about skill damage calculations

[Skwerl]

Well im not sure all the formulas in this game yet, so dont quote me on anything. but that 80 is additional damage included.

here is my knowledge of damage in rpg games

Weapon Damage = WD
Additional Damage= AD
Defense = DEF
Total Damage= TD
so with that

WD + AD - DEF = TD

now the formulas is where it gets tricky, sometimes defense is worth double, sometimes half. it depends on what the game makers find to be fair for all...

so 50 WD + 100 AD - 75 DEF = 75 TD

now if you want to REALLY know what damage you can do, go try hitting lvl 1 creatures. that should give you the minimum DEF you can find, and thus get your highest TD

EDIT: also add bash in there, your right about the bash, thing just add that in like so WD+AD+BASH-DEF=TD
as for bash might be magical (does it use SP?) and it might be its OWN little attack, something like this...
Normal attack = WD+AD-DEF=TD
BASH Attack = WD+BASH-DEF=TD

not sure sorry for the incomplete answers. hope some one else gives you a more indepth response
