STATISTIC INFO

Here at Digimon Exodus, we use an easy to follow stat system for combat. This makes it easier to judge fights for both players and staff, and ultimately creates an environment where combat and battle is presented in a fair and decided matter. While numbers may seem daunting, we assure you that you will have a full understanding of the system in place after reading this thread.

If ever in a bind - feel free to ask a member of the staff team for help, or bring up this thread again to re-review it.

First, before getting into the finer details, each statistic used on Digimon Exodus will be explained below.

HEALTH - HP

Health is how many points of damage your Digimon can take before they dedigivolve and become unable to battle any longer. If a Digimon reaches 0 HP or lower, they are considered too damaged or injured to continue fighting. They will often return to their Rookie form or lower during this occurrence. Health is ultimately factored by DEFENSIVE x 10.

ACTION POINTS - AP

Action Points are how many actions your human or Digimon can perform each post. Any sort of action counts towards these points in battle, including card swipes (1 AP per card swipe), basic attacks, special attacks, dodge attempts, using items, and attempting to run away. To make things easier on the members and staff of Exodus, each and every action costs the same - one AP. Every 5 points of AGT grants +1 AP, where you get 1 AP at 1 AGT. Humans and Digimon and Twin Digimon do not share AP, each having separate pools.

ex. 5 AGT = 2 AP, 10 AGT = 3 AP, 15 AGT = 4 AP, and so on.

OFFENSIVE - OFF

Offensive is your Digimon or human's physical strength. It determines how much damage each of their basic attacks do (each basic attack doing their OFF in damage) and how strong and fit their bodies are. Additionally, OFF + a physical ability's damage determines the final damage output of a physical ability.

DEFENSIVE - DEF

Defensive is your Digimon or human's defensive capabilities. It determines how much damage they can take before going down, and how healthy their body is. In addition to being a prime factor in Health, the attacker's final damage - the defender's DEF equates to the damage taken by the defender.

ex: Guilmon used PYRO SPHERE (12 final damage) against Gizamon (6 DEF), so Gizamon would lose 6 HP from taking the attack.

AGILITY - AGT

Agility is your Digimon's or human's maneuverability and how agile they are. Though AGT measures how quick a character is, it does not directly effect dodge rate, which is instead factored through creativity and role-play. It is a major and the only factor in maximum Action Points.

AGT does, however, effect running away while in combat. If the character escaping has a lower AGT than the one attacking them, then the escape takes an extra turn, and the attacker receives a free attack. If the character escaping has the higher AGT, then they can escape as normal.

SPECIAL - SPC

Special is an individual's magical or arcane power, directly effecting their unique abilities. Humans outside of Spirit Wielders do not have access to the Special statistic, being unable to conjure magic or elements of any sort. For special attacks, the final damage output is determined by SPC + the attack's damage.

DAMAGE

Damage is dealt in three different ways here in Digimon: Exodus. Each of these types will be explained below.

PHYSICAL

Physical damage is the most common type of damage. It uses the OFFENSIVE skill when figuring damage, and additionally is usually the type of damage basic attacks deal. A physical ability uses the character's OFF + the ability's damage to figure out an attack's final damage. Basic attacks are simply the character's OFF in power.

ex. A Nanimon using a physical ability that does 20 damage while he has 15 points in OFFENSIVE would deal 35 damage.

Meanwhile, his basic attacks would deal 15 damage.

To figure out the damage that attack would deal on a target, you would then subtract their DEFENSIVE from that final damage. If the number comes out negative, then the attack will still deal 1 damage.

ex. Nanimon's physical ability makes contact with a Tyrannomon with 15 DEFENSIVE. In the end, his attack deals 10 damage to the Tyrannomon.

SPECIAL

Special damage is the second most common type of damage. It uses the SPECIAL skill, as one would expect, when figuring damage. A special ability uses the character's SPC + the ability's damage to figure out an attack's final damage. Most status effect damage is usually considered special damage as well, though, that is a special case in itself.

ex. A Guilmon using Pyro Sphere that does 10 damage while he has 10 SPC would deal 20 damage.

Special damage also has the defender's DEFENSIVE subtracted from it when calculating damage dealt, operating like physical damage.

STATUS EFFECT

Status effect damage is simply damage dealt by status effects. This damage, however, always ignores a target's DEFENSIVE when calculating damage dealt. A list of status effects uses on the site can be found in the second post of this thread.

DAMAGE AND BUFF LIMITS

Attacks at a certain stage have a limit to the amount of power they can output. Attacks closer to this limit should have a higher cooldown than ones further away from it. The attack limits are listed below.

○ Fresh: 2
○ In-Training: 4
○ Rookie: 15
○ A. Champion: 20
○ Champion: 25
○ A. Ultimate: 30
○ Ultimate: 40
○ Mega: 65
○ Ultra: 80

NB: This only applies to an attack's damage, not the attack's final damage with OFF/SPC added in.

Additionally, a single ability can only buff or debuff an enemy or ally by so much, which is also listed below.

○ Fresh: +/-2
○ In-Training: +/-4
○ Rookie: +/-10
○ A. Champion: +/-15
○ Champion: +/-20
○ A. Ultimate: +/-25
○ Ultimate: +/-30
○ Mega: +/-35
○ Ultra: +/-40

DIGIVOLVING

Digivolving is a special function in Digimon that allows them to power up to a level beyond what they were before to reach new heights and power. Digivolving uses up all of the Digimon or Spirit Wielder's AP for that turn, requiring a vast amount of energy.

