Special Damage
Version 1.0

<Version 1.0> 2011.8.30 - Original Release

Allows weapons to deal more or less damage depending on the enemy, without
interfering with the elements. This is useful for making weaknesses.

Due to how the element system works, weapons/skills that have multiple elements,
the element with the highest damage is chosen, which may has his disadvantages.

Example:

Werewolf
Weakness: Slash, Silver

Knight
Resistant: Slash
Neutral: Silver

Warlord
Resistant: Slash
Immune: Silver

Following this example, a Silver Sword (Slash + Silver) would do extra damage to
the werewolf, but neutral damage to the Knight, despite his Slash resistance.
The warlord, would take the lowered damage due to his resistance to slash and
immunity to silver.

Now lets say you have a Silver Ray dealing only Silver damage.
It would do extra damage to the Werewolf, neutral to knight and no damage to
warlord.

Now lets say you want both the Silver Sword to deal extra damage
to Werewolf and reduced damage to the Knight and Warlord, while the Silver Ray
deals neutral damage to the Knight and the Warlord. You would need to play
around with the elements to achieve that.
With this script, this is much easier.

For items/skills.
<special: id dmg>
ID - The damage type identifier.
Dmg - The damage modifier. 100 = No change.

For enemies
<special: id>
ID - The damage type modifier. If it matches the actor weapon/skill/item, the
enemy's damage will be modified.

Example:
Holy Water - <special: 1 200>
Demon - <special: 1>

The demon takes 200% (double) damage from the Holy Water.

Use the <special> tag on a skill or item to inherit the from weapons.

Author's Notes

Nothing to say for now.

Restrictions

For commercial use, contact me first. You can use this script how you want as long as you credit.

If I'm right, you can set weapons to deal more or less damage then they should to specified enemies?

Yes. Thats right.

Useful for enemy weakness like holy water against demons or silver weapons against werewolves without having to mess up around with elements.

That's awesome.
