Intuitive Rolling Combat
If you look at this a say oh wow complicated, math is for school not CotH. Fear not, I am doing all the math now so you don't half too.
All you will have to do is make a few slash commands. In fact, if i can get things working right you wont even have to make a defense or damage rolls or even change your own HP or MP. Sweet right!
However, this is turning out to be a huge project and I would love some help from those that are interested. I am trying to get all the rules down first so I know where I am going with the code. Though, I should be posting at least my sudo code soon. So any real coders out there I could really use your help!
This is all subject to change and a true work in progress. I am still in the stage of trying new ideas, and balancing things out. Please all critiques are welcome.
7 Basic rolls
Melee Attack - Str + Agi + Weapon Speed =
Range Attack - Agi + Weapon Accuracy =
Magic Attack - Int =
Melee Defense - Agi + Perry + Armor =
Range Defense - Agi + Armor =
Magic Defense - Wis =
Heal - Con =
Special Rolls
Power - Double Damage
Hobble - They can't move for one round, cool down 2 rounds
Disarm / Silence - They can't make a range or melee attack / Magical attack for 1 round, cooldown 2 rounds
Damage Over Time - They get damage this round and the Next
Area of Effect - Attack more that one opponent in an area
The idea behind these is that they are meant to be vague so just about every spell you have should fall under one of these rolls. These Rolls will also cost Mana/Rage/Energy
They get 7 tokens to compose there stats with a max of 5 in any one stat. Each stat should add 5 you there respective rolls.
Strength - Effects your melee attack roll
Agility - Effects melee and range defense roll
Constitution - Effects your hp and heal roll
Wisdom - Effects your magical defense roll
Intelligence - Effects your magical attack roll

Wands?
Relics - +20 to Magical Attack?
I really need help with casters. The physical world is so much easier for me. Compared to every thing I have for physical attacks and defense, the magic seems so bland, which it shouldn't be. Please I would welcome any brain storms.
So on my way what do you think?
