Warning!! This plugin was made with RPG Maker MV 1.6.2 so it might not work with older versions.

Warning!! Do not use script calls such as $gameParty.gainGold() etc. Functions used in skill formulas must have numeric result, otherwise skills won't do damage at all or crash game. (This rule applies also in default editor Box!)

Most important thing to note: This plugins will affect only skills used by player and other party members. It does not touch skills used by enemies.
