I've had lots of ideas for roleplaying games, what I'll be listing is stuff that I would use for a video game console RPG. Some ideas I got from other games, but with me doing more with the classes, in other cases the classes are about the same as the games I got them from and other class ideas I came up with on my own.

Here are the main character stats for my setup:

Strength- Affects the power of melee weapons(like swords, staves, etc.)

Agility- Affects how quickly you act in battle

Resilience- Affects how much damage you take from physical damage.

Accuracy- Affects the attack power of long range weapons(guns, bows and arrows)

Evasion- Affects how well you can dodge attacks

Vitality- The higher this stat is, the less likely you will be affected by status ailments from physical attacks, breath attacks

Willpower- The higher this stat is, the less likely you will be affected by status ailments from spells and special skills, also affects the power of healing spells

Offensive Aura- This stat affects the power of attack spells and other energy based skills

Defensive Aura- This stat affect how much damage from attacks and other energy based skills

Mind- This stat affects the power of psychic attacks and anti-robot skills

Luck- This stat affects the odds of certain skills success(stealing from enemies, for example)

Critical Hit Rate- Affects how often you will get critical hits

Appearance- Affects the power of dances

Charisma- Affects the power of songs

HP(Hit Points)- The higher this stat, the more damage you can take, if it reaches zero, you die

MP(Magic Power)- The higher this stat is, the more spells you can use

KI(Battle Aura)- The higher this stat is, the more fighting skills you can use

PP(Psychic Power)- The higher this stat is, the more psychic and anti-robot skills you can use

Chakra(Ninjutsu Power)- The higher this stat is, the more ninja skills you can use

Races: I have 14 human races for the game. The difference in stats are actually kind of subtle, and only really have an affect early on, so it doesn't matter which you choose. The different human races are mainly for diversity.

1. Human- The most common human race around, well rounded and balanced.

2. Numan- Started out as genetic constructs, this race is alittle more agile than normal humans.

3. Dekarian- A human race that has a dark complexion. They have strong constitutions.

4. Caterian- A race of people with cat ears and tails, they're agile and flexible. There are three variations of this race.

Human Caterian- They look the most human of all caterians, with the ears and tail being the only noticable features.

Neo Caterian- They have furry arms and legs, along the ears and tail.

Feline Caterian- Their whole bodies are covered in fur, making them the most cat-like of all three versions

5. Averlyte- A race of people with butterfly wings, they have good magical abilities along with the ability to fly.

6. Wind Mystic- A human race that has a fair complexion, they also have good magical abilities. They don't have wings but can fly like Averlytes.

7. Incubus & Succubus Fairy- A race of fairy like humans, they're fairly charismatic and attractive.

8. Inunari- A race of humans with dog ears and tails, they're fairly swift and strong.

9. Elf- A race of people with pointed ears, they tend to develop good skills in magic, other than that they're similiar to humans.

10. Elerat- An elf race with ferret ears and tails, except for being more flexible, they like elves.

11. Rammarian- A race of humans with ram horns and ears, they're very strong.

12. Kitsunari- A race of humans with fox ears and tails, they're fairly flexible and often clever. There are three variations of this race.

Human Kitsunari- The most human looking of all kitsunari, only the ears and tail are noticable.

Neo Kitsunari- They have fur on their arms and legs, along with the ears and tails.

Fox Kitsunari- Their whole bodies are covered in fur, making them the most fox-like of three.

13. Sea Mystic- A human race that can breathe underwater, they're also pretty strong.

14. Sazian- A race that started out as a genetic construct. They were created from a mix of Human, Human Caterian, Numan, Averlyte, Wind Mystic and Dekarian DNA and magical energy from esper stones. They're agile, have good magical abilities and strong constitutions.

I'll discuss more on this and the weapons/equipment/skills for the classes later.

Okay, I done for the moment with the important stuff, posting is allowed now.

what's in it for me?

what's in it for me?


Sorry about that, I just wanted everything up until after the Class Preference system uninterupted.

Since that was the most work I did on it so far.(while I have other stuff in mind and old stuff wrote down, I have to rethink it abit, due to the fact that I revised the class list)

I didn't mean to sound like a jerk. ;)

I will list what equipment the classes open up after they are mastered soon.

Note, I'm still abit low on what to assign to certain classes. I haven't wrote any of what I'm about to type in, so some help and ideas would be good too.(Karma for those who suggest)

Wiith each class, there is a certain rank of equipment at the most that they can access, mastering that class will allow you to access the equipment even if you switch to a different class, this is what I've decided with weapons. Most likely with protective gear, you will have access to what you can equip.(based on other factors that I haven't decided on yet)

Note: Characters will be able to equipment a rank or two of most if not all weapons, classes just open up higher ranks.

This is by far one of the deepest class trees I've ever seen.

I just need to figure out a couple of other weapons.

I think that would only require some lateral thinking.

Singer mainly, why did I put a ?? by Cosplayer.

Well, maybe because you haven't figured out a good fit for Cosplayer...think about it. Cosplaying gives you...what? Every weapon under the sun, really. So long as it's homemade...

Well, maybe because you haven't figured out a good fit for Cosplayer...think about it. Cosplaying gives you...what? Every weapon under the sun, really. So long as it's homemade...


Well, I took the ?? off for it, maybe there should be a special weapon category for it that allows the costumes to be used.

Since alot of techniques require a certain weapon.(or maybe 2 or 3 that are compatible with the techniques, depending on the class)

Super Star also learns a few magical costumes as well, so I will have to add it to it too.

a cosplay class. that's actually quite clever. although yeah, it's so meta it could be anything. i mean, just saying someone does cosplay, does that mean they're good at something or bad at it? it would present some challenges.

they're pretty much good at making costumes, that's the only thing you could say for sure.

Cosplayer abilities are actually magical, they magically change into the costumes. If they do a costume change into a Fighter, they gain bonuses in their attack power for example. The skills are actually only usable in battle. I'm just trying to think of a magical weapon type that will allow them to do the magical costume change.(the weapon also changes to suit the costume)

Super Star(A hybrid class which requires Cosplayer, Dancer and Singer to be mastered) also learns some costume magic.

Still stumped on the Cosplayer weapon.

Still stumped on the Cosplayer weapon.
i'm a little out of my depth here but couldn't you have different weapons linked to different costumes and then as the character goes up in level he/she would get additional costumes each with a different weapon linked to it?

like if it was D&D you might start off with a cloak and a dagger, then next level you get leather armor and a short sword, and finally you'd have magical full plate with heavy-plussed two-handed swords.

okay, i'm going to kill myself for geekiness now. ;D

Actually, the weapon is what allows the transformation to happen.(You can't do it without it)

I did actually think of possible weapon type, magic needles, but I'm not completey sure if I should use it.

I forgot to mention that there are two types of experience, one is for character stats and the other is for job profiency, the two are seperate.

These ideas are more for video game than for D&D playing.

Cosplayer itself isn't a strong class, so it's used to gain access to Super Star.

I'm going to go with the Magic Needle magic type for that class. I can't think of anything else.

