ABI_AttackDamageType v5 

One of the systems I've been working on behind the scenes is a complete overhaul of my custom Attack Damage Type plugin for RPG Maker MZ.

What started as a simple way to let weapons damage MP instead of HP evolved into a much more flexible combat system after several rounds of testing and debugging.

What's New

Version 5 now allows weapons to:

• Damage HP, MP, or both with normal attacks.
• Restore HP, MP, or both independently of the damage type.
• Create traditional life-steal and mana-steal weapons.
• Create weapons that convert MP damage into HP healing (and vice versa).
• Scale restoration by a percentage of the actual damage dealt.
• Support dual-wielding while using the highest applicable recovery percentages.
• Calculate recovery using the actual damage inflicted rather than the theoretical damage value, producing more consistent results.

Why This Matters

This gives me far more freedom when designing weapons.

Instead of every sword simply dealing more damage than the last, weapons can now have unique identities and playstyles.

For example:

• A blade that drains an enemy's MP while restoring your HP.
• A cursed weapon that sacrifices your MP to inflict devastating HP damage.
• Hybrid weapons that strike both HP and MP simultaneously.
• Mana-draining weapons designed specifically for enemy spellcasters.
• Defensive weapons that trade raw damage for sustained survivability.

The goal is to make equipment choices feel meaningful rather than simply equipping whichever weapon has the highest attack stat.

Looking Ahead

The plugin is still undergoing testing, but it's reached a point where I'm very happy with the direction it's taken.

As development continues, systems like this will help make A Demon Hunter's Guide to Passing Finals feel more strategic by giving players more interesting ways to approach combat instead of relying solely on larger numbers.

As always, thank you for following the development journey. Every bit of feedback and encouragement helps keep the project moving forward.

More updates are coming soon!
