First things to notice: LE and EE.

Usually in RPGs, you have Hit Points (HP) and Magic Points (MP). However, since there’s no magic in Danny Phantom not really-ish? I’ve decided to go with Life Energy (LE) and Ecto Energy (EE).

As you can see, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Maddie, Jack, and Valerie have 0 EE. Obviously, they’re human, so they won’t be using “magic”. For those of you not familiar with RPG Maker, this doesn’t leave them without special abilities. Instead they have a special bar that fills every time they do anything (i.e. defend, use an item, physically attack) and those points can be used for their specialties.

“Type” is there, really for my own reference. It helps me keep in mind who is what and how their stats should be calculated in the maker and what kind of skills I need to give them. Daniel gets to be the snarky healer we all deserve ♥

And now, I’m sure, the question everyone is asking.

Why are everyone’s stats so low?

Short answer: I like small stats. They’re easier to balance when testing.

Long answer: My husband and I just finished LPing Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete and, honestly, I kinda stole the stats from those games lol. But not simply because I’m lazy I am but it just makes sense to me.

Unlike in other RPGs (Final Fantasy mostly), Amity Park isn’t some war-torn country or magical land with death behind every corner, so I highly doubt a pre-ghost power Danny would have a starting HP of 2000 and be able to punch someone in the face for 600 damage. It just feels more natural for me for a young, bullied, kinda nerdy kid to have a small start and a somewhat decent gain.

But don’t worry, as soon as I get them in, armor and weapons will still give you pretty decent boosts.

Plus, it’s the one thing a Trigger fan like me enjoys about Chrono Cross lol
