I would imagine statuses would still be applied the same way they do now.. though with small modifications to what gets blocked.. magic negated statuses for the most part would stay the same maybe even bumping up a few of the normally blocked by physical statuses to the magic level, and maybe a few more statuses that maybe cannot be blocked at all..

Well the idea is to create an environment in which a split party is viable.. although it also needs to be versatile in respect to one character, one damage type partys. I apologize, as I guess I did need to get a little more in depth with my explanation as I omitted a few of the finer details in getting my point across.. but, it makes sense to me that Magic should actually damage Physical armor and Physical attacks should damage Magic armor, although at about half the damage rate, maybe less.. There could be more magic buffs to weapons made available, making your weapon do Magic Damage for an amount of turns for example.. or as I stated already.. maybe making certain skills pierce through armor types altogether..

There is a lot of things that could be done to add to this idea honestly.. I will admit I don't have everything figured out at the moment and would have to leave some of the details to Larian, it is their game of course lol
