    This guide digs deeply into the innards of FFT and explains
the mathematical formulas which are used to calculate the elements
of an FFT battle (i.e., damage and success rates).  We recommend
that you know a little basic algebra before reading on, or else
the guide will make little to no sense.  Though this isn't the
most important information in the world, it's the product of
much work over a long period of time and we hope you will read
and enjoy it.

[1.1] definitions & abbreviations
      ===========================

Before you read this guide, there are a few definitions and
abbreviations which you should understand:

- An ATTACK is any action taken in battle except for 'Defend',
  'Wait', or 'Equip Change'.

- The CASTER is the unit (person or monster) executing an attack.

- The TARGET is the unit(s) on the receiving end of the attack.
  The caster and target can be the same unit.

- PHYSICAL AT is the number next to the sword icon on the middle
  panel of the status screen.  It indicates a character's physical
  attack power.  In this guide, Physical AT is sometimes abbreviated
  'PA'.  Min: 1  Max: 99

- MAGICAL AT is the number next to the sceptre icon on the middle
  panel of the status screen.  It indicates a character's magical
  ability.  In this guide, Magical AT is sometimes abbreviated as
  'MA'.  Min: 1  Max: 99

- WEAPON POWER is the strength of the equipped weapon. It can be
  seen on the middle panel of the status screen, next to the 
  letter of the appropriate hand ('R' or 'L'). Min: 0  Max: 40

- A PHYSICAL ATTACK is any attack which uses Physical AT in its
  calculation.

- A MAGICAL ATTACK is any attack which uses Magical AT in its
  calculation.  Some attacks (e.g. Geomancy) can be both physical
  and magical.

- BRAVE, which is listed on-screen under the character's name and
  occupation, is a stat which supposedly represents courage in
  battle.  It's a factor in many special skills and a few
  weapon attacks, and also represents the rate at which you'll
  use your Reaction Ability.  In this guide, you will see it
  abbreviated as 'Br'.  Min: 1 (below 10 = Chicken)  Max: 100

- FAITH, listed on-screen next to Brave, is supposed to represent
  belief in miracles and supernatural phenomena.  It factors into
  both magic damage and rate of success, and is an important
  stat for a mage.  We abbreviate it here as 'Fa'.  Min: 1  
  Max: 100 (if it's above 90, any character except Ramza or a
  Guest will leave)

- The RANGE of an attack is the number of squares, counted in a
  straight line, that the attack has the potential to target (not
  counting the caster himself). It is represented on the screen when 
  an attack is selected by red, glowing panels.  Examples:

  (X = Caster)
                            #           #
                  #        ###          #
        #        ###      #####         #
       #X#      ##X##    ###X###     ###X###
        #        ###      #####         #
                  #        ###          #
     Range 1   Range 2      #           #
                          Range 3     Range 3
                                     (4 directions)
    
    Usually, Range is independent of vertical height, but for some
    skills (e.g., Talk Skill), it can be limited by height difference.
    
- The EFFECT AREA of an attack determines which panels will actually be
  hit by the attack.  It's determined by counting the number of squares
  an attack can hit from the centre to one corner of the effect area.
  Effect area is usually restricted by vertical height.  Most attacks
  have a height tolerance of 2-3, but it varies greatly.  When an attack
  has an overly restrictive or permissive vertical effect area, we try
  to note it in the guide, but it's not absolutely complete.

  Examples:
                           O
                 O        OOO
      O         OOO      OOOOO
                 O        OOO
                           O
   Effect 1   Effect 2  Effect 3

   A combination of range and effect area is used to determine the 
   attack's firing range.  We represent this in the guide as two numbers,
   the first being the range and the second the effect area.  For 
   instance, a spell with firing range {5/1} means it has a range of 5
   and an effect area of 1. If there is an effect area greater than one,
   it can make the attack go further than the range. 

   Special firing ranges:

   - for LINEAR firing ranges, the range is measured in the number
     of squares outward (not including caster) that the attack can
     target, followed by the number of directions the line can go in.
     the effect area is measured by the number of squares it affects,
     and the number of directions in which it does so.  for example,
     the 'Holy Explosion' attack is {5(4dir)/5(1dir)}.

