2. Game-wide tuning changes

a. Related to the level 80 cap increase, we are making some significant changes to the combat tuning.

The goal is to mitigate (but not entirely eliminate) situations where characters can be killed before they’ve had any chance to act.

b. Defense will now be more significant in the battle

c. Speed will now be important in calibration of a character’s damage output. Generally speaking, faster acting characters will see a damage reduction and slower characters will see an increase.

d. The “Advantage” ability is changing. It will now be a guaranteed critical hit for a single action.

e. All characters will now gain a new mechanic (working name: “Fortitude”), which will be activated at a certain point in characters’ progression. This will act as another layer of health which needs to be exhausted by opponents before the character starts losing their health. Current healers will not replenish Fortitude. We may add characters and abilities in the future which will act on, around, with, etc. Fortitude.
