How combat will work:

A battle begins with the opponent(s) appearing (No more than four enemies at one time, although while guest characters are with us, there may be more than that) I will then display your HP bars as a series of ten dashes-each dash equals 10 HP, so you start with 100 HP at Level 1.

Brock will next analyze your foe using his Song of Seeing so you can plan a strategy, and sing the appropriate buff (Fight Song for physical opponents, Mystic Melody for magical opponents)

When you make an attack, post what you do (attack, use a skill, etc), then I will generate a random number from 1 to 100 to determine how successful you are--anything above 50 is a hit, and anything above 75 is a critical hit. You can also critically fail as well.

After all four of you make your move, the enemy will attack--they too can critically succeed and critically fail. If you are at 50% HP or below, you are in Danger. If you are at 25% or below, you are in Peril.

This keeps going until one side merges victorious--if you win, you get gold, experience, and treasure. But should the party ever be wiped, you will respawn in the closest safe location.

Leveling is fixed, like Paper Mario, so 100 XP is always the amount you need to level. When you do level, you will have the option of learning at least one new ability on a new tier, or one unlearned ability on the previous tier(s).
