Once you have walked around, once the random encounter data has played its part, Once the enemies have been selected, You're ready to battle... But how does everythign work? How much Damage will you do? What will your spells do, and who'll go first? That's to be answered in this section. Also, the statuses for enemyies and humans are stuck in here because they'd fit well in this section :P _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Beginning of Battle Things-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Each Enemy Group Has a value that determines how easy or hard it is for the enemy to end up with a first attack. Also there is a bit that tells whether or not you can run from an enemy party. For these values search through enemy parties with hackster, maybe ill have them in the next update. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Player Attacks and Magic Damage_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Commands: Fight Run Magic Item Drink _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Fight: a physical attack _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Damage Dealt: First Take your Number of hits (Hit% / 32) + 1, rounded down is your number of hits. And then dake your damage rating. The damage done for each attack is simple. Random Number: Damage - Damagex2 Then subtract the enemy's Absorb So Basically Number of hits x ((Damage - Damage x 2) - Absorb) However, You CAN Miss, and the chance for that isnt quite known, though it envolves somehing like your hit% minus the enemies evade... And then there are also critical hits. These always hit no matter what the enemies evade is... however the chances for critical hits are not known. When you do a critical hit, the damage dealt is Damage x 2, and absorb is ignored. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Magic: Cast a Spell _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_For both Attacking and curing spells (but not status inflicting spells) there is a certain spell strength... I already took the time to write down all you need to know about hte range of damage in the magic section of the FAQ though. However if you really want to know the power of a magic attack, or how it works you must take the spell's strength. In the FAQ you can find the spell strength in attack magic by taking the lowest number in the attack power of the spell in the damage range in the magic section in the FAQ... Ok thats kinda complicated. Go to the magic section of the FAQ, look at the description, look at how much the spell can cure or hit for, and find the lowest number there. That's The spell's attack power. Now for attack spells, multiply that lowest number by 4. For cure spells multiply by 2. Now you know the range of effectiveness for the spell. One other thing you may want to know is how elemental resistances work. This goes for both enemy and player defenses. Damage done is equal to: (Spell Strength / 4) - (Spell Strength) Now for someone weak to a spell the damage done will be: Spell Strength x 1.5 - Spell Strength x 6 _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Item: Unlock the magical power of an item _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_This is a very simple command, look at the weapon and armor data in the items section to find out what spells the armors and weapons can use when used as items. Basically apply the regular rules for the spell. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Drink: Heal yourself with a drink of a potion _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

In battle, Heal potions have a different effect than normally. Instead of 30 Hp being healed, 8-32 Hp is healed. Pure potions will cure poison. And thats basically it. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Run: Escape from harsh conditions _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Running from battle involves luck. If you sucessfully run, youll exit the battle with no exp or gold gained. Some enemies such as bosses cannot be run from as well as certain enemy parties like Blue Dragons, or the FrGiant + FrWolf combination of enemies. Luck is what determines your chance of running, as well as character position. If you're in the first or second slots, you run easier than normal. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Character Attack Order-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Character attack order is random, including enemy attack order. There isn't a stat that affects attack order. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Enemy Attacks and other Enemy Related Battle Things_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_What the Enemy will do and who he will target is one of the things that is known. Who the enemy will target (with single target spells) Enemy physical attacks also use this "formula" The character in the first spot will be targetted 50% of the time, the second position 25% and the 3rd and the 4th 12.5% each. So... Slot 1: 50% Slot 2: 25% Slot 3: 12.5% Slot 4: 12.5% And what the enemy will do is determined by their chance of physical or magical attack if they even have any... First what happens is the enemy checks what the chance of magical attack is, and does that calculation. If it comes out, he casts the next spell on his list (explained more a bit under here) If it doesent come out, then the same thing happens with the special attacks. If that doesent comeout either then a physical attack is performed. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Enemy Spell List Information-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Say an enemys spell list is: CURE HARM CUR2 HRM2 CUR3 HRM3 HEL2 HEL3 When an enemy casts a spell, if its the first time that battle he always picks

CURE as his spell, then he will go ahead and cast HARM the next time, and CUR2 the next time. Its not a very hard concept... The same rules apply for Enemy spells, however, the enem spells list can only be 4 spells long. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_Damage Formulas_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_---------------------Physical damage---------------------------(Confusing version) H E D A N X B = = = = = = = Attacker Hit% Opponent Evade% Attacker Damage Opponent Absorb Number of hits ((H% / 32) + 1) Rounded down Damage done by one attack Total damage done

To find out Experience and gold won, add up that values of all the enemies... for experience, divide by the number of characters in your party that are living. For gold you dont have to divide anything. After the battle, FF1 creates a new random number for the steps to get into the next battle, and for what enemy party you fight next, as well as the number of enemies, however the former 2 arent really random, are they? (As explained in the random battles section)
