Dungeons and Dragons flavored combat mechanics/spells?

[Amarok]

Hello there, since i started using a tactical battle system on my project (courtesy of Lecode!) I began experimenting a bit with
different approachs to the system.
First i tried something like fire emblem, but now im interested in trying out something similar to Baldur's gate or Icewind dale.

So im sorry if this has been asked and solved before, but i want to know if it's possible to replace a standard formula with a dice rolling mechanic for skills/spells.

And also, im wondering about how to limit spells in the same way D&D does, so the player has to actually think a bit before using their skills instead of just spamming damage and healing non stop.

Any other idea to make the system closer to D&D is welcome aswell!

I've made a few plugins that have a D&D flavor to them. I have many more planned, including a Vancian magic system, but it's going to take a while for me to complete all the ideas on my list. Here's what I have so far.

There's an older thread around here that compiled a list of plugins that can be used to make D&D inspired games as well. I don't know if anyone has replaced the entire battle formula system to simulate dice rolling, though. That would be quite the task (unless you're just looking for damage which can be done in the formula box).

@Frogboy thanks a lot for the info! im really looking forward for more of your work i also tried your skill check plugin and loved it, but right now doesn't seem to be compatible with my project (im using a ton of other plugins) i will keep trying to implement it though!

Also i think, since the tactical battle system already makes the combat a lot like D&D just having something like the vancian magic system would be enough for what i want. The rest would be tweaking the stats of everything to make it more similar.

Let me know of any compatibility issues you find. There shouldn't be many with my Talents plugin as it adds functionality as opposed to changing base functionality. I've updated the plugin so those issues may have already been resolved depending on what version you originally tried to work with.