   - for AUTOMATIC firing ranges, the range and the effect area are
     always the same.  This is denoted by {A/N}, where N is the 
     number of squares, in a straight line counted from the centre 
     of the effect area, that the attack effects. For instance, {A/3} 
     is illustrated below.

abbreviations & symbols:
------------------------

+ means addition
- means subtraction
* means multiplication
/ means division

[X] means the greatest integer less than or equal to X (or, 'always
round X _down_ to the nearest one.').  Note that if X is negative,
this means that the absolute value of the number you round to will 
always be _greater_ than the number (because more negative is 'less').  
For instance, [1.04] = 1, [-31.9] = -32, [5] = 5, [10.5] = 10, 
[-3.0001] = -4, [.7] = 0, [11.999] = 11.  Be sure to note the
difference between [ ] and ( ) in the formulas.

Br = Brave
Fa = Faith
MA = Magical AT
PA = Physical AT
WP, WpnPwr = Weapon's power
CFa = Caster's Faith
TFa = Target's Faith
Lv = Level
MaxHP = Maximum HP (in HP 500/556, 556 is the MaxHP)
CurHP = Current HP (in HP 500/556, 500 is the CurHP)
MaxMP = Maximum MP
CurMP = Current MP
CT = Charge Time
P.SEv = Physical Shield Evade%
P.CEv = Physical Inherent Evade%
P.AEv = Physical Accessory Evade%
M.SEv = Magical Shield Evade%
M.CEv = Magical Inherent Evade%
M.AEv = Magical Accessory Evade%
WEv = Weapon Evade%
R/E = range / effect area
dir = directions
A/2, A/3, etc. = automatic firing range 2, 3, etc. (see above)
V = vertical (in effect area)

[1.2] signs of the zodiac
      ===================

Every person or monster in FFT has a Zodiac sign.  The interaction
of the Zodiac signs is always an effect in damage calculation.
In general, the better the compatibility, the higher the damage
or the success rate of attacks between two units.

compatibility chart

Serpentarius  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O

O: Neutral
+: Good   
-: Bad
?: Worst (same sex), Best (opposite sex)

Zodiac compatibility almost always affects damage or
success rate of attacks.  The 'Zodiac Multipliers' (Z) are generally 
as follows:

> For chances of success and for faith-based magic:
Good compatibility: damage or chance * 1.25        
Bad compatibility: damage or chance * 0.75
Best compatibility: damage or chance * 1.50
Worst compatibility: damage or chance * 0.50

> When the format for the damage from an attack is 
(multiplier) * (PA, MA, or Weapon Power),
the Zodiac effect is applied to the multiplier, and then the multiplier
is multiplied by the PA, MA, or WP normally:

Good compatibility:  (multiplier + [multiplier/4])
Bad compatibility:   (multiplier - [multiplier/4])
Best compatibility:  (multiplier + [multiplier/2])
Worst compatibility: (multiplier - [multiplier/2])

For instance, let's say an Aries with 13 PA and a Rune Blade 
attacks a Cancer.  Aries and Cancer have 'Bad' compatibility, so:

Damage {before Zodiac} = [13] * 14
Damage {after Zodiac} = [13 - [13/4]] * 14  <-- Notice that Zodiac is
                      = [13 - 3] * 14        applied before multiplying by WP
                      = [10] * 14
                      = 140

If you had applied the Zodiac effect after multiplying it out, you would
have got 137 damage, which is wrong.

                     
More examples:

A magic attack that would normally do 200 damage, when used by a male Libra, 
will do 250 damage if used on an Aquarius or Gemini; will do 150 damage if
cast on a Cancer or Capricorn; will do 100 damage if cast on a male Aries,
and do 300 damage if cast on a female Aries.

Similarly, a spell cast by a female Pisces with a 56% success rate normally,
will have a 70% success rate if cast on a Cancer or Scorpio; a 42% success
rate if cast on a Gemini or Sagittarius; a 28% chance on a female Virgo, 
and a 84% chance on a male Virgo.


