Paladin's Quest:
- Paladin's Quest is a turn-based RPG for the SNES. In Japan it was called 'Lennus'.
- The game has 2 main PCs (Chezni and Midia), and a number of 'mercenaries' that can be hired to fill out the last 2 slots of a 4 person party. This stat topic will feature all mercenaries. It should be noted that some of the ones which are available early are quite bad if you keep them around. Even though these mercenaries level up and gain stats as normal, their equipment is locked.
- Paladin's Quest has the following stats:
HP: Hit Points. Deplete to 0 and the PC is out of the fight.
Power: A measure of physical attack. This + an offset depending on the attack - Enemy Defense = damage.
Speed: Base speed stat.
Endurance: Base defense stat
Luck: A measure of chances to hit and inflict status and gain critical hits. I think.
Attack: Power + All equipment attack bonuses. This stat is actually worthless in determining damage! The listed equipment bonuses don't tell the whole story.
Defense: This is straight subtractive defense. Enemy attack power - Defense = Damage.
Attack Speed: This is speed + bonuses. This is used to figure out turn order, with a healthy dose of randomization.
- You will notice that there is no MP stat in PQ. This is because all spells take HP to cast. Damage averages will be adjusted to account for the HP damage inflicted.
- All equipment in the game is usable. Usually it will only result in a weak physical attack, but some equipment has an itemcast associated with it. I'll list this with the equipment.
- Level taken at 55. Enemy defense taken at 230 (averaging endgame enemies), Assumed attack power of enemies is 535 (This is both close to the real average/median of enemy attacks and is .4 PCHP against average def with a multiplier of 2)
- Using a boot or unarmed foot appears to be attacking with a weapon equal in power to the PC's level. This makes kicking things in the face a shockingly good option for large parts of the cast.
- Elements: Paladin's Quest features 8 elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Sky, Lightning, Air, Heart, and Sphere. Over the course of the game Chezni and Midia learn all elements (except Midia and Fire), but the mercenaries come with a set of elements and they can not learn new ones. Elements have 'levels' on each PC, and using spells that include the corresponding element increase those levels. For the purposes of this topic I've assumed everyone maxes out the elements they have. This impacts the damage done by the corresponding spells, but it also serves as a base elemental magic resistance. Enemey spells tend to be weaker than physical attacks, so these elemental defenses actually represent a sizable reduction in damage as a percentage. I am assuming that a spell would deal 250 damage to an 'average' defense and adjusting from there. I'll include the durability modifiers for every element.
-PCs can heal in Paladin's Quest by using either itemcasts or "Bottles". Bottles are items that are equipped on each PC, and hold 9 shots of healing. These are refilled in towns at item shops/inns. I'd allow them to be 9 shots of the appropriate level of healing to the relevant people. Chezni and Midia would use Giga-Bottles, which is MT full healing. Of course the MT part is meaningless here. Important to note that using a Bottle grants a significant speed boost, while using a healing item-cast actually results in a speed penalty for that round.
-Status effects: There are no blockers in PQ, but I believe the elemental resistances serve as a form of status defense. Statuses involve Confusion (Daze), which makes you randomly physical a target that is not yourself, Freeze (Think 'stop', not 'icicle', which stops the PC from acting, Poison, which does damage whenever a turn is taken, and Paralysis, which stops a PC from taking an action just like Freeze. Freeze and Confusion have a 1/3rd chance of wearing off whenever the target gets a turn with the effect (so Freeze will always cancel at least one turn). On the turn Confuse wears off it simply acts like a turn cancel.

Comments: Chezni is fast, durable, very damaging (having roughly OHKO damage with his physical and overkill damage , and has a bevy of backup ablities with 9 shots of full healing. Godlike. Buffing, healing, damage, status... His flaws are middling HP (like everyone who isn't Nails) and a lack of status defense (like everyone period). Special mention to ATBack and MGDown, as the HP-damage scales in PQ mean reflecting even half damage is a LOT.

