Status Related†

Max Level
Specify the maximum level of the Casts and Classes in the game.
Up to 9999 levels can be specified.
The maximum level for the entire game specified here cannot be changed during the game through events or other methods.

Level Up by EXP
Specify whether or not to use the experience-based leveling system.

EXP Calculation Formula (Reserve)
Sets the formula for calculating the additional EXP gained by reserve members when a battle is won.
The default value is "exp*0", so reserve members do not gain any EXP.
If you set "exp*100", reserve members will gain the same amount of EXP as active members.

Example 1: 2 → Always adds 2 EXP.
Example 2: exp * 10 → Adds 10 times the EXP gained by active members. (exp = base EXP)

EXP Formula (Class)
Specify the formula for the value added to the experience value when winning a battle, which affects the level up of a class.
Example 1: 2 -> 2 is always added.
Example 2: exp * 10 -> 10 times the experience value that goes into the cast will be added. (exp = base experience)

Parameter Reflection Rate (Class)
Specify the rate at which the parameters of the class set for the cast are added to the cast-specific parameters.

EXP Formula (Subclass)
Specify the formula for the value added to experience value when winning a battle, which affects the level of the subclass.
Example 1: 2 -> 2 is always added.
Example 2: exp * 10 -> 10 times the experience value that goes into the cast will be added. (exp = base experience)

Parameter Reflection Rate (Subclass)
Specify the rate at which the parameters of the subclass set for the cast are added to the cast-specific parameters.

Basic Max Damage/Recovery Amount
This is the base value for the maximum damage/recovery.
The final upper limit will be the result of adding the maximum damage/recovery from equipped items and states to this value.

Critical Damage Rate(%)
When a critical hit occurs, the configured percentage is multiplied with the final result of the damage calculation.
As of Ver. 2.3, if a critical hit occurs during a normal attack using a weapon, this value is always applied as a multiplier.

Critical Damage Rate Target Tag
Specifies the tags of skills to which the value set in the Critical Damage Rate will be applied.
For example, you can use this if you want critical hits to occur for physical attack skills but not for spell attacks.
By default, #Skill is set, meaning all skills are subject to the Critical Damage Rate multiplier.

Reserve-related†

State Removal Conditions Progress
You can set whether the removal conditions of “states” applied to reserve members will continue to progress.
For example, if this switch is turned off, a state like “Sleep” that is removed after a certain number of turns will not be removed as long as the affected member remains in reserve.

Battle Related†

Use Attack Range
Specify whether the "Attack Range" set in Database > Casts or Database > Items should have an effect.
The unit of attack range is the grid on the battle layout.
It will not be able to attack enemies out of attack range.
Attack range "0" is treated as infinite range.
"Attack Range" also affects the range of its effect in the following cases.
- When an item is used as an "item" in battle
- When an item with a skill is used as a "skill"

Attack Range Judgment Type
If "Attack Range Judgment Type" is set to "Line", Only the "front" and "rear" distances on the battle layout will be taken into account.
In the case of "Line," if you set the attack range to 1, they can attack "an enemy with one grid in between."
When "Distance" is selected, the diagonal distance is also included in the attack range.

In the case of "Distance", if the attack range is set to 1, they can attack "enemies adjacent to each other horizontally and vertically". For example, to target an enemy that exists diagonally in front of them by one grid, put the attack range √2≒1.5

The area in blue is the range that can be reached when "Attack Range 1" is specified.
(Left: Line, Right: Distance)
If the attack range does not reach the center point of the grid, it cannot be attacked.
Therefore, if the "Distance" is set, the attack will not reach the diagonal grid.

Make Battle Rewards Level Dependent
Specify whether to multiply the battle rewards set in Database > Casts > Battles by the level of the defeated cast.

Show “Escape” Command
Allows you to choose whether the “Escape” command is automatically added to the battle commands of battle members.
"Escape" Command Success Rate
Specify the success rate of the “Escape” battle command.
The success rate can also be set using a formula or formula management tags.

Count Y Movements as Steps
When turned on, the “height movement amount” is also counted as the “Number of Steps” used to determine the encounters with enemies.
Please refer to the Map Settings palette > Enemy Distribution tab.

Swap with Reserve on Party Wipe
If the active party is wiped out and there are still surviving reserve members, the system will automatically swap in reserve members and the battle will continue.

↑

Map Battle Related†

Use Map Battles
When turned on, when the player comes into contact with casts assigned "Enemy" or "Both" on the map, damage will be inflicted on both parties.
See this Casts of the Database for information on specifying the type of casts.
Also see Collision Detection between Cast Members and Events.

Display Damage during Map Battles
When turned on, damage values are displayed when map battles occur.
The graphics for damage values can be specified in System Resources.

Use Default Battle Layout
Specify whether to use the "default layout specified in this tool" for the placement of allies and enemies in battles.

Battle Layout Settings
If you do not use the default battle layout, you can specify the alignment of allies and enemies in this section.
The "system default" refers to the default layout specified in this tool.
If a custom battle layout is specified in Map Settings > Enemy Distribution for each map, or if no battle layout is specified for an event battle, the battle will be conducted according to what is specified in this section.

Rearrange by State During Battle
Specify whether a party member who is in a certain "state" during a battle should be automatically moved to the back of the formation.
You can specify whether or not to enable this feature for each "state" in Database > State Definition.

Restore the Original Order when States are Removed
Specify whether party members who are moved to the back of the formation during battle due to their "state" will return to their original position when the "state" is removed.

Reverse Left/Right Battle Target Selection
Reverse Up/Down Battle Target Selection
You can change the direction of movement of the selection cursor for battle commands.
Please use according to the layout of the battle in progress.

Trigger Cancel Event with Party Leader
If the player cancels during the turn of the lead cast member in battle, an event will be executed if one is set.
Set the event trigger to “Every Turn.”
This feature is intended for use cases such as implementing a “party menu.”

Proceed Battle Result Automatically
Specify whether the result effect after the battle will proceed automatically or be left to the user.

Individualize Level Up Effects
Specify whether or not to display the effect at level-up separately for each cast member.

Display Reflected Effects
Turning this switch off shortens the time of the battle performance time by omitting the effect that is displayed against the attacker after the skill reflection.

Object Transparency Start Distance
Specify the distance from the camera at which dithering will begin when "Use Object Transparency" is on.

Preserve Rendering Settings
When enabled, any rendering settings changed via events will be saved in the save data for each map and preserved.
