Airborne and Immunities

[Chinchou2004]

So I wanted to make the bat immune to physical moves and if you throw a pebble at it, it can be hit by physical moves, and after a while it can become immune to physical attacks again. I tried to do this with states and element rates, but they don't work. What can I do?

 

[Palin]

Using states and manipulating elemental rates seems a way to do it to me. What didn't work when you tried?

 

[Andar]

states and damage rates are usually the way to go, but you can't make the enemy completely immune if you want to go this way.

It's the mathematics - damage rates are multiplicative, and if you include one 0% then no matter what else you add, the multiplication with zero is always zero.

If you go this way, the default should be along 5% or so - neglegtable but not zero, so that 5% multiplied with 2000% is 100% again.

there are other ways to do thisas well, but we need more info todecide which way might work better for you.

I mean I want a way to make physical attacks do virtually nothing until someone throws a pebble at the bat

 

[Chinchou2004]

Wait the system doesn't allow 2000%

 

[Uzuki]

Maybe have the state give the bat maximum defense and then have the pebble item be able to remove the state.

Okay thanks