Just something nice and well-rounded, right?

Yep, I'll give examples of how the Class Preference works.

OK, sweetl

I have the effects on the Mastery Bonuses down,(Love +10, Like, +5, Indifferent =, Dislike -5, Hate -10) the rating affects all the stat boost on the Mastery Bonuses(So if you loved Knight, the boost would be Attack Power +35, Hit Points +35, instead of 25 each)

The other rule of the Class Preference System is that you have to equals in system.

I'll give a couple of examples, using Athena and Helene.(Note: Indifferent doesn't have to be shown in the list, since what isn't in the other catergories is automatically in indifferent)

1. Athena

Loves: Knight, Black Belt
Likes: Battlemaster
Dislikes: Sage
Hates: Sorceror, Acolyte

2. Helene

Love: Sorceror, Acolyte
Likes: Sage
Dislikes: Battlemaster
Hates: Knight, Martial Artist



In other words, Love equal to Hate, Like equal to Dislike.


Also, no more than 4 classes in each of the affected categories.(Love, Like, Dislike, Hate) Indifferent is exempt from the rule, since it's the leftover classes.

Ah, that clears things up.

Now with the Class Preference system, you don't have to stick to one type of class category.(like Fighting classes or Magic classes)

You can mix it up as much as you like.(to what you prefer)

I'm trying to figure out where to go next with this thread. I could start up the race's starting stats, or start figuring out what different skills and spells each class will have.(This I could use input on, I have a decent amount of ideas, but not for every class)

Low sleep isn't helping at the moment, so I'm kinda stuck.

Edit: Also need to post pros and cons with the classes.

The different Human races' base stats.

Note: This is just an example base stat setup, as different characters would vary abit stat wise. If it were a video game, this setup wouldn't exist, mainly because different characters would grow different and be suited to different classes. Overall, the base stats only really affect character growth early on, from experience level 1-30(200 is the max exp. lvl), so over the long run, the difference in stats is subtle more than anything else, since affects on the base stats starts starts slowing down gradually after 30.

I'll also list different classes that are better for different races.

(The Human race is the one I'll base averages off of, to adjust with other races)

Human: This race is the most balanced stat wise, making them a jack of all trades suited to any class you prefer.

I need to list class pros and cons next.

This will take some time to do.

Class pros and cons

With this list, I'll show what the classes strengths and weaknesses are. The first 9 sets of classes(the ones that open up higher ranks just by mastering the class necessary to do so) will be listed together. Mainly to make it alittle easier. With the other classes, I'll have to list them individually.

1. Swordsman > Warrior > Knight

Pros: This class set excels at sword techiques, going into Warrior and Knight opens up axes and spears. This class set boasts an excellent strength and hit point boost and the different weapon skills that are learned do major damage. The Mastery Bonus accents this class set well, with it's Attack Power+25 and Hit Point+25 bonus.

Cons: This class set doesn't learn many skills that hit multiple enemies, so it's versatility is somewhat lacking. While in the lower tiers of this set agility is penalized enough to make for a slower character that will act later in battle, but luckily this will be no problem once your reach the master level class of this set, which like all master, hybrid and special classes, has no penalties.

2. Martial Artist > Grappler > Black Belt

Pros: This class set is fast and powerful, learning powerful martial arts attacks and acquires use of claws and nunchuks. They also have a good critical hit rate, making them ideal when you need someone to dish out alot of damage. They get a good Mastery Bonus as well, Attack Power+30, Critical Hit Rate+20.

Cons: The weapons that this class set gains access to are alittle less powerful than the Swordsman>Warrior>Knight class set, although this isn't too big of a deal. They also grow less hit points than the Swordsman>Warrior>Knight, but their resilence boost makes up for this abit.

3. Gunfighter > Gunner > Soldier

Pros: This class set has excellent accuracy and learns different gun skills, they also have a great hit point boost and get access to the many different guns, some of the guns hit multiple targets. Their Mastery Bonus is the best among gun wielders and archery, Accuracy+30 and Hit Point+20.

Cons: Almost all of the techniques of the first two tiers of this class set only target one enemy, only after entering the Soldier class you will learn skills that hit more than two targets. This class set is also painfully slow and has weak offensive aura and defensive aura stats, until you enter Soldier, which has no penalties in it's stat adjustments. Also, most guns don't do much damage to undead spirit enemies.

4. Ninja > Jonin > Shinobi

Pros: This class set excels in using shurikens, are very fast and has excellent evasion. They gain access to Katana and Nunchuku weapons. The shuriken techniques they learn are incredibly powerful. Their Mastery Bonus is Evasion+30, Chakra+20.

Cons: This class set falls into being a middle range damage doer when compared to most of the pure fighting classes. Their shuriken attacks, however, are their strongest assest(due partially to the fact that Shurikens are incredibly powerful). Shurikens are abit expensive to keep stocked, they're 1 time use weapons. They're not as sturdy to physical attacks with their hit points and resilience being alittle lower on the scale when compared to most other fighting classes and the Mastery Bonus is not as useful.

5. Athelete > Olympian > Pro Athelete

Pros: This class set learns melee attacks and skills that are based on different sports and they gain access to sports weapons. Their skills not only do good damage but also cause different status conditions and can lower the enemy's stats. They have solid stat boosts and their Mastery Bonus is spread across three stats: Attack Power+20, Hit Point+15, KI+15.

Cons: This class set is the lowest damage doer out of all the pure fighting classes, and their stat boosts aren't incredibly high, they're not too sturdy to physical attacks(like the Ninja>Jonin>Shinobi class set). The Mastery Bonus they get, which is spread across three stats, is less powerful than the two stat spreads of the other classes(this is actually not a big negative, if your character likes or loves Pro Athelete, the stat bonuses will be higher). Still, this class set is a very good choice to be and stay as.

6. Mage > Enchanter > Sorceror

Pros: This class set learns powerful offensive spells as well as offensive support. They have high magic boosts and offensive aura growth as well as a Mastery Bonus of Magic Power+25, Offensive Aura+25. The attack spells that they learn are of various elements thus giving them alot of options.

Cons: This class set is not physically strong and the weapons they equip are staves and knives, these weapons are not very powerful. They're not good at taking damage from physical attacks and have alot of stat drops during the first two tiers of the this class set, the final tier of the class doesn't any stat drops in the adjustment. You'll spend more time casting magic with this class that fighting physically.

7. Cleric > Pilgrim > Acolyte

Pros: This class set learns healing magic and defensive support as well as alittle offensive magic. They also have high magic boosts and high defensive aura growth. One of the weapon sets they can equip are spears, giving them decent fighting options when they don't need to heal or use magic in general. Their Mastery Bonus is Magic Power+25, Defensive Aura+25.

Cons: This class set, although better at physical fighting, is still kinda like the Mage>Enchanter>Sorceror, they're still not strong physically. Their offensive spells are more limited in element variety than the Mage>Enchanter>Sorceror class set. This class set's Offensive Aura boost is lower than the Mage>Enchanter>Sorceror class set(not by alot, though. The Mastery Bonus does factor in alittle as well). This class set is best suited to healing and support, with offensive actions being second.

