RPG Maker Forums

As I was pondering about the different types of damage you can have, I was reminded of the three different forms of physical damage used in Dungeons & Dragons and in Pathfinder: bludgeoning (from blunt weapons such as hammers and fists), slashing (from certain bladed weapons like axes and most swords) and piercing (from other bladed weapons like spears and some swords, and probably arrows too). My thoughts then turned to the sorts of creatures that would be weak to these kinds of damage. Creatures made entirely of a hard material like stone, bone or crystal seem like the sorts of things that would resist or be outright immune to slashing and piercing damage, but vulnerable to bludgeoning damage. Something soft and squishy, on the other hand, would probably resist bludgeoning damage but not slashing damage and probably not piercing damage either.

I am wondering what the RPG Maker community's thoughts are on this. In particular, what sorts of creatures would you imagine being vulnerable to piercing damage but possibly resistant to slashing damage and vice versa (since my own thoughts kind of failed at this part)?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
