On to advanced combat! If one of the subjects that you'd like discussed isn't here, then

SECTION 1:MULTI-PERSON COMBAT
Multi-person combat is similar to one-person combat, with a few minor exceptions. When
you have multiple, each of them takes a turn before you go back to the first character. Then
each monster attacks in succession, until each monster has taken one turn, then it goes back to
your unit for more whuppin'.
EXAMPLE
Character 1 attacks
Character 2 attacks
Character 3 attacks
Character 4 attacks
Monster 1 attacks
Monster 2 attacks
Monster 3 attacks
Monster 4 attacks
Monster 5 attacks
Character 1 attacks
And so on. If you have a multi-unit leader, you can merge units to form one giant one
with 8, 12, 16, or even more characters. With a unit of 20 characters, most enemies don't stand
a chance against you. With one multi-unit leader, and 19 Assassins, very few enemies will
survive long enough to attack.
SECTION 2:CLASS-EXCLUSIVE ATTACKS
The next chunk we get to is class-exclusive attacking skills, like The Squirzi Arts or
Explosives. Each skill is defined below, and tells what other cool stuff you can do with it.
The Squirzi Arts:Allows you to do large amounts of ranged unarmed damage, a 2x multiplier
to your total leg strength(Leg Strength + primary Strength). This is quite exciting if you're
a Squirzi Trainee with lots of strength-you can do up to 200 damage to an enemy up to 4 squares
away. An amazing skill, if you're a Squirzi. This same skill will also bring you up to
50% of your total HP if you use the "Heal" ability out of combat. Just say heal, and
you or another member of your unit has his HP restored to half. If you have over half your
HPm however, you lose 50% of your total, and must rest 5 turns.
Sqirzi Masterdom:A souped-up version of The Squirzi Arts. This skill allows you to
attack from up to 8 squares away, and do 6x your strength. You also restore 75% of a character's
HP.
Multi-weapon use:The ability to equip one weapon in each hand, for double-damage. Treat
two weapons the same as you would one, just adding the damage from each. With ranged weapons,
you can also shoot two enemies at one time, only without adding the damage from each weapon
together. Instead, you treat it like you would any other attack, except it hits 2 enemies.
Munitions Use:The ability to use a stick of dynamite to either create a major distraction,
or wipe out the battlefield. Used for the former, it prevents all optional fights for a 10
square radius for the next 15 turns. Used for the latter, it wipes out all monsters on the
battlefield in a random attack, or does 300 damage to the monster you're attacking.
Space Manipulation:The ability to warp the battlefield, either bringin you or one
of your allies to anywhere on the battlefield, or creating cracks in the earth which either
totally destroy any enemies in a 3 square radius of the attack on a random attack,
or does 400 damage to a single enemy if it's a boss confrontation. You must rest
for 3 turns after using this skill.
Time Manipulation:The ability to freeze time for 5 turns, allowing your allies to
destroy the enemies with little fear of retaliation. You must rest for 10 turns after using
this skill, before trying again.
SECTION 3:HEALTH RESTORATION
Restoring health after battle can be done in one of three ways:
Visit an inn or military outpost, where you can sleep, and restore all your health
Use The Squirzi Arts on yourself or other party members, and restore 1/2 their health
Rest on the overworld or in a dungeon, and recover 10 HP per character for each turn you
rest
These are the only three ways to restore HP, at least until the expansion pack.
This wraps up most combat issues I can think of, at least for now.