8. Scholar > Telepath > Psychic

Pros: This class set learns different language techniques, mind games and psychic abilities. The psychic attacks they learn are very useful in most situations and some are good against spirit enemies. They grow high mind and psychic power stats. Their Mastery Bonus is Psychic Power+25, Mind+25

Cons: This class set is not a physical fighter, period. Their weapon options are books and crystal balls, which are not powerful weapon choices, so you won't have them attack enemies very often through normal physical attacks. Most of their psychic attacks are not elementally based, so they won't get additional bonus damage against most enemies. They're kinda inbetween the two main magic class sets in the other stat adjustments and they don't get much of a Offensive Aura and Defensive Aura boost in the final tier of this class set. Still a very good class to master and stay as, due to the useful psychic skills.

9. Tamer > Monster Tamer > Beast Master

Pros: This class set gains the ability to tame wild monsters to call into battle and help aid the party! They have a high Willpower and Vitality boost, giving them a higher resistances to status ailments. They learn different breath attacks and can equip whips, which hit multiple enemies. Their Mastery Bonus is Vitality+25, Willpower+25.

Cons: This class set doesn't have alot of direct offensive options at their disposal(except for breath attacks and a monster summon that calls all tamed monsters to attack once each), so they'll be fighting with physical attacks more often when not taming wild beasts. Their Mastery Bonus isn't anything to really talk about either, as it helps them alittle more defensively than anything else. Still this class set is definetly useful for it's ability to tame wild monsters.

10. Merchant

Pros: This class can appraise items and find extra cash after battles. They can get deals at special shops and call an army in battle to attack(it costs money to do it). They're main weapons are spears and the abacus. They get a slight boost to they're hit point and mind stat. This class is required to enter two different hybrid classes.

Cons: This class has alot of stat drops in the adjustment, and both weapon types they use are single target types(except for a couple of the abacus weapons) and they don't get any other offensive attacks other than calling an army.

11. Thief

Pros: This class learns stealing abilities and is very agile. They can equip knives, whips and boomerangs, then last two which hit multiple targets. They also learn a few useful abilities that can aid the party. This class is needed for two hybrid classes.

Cons: This class, like Merchant, has alot of stat drops in the adjustments. They also have less strength than the Merchant class and are alittle less sturdy.

12. Sailor

Pros: This class learns different techniques that are useful while at sea as well as attack skills that are effective against aquatic monsters. They're fairly strong and sturdy. The weapons they use are spears as well as bows and arrows. This class is needed for a hybrid class.

Cons: Their attack skills are only really good against aquatic enemies, they're not exactly versatile due to do this fact. They also have a severe Chakra drop in the stat adjustments, although this is only bad if your wanting to use Ninjutsu skills.

13. Wrecker

Pros: This class learns different attacks that are effective against robotic enemies, they also can salvage robots to call and aid in battle. They have a fairly good Mind stat and Psychic Power boost as well. They can equip guns and maces. This class is required to access a hybrid class.

Cons: This class's offensive attack skills only work on robotic enemies, they won't damage any other enemies. This makes for no variety in offensive options, they also have a decent amount of stat drops in their adjustments.

14. Ranger

Pros: This class learns different bow and arrow skills as well as hunting for food. They have a decent accuracy boost and can equip bows and arrows(redundancy in the Pros section) as well as maces. This class matches with another class to make a hybrid class.

Cons: This class has very few stat boosts(but it doesn't have many stat drops either). They're bow and arrow skills are not incredibly powerful either.

15. Chef

Pros: This class learns different recipes and has decent Vitality and Willpower boosts. The food they can make has many different effects, ranging HP recovery to temporary stat boosts in battle. This class is required to go into a hybrid class.

Cons: This class learns no offensive skills at all. This class also has a decent amount of stat drops in it's adjustment. The only weapons they can use are knives.

16. Dancer

Pros: This class boosts a high agility and appearance rating and learns a variety of dances. The dances they learn can damage, stun, charm or confuse enemies among other things. They use fan weapons, which also gives them an appearance boost. One of three classes required to go into a hybrid class, also has a second hybrid class that mixes with a fighting type class.

Cons: This class has alot of stat drops in the adjustments, so they are fairly vunerable to attacks. The fan weapons they can use are not particularly strong.

17. Singer

Pros: This class has a high charisma boost and learns songs to help out the party in battle. The songs they learn can heal and assist the party, they do learn song that damages enemies. They can use sticks and microphones as weapons, the latter also gives them a boost in Charisma. This class is one of three that is required for a hybrid class.

Cons: The Singer class is more defense based than Dancer class, so they're not quite as effective in delivering attacks. Like the Dancer class, they also have alot stat drops in the adjustment. The microphone weapons are not very strong either.

18. Cosplayer

Pros: This class is pretty quirky in the fact that they develop magical costumes to add stat boosts to them in battle. Depending on what costume they use will boost different stats. So if they don a fighter costume, they'll get a boost to their attack, resilience and agility for example. They can use sticks and needles for weapons, the latter is needed to use the magical costumes. They get a good appearance, charisma and luck boost. This class is one of three that is required for a hybrid class.

Cons: Most of this class's stats are dropped adjustment wise, making them pretty poor in combat(the costumes do help balance this alittle bit, however). The costumes drain magic power for each round you stay in them(the amount depends on the costume), so you have to plan their use carefully. The needle weapons are not powerful on their own(but do gain power in costume form).

(The costumes become more helpful after you enter the hybrid class Super Star, more on this later)




Whew! In the next day or two I'll be doing the hybrid classes as well as the Special classes.

19. Battlemaster

Pros: Accessed by mastering Swordsman and Martial Artist, this class learns different slash and fighting techniques that do high damage to specific types of enemies. They have good boosts in strength, resilience and hit points and can equip swords and spears. Their Mastery Bonus is Attack Power+20, Hit Point+15 and KI+15.

Cons: This class's techniques are not as powerful as the Black Belt and Knight's techniques, since most of what is learn is pretty specialized towards certain types of enemies. This class is still pretty good to stay in, but it's even better to master on the side to give more versatility to another class.

20. Sage

Pros: Accessed by mastering Mage and Cleric, this class learns some special offensive, support and healing spells. They also learn weapon attacks using staff strikes(they can use staves, knives and spears) and have good boosts in magic power, offensive aura and defensive aura.
Their Mastery Bonus is Magic Power+20, Offensive Aura+15 and Defensive Aura+15.

Cons: Although a somewhat minor negative, they're spells are alittle lower in power than the Sorceror and Acolyte's and are not sturdy against physical attacks. Kinda like Battlemaster, this class is better to learn on the side for extra versatility.

21. Magic Knight

Pros: Accessed by mastering Swordsman and Mage, this class learns different elemental sword slashs and offensive spells. While they're stat boosts are not very high, the boosts are spread around alot of stats. They equip swords and spears and have a Mastery Bonus of Attack Power+15, Offensive Aura+20 and Magic Power+15.

