Introduction

Balancing your game battles can be a difficult challenge! it is a fact that RPG Maker MV already makes some resources available in the class database. Although you have some ways to change the way your status increases when you level up, you still don't have full control.
Well, with this plugin, you will be able to choose how you want each of your normal parameters to increase at each level, in each class!

Features

• Add a status curve for each standard parameter, fully customizable and independent of the editor.
• You can use fixed values.
• You can use random values.
• You can use values within a minimum and maximum range.
• You can use formulas.

How to use

• First set up the Minimum Stats parameter. This is the minimum value for all classes at level zero. You can leave it the way it is, but you can also change.

• Now build your custom parameter curves in the Preset Curve parameters.You notice 5 other parameters in there:

• Name - The name of the curve to be referenced in the Data note field.
• Initial - The initial value of level 1 for this class.
• Min - The minimum amount the actor can earn when leveling up.
• Max - The maximum amount an actor can earn when leveling up.
• Cap - The maximum value that a parameter can reach in this class.

• You can use formulas in all tags.
• You can use the "this" keyword to refer to the actor.
• You can use '\v[id]' to get the value of a variable.
• If you want a fixed value, use the same value for MIN and MAX.

You can build as many as you want.

• Now you only need to use the class notes field.
<CustomCurve:Name>

If you do not set a custom curve to a class note field, it will take the first one in the plugin parameters as default.           

 ***ATTENTION! All notes are case sensitive!***

If you want to take more control over how can you exceed the cap(limit) value of a param, take a look at the extension plugin(ELIMZ_CapParameterControl.js)
