of any enemy defeated by you or enthralled by you.

Clearly the pinnacle of balanced.

How about a buff for STR so that it doesn't just give people 5 additional attack damage at best?

Originally posted on 2016-02-20 21:08:00

I like variants to stats, such as a weapon only gaining the upper limit with STR. :3

Originally posted on 2016-02-20 21:45:00

At 6 STR, gain 1 AC? It's small, sure, but it's also armor points and keeps people focusing on it from being TOO glassy. (Could gain a 2nd AC at 12 alongside minicrit bonus).

Alternatively, improve Range or retreat values at certain percentiles (+1 Retreat at 4, +1 Range at 8). That can be pretty strong. As STR is the stat for using weapons...

Originally posted on 2016-02-20 23:02:00

But retreat values would be for AGI, which is arguably the best stat right now, I think increased health and AC are probably the best additions to add.

I consider STR the weapon stat. Plus, it makes sense that you can retreat more if your strength is higher, as the weapon's lighter in comparison to you. STR could be considered weapon finesse, while AGI is just straight-up speed.

Granted, additional AC/HP is an equally feasible option, as said.

Oh, by the way, my bash attack does around 8 damage, which is on par with (or even greater than) some of the attack damages of most everyone else. Just thought I should point that out.

Welcome aboard me hearty.

Aaaaaaaaaand bossfight.

Annoyingly, Chairiel combines Zetta-tier health with only being 1 tile in size, so I can't just delete entire chunks of health bar with one shot.