Cons: This class is more offense based, it doesn't learn anything for support and doesn't have very high boosts in defense(Resilience and Defensive Aura wise).

22. Monk

Pros: Accessed by mastering Martial Artist and Cleric, this class learns different Holy martial arts strikes and special support skills. They're pretty strong physically and have alot stat boosts(although most are not very high). They can use Claws, Nunchuks and Staves. Their Mastery Bonus is Attack Power+15, Defensive Aura+20 and KI+15.

Cons: This class's offensive skills don't offer much in the way of variety(element wise) and they're are more defense based, their Offensive Aura doesn't get as much of a boost as the Magic Knight's.

23. Ninja-Dancer

Pros: Accessed by mastering Ninja and Dancer, this class learns unique ninjutsu skills and dances(The dances that are learned are mainly offensive in nature). They learn elemental based shuriken skills, are very agile and have good appearance boosts. They can use katanas and parasols. Their Mastery Bonus is Chakra+30 and Agility+20.

Cons: This class's shuriken skills are not as powerful as the Shinobi's. Out of the mixed fighter/magic(or fighter/accessory in this case) hybrid classes(compared to Magic Knight and Monk), this class is not very sturdy as it gains only a slight hit point and resilence boost, Ninja-Dancer gets no boost to Defensive Aura.

24. Super Star

Pros: Accessed by mastering Dancer, Singer and Cosplayer, this class learns all sorts of useful dance, song and costume magic. The skills they learn are more for support and healing, although they do learn some attack abilities as well. They have the highest appearance and charisma stat boosts out of all the classes. They can use fans, sticks, microphones and magic needles and have a Mastery Bonus of Appearance+25 and Charisma+25.

Cons: This class's offensive abilities are not as powerful as other classes are(although still very good), they only get a slight magic power bonus. They aren't particularly sturdy to physical attacks, kinda like the Sage class.

25. Lodgemaster

Pros: Accessed by mastering Ranger and Chef, this class learns advanced hunting and cooking skills as well as powerful arrow attacks. They have a strong accuracy boost and can use bows and arrows as well as knives and maces. Their Mastery Bonus is Accuracy+20, Vitality+15, KI+15.

Cons: Another hybrid class that isn't uber powerful in their attack skills, they're over shadowed by other more powerful classes(although their attack skills are stronger than the Super Star's). This class is used more for hunting and cooking with fighting being a very close second.

26. Robohunter

Pros: Accessed by mastering Wrecker and Gunfighter, this class learns powerful skills that are effective against robotic enemies and can salvage very powerful robots to call into battle to aid the party. They have a solid accuracy boost and very good psychic power and mind boosts. They can use guns and maces and have a Mastery Bonus of Accuracy+15, Mind+20 and Psychic Power+15

Cons: Although slighty more versatile than Wrecker(due to having alittle Gunfighter skills), their primary attack skills only damage robotic enemies(with the exception of the robot summons). The need to master another class to add abit more versatility will be necessary to help with fixing this problem.

27. Seatrader

Pros: Accessed by mastering Sailor and Merchant, this class learns some advanced attack skills that are effective against aquatic enemies, they are able to find more cash after battle than the Merchant class and can deals at sea ports. They can use Spears as well as Bows and Arrows. They have good strength and hit point boosts and a Mastery Bonus of Hit Point+20, Resilience+15, Vitality+15

Cons: This class's attack skills are middle ground in power when compared to more powerful classes, so they're not as powerful in comparison(although their skills are still quite good).

28. Bandit

Pros: Accessed by mastering Swordsman and Thief, this class learns some effective slash attacks and high level stealing and stealth skills. They have a high agility boost and can use Axes and Swords. Their Mastery Bonus is Agility+30, Attack Power+20.

Cons: Another Hybrid class that learns attack skills that are middle ground power wise, this class is more useful for stealing and stealth.

29. Black Marketeer

Pros: Accessed by mastering  Merchant and Thief, this class can get deals at black market shops and steal items from mutliple enemies at once. They can use knives, whips and boomerangs, they also learn some special boomerang attacks and more powerful army call skills. They have the highest luck boost along with good evasion and agility. Their Mastery Bonus is Luck+30, Evasion+20

Cons: With the exception of their most powerful army call skill, most of their other attack skills are not very powerful. This class will benefit from having another class mastered with it for more versatility.



7 classes to go!!!

30. Chosen One

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Bravery, learns powerful fighting and magic skills. They have good stat boosts in alot of areas and use swords and spears. They learn the most powerful sword skill in the game. Their Mastery Bonus is Hit Point+20, KI+15 and Magic Power+15.

Cons: Their stat boosts are mainly middle ground(neither highest nor lowest). Their fighting and magic skills use a decent amount of KI and magic power.

31. Caller

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Spirits, learns many different spirit summons. They use whips and sticks. They have good boosts in offensive aura, defensive aura, appearance, charisma and magic power. Their Mastery Bonus is Magic Power+15, Offensive Aura+15 and Defensive+20

Cons: This class only learns summons, so it's a good idea to have some other classes mastered for versatility because of that.

(Caller compliments classes like Psychic and Super Star quite well. But it's still a good class to master and stay as, as long as you have other useful skills for battle)

32. Grand Fighter

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Fighters, learns alot of useful fighting techiques(more powerful than the Battlemaster's and just shy of the Knight and Black belt in power). They have good stat boosts in strength, resilience, hit points, KI and agility. They use swords, axes, nunchuks and clubs. Their mastery Bonus is Attack Power+25 and KI+25.

Cons: This class doesn't learn the most powerful fighting skills out of all fighting classes, so skill wise it's just alittle underpowered compared to Knight and Black Belt.

(If you plan on mastering and staying as a Grand Fighter, mastering another fighting class is a good idea to get the most out of it. It has very good boosts to accent fighting abilities)

33. Alchemist

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Alchemy, learns alchemy skills to make new items and equipment out of 2 or more items. They also learn abilities to double and triple the power of different items that are used in battle. They have good magic power growth. They can equip sticks, staves and knives. Their Mastery Bonus is Magic Power+30 and Offensive Aura+20.

Cons: This class doesn't have many stat boosts in general and it's more of an accessory class. It's better to master on the side.

(Alchemist is a good class to compliment classes Black Marketeer and Seatrader)

34. Berserker

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Berserkers, uses it's powerful rage to do wild attacks(Refer to as the Berserk skill). They also learn a skill that increases their attack power each time they take damage. They can equip swords, axes, clubs and sports weapons. They have the highest critical hit boost out of all the classes. Their Mastery Bonus is Attack Power+20, Critical Hit+30

Cons: This class's attacks are random while in Berserk mode and some of their attacks also do damage to them in recoil, so you definetly need to keep their hit points up.

35. Specialist

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Libra, learns spells that will do triple damage to different enemy families(it will do normal damage to other enemies). They grow high magic power and good offensive aura and defensive aura. They can equip guns and knives. Their Mastery Bonus is Magic Power+15, Offensive Aura+20 and Defensive Aura+15.

