Alright, after sinking some more time into this, i have to say that poison NEEDS to be nerfed. a 50 something damage hit along with an immediate proc of 40? Not fun, and a pretty major difficulty spike going from the slimes to the woods. i understand that slimeform gets some minor poison resist, but ash does not. Adding a small blurb when he tell you to prepare reminding you to stock up on antidotes would be nice.
Maybe also change poisons damage from a flat number to a % based on max hp, like 15-20 % of max hp as damage, that way its still a threat but it wont end your character in 3 turns or less.
Maybe also add some skills to the base adventurer form, like a taunt skill, or a guard stance. since we cant equip our allies (that I've found, or maybe there's a bug there) it would go a long way to making things much more manageable, particularly against tough fights.
Lastly, healing items should also be tweaked, maybe take a page out of the Tales series and have healing items be limited amount in inventory, but heal a large % or max hp, like the 30% apple gel. Would save the need to go potion, high potion, mega potion, etc etc and make healing items a bit more tactical in their use. If not then maybe a bump from 100 to 150, so they're more relevant in these first 2 dgns we have access to.
All in all its shaping up to be a really good game, the only minor gripes i have is lack of party customization and no skill descriptions for party skills (have no idea what the diff between ephemeral edge and sneak attack is)
But im excited for more, will prolly pledge once my finanaces get in order, thank you for your hard work
Edit: found how to equip allies, its by clicking their portrait with the equip window open. Will also ask to make left and right arrows in window for a slightly easier time.
