Affinity

• Race: One of 0, Undead, Dragon, Medusa, Giant
  • Determines physical resistance and physical attack type for enemies.
  • Examples:
    • A Skeleton of the Undead race only takes full physical damage from anti-Undead weapons.
    • Red Dragons only take full damage from anti-Dragon weapons like the Dragon Blade.
    • Wearing an anti-Undead amulet (Mithril Shield/Gauntlet), that character will resist physicals from Undead enemies.
    • In the same vein, the Moon Gauntlet will resist damage from giants like Cyclops.
  • There is a Boss race, used to prevent instant death and escape. The Boss race does not resist damage, though.
• Attribute: One of Man, Wind, Earth, Water, Fire
  • Also known as their "element".
  • "Man" is neutral; otherwise Wind (yellow) beats Earth (green) beats Water (blue) beats Fire (red) beats Wind.
  • Each attribute slightly resists itself.
  • Opposite attributes (Wind<->Water, Earth<->Fire) take neutral damage.
  • "Man" slightly resists all attributes.
  • Caution: Elemental weapons (Ice Blade) and armor (Mithril Mail) override Change Attribute spells. Someone equipped with these are stuck dealing Water damage, or taking damage as a Wind attribute respectively.

Stats

• Level: Max level is 60.
  • Enemy LVL determines the success rate of escaping from battle.
    1. The game finds the difference of highest LVL of the party and the enemy party.
    2. (PartyLVL - EnemyLVL) = D
       • 1/8 run chance if D is negative
       • 1/4 run chance if D is 0-7
       • 1/2 run chance if D is 8-14
       • 3/4 run chance if D is 15+
    • Example: The party's highest LVL is 43, and the enemy's highest LVL is 25. The difference 43-25=18, so the run chance is 3/4.