Cons: This class, like Alchemist, doesn't have many stat boosts. Only offensive spells are learned, so this class is best mastered on the side.

(Specialist compliments classes like Robohunter quite well)

36. Cat-fighter

Pros: This class, which is aquired by a Book of Neko, learns powerful boomerang and claw attacks(They can equip boomerangs and claws). Some of their skills also cause status ailments. They have a high agility boost and good chakra boost. This class has a Mastery Bonus of Attack Power+15, Chakra+15 and Evasion+20.

Cons: This class's boomerang skills lack abit of versatility(most of them target multiple enemies), so they'll have to relay on their claw skills when facing powerful foes.

Something else to bring up is that the Mastery Bonuses are not affected by class stat adjustments(they are added on separately to the adjusted stats, so if you have 120 Magic Power based upon stat adjustment percentage and the Magic Power Mastery Bonus is +20, your Magic Power would be 140).

I have forgotten about the different elements in the game that are categoried to different magic and skills until now. These range from common ones to a few I've made up myself.

Holy
Explosive
Projectile
Element(More on this one later)
Dark

I think that's all the different element types.

Enemy types are as is...

Normal: Most variable type of enemy, they tend to be more diverse in what types of elements they're weak to.

Flying: Pretty variable, but most are weak to Projectile, Explosion and Wind magic and skills.

Magic: Magic enemies are fairly variable, but practically all of them are weak to Rune element type magic and skills.

Fire: Fire enemies are weak to Ice and Water magic and skills, a rare few are weak to Explosive element magic and skills.

Ice: Ice enemies are weak to Fire magic and skills, some are even weak to Explosive type magic and skills.

Water: Water enemies are to Lightning magic and skills, a rare few are even weak to Ice magic and skills.

Earth: Earth enemies are weaker to Water magic and skills, a rare few are weak to Sound magic and skills.

Undead: Undead enemies are weak to Fire, Element and Holy magic skills, a rare few are weak to Earth magic and skills.

Spirit: This is a second form of the Undead enemies, they are more often weak to Sound, Holy and Element magic and skills, a rare few are weak to Dark magic and skills.

Robot: Robotic enemies are kinda of odd, Explosive spells and skills always do normal damage and some(but not the majority) are weaker to Lightning magic and skills. There are a rare few that are weak to Water, Ice, Fire, Earth and Sound magic and skills.

Sacred: Sacred enemies(ones that have the Sacred element, but are not of the positive persuasion) are weak to Dark magic and skills.

Dark: Dark enemies are often weak to Holy and Element magic and skills, a rare few are weak to Rune magic and skills.

Evil: Evil enemies(I know it sounds silly to make Evil and Dark separate, but there's a reason) are often weak to Holy and Element magic and skills, a rare few are weak to Sound and Rune skills.

This game has given me some ideas for a possible game setup. But I will need to set up some things first. More on this later.

Some Master, Hybrid and Special classes have extra benefits to being in them. Here are a few examples....

Pro Athelete is more resilient to Athelete attack skills.

Ninja-Dancer, Super Star and Psychic are more resistent to Charm and Seduction skills.

Magic Knight is more resilient to Rune skills and magic.

Monk is more resilient to Holy skills and magic.

Chosen One is more resilient to Element skills and magic as well as more resistent to Death spells and skills.

Berserker and Psychic are more resistant to Confusion skills.

That's about all I can think of for now, I'll see what else I can think of later.

I'll give some enemy description ideas now.

I have hundreds of enemy ideas for the game, some based on other games, some my own creations.... Here are some of them:

Pipsqueak: This enemy race is based off of an enemy in the Goonies 2 NES game. They're short, low powered enemies(they look kinda like midgets).

C.C.: These enemies are human guys that are clones of sorts, there are a few versions of them(like in palette swap versions, from weakest to strongest). Stronger versions do use some other forms of attacks(namely from the Athelete family).

Roxy: These are, of course, human girls that are clones as well, like the C.C. family, there are a few versions of them. Stronger versions tend use martial arts based attacks(mainly kicking attacks) and magic.

Bo: Slime enemies inspired off of the Dragon Quest series(almost like slimes and babbles/bubble slimes), there are several versions of them.

Flying Bo: These are flying versions of Bo slime enemies(with wings and feet).

Nerd: Yes, human nerd clones, they tend to use magic and psychic attacks. There are at least four versions of them. I do also have human psychic and magician/cleric enemies as well. The nerd enemy family is earliest type of magic/psychic users in the game though.

Armor/Metallic enemies: This is taken(i.e. ripped off) from Dragon Quest's own metal monsters. Basically certain enemy families have(Pipsqueak and Bo for example) have Armor/Metallic types in them, they have extremely high defense, low hit points and an immunity to the majority of spells and skills(there are a few skills that do work on them, however). They're worth alot of experience, but they tend to run away alot.

Shadow Demon: I don't know if any other RPGs have this type of enemy family in it, but what they are is demons that look like shadows(but their form is physical). There are several versions of them, they use dark based skills and magic more than anything else.

Bouncer: These are robotic enemies that are based off of a type of robot from the first Mega Man game(their name is "Big Eye"), these robots tend to use laser beams and jumping attacks(whether to make the ground shake or stomp on the enemy). There are a few versions of them.

Ball Robot: These are strange robotic enemies that have a ball shaped theme to them(their heads mainly, they have tube shaped bodies and limbs). They tend to specialize in electical attacks. There are at least three or four of them(haven't decided on the actual number yet). Bouncers are cousins to this robot family.

Mandaru: Another cousin to the Ball Robot, this ball robot family of sorts is actual shaped completey like a ball(with limbs and head hidden inside that come out when they decide to attack), they use a decent variety of attacks including rolling over their enemies for heavy damage. There are at least four versions of them.

Dust Ball/Dirt Ball/Sand Ball: These are fairly early earth element enemies, they're not very strong and tend to use attacks that lower your stats, Sand Ball is the only one that uses a spell for damage.

Dust Cloud/Fart Cloud/Fire Cloud/Snow Cloud/Light Cloud/Dark Cloud: This is probably going to be the biggest enemy family in the game setup. Dust Clouds are the weakest, but can cast spells for damage and lower accuracy. Fart Clouds can stun you and also use a psychic attack. Fire Clouds use fire spells and skills. Snow Clouds use, of course, ice spells and skills. Light Clouds use holy spells and skills and Dark Clouds use Dark spells and skills.

Lackey: Lackies are a Pipsqueak family variation that has several family types. They are basically stronger more refined versions of Pipsqueaks. They come in Swordsman, Martial Artist, Mage, Cleric, Gunner, Psychic and Thief versions. Their name variations are based upon experience level(Which varies for each of their class type families).

Here are quick descriptions of a few others.....

Cheerleader: A family of enemies that special in dance skills.

Football player, Baseball player, Basketball as well as other atheletic based enemies that specialize in sports skills(some that are original to them).

The usual assortment of sword fighter, martial arts, magic user, gun user, ninja and psychic enemies.

