It could be closer to certain TV/anime shows, though. When casting spells or the like, characters felt weaker afterward. And eventually they would even become wasted. In some other games you have Stamina too, when using more powerful attacks it takes longer before you can do any other action afterward

That looks like a good idea. One thing I'd like to add: when you're hit, stamina should be reduced a little too, in my opinion.

I like the stamina idea. It looks like I'll have a stamina bar somewhere. ;D

I think it will fall on the right side of the screen.   Once I add this and implement everything else in battle except for animations, I'll show a screenie.

Alright, here's the stamina bar.  The screenie shows it at 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% and 0% full.  What do you think?
(Remember that there will be the rest of the battle on the screen, but not in this screenie. :) )

I like this idea, but you'd lose a lot of stamina over time.
How do you think you should get stamina back if you lose it by being damaged? (I don't want the solution to be "Use an item" :) )

Note: I'll be using Stamina as MP, and not as a speed changing thing on powerful moves.

In Ys II, when you stopped moving, in certain dungeons, your HP gradually refilled. I think Quest 64 did that too. However it was with HP. Just do it with stamina instead maybe?

In Starcraft, IIRC Protoss shields recharges by 1 point every second and Zerg building energy same thing.

I think instead of filling stamina when not moving, wouldn't it be better to fill it up when moving? Since this is RPG and not action-based, players can definitely take advantage of that and leave the calc for 5 min or so, and come back with full stamina to play.

So you mean like Rogue? Then, there should be a command to 'stand still'.

I like that.  I may make it so you regain .5 or so stamina per tile you walk.

oh yeah true about that, unless he decided to have encounters so you have to touch enemies moving around (and appearing) on the map like in Zelda II on the NES

I had code for that, but decided that I liked it with partners and at twice the speed better. ;D

The way Chrono Cross (2nd best game ever!) handles its stamina system sounds like it might fit the bill here:
Quote from: Wikipedia
Another innovative aspect of Chrono Cross is its stamina bar. At the beginning of a battle, each character has seven points of stamina. When a character attacks or uses an Element, stamina is decreased proportionally to the potency of the attack. Stamina slowly recovers when the character defends or when other characters and enemies perform actions in battle. Characters with stamina below one point must wait to take action. Use of an Element reduces the user's stamina bar by seven stamina points; this often means that the user's stamina gauge falls into the negative and the character must wait longer than usual to recover

(I've always wanted to see a game with a similar battle system to Chrono Cross, so I would consider it a uh... personal favor if you did ::))