Comments: She's fast. She's durable. She has lots and lots of options. She can heal forever. For amusement, she can equip the Adult Clothes and cast MGDown first, then any average attack on her will result in OHKO damage for the attacker. Her backup physical can get good with buffing/debuffing... doesn't win decisively turn 1 unless Freeze kicks in and gives it to her, but she is hard to deal with sans Status. Heavy/Godlike.

Comments: His damage is horrible, so he is left with only ATback to deal with enemies. This spell does a good job (remember, average incoming physical damage = the enemy eats OHKO damage), but the problem is his speed. His name lies, and he is actually not fast. That means he will have to take 2 hits from an enemy. Not impossible but not exactly safe. And he's boned vs mages. [/b]Light[/b]

Crush (130 HP): Chance of 113 physical damage to all. Reduced by defense, not element res.
AntiPS (4 HP): Removes poison from 1 ally
Comments: Kinda speedy and okay durability, with healing, a bit of status and damage that isn't horrible. A Middle?

Dft S (20 HP): Instantly kills all enemies (0% chance)
Atback (30 HP): Grants a shield that deals 50% of physical damage received back to the attacker. Incoming damage is not reduced. Reflected damage is ITD

BoltS (18 HP): 74 lightning damage to one

FireS (12 HP): 56 fire damage to one
Comments: Speedy with ATback. That is already nasty for physical attackers. Beyond that she has the ability to indefinitely fully heal with the Life Corsage. Her durability and damage, while subpar, are good enough to keep her afloat in Middle.

Dfup (55 HP): Increases defense by ~25%
Comments: While he is above average speed and has a 2HKO, it isn't much of a 2HKO and it costs him his own HP to use. No healing makes DFUp a less viable strategy. Lowish Middle.

Attack (Gigasword): 113
Spells:
Storm (100 HP): 144 ice magic damage to all enemies.
MGdown (50 HP): Grants a shield that deals 50% of magical damage received back to the attacker. Incoming damage is not reduced
MGWall (40 HP): Increases Magic Defense by 100, MT. Roughly equivalent to adding '85' to all element defenses. Very potent.
Freeze (24 HP): 70% chance of inflicting Freeze status (magic paralyze)
LStorm (120 HP): 123 physical damage to all. Reduced by defense, not element res.
Daze (60 HP): 70% Chance of confusion
BoltS (18 HP): 74 lightning damage to one
BoltA (40 HP): 54 lightning damage to all
Dfup (55 HP): Increases defense by ~25%
Comments: Gramps here does a good job. Fullheals, defensive buffing, MGdown to screw over attacking mages, Freeze, damage is decent... Makes for a Middle/Heavy. He'd have been good if he had been fast.

Belt: Flame Thrower (+100 Atk, casts FireA)
Attack (Stout Legs): 122 damage
Attack (Energy Draw): 82 damage, heals Nails for 41.
Attack (Missile): 76 MT damage.
Comments: Meet the reason why everyone else has bad HP. Perhaps this is a little unfair, because Nails is actually incapable of healing outside of his piddly Energy Draw (you need to re-recruit him to refill his HP). So when you recruit him he has 3000 HP, but in general has less by the time you get through a dungeon... And of course is worthless in a boss fight because he can't be healed. Regardless, very durable, somewhat fast, rather damaging. High Middle. Just a normal Middle if you halve his HP as penalty for not being healable.

Comments: Fast with decent damage, full healing, and Freeze too. DFDown turns his 'decent' damage into 'awesome'. High Middle.

STRup (70 HP): Increases attack power (hidden stat!) by 20%. Damage boost listed.
Wall (70 HP): Raises party Physical Defense by 40.
Dfup (55 HP): Increases defense by ~25%
Comments: Hawk has decent speed, full healing, buffing, confuse status (the itemcast Freeze isn't backed up by any Sphere Spirit, so it is worse than the spell)... And yet for all those Spirits he lacks the ability to put out decent damage. At least he can try with Strength Up -> Kick. Otherwise he's left with below average damage. He still has plenty of healing and speed so he yet works in Middle.
