All Hero Abilities Based On Stats

[Richardsteel]

I'm just wondering how realistic this idea is. I'd like to base all of my heroes abilities on stats. I know how to include stats in equations for ability effects that are already triggered, but I'm not sure about ability effects that are mainly done through the object editor. Is it worth even starting this process, or is there some sort of system that would help me do this? Thanks alot for any advice.

Sure, it's a good idea to make fairly original abilities and requires more fun in the gameplay because you need pick your primary attribute well and (if possible) pick the right attributes to add (by tomes or something).

I use this for nearly every ability in my FF IX campaign (since it's in the game mechanics to base ability damage on magic or strength ) and I can assume that people will like it

Good luck!

its tedious. but well worth it IMO. i as well am making every heros ability scale through their primary attribute in my map. u pretty much gotta trigger every hero ability in the game. or, well, just the abilities that u dub necessary

If you want an ability that has any kind of speciality (either in special effects, use or results), you'll have to trigger it. So that shouldn't be any reason to hold back.

It is worth it, it definitely is. As for the GUI based abilities, you can make a basic effect and trigger stat modifications to save some room in the trigger editor.