Since monsters are unisex, they are immune from 'Best' and 'Worst'.  So,
for a monster, any unit that would normally be 'Best' or 'Worst' is instead
neutral.  NOTE -- the following monster classes are exceptions to this:
Warlock, Angel of Death, Regulator, Holy Angel, Impure King, Ghost of Fury,
Holy Dragon, Arch Angel.

'Critical hits' will sometimes occur at random intervals.  I don't know
if the frequency of these hits has to do with Zodiac compatibility or
not.  Regardless, damage done by a critical hit is equal to 
[Normal damage * 4/3].


_____________
[1.3] evasion
      =======

When you attack a unit, they have a chance to defend themselves with four 
things: (1) their natural stealth (C-EV); (2) their shield (S-EV); (3) their
accessory (A-EV); (4) their weapon (WEV), if they have the support ability
'Weapon Guard' equipped.  These four percentages are multiplied together and
subtracted from 100% to get the chance of actually hitting the unit with
the attack.  There are separate categories for physical (P.SEV, P.AEV, P.CEV)
and magical (M.SEV, M.AEV, M.CEV) damage.  Weapon evasion only works on
physical attacks.

For instance, let's say Ramza attacks Algus -- who is equipped with a 
Crystal Shield (P.SEV +40%, M.SEV +15%) and a Feather Mantle (P.AEV +40%,
M.AEV +30%).  The two have neutral Zodiac compatibility.  Algus has no
inherent evade%, but his shield and cloak will give him a chance to avoid 
the damage:

              Orig%   Shield    Cloak
Ramza's Hit% = 100 * (1-.40) * (1-.40) = 100 * .6 * .6 = 36%.

And if Ramza now decides to cast 'Flare' on Algus, Algus is also 
considerably protected due to M.SEV and M.AEV:

                    Shield    Cloak
Flare Hit% = 100 * (1-.15) * (1-.30) = 100 * .85 * .7 = .595 = 60%

Not all attacks are affected by all evade percentages.  Here is a
partial list of attacks and the corresponding evasion percentages
to use.

Weapon Attack (front)        P.AEV, P.CEV, P.SEV, W.EV
Weapon Attack (side)         P.AEV, P.CEV, W.EV
Weapon Attack (rear)         P.CEV
Stealing                     See [5.4]
Battle Skill                 See [5.5]
Talk Skill                   See [5.6]
Black Magic (damage-causing) M.AEV, M.SEV, M.CEV
Status-affecting magic       M.CEV
Allure, Steal Heart,
  Choco Ball                 P.CEV
Throw                        P.CEV, P.AEV

Some attacks will _always_ have 100% success rates,
regardless of the target's evasion percentages:

- all 'Holy Sword', 'Dark Sword', 'Mighty Sword'* attacks
- all Summon Magic except 'Silf', 'Carbunkle', 'Lich'
- all 'Draw Out' attacks
- all 'Fear' attacks (used by Zodiac beasts)
- 'Truth' and 'Un-truth' (that is, if they target the right panels)
- Shadow Stitch, Seal, Stop Bracelet (Assassin skills)
- Cure spells
- Choco Meteor
- Holy
- Dark Holy
- Meteor, Melt, Quake, Tornado
- Flare 2
- Giga Flare, Nanoflare, Lifebreak, Ulmaguest
- Ultima, All-Ultima
- Poison Frog, Midgar Swarm
- Geomancy
- Dash
- Limit (Cloud)
- Triple Flame, Triple Thunder, Dark Whisper (on panels they hit)
- Blow Fire, Mimic Titan
- Dragon Breath attacks
- Self-Destruct
- a few others

* 'Mighty Sword' cannot target monsters.

For all other magic spells which are _harmful_ to the target, you must 
take evasion% into consideration. (For instance, a target would try
to evade 'Slow' but they wouldn't try to evade 'Haste'.)


