More Future Job Changes?

What I meant was that it could possibly reduce the number of lines in the code. And I'm not quite sure why a damage formula couldn't be something simple. :f6:

The formula we currently have for Power Guard is almost the same really:

Damage Recieved = (Floor)[Monster Damage * 0.50]
Damage Reflected = (Floor)[Damage Recieved * 2.00]

Actually, the damage reflected doesn't even need a formula in Power Guard's case. Here, let me do that again:

Damage Recieved = (Floor)[Monster Damage * 0.50]
Damage Reflected = [Monster Damage]

It really isn't that difficult to make a damage formula, the only part that could be considered difficult is calling the code so that the monster's health will be effected accordingly. Though, in all honesty I find that part relatively easy as well.

I suppose making a formula that would be considered balanced would take some actual thought, but really, how imbalanced would it be to deal 7-10k extra damage when a monster touches the player? Though, you never mentioned balance, so this last bit here wasn't really necessary.

the only problem with tha formual as it doesnt account fir the defence of the player. with my power guard i find i reflect 3times the damage i receive. not 2. So the formula is more reflective of the orginally damage the monster can potenially do. (before achillies)
