layered txt! that was great

well in text it will be much smaller at least and still load fast

BL, Str, Sor, Com, Def, Aur, Spd, WM in no particular order. I've been putting off doing the equations for at least two years.

And every time I try to do them, I make a completely different equation. So I have at least five different versions of the same battle system, with each one being the 'Final Version'...

Battle Life (the HP), Strength, Sorcery, Command (for controlling beasts like dragons), Aura (magic defense), Speed, Weapon Mastery (total skill with weapons)
I also had things like Endurance, Evasiveness, Accuracy in there in some versions, but Acc is more of an attack-specific stat I'd say.

Here is my suggestion for the battle equation:

Each creature (including you) needs to achieve a certain number of "speed points" in order to perform an action. How fast the creatures accumulate points is up to their speed, meaning, if a creature has tons of speed, it can accumulate points way faster than a slower creature and therefore perform more actions than the slower creature.

For Accumulating Points:
Speed/[1+(Enemy Command/100)-(Command/100)] -> Total Points Accumulated in one "turn"

Notes: If somehow the denominator is not positive, then:
Speed[1+(Command/100)] -> Total points accumulated in one "turn"

For normal attacks:
Strength[1+(WM/100)+(Command/100)+Weapon Power] -> Total Damage
Speed*2[(WM/100)+(Command/100)+Armor Power] -> Total Defense
Battle Life-(Total Damage-Total Defense) -> Current Battle Life

Notes: You can change all the (/100)'s into (/any number): I just put /100 because most games allow you to have really high stats. Weapon Power is how good your weapon is and Armor Power is how good your armor is.
Current Battle Life cannot be greater than Battle Life

For Magical Attacks:
Sorcery[1+(Command/100)+Spell Power]+Extra Mana Sacrificed -> Total Damage
Aura*2[(Speed/100)+(Command/100)+Armor's Magic Resistance(can be negative] -> Total Defense
Battle Life-(Total Damage-Total Defense) -> Current Battle Life

Notes: Again, you can change the (/100)'s. Spell Power is how strong the spell is, armor's magic resistance is how magic resistant your armor is, and you can choose if you wish to add the "Extra Mana Sacrificed" option so the creature can spend extra mana on the spell to make it stronger (but not a lot stronger).
Again, Current Battle Life cannot be greater than Battle Life

Running away depends on:
[(Your speed/100)+(Your command/100)-(Enemy Command/100)-(Enemy speed/100)]% chance. You can increase or decrease the odds at your will.

This was just an engine I thought up right now, so it isnt the best of engines. You may also have ideas you may want to add to it, for this engine is only a skeleton. It's up to you !

0_0 That's a nice big bit of text, but I get it.
I definitely have to play around with those equations, thanks!