_____________________
[1.4] abnormal status
      ===============

There are a number of status alterations in FFT which can alter the way
that these equations are calculated:

Status      Appearance      Effect
~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Berserk     Red glow        [PA * 1.5], uncontrollable
Blood Suck  Complete purple Uncontrollable; always uses 'Blood Suck'
Charging    'C'             charging up spell; damage to a charging
                              target is multiplied by 1.5
Charm       Heart           Fight on enemy's side
Chicken     Chicken         Flee from enemies; uncontrollable
Confusion   Odd motions     Uncontrollable; will act randomly
Critical    Kneeling        HP is less than 25%
Darkness    Eye with 'X'    Target's evade percentages are doubled
Dead        Lying down      HP at 0; will disappear after 3 turns
Death-      Number above
 Sentence       head        When count runs out, unit dies
Defending   Guarded pose    Evasion percentages doubled

Quick       --              Unit's turn is executed next
Reflect     --              Reflectable spells bounce off 
Regen       Blue glow       +[MaxHP / 8] HP each turn
Reraise     Hovering angel  Cast Raise 1 turn after 'Dead' is set
Shell       Square          Magical damage to unit is multiplied by 0.6

Slow        Slow animation  Speed halved
Stop        No animation    CT stops
Undead      Magenta tint    Heal spells do damage; Death restores life;
                              unit always is healed from draining spells,
                              regardless of whether they are caster or 
                              target 


The following statuses are considered 'positive': Faith, Float,
Haste, Innocent, Protect, Regen, Quick, Reraise, Shell.

The following are considered 'negative': Berserk, Blood Suck,
Charm, Chicken, Confusion, Darkness, Dead, Death Sentence,
Don't Act, Don't Move, Frog, Invite, Oil, Petrify, Poison,
Reflect, Silence, Sleep, Slow, Stop, Undead.

A target will try to evade 'negative' effects (and so you must
factor in evasion% for these), but will not try to avoid
'positive' effects.  In addition, a target will never
try to avoid HP/MP recovery.


_________________________________
[1.5] elementals, my dear watson!
      ===========================

There are eight elemental properties in the game which affect
damage: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, Dark, Holy.

The effects are as follows:

Target    'Weak: (Element)' ... Damage from element is doubled
          'Half: (Element)' ... Damage from element is [halved]
          'Cancel: (Element)' ... Attacks of element can't succeed
          'Absorb: (Element)' ... Damage from element heals instead
                                    of hurts

Caster    'Strengthen: (Element)' ... Damage = [Damage * 1.2]

The elemental affiliations of an attack are listed in its
description.


_________________________
[1.6] a few general notes
      ===================

CRYSTALS
   When an enemy crystallizes and you are given the opportunity to
learn its abilities, you will gain _all_ of its abilities which you
did not have (not just one).

EXTRA JP
   When person X gains JP, everyone else in the party will earn
[1/6 of gained JP] towards the job which person X currently has.

LEARNING MAGIC
   Everyone knows that 'Ultima' and 'Zodiac' need to be learned by
experiencing their effects.  But not as many know that _any_ spell
may be learned in this way.  Simply have someone that knows the
spell cast it on someone (of the correct job) who doesn't know it
yet.  They may be given a chance to learn it.

THUNDERSTORMS
   In some battles, thunderstorms will be occurring.  If
this is the case, then Lightning damage is multiplied by 1.2, and
Fire damage is multiplied by 0.8, unless the caster has 
'Any Weather'.

INHERENT ABILITIES
   Some classes have inherent abilities other than those the
game lists.  For instance:

- 'Princess', 'Engineer' (Balk),  and 'Lune Knight' always have 
  DefenseUP and MagicDefendUP.
- 'Serpentarius' is immune to Ice
- 'Archaic Demon' and 'Ultima Demon' have Martial Arts and Counter
- Many mosters have immunities to various elements, which you can
  see by pressing SELECT on the monster's class name.
- Most classes to which 'boss' characters belong are immune to many
  status ailments.

[2.1] normal weapon attacks
      =====================

These formulas are used to calculate the damage that will result
when the specified weapon is equipped and you select the 'Attack'
command. 

