Weather and Fights
Simple. Have you guys gone to Mt. Zinit? If yes, you guys noticed that there are lightning effects in the boat fight, simulating the bad weather. It would be just awesome if such features were implemented to normal fights, with lower probability (not every turn). In order to have that, there should be more than just cloudy and rainy weathers.
*Low Probability: 5% chance of occurring in the beginning of a turn.
**Medium Probability: 25% chance of occurring in the beginning of a turn.
***High Probability: 50% chance of occurring in the beginning of a turn.
Lightning Damage:
It is possible to see the shadows of an upcoming lightning. They'll strike in the end of the turn, doing damage based in the HP of the target. There are two types of lightning effects.
Weather: stormy***, cloudy**, rainy*.
Puddles:
Water pools will appear in the start of a turn and last until the end of the fight. Walking over it will result in lowered fire damage plus MP loss of 2. They cover 1 square.
Weather: rainy*, stormy**.
Snowball:
Snowballs may appear in the start of a turn and from then an on it gets bigger every turn. If hit in close combat, the snowball will roll doing damage to all targets on the way. They cover 1 square. Damage is based on chance.
Weather: snowy*
Gusts will strike players during Windy Days, they have the ability to push players. They may come from any direction pushing all players 1 square.
Weather: windy**
Tornado:
Tornadoes are very rare, but tend to cause extremely mess when they form. They will pull players and reduce their MP, eventually keeping them locked in the zone for a few turns. They last 2 turns before disappearing. The main problem is that they suddenly appear in the start of a turn.
Weather: windy*, stormy*
Fire:
Low chance of happening but extremely dangerous. Fires will cover only one square, but become bigger in the start of every turn and cover more squares. The damage is based on the temperature of the weather. I'm not going to calculate anything, but walking over it should do between 20 and 100 fire damage.
Weather: stormy*, sunny*
That's it. There are lots of other possibilities, I believe I've introduced the basic ideas. The good point of having this feature is that it will improve the tactical fighting.