There are also Dancer, Singer and Master Entertainer enemies.

Next post I'll list some boss type enemies.

There was three families of enemies I forgot to mention on the last post. So before I go to some of the bosses, here they are....

Punk: This is a family of enemies that kinda look like punk rockers of sorts, there are at least 3 versions of them and they tend to use gun and song skills.

Mini-Punk: This is a short height version of the Punk family, they also use gun and song skills as well as alittle magic. There are at least 2 or 3 versions of them.

Ambushers: This enemy family tends to pop up in forest areas, they are actually guys that are hiding in bushes that they wear around themselves(you see their hands and eyes peeping out). Although not a particularly powerful enemy family, they tend to get to catch you off guard in the beginning of fights(where they get to attack,but you don't that round) more easily than most other enemies(until you abit higher in experience than them). The skills they use tend vary abit, but the stronger ones can use fairly strong spells and skills, there are least four of them.


Boss ideas....

Ron: This guy is actually based off of a person I knew for a short period of time at my second job. He was pretty egotistical, so I made a comical version of him(which you fight more than once in the story I set up). He tends to use a mix of attacks, but isn't particularly powerful. If fact, the first time you fight him he doesn't have much in the way of good skills period.

Super Echidna Yoto Grandma Killer: This is a character from a fake game listed in an April Fools ad in an April issue of Maxim magazine. She has her own unique attacks including an attack with her lizard arm(for moderate damage), using her devil shoe(to boost her and her partner's speed) and using her cane to fire a dart shower(low to moderate damage to all party members, moderate to high damage from the one target version). Like Ron, you'll fight her more than once in the game, although those are the only skills she'll ever have(but those skills will be stronger in later battles of course). Her normal attack does low damage, as she only hits you with her cane as a basic attack.

Sidekick Is Donut: This is the other character in Super Echidna Yoto Grandma Killer April Fools game ad in Maxim. Sidekick Is Donut is more of a support character to Super Echidna Yoto Grandma Killer in boss fights, Sidekick Is Donut uses healing magic as well as boosting defensive stats in battle(Resilience only in the first battle, in later battles can also boost Defensive Aura and Evasion). Sidekick Is Donut also casts an attack spell for moderate damage(to a single target) in all battles(but won't use it that often). Sidekick Is Donut is not a strong physical attacker.

Reginald: This is a fairly powerful Ball Robot type Boss in the game setup. He uses electical skills and laser beam attacks, can also call Ball Robots to aid in battle(I'm not sure which type yet).

Smilin' Joe: This character was made up by someone I knew in high school. He is a fat dumb looking guy who uses a baseball bat with a nail in it. Needless to say, he uses atheletic attacks(he has decent upper body strength, but is low in the agility department). He also has some henchman, which are next on my list. You'll fight him more than once in the game(and he'll have stronger skills in the later battles).

Joe's Henchman: These guys are, of course, Joe's thugs. They are actually part of the Baseball Batter enemy family(which is part of different sports enemy families I mentioned), they also use atheletic attacks as well(and have stronger ones in later battles). Smilin' Joe and Joe's Henchman are a play on two boss fights in Dragon Warrior 3(Kandar and Kandar's Henchman).

Archy Bomber: This character is a master of Explosive magic and skills, he uses Knives for normal attacks. He is alittle on the plump side, but is more far more agile than Smilin' Joe will ever be. His name is a play on Archy Bunker. You fight him late in the game setup.

Rick T: This guy is a master of gun skills, he is a powerful boss fought later in the game setup. You'll definetly need defensive skills effective against gun skills to reduce the damage this guy does.

Buzz: This guy wears a robotic suit that looks like a hornet with arms and legs(based off of a mascot from my high school), he's pretty versatile, using a wide variety of attack skills(including slashing one character with his stinger for high damage or slashing the entire party with his stinger for moderate damage). This is also late boss fight.

Shado-en: This guy is king of the Shadow Demons, he uses powerful dark skills and can call Shadow Demons into battle to aid him. One of the last main boss fights. You'll also fight a revived more powerful form of him called "Necro Shado-en".

Feredity: The second to last boss fight in the game setup. He is actually not truly evil, he was driven insane by the brutal murder of his girlfriend. This caused him to search for power so he could get revenge. He is an Incubus Fairy.

Maruden: Final boss in the game setup, he needs a body(dead or alive) to enter and exist in, he uses Feredity by promising him immense power. A pure evil entity.

Edit: These are not the only bosses in the game, just some that I remember off the top of my head.

I also have thought of using enemies from other games, but I actually made a game with other characters, I would have to make it a free doujinsoft type role playing game. Also would have to label who created what.

A few enemy characters from other series that I would like use(this game would definetly have to be a free doujin game and I would have to make sure to credit those enemies to who came up with them):

Pols Voice: This is an enemy from the original Legend of Zelda game on the NES. It hates loud noises(on the Japanese version of the game you could shout to kill them, but that's because the Japanese controllers had microphones in them, the U.S. version didn't. On the U.S. version they made them weak against arrows). In my game setup, the would be two versions of them.  One family for random encounters(at least 2 versions) and the other version for boss fights(at least 2 versions). They would be weak to sound spells and skills.

Cho Aniki characters: Well... most of them wouldn't be bad guys, but there would be some characters from the series you would battle(one boss fight where you have to prove your worth by defeating them as well as a few that are evil). The original game series is, well, very flamboyent.

Bladers: Flying robots from the first Mega Man game. They look like little propeller heads with teeth. Their original name is bunbi heri.

Rock Monster: AKA Yellow Devil in the original version of Mega Man(Nintendo ask for Capcom to change it to a different name due to the fact that the word "Devil" has religious overtones), I would actually use this one as a boss fight.

There are a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Here some silly enemy ideas I've had for awhile:

Sailor Beavis

Sailor Butt-Head

Yes, they have Beavis and Butt-Head's heads, but have the bodies of the Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon. In my game idea, they're actually robots of sorts, a comical crossover idea. They attack with fire and electrical attacks, although they employ the attacks in very absurd ways.

I'm trying to figure out what to do next.....

If I start doing the different skills for all the classes I'll have to write it down first(I can't make it up while posting).

This will take some time....

While I do have my preferences listened for classes, I don't want to list it until I get some others too.

Wow you have really thought this out.

Wow you have really thought this out.


Alot of these ideas I've had for years, so that's part of the reason....

I did abit of revising before I started this thread(The classes get the biggest changes, I'll have reassign certain spells and skills differently now).

Weapon Descriptions:

Swords: Powerful blade weapons, varying from short to long varieties, equipped by classes like Swordsman and Battlemaster.

Spears: Another powerful weapon type, although just alittle lower in strength than swords. Equipped by classes like Cleric, Magic Knight and Seatrader.

Axes: Powerful weapons similiar in strength to swords, varying from hand held to long stick types, equipped by classes like Warrior, Berserker and Bandit.

Nunchuku: Weapons that consist of too small stick like parts connected by a chain, they're fairly powerful. Equipped by classes like Martial Artist and Ninja.