Bare Hands: PhysAT * [PhysAT * (Brave/100)] 
  (multiply the damage by 1.5 if the attacker has 'Martial Arts')

Knife: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power
  (remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding)

Sword: Physical AT * Weapon's power 

Knight Sword: (Brave/100 * Physical AT) * Weapon's Power  

Ninja Sword: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power

Katana: (Brave/100 * Physical AT) * Weapon's Power

Staff: Magical AT * Weapon's power

Rod: Physical AT * Weapon's power 

Crossbow: Physical AT * Weapon's power (Range 4)

Bow: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power (Rng. 5)

Gun (regular): Gun's attack power squared (Range 8)

Gun (magical): Cast a level 1, 2, or 3 elemental spell (e.g.,
Bolt, Bolt 2, or Bolt 3 for the Blast Gun), with the MA being 
equal to the gun's power. (Range 8) {see section 3.1}

Hammer: (Weapon Power * Random # from 1 to Physical AT)

Axe: (Weapon Power * Random # from 1 to Physical AT)

Stick: Magical AT * Weapon's power (Range 2 [4 directions])

Spear: Physical AT * Weapon's power (Range 2 [4 directions])

Musical Instrument: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr (range 3)

Dictionary: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr  (range 3)

Cloth: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr (range 2)

Bag: ([PhysAT / 2] + 1) * WP

[2.2] zodiac for weapon attacks
      =========================

All weapon attacks involve (multiplier) * Weapon Power.  The
Zodiac compatibility works as follows

Good:     [multiplier + (multiplier/4)] * Weapon Power
Bad:      [multiplier - (multiplier/4)] * Weapon Power
Best:     [multiplier + (multiplier/2)] * Weapon Power
Worst:    [multiplier - (multiplier/2)] * Weapon Power

[3.1] faith-based attacks
      ===================

For faith-based, standard magical attacks,

Damage = Q * MA * CFa * TFa  [always round down]
         ------------------
               10000      

where:
- 'Q' is the damage multiplier peculiar to the spell, 
- 'MA' is the caster's Magical AT, 
- 'CFa' is the caster's Faith, and 
- 'TFa' is the target's Faith.

How to use the chart:  Let's say you want to calculate the damage from
a 'Dark Holy' spell from a character with 15 Magic AT and 80 Faith,
targeting a character with 64 Faith and normal Zodiac compatibility.  Look 
up 'Dark Holy' on the chart, and you find that its multiplier is 37.  
So, substitute the numbers into the above formula:

Damage = 37 * 15 * 80 * 64   2,841,600
         ----------------- = --------- = 284.16 [round down] = 284 HP.
               10000           10000

For Zodiac compatibility , just multiply the damage by the Zodiac 
Multiplier (see [1.2]) and round down.

           |_ \     (100)       /     \ 100   100     /  _|

(if those ASCII parentheses and brackets show up funny, the formula
 written out on one line is
 [((CFa * TFa * PM) / 100) + ((CFa/100) * (TFa/100) * MA)] ).

where PM is a percentage multiplier peculiar to the spell;
CFa is the caster's faith;
TFa is the target's faith.
[The 40 is arbitrarily chosen to simplify the P.M. numbers]

for instance, if you wanted to cast 'Frog' on a character with 50 Faith 
with a Wizard with 75 faith and 14 Magic AT, then you would first look up 
the multiplier for 'Frog' (1.2).  Then substitute:

[((CFa * TFa * PM) / 100) + ((CFa/100) * (TFa/100) * MA)] =
[((75 * 50 * 1.2) / 100) + ((.75) * (.50) * 14)] =
[45 + 5.25] = [50.25] = 50%

++ DON'T forget to ALSO multiply by the evade percents M.SEV, M.CEV and
   M.AEV (convert them to decimals first ... i.e., 40% M.SEV = .40) of
   the target you are casting the spell on.  

++ ZODIAC SIGNS are also a factor:  simply multiply the percentage by
   the Zodiac Multiplier (see [1.2]).

______________
[5.1] draw out
      ========

Damage from Draw Out attacks is calculated based on the user's Magic AT:

draw out skill  result {Range/Effect}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asura           Damage =  8 * Mag AT {A/3}
Koutetsu        Damage = 12 * Mag AT {A/3}
Bizen Boat      Damage to MP = 4 * Mag AT {A/3}
Murasame        Healing = 12 * Mag AT {A/3}
Heaven's Cloud  Damage = 14 * Mag AT, may cause Slow {A/3}
Muramasa        Damage = 18 * Mag AT, may cause Confuse/Death Sentence {A/3}
Kikuichimoji    Damage = 16 * Mag AT {4dir/8}
Masamune        Add: Regen and Haste {A/3}
Chirijiraden    Damage = 30 * Mag AT {A/3}

ZODIAC: let 'n' be the constant that is multiplied by Mag AT in the
Draw Out equation.  So,
Good compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility:   Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT


___________
[5.2] throw
      =====

'Throw' damage is calculated by:

Damage = (Speed * [PA / 20]) * (Thrown Weapon's Power)

'Speed' is the thrower's speed, and 'Weapon's Power' is the power of the
thrown weapon (press 'select' on a weapon's name to find out its power).
'PA' is the thrower's physical AT.

