HP Formulas & Damage; v2

Posted on by admin

ACTUAL HP FORMULA:

(Base HP X Tier Bonus (2+Tier)) + Level + Size Bonus (+3 to +12 per Tier) + Nature (6 x Tier) + 10 = Actual HP

DAMAGE FORMULA:

Attacking Stat + Damage Base + STAB(+3/tier) = Damage
(Damage – Defending Stat) / or * (Resistance (half/quarter) or Weakness (x1.5/2.0)) = Damage Taken

Damage Base Multiplier goes up by tier;
Tier 1 = x1.0; Tier 2 = x1.5; Tier 3 = x2; Tier 4 = x2.5

Damage Base number range is 1-25;
When adapting Moves from games, Damage Base is the move’s Power /10, rounded down

Combat Stages increase or decrease a stat by +3/Tier, caps at +4/-2? Cannot bring stat below 0.
