I'm liking these suggestions... I think we should keep it to existing abilities... then adjust the power or other small edits in the code manually, because i don't want to mess with any enemies that use the abilities.
Here's the list as I'm seeing it so far...
Terra: Goner
Locke: i cant find a good drain that isn't a spell or another character's ability, but maybe Love Token? (in reference to stealing life force and a tribute to Rachel?)
Cyan: Hyperdrive (maybe i can make it AoE or x4 hits)
Shadow: maybe Disaster with some attack power added? (based on Lockirby's idea, only no buffs)
Edgar: Launcher
Sabin: Blizzard Fist isn't a real ability, but i can use Blizzard and make it physical.
Celes: Shock
Strago: Flare Star
Relm: Mind Blast (with some added magic power, thematically appropriate with her skills and as Shadow's daughter)
Setzer: Atomic Ray (but AoE or 4x) or Wave Cannon? (im thinking along the lines of an Airship Air Strike)
Mog: S. Cross (geomancer-ish fire elemental) or even Scar Beam (holy elemental)
Gogo: Meteo
How does this sound so far? I think I'm going to skip Gau and Umaro... too much extra work to add and they will basically never get used.
Also lets talk algorithm... I'm really leaning away from doing the limit thing... im thinking a base 1/16 chance then modify it based on statuses and conditions up to maybe 1/4 normally or even as a bell curve... like each item we check has an independent 1/16 (6.25%) chance... so hypothetically if we have 3 things that would increase it happening we'd get (1-(15/16))^4 (standard chance + 3 more chances) = ~22.75% chance of it triggering, then have critical health be an immediate 50% check. so keeping a character near fatal would trigger plenty of attacks and we would get them occasionally with good conditions outside of near fatal....
Anything in this post can change... so feel free to disagree with anything ive talked about. And if anyone whos mechanically-minded wants to put some more thought into the algorithm id welcome the help!
Thanks for the input! Keep it up!
