Ok so here's the situation. I am trying to make my game reasonably difficult, but not like Dark Souls or Ghosts N Goblins hard. So I created several weapons (like Rusty Sword and Rotting Staff) that have 1 ATK and nothing else added. My monster, 1 Goblin, has these stats:
Goblin
Max HP: 20
Max SP: 5
1 on everything except EVA
Now when I battle tested this scenario with a Rusty Sword, it never hit the monster, yet the monster still beat the crap out of me.
How can I make it where beginner weapons don't have 100 damage and the monsters can be low leveled and not killed in one blow?
