Summary

So I am trying to figure out how to do a few things in regards to ability scaling.  I am shooting for a system that increases the power of an ability with each use (practice makes perfect!) rather than the normal Ice 1, Ice 2, Ice 3 type setup.   I believe these are possible, but I have yet to actually figure out how to pull it off.  I am using Yanflys plugins ( 1.  I have an ability that does a light amount of damage and stuns.  I have a...

So I am trying to figure out how to do a few things in regards to ability scaling.  I am shooting for a system that increases the power of an ability with each use (practice makes perfect!) rather than the normal Ice 1, Ice 2, Ice 3 type setup.  


I believe these are possible, but I have yet to actually figure out how to pull it off.  I am using Yanflys plugins (<3 Yanfly)


1.  I have an ability that does a light amount of damage and stuns.  I have a variable defined that will gradually increase the damage with each use, but I would also like it to increase the % chance that the ability will successfully stun the target based on said variable.  


2.  I have a standard taunt ability.  I'd like a variable /100 to increase the duration (I was just trying to get something to actually use the variable before I tried math).  So if you use Taunt 100 times, the game would divide the variable by 100 and add 1 turn to the duration.  


3.  For spells, I'd like to have the animation change as the spell became more powerful.  I haven't even attempted this yet, but again I think it is doable.


Thanks in advance.  =)
