EDIT About Stat Progression and Decay (this is the newest section):

Stat Progression - Wiki

New stat progression: Everyone knows just how vast stat points are right now. On my character alone, the total of my stat points is: 26 (armour) + 27 (sidearm) + 26 (auxiliary) + 36 (primary) + 132 (levels) = 247 stat points. That can be a maxed out stat, or two stats at 120 points each. WOW. All stats except for energy and health stop progressing at 165 stat points. The current issue in today's game-play is different power levels between players. Because some skills actually improve with these stats, you have a reason to worry about damage and protecting your health from such attacks. I am proposing an idea: change the way stat progressions work so that numerous stat points do not sum up quickly to handicap a player's damage output or damage input. The way decay works, is that culminating stat points (the more stats you add), become less effective the larger the number. This can divert higher level players to focus just because they want the most out of their stats. This is not productive.

New Stat Progression



If you can see the pattern, all stats after the 20th row gain a boost. This is level scaling. For every 20 levels worth in stat points (approx. 140 stat points), the range or effectiveness of stats increases by a small amount.

To explain the Sidearm and Auxiliary progression in a few statements, DEX, TEC, and SUP apply 50% of the normal range that something like STR has per every 7 stat points. For Sidearms, the damage range of DEX and TEC combine to make one totalled range. Same goes for Auxiliaries, who's damage range is a combo of TEC and SUP. This way, you can NOT abuse one stat to make a weapon OP (Primaries are an exception to this rule).

What would you suggest for health and energy (HP/MP) in accordance to stat progressions? 1 stat point for every 1 health point, or 1 stat point for every 2 health points, or 3 or 4 or more?

EDIT About Primary damage (newer than newest):

Strike is the one skill of all skills that has absolute zero cooldown. Also, since blocking is purely a system of random number drawing, Strike is a reliable form of constant damage output. I have a proposal for penalizing Striking.

Exhaustion: For every successive Strike, the damage of Strike is temporarily reduced. Strike damage is restored once a turn has been spent doing anything other than Striking. The maximum damage reduction is 33%, at 11% damage reduction for every successive Strike (3 Strikes in a row will reduce Strike damage by 33% until Strike is not used).

Passive Auxiallry damage increase- Increased attack on primary and gun is no offence a terriable idea, these build are bad enough even if mercs are considered weak balance will be highly likely to be worsened.
