[Suggestion] Just give us Stats on our Equipped Skills.

[Cairdeas]

Hm. Interesting idea... I actually kind like the idea of being better at something with more actions of that nature set. The more offensive actions you set, the stronger you are, the more defensive actions you set, the more resilient you are. If the stats granted directly effect the action you're equipping, I'm all for it. I just don't want something like fire to give me +5 strength or something, if strength has nothing to do with the fire spell. But if fire increased intelligence, mind, and/or piety, I'm game.

That is how I see it.

Every skill in the game fits into one of a few categories.

Curative (Increases Health or removes ailments)
Defensive (Increases defense or grants an immunity to some negative action)
Offensive (Deals direct physical damage of some kind)
Elemental (Deals magic damage of some kind)
Enfeeling (Leaves a negative status on an enemy)

Atleast as far as I can tell they fit into those or a mix of them. So if you gave classes of stats to classes of skills it would be something like the following with Order of Importance.

Curative = Mind, Healing Effectiveness, Piety, Intellegence, HP, MP, Magic Defense
Defensive = Vitality, HP, Defense, Block, Parry, Piety, MP, Magic Defense
Offensive = Strength, Dexterity, Attack Power, Accuracy, Weapon Skill Damage, Evasion, HP
Elemental = Intellegence, Piety, MP, Elemental Effectiveness, Magic Defense, Evasion, HP
Enfeebling = MP, Piety, Intelligence, DoT/Status Effectiveness, Magic Defense, HP, Defense

Skills that are a Mix, Like say Red Lotus Blade (Offensive + Elemental) would get some from both so RLB might get +2 Str, +1 Fire Affinity, + 1 Evasion +5 MP.

They could just make it so that Cross-Class skills don't give stats. I like the idea overall much more than allocating stat points.

What I'd like to see with this idea is:
Keep the Physical Levels, have them determine your stats, automatically allocated (this would be like, roughly averaging all stats no min/maxing)
Then have abilities give additional stats. So without any abilities your primary stat may be like 92 but when you equip abilities and have 130 or 150 or whatever depending on which abilities you use.

(I kind of like the idea of physical levels just not their implementation).

Cross Class Skills should at least give half the stats of Main Class Skills.

As usual Cairdeas, I love your ideas.

When we heard of the Armoury System, the possibilities of what it could have been raged on. But what we actually got.

You wouldn't happen to have an existing depot for your thoughts on this would you?
