Hi Guys,
so I was wondering how you guys balance your games (in terms of approach)?
As what I do is create a spreadsheet with the classes specific stats per level, xp per level etc. (see spoiler for a created example)

These stats are preitems, so I would run a test fight with a level 1 monsters I want with a unarmed player of this class and see how it fairs (it should win as its a level 1 v level 1 monster) but it may take a little longer then anticipated (this is where items come in).
Now once you know how the outcome of that fight happened (you took too much damage / did way too little) you can then incorporate the basic items with stats such as a "wooden sword +4 attack" then test fight again, it seemed to go a fair bit quicker this time, so you now have your base for that level.
Its the balance between balancing items and nerfing / buffing your monsters that gets complicated, its a case of "do you add 10 attack to a weapon" or "add 7 attack to a weapon and 2 defense / 10 hitpoints on the monster" - it depends on your scaling of items you want etc.
This also now allows you to know if you put up your monsters hitpoints by 50 and defense by 5 (depending on your games damage formulas) you would need your weapons scaling attack to be X (depending on formula) to do appropriate amount of damage to trash.
One thing, if you have 'legendary' style gear, I avoid balancing heavily around these, (these are higher then average stated gear for your level, and can take awhile to obtain but balancing round these can make the average joe player struggle in fights)
Also boss balancing isn't as simple, if you aren't just a tank and spank game ( each optional boss in my game will be approached as its own battle, balanced around various conditions (such as certain items to weaken it etc.)
so yeah, I know its a wall of text, but wanted to give an insight of how I start off my balancing and curious to how you guys approach it! in case there are ways that inspire meee
previous totals add so level 3 = 162-50 for that levels exp

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!

The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
