    Hey all, I was wondering since I couldn't really find this anywhere, is there a way to change the stats to the "classic" RPG stats? I'm talking pen and paper classic, STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA. The only problem I have is that there is no way to change the 8 base stats the software comes with. I'd rather have STR to dictate melee damage and skills, but I have many classes, so I want to be able to make other classes use CON for their melee or even after a certain point combine the two. Is something like that possible? If not I can just stick with the the base stats, but that doesn't lead to as many interesting class options other than different skills.

    Go to the database, then terms, you can change the stats under parameters. Though making some of them act different (meaning you could change LUK to CHA but it wuld still act like LUK in battle) I'm not sure about, I have never tried, may require a script.

    Using different stats for attacks for different classes should be doable, just need to change the formula in the skill tab of the database. Edit: Though it comes to mind that I don't know off the top of my head how to have different classes use different standard attack formulas, and I don;t have time to try right now.

    If you haven't gone through them already, these tutorials are very helpful (http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/support/products/tutorials), and you can find other in the forums.

    I understand that, I think what I'm looking for is a script. I want basic attacks to use different stats dependent on class. So Warrior uses STR for hit chance, but Rogue uses DEX. I worded it incredibly poorly, but what I'm looking for is being able to have stats effect basic attacks, not just skills. I'm not sure if it's possible though.

    each skill has its own damage formula, and that can be edited in any way you want.


    However, that damage formula will stand no matter who uses the skill, so you'll have to make different skills for the different classes if you want them to use different stats.


    If you want to have the actors class dependent different attack skills, you'll need a script - I think yanfly has one for that.

    Yup, Weapon_Attack_Replace. (Despite the name, can be used by others beside weapons)

    yea, you just need to replace each actors default attack skill with one that uses the desired stat within the formula.

    Thanks Waterguy, that script will do what I need, not the way I imagined doing it, but it works!

    So with this script one could, let's say, leave the "attack" skill (#1) where it is, but then this script would call upon the equipped weapon's base damage instead?

    So if I had a mage and wanted their attacks with a staff to be weak, I could institute this and just edit the formula on the staff... and not need to have a different attack skill for each class?

    You mark the actor/class for unarmed damage and the weapon for specific damage, using a skill's formula (and in the case of unnarmed damage, animation).