Additionally, when Digivolving, one does not restore HP completely. Upon reaching a new form when damaged, you take out your previous form's max HP subtracted by their current HP and then take that out of your new form's HP.

ex. Palmon (80/100 HP) digivolved to Togemon (280/300 HP).

DIGIMON STATISTICS

Digimon statistics are decided by the player at character creation or during character edits. Once you have set your Digimon's statistics, you cannot change them, unless you are planning on changing the form entirely. Each stage has a set pool of points to distribute among OFFENSIVE, DEFENSIVE, AGILITY, and SPECIAL. HEALTH and ACTION POINTS are figured from DEFENSIVE and AGILITY, respectively. The pools are given below.

○ Fresh: 5
○ In-Training: 8
○ Rookie: 25
○ A. Champion: 40
○ Champion: 45
○ A. Ultimate: 65
○ Ultimate: 70
○ Mega: 125
○ Ultra: 150

Additionally, each level has a cap on how high a particular statistic (not including buffs) can go. These are as follows:

○ Fresh: 2
○ In-Training: 4
○ Rookie: 10
○ A. Champion: 15
○ Champion: 20
○ A. Ultimate: 35
○ Ultimate: 40
○ Mega: 55
○ Ultra: 70

NB: Plot bosses, mini-bosses, and NPCs will not abide by these pools or caps.

HUMAN STATISTICS

A human tamer or human spirit wielder's statistics are figured out slightly differently than Digimon. Because the human race is vast and constantly evolving, no human is identical, and they do not have set statistic pools. Instead, much like crests, a human's statistics are rolled by staff based on a character's height, weight, personality, history, skills, flaws, and age.

Q: Can a stat be below 0?
A: No, all stats must at least have 1 point, and cannot be debuffed below 0.

STATUS EFFECTS

Status effects are special effects that cause an aliment to an enemy or allied Digimon. Here on Digimon: Exodus, we have listed all of the effects available for use in RP, and exactly what they are capable of doing. Most allow a bit of flexibility in effect, but should be kept close to what is written here. Effects can be suggested by private messaging NYMPH or Horror Bull.

---

Freeze - Freezes opponent in place for a duration, similar to a stun. Can be broken with a FIRE ELEMENTAL attack.

Chill - Chills the opponent, slowing their movement and causing shivering, as well as decreasing an amount of OFF for a duration.

Blind - Blinds the opponent, lowering their accuracy and causing them to miss attacks.

Bleed - Causes the opponent to bleed and drip blood. Similar to poison in effect, as the target loses health every turn until the wound is healed or mended.

Burn - Burns the opponent, dealing additional damage a turn after initial damage has been inflicted. Also causes the opponent to become weak to fire for the duration.

Poison - Poisons the opponent, dealing additional damage every turn for a duration.

Sickness - Causes the opponent to fall ill, decreasing their DEF by an amount.

Cursed - Curses the opponent, decreasing one or two stats by an amount for a duration.

Fear - Causes the opponent to shake with fear, decreasing OFF and/or AGT.

Stun - Stuns the opponent, preventing all action for a duration.

Root - Roots the opponent in place, preventing movement or dodge attempts for a duration.

Sleep - Puts the opponent to sleep for a duration, though the target can be woken up if they're hit hard enough.

Berserk - Sends the opponent into a frenzied state, causing them to attack anything and everything along with buffing their stats by an amount for a duration.

Electrified - Opponent becomes electrified. Attacking them causes both the attacker and defender to take an amount of thunder damage. If the defender is thunder type, they take no damage.

Dizzy - Opponent becomes dizzy, causing moves to become far less accurate for a duration.

Charm - Opponent becomes charmed, becoming distracted by the target they were charmed by and dealing decreased damage to them for a duration.

Silence - Opponent becomes silenced, preventing abilities from being used for a duration.

Taunt - Opponent is taunted, preventing opponents from using any non-damaging actions for a duration.

Gore - Opponent loses a limb or is inflicted by a heavy wound. Hinders conflict by fully disabling that limb until de-digivolution.

ELEMENTS

Here at Digimon Exodus, we use an elemental typing system similar to the one used in Digimon: Cyber Sleuth. Each active attack is assigned an elemental affinity, while each Digimon, Spirit Wielder, and humans will be assigned an elemental type. Digimon types vary greatly - and can change depending on form, but Spirit Wielder elements are defined by their primary spirit type, and humans, outside of special cases, fall into the neutral element.

Elements have weaknesses and resistances based on the below cycle. Having a resistance to an element causes all attacks of that element to deal 50% less damage (rounded up), while attacks that a character has a weakness to will deal 50% more damage (rounded up).

FIRE >> ICE
ICE >> WOOD
WOOD >> WATER
WATER >> FIRE

THUNDER >> WIND
WIND >> EARTH
EARTH >> METAL
METAL >> THUNDER

DARKNESS >> LIGHT
LIGHT >> DARKNESS
DARKNESS resists DARKNESS
LIGHT resists LIGHT

NEUTRAL

---

Q: Can I give my Digimon a dual-typing?
A: At the current moment - no. Attacks and types are both only a single element. However, some cards inflict multi-element damage, and an effect can be written to give an attack a multi-type.

Q: Explain neutral?
A: Neutral has no resistances or weaknesses. It is essentially the site's "normal" type.

Q: Is it possible for my tamer to gain an element?
A: Certain items, marks, and effects that can be gained through role-play do have the potential to change your human tamer's element. However, all will start with neutral.
