The battle system will remain the same. The only major thing I am changing is that all attacks are now classified as either physical, or magical. This is only relevant for armor. Warrior's armor will only affect physical attacks, while mages will get an armor against magical attacks. Armor can be bought by any class with loot in between fights in the real game. Some attacks will still ignore armor.
One other change is I will be requesting you all use a premade turn template to reduce confusion about your turn.
ClassesTake a look for the updated class stats. Archers have had a lot changed: damage got nerfed, range got more restrictive (there is now a minimum range). mages got armor against magical attacks
WarriorThe Warrior class has no ranged attacks, but deals massive damage. In addition, they have armor which lowers the damage of incoming attacks. They wreck archers if they can get in range, but mages counter them.
General Stats

These are the attacks available at level 1. At higher levels, a character can unlock new attacks to learn in between battles. I haven't completely figured these out yet.
