If you like this plugin, you can buy me a Ko-Fi! You can also find all the pay plugins for a cheaper subscription!

WARNING: THIS PLUGIN FROM V2.0 NEEDS WINTERDREAM CORE, download it for free and add it to your project ABOVE Stats And Skills

Use of the Script:

This plugin adds Stats and Skill in an RPG fashion.

Big Upgrade! Here it comes version 2.0 with a all-reworked plugin!

This plugin adds RPG-Like Stats and Skills to your project with a full control over them and an integrated Skill Check function!

Here is a list of features:

• Automatically creates a Stats and Skills database for your heroes
• You can set up unlimited stats and skills! (old 10 Stats and 20 Skills limit is gone)
• You can use the same "Exp" (not RMMZ experience) for Stats and Skills or have two difference Exps
• From v2.0 you can set up different Stats and/or Skills for different Actors (even the max number and growth rules can change)
• You can select different types of xp cost or create your own!
• From v2.0 each Stat or Skill can have its own special rules (max limit, growth cost)
• All the text in the plugin are translable, the plugin by default will check the user machine language and pick the matching language pack (or return the default if no matching language pack is available) - Careful: This is NOT an auto-translation, you need to provide the translations
• You can use Stats and Skills in RMMZ attack formula editor by writing wd followed by the stats or skill! For example 20 + a.wdStat1 means 20 plus attacker Stat 1
• You can create a monster Stats and Skills database to match Stats and Skills of monsters to the point above
• You can add Buff/Debuff mechanics to RMMZ Skills and RMMZ Equipment
• You can change Class behaviour to create the parameters (such as Max HP) based on Stats and Skills, this automatically adapts to Buff/Debuff from any source
• The plugin already had a manual "Time Buff" command to handle Vanishing and Aging Buffs, now it can auto time Buffs in commands (every turn end) and on map (every step - experimental)
• From v2.0 there is a Skill Check feature that allows to create graphical or text Skill Checks based on dices, stats, skills, RMMZ parameters, variables and more!
• Create your Skill Check Preset database to avoid filling in every time the "Create Check" Command
• Create your Skill Check Dices Presets to avoid filling in the dice details every time
• Skill Check support classic dice roll (D&D style) or dice count roll (Chronicles/World of Darkness)
• Optionally, allow the player to boost his Skill Check!
• Optionally, allow the player to opt out from the Check!
• Skill Check stores the result, the numerical value reached, if the player used boosts and if the player quitted, to RMMZ switches and variables

VERSION 2.0:

• Rebuilt the whole plugin from zero, commands have been kept compatible with old version but PLUGIN PARAMETERS changed completely and need to be set again before using the plugin