ZODIAC: let 'n' be (Speed * [PA / 20]):
Good compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Weapon Power
Bad compatibility:   Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Weapon Power
Best compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Weapon Power
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Weapon Power


_______________
[5.3] punch art
      =========

Spin Fist      Damage = PA * [PA / 2]
Repeating Fist Expected Damage = PA * 7.5
Wave Fist      Damage = PA * ([PA / 2] + 1)
Earth Slash    Damage = PA * [PA / 2]   {earth}
Secret Fist    Success% = MA + 50
Chakra         Recovery = (5 * PA) HP; [5 * PA / 2] MP
Revive         Success% = PA + 70

ZODIAC: For success% of Secret Fist and Revive, simply multiply the
percentage by the appropriate Zodiac Multiplier (see [1.2]).  For
the techniques based on physical attack, let 'n' be the part of the
equation by which PA is multiplied:
Good compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility:   Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT


If the user of Punch Art has the 'Martial Arts' ability (i.e.,
Monk, Archaic Demon, Ultima Demon, Apanda, Byblos, or anyone
with Martial Arts equipped as a support ability), then there
are bonuses, as follow:

Spin Fist      Damage = Normal Damage * 1.5
Repeating Fist Expected Damage = Normal Expected Damage * 1.25
Wave Fist      Damage = Normal Damage * 1.25
Earth Slash    Damage = Normal Damage * 1.5
Secret Fist    Chance = Normal Chance + [MA / 2]%
Chakra         Recovery = Normal Recovery * 1.5
Revive         Chance = Normal Chance + [PA / 2]%


___________
[5.4] steal
      =====

Success % =  (K + Stealer's Speed) * [Evasion Factor]

- K is a number that varies for the different 'Steal' commands:

command        K value
~~~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~
Steal Helmet     40
Steal Armor      35
Steal Shield     35
Steal Weapon     30
Steal Accessory  40
Steal Exp.       70
Gil Taking       90

'Steal Heart' uses a different scheme:

command       success%
~~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steal Heart   (Stealer's MA + 50) * [Evasion Factor]


calculating 'evasion factor'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evasion for steal depends on two factors: (1) the target's physical S-EV, 
(2) the position where the thief is relative to the target.

1. Convert physical S-EV percentage to a decimal (e.g., 24% = 0.24).
2. If the thief is directly behind the target, then evasion factor = 1.
   If the thief is to the left or the right of the target, then evasion 
   factor =  (1.00 - S.EV)
   If the thief is facing the target, then evasion factor = 
   (1.00 - S.EV) * 5/6

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appropriate Zodiac
Multiplier.

[5.5] battle skill
      ============

Success % =  (Caster's PA + K) * [Evasion Factor]
 
- K is a number that varies for the different 'Battle Skill' commands:

command        K value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~
Head Break     59
Armor Break    54
Shield Break   60
Weapon Break   44
Magic Break    50
Speed Break    50
Power Break    50
Mind Break     50

Calculating 'Evasion Factor'
Evasion for Battle Skill depends on two factors: (1) the target's physical 
S-EV, (2) the position where the caster is relative to the target.

1. Convert physical S-EV percentage to a decimal (e.g., 24% = 0.24).
2. If the caster is directly behind the target, then evasion factor = 1.
   If the caster is to the left or the right of the target, then evasion 
    factor = (1.00 - S.EV)
   If the caster is facing the target, then evasion factor = 
   (1.00 - S.EV) * 5/6

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appropriate Zodiac
Multiplier.


________________
[5.6] talk skill
      ==========

Success % =  Caster's MA + K * [Evasion factor]
- K is a number that varies for the different 'Talk Skill' commands:

command        K value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~
Invitation     20
Persuade       30
Preach         50
Threaten       70
Praise         50
Solution       70
Death Sentence 30
Negotiate      60
Insult         40
Mimic Daravon  40

Calculating 'Evasion Factor'
1. Convert the target's A-EV and S-EV to decimals (50% = .50).
2. Subtract the target's magical S-EV from 1.00.  Call this 'A'
3. Subtract the target's magical A-EV from 1.00.  Call this 'B'
4. Evasion factor = [A * B]

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appopriate Zodiac
Multiplier.

______________
[5.8] geomancy
      ========

Damage from Geomancy is equal to:

([PA / 2] + 1) * MA

This is the equation for all Elemental abilities.  However, damage
may be modified by the specific elemental properties of the spell
if the target is weak / strong against certain elements (see [1.6]).

ZODIAC: let 'n' = ([PA /2] + 1):
Good compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility:   Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT



___________
[5.9] truth
      =====

The Heaven Knight's 'Truth' spells are dependent on only the magic
AT of the caster.  All Truth spells have a range/effect of {4/2}
and will fire a random number of times at random squares in the
affected region.

spell name      effect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heaven Thunder  Damage: ([MA/2] + 4) * MA (Lightning)
Asura           Damage: ([MA/2] + 5) * MA (Fire)
Diamond Sword   Damage: ([MA/2] + 5) * MA (Wind)
Hydragon Pit    Damage: ([MA/2] + 6) * MA (Water)
Space Storage   Damage: ([MA/2] + 3) * MA (add: numerous ailments)
Sky Demon       Damage: ([MA/2] +10) * MA (Earth)

ZODIAC: let 'n' = everything in the equation that is multiplied by MA
Good compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility:   Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility:  Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT


_______________
[5.10] un-truth
       ========

The Hell Knight's 'Un-truth' attacks are very odd in that they
use a sort of 'backward version' of the normal, faith-based
magic formula.  The formula for Un-truth damage is:

         (100 - CFa) * (100 - TFa) * MA * K
Damage = ---------------------------------- [always round down]
                      10000

where, CFa is the caster's Faith
       TFa is the target's Faith
       MA is the caster's Magic AT
       K is a constant multiplier dependent on the spell being cast
         (see the table below for values of K).

-- meaning, Un-truth does more damage when the caster and/or the
target of the spell have low Faith.

The range and effect of all Un-truth spells is the same as that of
their 'Truth' counterparts:  {4/2}, hitting a random number of times
on random squares of the affected area.

spell name           K-value & other properties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heaven Thunder Back  19 (Lightning)
Asura Back           21 (Fire)
Diamond Sword Back   23 (Wind)
Dragon Pit Back      26 (Water)
Space Storage Back   16 (add: numerous ailments)
Sky Demon Back       36 (Earth)

- 'Un-Truth' still will do 0 damage to someone with 'Innocent'
  status.

NOTES:
In the 'Used By' column, '1' indicates that the lowest class of
monster uses it, '2' indicates middle class, and '3' indicates
highest class (e.g., '1' = Chocobo, '2' = Black Chocobo, '3' =
Red Chocobo).  A bracketed number ([3]) indicates that that
monster only can use the ability when standing next to someone
with 'Monster Skill'.

Skills without range and effect ('{R/E}') specified are {1/1}.
Formulas are for HP damage unless otherwise noted.
Formulas followed by the '%' sign are success rates of the attack.

Zodiac compatibility for monster skills work like all other skills.
In general:
Good compatibility:  damage or chance * 1.25
Bad compatibility:   damage or chance * 0.75
Best compatibility:  damage or chance * 1.50
Worst compatibility: damage or chance * 0.50

(there might be slight discrepancies due to rounding -- if you want
to find _exactly_ how the Zodiac is figured for a given attack, look
in the first sections of the FAQ at attacks with a similar formula.
However, the simple multiplication by 1.25, 0.75, 1.50, or 0.50 will
give you a close enough number that it's not worth listing the way
that the Zodiac is done for every single attack.)
