Mind you, buffs and debuffs only apply for the first eight in the list (in other words, MHP through LUK).
So, States Work in the Same Way, Right?
Mostly. You can declare
.add_state(X)
, where
X
is the database entry for the state you wish to use. The number of
turns a state will last is determined by the state's properties in the Database. So, if we have the default list of states
(of which there are 25), we can make an attack that poisons the user and damages the enemy as follows:
a.add_state(2); a.atk*4 - b.def*2
.
It is good to note that you only really need to use the commands when you want to apply effects to both the user
and the target. If you have a healing spell that also increases AGI, you can cover that just fine with a damage formula
and the Add Buff Effect (or you could use a Recover HP effect for the healing part of the spell as well).
With all that said, let's take a peek at the States tab of the Database (Figure
3-16
).