Claws: Gloves with blades attached, a stronger weapon than nunchuku. Equipped by classes like Martial Artist and Monk.

Katana: Slender short swords, they pretty strong but are alittle weaker than standard swords. Equiped by classes like Ninja and Ninja-Dancer.

Guns: The most powerful weapon type in the game, but most(except for the most powerful as well as some special ones) have a max limit in the amount of damage they will do(because accuracy only affects the damage up to a certain point), range from shots to cannons. Equipped by classes like Gunfighter and Wrecker.

Sports Weapons: These weapons are different depending on what sport is made for, ranges from tennis rackets to golf clubs and baseball bats(baseball bats are the larger number of them). They fairly powerful, equipped by classes like Athelete and Berserker.

Knives: Small hand-held blades, not the most powerful of weapons, equipped by classes like Mage, Chef and Thief.

Staves: Staff weapons that vary in length, not particularly powerful, but some cast spells when focused instead of being used to attack. Equipped by classes like Mage, Cleric and Sage.

Books: These weapons, though not strong, increase the Mind stat while equipped. Equipped by classes like Scholar and Telepath.

Crystal Ball: These weapons increase evasion alittle while equipped, they're alittle stronger than books, Equipped by classes like Telepath and Psychic.

Whips: Moderate power weapons that strike multiple enemies, equipped by classes like Tamer and Thief.

Maces: Sticks with spiked balls attached, they have a good amount of power. Equipped by classes like Tamer and Robohunter.

Abacus: Magic Calculators on sticks, they're not very powerful, but some yield special effects and a couple hit multiple enemies. Equipped by Merchants.

Boomerangs: A throwing weapon that hits all enemy targets in battle, they're not powerful, but the multiple target hits make up for it. Equipped by classes like Thief, Black Marketeer and Cat-fighter.

Bows & Arrows: Long distances shooting weapons. They very strong, but not as powerful as guns. Equipped by classes like Ranger, Seatrader and Lodgemaster.

Fans: These weapons increase the appearance stat when equipped, they're not very strong though. Equipped by classes like Dancer and Super Star.

Sticks: Basic short length weapons, they're stronger than staves, but lack any magical properties. Equipped by classes like Singer and Cosplayer.

Club: Powerful blugeoning type weapons ranging from wooden clubs to hammers. Equipped by classes like Athelete and Grand Fighter.

Microphones: These weapons increase the Charisma stat when equipped, but they don't have alot of attack power. Equipped by classes like Singer and Super Star.

Magic Needle: These weapons have to be equipped to use Cosplayer costumes. They don't have much attack power on their own, but do get attack bonuses after changing into magic costume. Equipped by Cosplayer and Super Star.

Parasol: Umbrella weapons with thick needle points on the end, they're pretty strong. Equipped by the class Ninja-Dancer.

I'm going to modify the previous post, especially since a power surge of some sort just happened while I was typing(causing the computer to shut down).

Finished!!!

Got some ideas from Lunar Eternal Blue to compliment the Ninja-Dancer class.

Once I get in the mood, I'll share ideas that I got from the games 7th Saga and Just Breed.

In 7th Saga for SNES, you were able to pick between 7 characters to play as(as well as get one of the others to join you at a certain point).

I think that is a pretty cool formula, so I have an idea to where you can pick from 15 characters and get 4 more of them to join you at different points. Each of the characters would have different preferences though, so some of them are harder to get to join than some of the others. Naturally some of the classes would be used in this idea, but there would be no class change system.

Just Breed is an RPG of sorts were you have multiple heroes each with their own army. Although I think some of the battles are setup differently than in most traditional RPGs(involving different monster areas you have to seize, some of the battles are more turn based though), I would like to use the multiple army idea theme, but keep more to the Dragon Quest/Warrior turn based battle system. Alot of classes could be used in this one, but I wouldn't allow for class change, since there would be alot more characters.


Next I'll do a description of how the different classes would change your appearance(although different characters would vary alittle, the theme of the class would have some general traits in the look).

Something else to do would be to list various spells and skills.

Bumping to keep active.

wow I really can't  wait for this to get started. Is Mucho excited.

I'll definetly have to get the computer reloaded before I start doing on gaia. Although I can still go to gaiaonline at the library to do it if need be(since I have far better luck there).

I went on gaia real quick last week to check up on my accounts.

As well as weapons, protective gear and accessories.

The only problem with doing spells and skills is this...

The last time I wrote them down was when the class system had less classes and didn't have any 3rd tier classes besides hybrid and special classes.

So while I do remember what I put in some classes, I don't remember all of it and will have to make up some new skills for other newer classes(which I do know what direction to go into).

Edited a couple of classes stat boosts. so that they make more sense.

Will get to class appearance and sample spell and skill list tommorrow.

I do the main tier fighting classes for now.

Note: While appearance will most likely not be edited, some skills and spells could be changed(whether it's name or damage modifying). Also I have to redo the skill and spell setups, so I don't have everything ready yet(in case you wonder about why some powerful classes don't have their strongest skills listed at the moment).

For skills that have a power rating, 100 is normal damage level(based on characters attack power), if the power rating is 220, then that means it does 2.2 times more damage.

I just need to make complete lists for all of them, some I had to make up while doing, others(olders like Magic Knight and Ninja-Dancer) I already had skills for before(although I want to improve those as well).

Hmmm...

Here are some character class combinations of the high rated classes... It's not new class ideas, but simply combinations of classes that one character masters... I'm simply giving them titles for the combo.

Pure Fighter:

Knight + Black Belt + Shinobi + ProAthelete + Battlemaster + Grand Fighter + Berserker + Cat-Fighter

This combination is nothing but close range fighting and energy blast attacks, although it is overall overspecialized, it's not bad doing this, since fighting types tend to do more attacking than anything... It does take awhile to achieve it.

Pure Magic User:

Sorceror + Acolyte + Sage + Specialist

This combo makes one character the ultimate magician, although it's not that good of an idea to make one person access all magic, they can't quite do everything at once... Magic characters are better tending to certain seperate roles.(one more of a healer and supporter, one more offense oriented, another that might mix it up with both on the side)

Item Creationist:

Alchemist + Lodgemaster

Mastering both these classes makes a character that can access all item making skills, from cooking to alchemy... This actually works well, since it isn't necessarily an overload on specialization(being only two classes).

Master of Summoning:

Beastmaster + Robohunter + Caller

This combo makes a person a master of all battle aid summons. Although like the Pure Magic User, this abit of an overspecialized combo, making it too complex.

Master Scout:

Seatrader + Bandit + Black Marketeer

This combo is the ultimate scouter, gives the best of merchant and thief abilities. It's alittle overspecialized, but it's battle versatility makes it worthwhile to ignore that problem.

Master of Style:

Super Star + Ninja-Dancer

This combo gives you all entertainment skills, nice since both classes have appearance and charisma boosts. Ninja-Dancer also helps with alittle fighting skills for extra versatility.

There are some other combos that I will list later... These are some of the most basic.

A bump with a few plans that need to be done soon.

