[RPG] Magic Fixed (Hopefully)

[Kalanyr]

Since chain lightning should cost 100 MP the Necromancer must still be bugged:

Fighter attacked The Necromancer using Roundhouse Kick dealing a damage of 73 leaving The Necromancer with 43 HP and 104 MP

The Necromancer used magic on Fighter casting Chain Lighting dealing a damage of 4 leaving Fighter with 73 HP and 0 MP

Fighter attacked The Necromancer using Roundhouse Kick dealing a damage of 15 leaving The Necromancer with 28 HP and 97 MP

(He's only lost the MP for the damage he took from the Roundhouse Kick).

 

[Kalanyr]

And yeah most definitely still bugged I just Horrid Wilted the Minotaur King and it cost me 0 MP.

I was fighting the orc right before I came home from work (9:30 GMT) and I was taking MP with damage and casting for free still.

One thing I understand now and don't necessarily think is good:

Damage is based upon MP remaining? I don't think that's a good thing if true - consider that the Necromancer (lvl 2) killed me at level 7 the last two times I fought him - I had over 100 hp each time and he killed me in one round each time. I attacked, I died. I wondered how this was happening when he had a 40 STR to a 199 DEF, but if its based upon MP remaining then I understand.

Wouldn't it work better if it was Spell cost and STR that determined damage?

 

[Kalanyr]

It is Spellcost and strength (basically at the moment Spells add their mana cost to your strength for the purpose of damage at the moment (I'm guessing the Necromancer chucks a Chain Lightning/Horrid Wilting/Meteorswarm at you and so has a virtual strength of 140->290.

 

[Sniktch]

Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining I guess I won't be helping him level up for a littlw while

 

[Seonaid]

Are MP still deducted for each successful attack against you? That seems messed up, as noted in other threads. It makes magic almost pointless.

 

[Kalanyr]

Yes they are (which is why if Morrus implements the armor as MP penalty thing), I'm going to stick to my armour and killer weapons and ignore magic.

 

[Kalanyr]

Holy mother of God Crothian THAT's A LOT OF EQUIPMENT, I need to kill more minotaurs.

 

[Crothian]

your the one sitting on what 4 sapphire enchantments??

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Really doesn't seem like you have much less, Kal.

I'm sticking to weapons and armor as well.
