after FT 4.0

Spoiler: Show

As I have said previously, real world physics can be added without building a complete physics engine. I've programmed complete DnD games in 3K of memory the emulated very complex physics with very simple math equations.

Lets start with a few assumptions:

1. All armour has a minimum required level for the ARM attribute.

2. All weapons and items (like gloves and shields) require DEX and STR.

Ideally modifying the item database would provide the best flexibility, but what I'm about to describe can be added to the player equip module as conditional right after the level check test.

Here is a list of items from the game that demonstrate what I'm talking about:

Item	Lvl	Str	Arm	Dex
Crossbow	9	3	0	0
Conquistador Armor	8	0	3	0
Swamp Mask	25	8	6	4
Claymore	50	16	0	12

The above are just examples using very simple math, lvl/3 or lvl/4 depending on what the significant attribute per each item. Setting minimum STR, ARM, and DEX based upon this simple technique can give the effect of real world physics in a simple, fast, and easy way to implement.

I think we unknowingly suggested the same thing. Minimum stats for item requirements. I think i also read a post or two wrong lol.

Yes, see first page, idea #2. This is what I'm calling priority number one because it would be EASY to implement and solve several types of abuse

Just want to point out that after much discussion with many people (including some on this thread) I have removed the mage's dex from the damage formula suggested in #10

Also added number 17 -- I was reminded of this today after a level 43 (who shall remain nameless) stole from my alt and called me a noob LoL
