What status effects do you think could use more effects?

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

though if you have lots of HP, 10x damage might not be enough to kill you... XD

What about Blind state including another stat to increase like MAT. Blind may cripple your physical attacker, but be wondrous for your magic blaster~

That sounds more like a pure buff instead of a debuff. It wouldn't make sense unless a game specifically has magic users that use phys attacks as well. (Which is barely any games)  I think there are more better, logical ideas out there for blind extras.

Blind - Decrease Accuracy, Decrease Defense, Decrease Speed.  That's what I'd do with it, anyway.  Basically, everything that happens to someone who suddenly loses their sight.  Maybe even a chance at some "self inflicted damage" from falling down or bumping into walls and other such nonsense.

Deaf - Decrease magic attack power, decrease attack power of anything sound related, effectively silences a player (deaf people have a hard time talking because they can't hear themselves speaking to know what it sounds like).  You could also lower evasion rate while decreasing damage from magic attacks (depending on how your magic works, this may make sense.  As in, if you don't hear the spell, it can't affect you at all).

i make sure to lower evasio ad magic evasion for blind. slightly. cant dodge  what you cant see

 

[Mimironi]

I think freezing states could have an extra effect.

Once they're unfrozen they shouldnt be able to jump right back into battle, so I think there should be an after effect where they're in a 'shivering' state and it lowers evasion, accuracy, defense, and they may be immobile for that time too. It could probably become op if they're immobile in the shiver state too though...

Here's the types of Status changes I'm planning on using.  I've decided to replace the luck stat with a new stat called Agility.  It acts as the "Defensive" stat for Speed.
Strength -- Endurance.
Speed -- Agility.
Mind -- Willpower.
 
 

Spoiler

Poison. Lowers all physical stats. (Strength, Endurance, Speed, and Agility) And over a certain amount of time will damage the poisoned target.

Disease. Lowers all physical stats even more so than poison. Harder to cure Disease but rarer to find enemies that inflict it.

Blind. Decreases hit rate as well as Agility and Endurance. Due to being blind you can't defend yourself as easily. Does not affect creatures that don't use sight, such as plants. And for creatures that can rely on hearing or smell will have a lesser effect.

Berserker Rage. Causes target to wildly attack enemies. Gives a massive boost to Strength, Willpower, and Speed, but lowers Endurance Agility and Mind. Can also render the target immune to mind affecting ability such as confuse or entice.

Confuse. Causes the target to take a random action. Pretty much standard I think.

Entice. Causes the target to fight for the caster. Also standard I think. (Think Charm from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.)

Swift Foot. Raises Speed and Agility but lowers Defense.

Full Defense. Massively raises Defense and Willpower but lowers all other stats.

Deaf. Reduces Endurance and Agility. May also render target immune to certain spells that require a vocal delivery.

Silenced. Target cannot use vocal spells. Standard stuffs here.

Burned. Lowers Endurance and Strength.

Entangled. Massively lowers Agility and Speed.

Sleeping. Lowers all defensive stats and prevents actions.

Focus Fire. Increases Strength at the cost of Agility.

Cover. Takes damage for target. Standard me thinks.

Wounded prey. Lowers defensive stats but makes enemies more likely to target you.

Odor. Makes enemies less likely to attack you. Does not work on enemies with no sense of smell/taste. Such as plants.

 
Hmm....I think that's it.  Maybe I'll think of more later.

I have a state progression line,where some enemies can inflict higher versions of standard states.

(Infection->Sick->Poison->Disease->Zombification)

• Infection-5% HP Lost turn round
• Sick-5% HP Lost per turn/Slightly smaller hit rate/debuffed speed.
• Poison-5% HP Lost per turn/Slightly smaller hit rate/debuffed speed/dubuffed attack (rare)
• Disease-7% HP lost per turn/unable to battle
• Zombification-8% HP Lost per turn/Attacks team mates/HP is halved.

There are two things I do with some altered states on my game. First, is base stat changes. Even if it is a debuff, some of them actually raise one or even two statistics (if you want to poison your character to raise his strength by a 10% while costing you 10%HP per turn, you're welcome to do so!). Of course, real buffing states cause major increases, but there is it, if you want to take the risk, since you can stack even three poisons and three ATK buffs, making your ATK stat raise to something close to 220% (well, those 20% from poison don't seem to pay off!). It also lowers defense a little.

The idea behind poison raising attack is because some poisons can affect the mind state. So, on this case, it causes a lesser berserkr state, in addition to the steady body degeneration.

The other thing I do with altered states, is element weaknesses. First I gave each element one state. Poison for example is the earth elemental state (some poisons are just certain kinds of earth). Burn is for fire (which causes smaller damage over time but heavily cripples defenses). And so on. So each of these states raise damage from that element.

I also made a heavy magic booster which lowers 5%HP per turn, but makes you weak to Light. I've listed it between the pregressive damage states because it will be used by monsters. In my game, if any battler has 0MP, they die (Dry status).

I also have a frozen status. It works pretty much like Stone from Final Fantasy, it's treated like death, without lowering your HP to zero, and raises your defenses to 200%, but your character can't act. Difference is that you can cure it by using fire attacks on your character (or if your opponent randomly chooses to do so, nice!).

My hypothesis behind all of this is that, there is no completely black or completely white status. Beneficial statuses can have a down side, and harmful states can have a "good part", even if small. Same goes for skills. Of course I have some "purely good" and "purely bad", like stat boosting/lowering states.

Anyway, I hope this contributes to the topic,

PD.: BTW, I'm such a troll. My Silence status raises magic by a lot. Same goes for my physical disabling, which raises atk. x'D. Anyway, just for the lulz. And actually raising magic makes them more resistant to magic. The other one though, only helps if you have a countering skill... whose aren't affected by disabling statuses.