I'm going to fix both Alchemist and Specialist, adding a couple of extra stat boosts to make them alittle more effective in other areas.

As well as adjusting some skills.

I will also post a few other class combos to put characters in here shortly.

Red Mage-ish combo:

Magic Knight + Monk

Mastering these two hybrid classes makes the ultimate magic fighting combo, it isn't over specialized either... Due to only being two classes. Having both will give your character great versatility.

PWNsome Magic Knight:

Knight + Sorceror + Magic Knight

This is like an ultimate offensive powerhouse, both in fighting and magic.

Master Monk:

Black Belt + Acolyte + Monk

This is the sacred fighting version of the previous combo.

Have now modified Alchemist and Specialist. They're both alittle bit better stat adjustment wise.

Will list my character's class preference list here in the near future.

Step-chan's class preferences:

Loves:

Ninja-Dancer
Cat-fighter
Caller

Likes:

Shinobi
Sage
Super Star

Dislikes:

Robohunter
Battlehunter
Knight

Hates:

Pro-Athelete
Soldier
Bandit

Notes: Step-chan grows high speed, very good strength, very good offensive aura, high chakra, high appearence and charisma. Most of his other stats are average to good. Step-chan's weakest stats are his resilience and defensive aura, which make it important to equip him with items that will boost those stats.

I'll do some other characters here later.

I'll do some characters from other series next. Starting with the Homestarrunner series. I'll also do notes that explain things about that each character stat wise(as to what their strengths and weaknesses are). I'll also edit that into my character's list next.


Homestar Runner:

Loves:

Pro Athelete
Battlemaster

Likes:

Black Belt

Dislikes:

Psychic

Hates:

Sorceror
Sage

Notes: Homestar Runner has high speed, KI and very good strength. Most of his other stats range from average to good. Homestar Runner's weakest stat is his intelligence, which makes him lousy for Psychic and Robohunter.

Strong Bad

Loves:

Magic Knight
Bandit

Likes:

Sorceror
Psychic

Dislikes:

Specialist
Sage

Hates:

Acolyte
Monk

Notes: Strong Bad has solid attack strength and very good offensive aura, intelligence, Magic Power and Psychic Power. Most of his other stats are average. Strong Bad has low appearance and charisma, so it's best to keep him away from Super Star and Ninja-Dancer.


The Cheat

Loves:

Bandit
Soldier

Likes:

Alchemist
Blackmarketeer

Dislikes:

Sage
Caller

Hates:

Acolyte
Seatrader

Notes: The Cheat grows high accuracy, luck and KI, most of his other stats are in the average range. The Cheat's lowest stats are his hit points, strength and resilience... So he will need good accessories to help make up for those deficits.

Airrider

Loves:

Soldier
Sorceror
Robohunter

Likes:

Black Belt
Sage
Acolyte

Dislikes:

Caller
Specialist
Berserker

Hates:

Bandit
Blackmarketeer
Alchemist

Note: Airrider has high agility, very good strength, accuracy, offensive aura, KI and magic power. Most of his other stats fall into the average to good area. His lowest stats are resilience and defensive aura, accessories to boost those stats will help out.

Hey, I know I could use these classes in our fantasy battles, but are these necessarily how they work there too?

Not really.

For instance, the Sash Dance that my character knows is different in damage, in my RPG ideas, it does a certain amount more than a normal attack. In the fantasy battles, it has a set amount of damage.

Oh, I see.

Oh, I see.


Yeah, so the Fantasy Battle thread just uses some of the moves from the RPG thread with different rules applied to them.

Strong Mad

Loves:

Berserker

Hates:

Psychic

Notes: Strong Mad has high Hit Point, Strength, Resilience, Critical Hit and KI growth. Most of his other stats are average. The weakest stats he has are Intelligence, Offensive Aura and Defensive Aura, making him a soft target to magic and energy based attacks.


Strong Sad

Loves:

Acolyte

Sage

Likes:

Psychic

Dislikes:

Battlemaster

Hates:

ProAthelete
Knight
Black Belt

Notes: Strong Sad's best stats are his Intelligence, Offensive Aura, Defensive Aura, Magic Power and Psychic Power, he also grows fairly good Hit Points and Resilience. Strong Sad's weakest stats are his Strength and Agility. While his Appearance and Charisma are also on the lower end of the scale, they're still higher than Strong Bad's for the most part(especially Charisma).

I need to get back to this.

Zeke

Loves:

Knight
Sorceror
Alchemist

Likes:

Magic Knight
Shinobi
Caller


Dislikes:

Blackmarketeer
ProAthelete
Psychic

Hates:

Monk
Super Star

Zeke grows high strength, very good resilience, offensive aura and KI. Most of his other stats are average, his weakest stats are defensive aura, mind and vitality... making him a softer target to energy and magic attacks as well as status ailments.

More enemy types I think I forgot to list.

Dapple-whistle family: This is a robot type family that resembles railroad crossing signs, tends to attack with lights and beams.

R&R sign family: Another robot type family, more of physical attacker, looks like an orange railroad sign(you know, the ones that pop up about a block before the railroad tracks).

Jolly Ball Clown: This is a sports related enemy of sorts, they stand, balance and attack on a large medicine ball. While not uber-powerful, some of the attacks they do are pretty strong. There are at least 3 types of them.

Another boss idea:

Ghost of Action 52- This glitchly 52 in 1 NES video game comes back from the dead to seek revenge on those who mock it. It's attacks are primarily based off of it's own sudo-quasi games(if they even qualify as that much) and glitches.

Some of these are:

Summons: It will summon a character from one of several games at random, there is also a chance no one will come to it's aid. Some of the summons include Bubblegum Rosie, Alfredo, Non Human and Micro Mike. No more than two summons can be out at once.

Music Glitch: Attempts to shock your entire party with a bad music glitch from Lollipops, rough odds of it working are 30%.

Fuzz Power: drops a bunch of furball midgets on your entire party, it does around low level damage.

Boss bombs: A crudely drawn hand drops a bomb on one party member, does moderate damage.

Silver Sword: Drops a sword on one party member, does high damage.

Incomprehensible Glitch: This is a more a gamble type of attack that Action 52 will do, although it has no control over it. You will see it at least a few times in the battle. It has alot of different effects, some can even benefit your party!

What is said when this glitch happens:

Action 52's glitch was incomprehensible!

Some of the effects:

1. Makes the screen shake, hurts your party. Damage varies alot with this one.
2. Heals your party's HP by varying degrees.
3. Damages Action 52 by varying degrees(this one has the potential chance of killing it if it's HP is low enough).
4. Heals Action 52 by varying degrees.
5. Nothing happens.
6. Kills one of your party members(this one is very rare).
7. Action 52 loses a turn.

Stat wise, Action 52 has weak physical attack, so it's normal attacks will do little damage to anyone in your party. Since it relies on it's other abilities to fight, normal attacks will be pretty rare though(maybe a few times in the fight), Action 52 gets 2 attacks per turn. Action 52 is in the robot/machine/program category, so Wrecker and Robohunter skills damage it.
