Hmm... Before I help you with the basic balance issues you want help with, I'm going to throw out an idea you're not quite ready to use just because I think it's cool.

Idea: Give the doctor the "prescription" ability, which allows any character to get a better use out of one particular item if they use it on themselves.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, here's the actual thing you wanted to hear.

Therapist: Give them more "heal status effect" and "cause status effect" moves, both helpful and harmful. They should have lower or more costly "heal hp" moves and more effective "heal status" moves, and some "cause status" wouldn't hurt.

Angel: Maybe give it the highest attack stat of all the healer types or something? Perhaps give it more attack spells (holy) and change it so instead of a redmage, we have a specialist: mostly cleric with subclasses healer and doctor and relatively high stats/stat growth.
Dr. Wiley has surrendered. Mega Man has saved the planet from destruction. But will it last!!!

I think we all consider the Angel a combat medic?

Ah, I may have forgotten to mention that the therapist also does a few stat increasing stuff, making use of the items. That is to say, stuff like increasing the attack, defense or whatever of a player... Perhaps I'll add abilities that do the opposite, and are used on the enemies in an effort to make it more useful.

I do like the idea of the Angel class having the best attacking stuff. It actually works way better, really.

Instead, I'll shift the MP recovery thing to the Saint. Maybe give it a regen/barrier move or two.


Does that balance things out more?

"Mr.Wright how can you possibly prove that the DS is better than the PSP?"

TAKE THAT!


Stupid judge...didn't even flinch when I showed him the statistics


-----------------Edit friendly line

I would say the best thing to do is develop a combat scenario or something small to test each class, and have multiple people test it out a few times and see what classes they end up sticking with. If they all stick with the same one or two...maybe make tone something up or down

Yeah, it looks like the only way to balance this is to have people test the system. Otherwise, one of the classes is always going to end up either dominant or dominated.

And this is only the one character. Jesus, the other seven will be killer.

Especially Ray. He has an entirely different system than anyone else.

...You know, once you get use to the heavy usage of the stylus Magical Starsign is pretty fun.

From what I remember from reading the website about it, he's some sort of fighter...

I should read that again.

Well, if he's established white wixard types, and red wizard types, it only makes sense that there would be black wizard types as well, that really just leaves one type left.

Be careful about mp regen/cure moves. They can be really imbalancing really fast.

Actually, Rays classes are dependant upon his weapon. Depending on the weapon, his skillset entirely changes, and his stat growth per level slightly alters too. For instance, with a sword, he's fairly rounded. But with an axe, he has higher strength but less mobile.

There are no blue mages here. The other seven characters roughly approx to the following.

Black Mage (The different classes use different elementals or combination of elementals)

Knight (Some of the classes here allow for white mage type spells, others allow for things more along the lines of a Weaponmasters sword skills)

Thief (Steals money from the enemies. Some of the classes provide different effects alongside this, or are dependant on different statlines)

Performer (You're familiar, no doubt, with the standard Dancer, Bard and Actor classes, right? And what those can do? There you go then)

Martial Artist (Unarmed combatant)

Psychic (There are all sorts of different types of psychic abilities out there. Use your imagination on how they might work)

I think that's all of them... I've not thought too deeply about them yet, as they appear later on.

Feh. The RPG Makes comes with some good stuff. I might change it later, but that's not such a big concern at this stage.
