Breath of Fire 2

[Dhyerwolf]

1. Differences from the Last Topic
-->Shaman Stats: I did partially factor in Shaman stats, as I thought that they better overall reflect in game. Note that what I did include was relatively minimal (averages out to 10% approximately, so a far cry from the approximate 40% boosts they are getting from their best transformations) and factors in how effectively a character can use Shamans (for example, Spar can use the most combos very effectively and has the most stats included).
-->A few equips dropped (more on that later)
-->Defenses tested
-->The other topic has extremely low enemy defense

2. Level and Experience
Ryu is taken at 1,000,000 EXP to match Meeple's old topic (I finished at 900,000ish, but the difference is a single level). Everyone else fluctuates slightly based on their joining time. Deis is taken upon gaining the Great Bird (200,000 EXP for Ryu) although could be taken earlier. Most of the levels are the same as the old topic

3. Stats
Offense- Do more physical damage...in theory. The BoF 2 physical formula is questionable in that some multiplier get significantly worse with more offense.
Defense- Take less physical damage. As noted, the formulas are kind of wonky, so stacking a lot of defense doesn't always mean much. I suspect that like PCs, when enemy offense is too much higher than PC defense, it gets hits with a low extra mult to keep in check.
(I think that when Enemy Att- PC Def is between 100 and 200, the formula is (E. Att-Pc. Def)*0.75 +20. When it is above 200, the formula uses 0.6 instead. There is a base floor of about 20 damage when enemies are attacking.
Wisdom- Affects Magic Crit Rate (Believe that Wisdom/510 is the crit rate. Magic Criticals are 50% more damage). I am working under the assumption that it effects status hit rate, although I'm not 100% sure it does.
Vigor- Speed. Relatively little random variance
Luck- Determine some level of physical damage (There are 4 physical damage tiers; higher luck takes you to a higher damage tier, although the effect isn't great. For example, Ryu is listed as tier 2; this means that all his physical average being on tier 2 of the 4)
Guts- Determine rate of random auto-revival (Restores 12.5% HP; preserves actions that turn?)

B. Cond- Assumed “Super” for this topic, it probably has an effect on a bunch of internal things (crit rate? Counter rate? Evasion?) that are hard to test
Evade- All character evade seems to be 10%-20% for monsters I tested on. For relative scaling, this basically means none of them have any evade that matters
Counters- Triggered against basic physical where the hit connects (not on evaded hits; Ryu and Katt Only)
Criticals- Seem to be innate to characters (and maybe dependent on B. Cond); Double Damage

4. Criticals
Physical criticals are 2x damage. Magic criticals are 1.5x damage

5. Drops
There are a few items from Meeple's topic that I did not allow. The big ones are Katt's MeowST and Katt/Rand's MammothCL. These are 1/64 drops (and the second item isn't even unique)

6. Statuses
Curse- Luck to minimum
Death
Paralysis- Idle; Only used by PCs (B. Siron calls this sleep, but given that no enemy has this, and it works differently than sleep on PCs and has a different animation, I'd say these aren't the same)
Rotting- Evil version of Confuse (but also Zombie)
Sleep- Enemy Side Usage Only
Silence- When used by PCs, has a chance to wear off every round

PCs can block Curse, Rotting or Sleep with a storebought accessory

7. Itemcasts- If an item is in the inventory, anyone can itemcast off it. An equipped item can only be used to cast by the equipping PC. For storebought non-uniques (like Medusa Shield), I would not allow the itemcasts. For unique items, I am allowing (Since only one person can equip the one copy, they have a uniqueness)

8. Enemy Stats Used
Defense: 140
Magic Susceptability for Damage: -1
Magic Susceptability for Status: 0 (Because that -1 includes magically status immune -3. Without those, the average is close to 0)

Physicals can hit 4 tiers of damage. For more explanation, see the awesome semi BMG for BoF 2: http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/563530-breath-of-fire-ii/faqs/5436.

These tiers are effected by luck, but there is not a lot of effect. Jean averages hitting between tiers 2 and 3 approximately on average (there's a wide fluctuation). Here again is the effect tierwise.
