Editing how Magic/Physical Armor and health work - 03/12/17 10:42 AM
(First of sorry if this is in the wrong forum)
I recently started work on a complete overhaul mod for Divinity because while I really love the game there was a few things that I thought could have been better.
One of those things is how the game "forces" you to bias around one type of damage in your party to achieve max effectivness.
Thats why the Overhaul was supposed to focus around a new kind of damage model: instead of dividing the defenses in Magical and Physical Armor, I wanted magic armor to act as a kind of "Overshield" that is easy to regenerate via abilities and protects from most status effects while physical armor blocks damage more effective but allows more debuffs to be put on you.
But for the love of my live I cant figure out how to get ALL (or rather most) kinds of damage to act this way:
Dealing damage to the "Shield" first, then to Armor and then to Health. I only manage to get it to effect one of them or both of them at the same time which is not my intend.
Does anyone have an Idea how to deal with this?
