Hey everyone,

I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Core plug-in because I really like the CTB system, and I know that Agility is the stat that affects turn order. Let's suppose my Hero (H) has an agility of 10, and a Monster (M) has the same agility of 10. I understand that we would always alternate basic turns, because our agilities are identical (so turn order would be H, M, H, M, H, M, ...). My question has to do with the consistency of turn order when the monster's agility is still 10, but my hero's agility is higher:

1. Based on testing, it appears to be the case that my hero will always take 2 back-to-back turns if my hero's agility is 20 or higher (I've tested H = 20, 30, and 500 agility against M = 10 agility). Therefore, the turn order would now be (H, H, M, H, H, M, H, H, M, ...). Is it ever possible to take 3 or more turns before the monster makes a move (like H, H, H, M, H, H, H, M, ...), or is the default upper bound 2 turns in a row?

2. And am I correct in thinking that the guaranteed double turn occurs because my agility is *at least twice* (multiplicative) the monster's agility (as opposed to something additive)? The double turns also always seem to occur if H has an agility of 40 and M has an agility of 20, and also if H = 100 while M =50.

3. And what happens if H is only slightly higher than M, but not double? Is there a specific proportion of double turns vs. single turns, or a general probability that a double turn occurs, depending on the multiplier? For example, if H = 15 and M = 10, then the hero's agility is 50% higher. Does that mean that the turn order will always alternate (50/50) between single turns and double turns (e.g., H, M, H, H, M, H, M, H, H, M, ...)? Or maybe does it mean that there's a 50% chance (coinflip) that I'll get a double turns in before the next monster turn, which could potentially lead to a less predictable string of multiple double turns or single turns (i.e., flipping a few double turns in a row or flipping a few single turns in a row)?

4. Working off the multiplier from question 3, does this hold for other percents besides 50%? If H = 13 and M = 10, does the hero have a 30% chance of a double turn, each time a monster's turn has ended?

Thank you!
