I'm using VX Ace to make an rpg with thematic and artistic influence from Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Earthbound, but I want to have a unique gimmic for the battle system.
Here's what I'm looking for:
In the game there will be two health systems; actual health and cognitive stability.
All the creatures of the world are extremely fragile so they refuse to partake in physical combat (almost any level of physical violence would result in fatality which is considered a crime even amongst the worst criminals), but they posses a particular ability: they can project their consciousness into a psychic plane where they /can/ fight. In this field any attacks affect the victims cognitive ability, so loosing can make you dizzy, drowsy, ect. which puts you in a position to be mugged or restrained (depending on the attackers intent). That all being said, there is still ways to take damage in the real world, like environmental hazards, which /can/ kill you.
With that explanation out of the way; I'm looking for a way to have a system for health in battle that is separate from over-world health, and I'm hoping for one that works with a overworld health hud.
Are there any existing scripts for something like that? I'm hoping for something simple if possible, as so far I've gotten away with using regular rpg maker event scripting to do some crazy stuff and haven't really had to use any plugins.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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!
