Test your damage

[Unknown]

Many people usually want to test their damage, so I've been thinking about creating an npc which allows you to type, for example, DEF, MDEF, Demi-Human Resistance, Elemental Resistance and VIT. Basically, everything that's linked to damage reduction. So, after typing these values, the npc becomes vulnerable to being attacked and records your hits damage. (Or else it summons a Demi-Human monster using the values you typed).

Would it be possible to create it and, eventually, improve the concept?

Thanks in advice!

That's an interesting idea for an NPC that allows players to test their damage reduction stats. It could be a fun and informative feature. Just be careful not to make the NPC too vulnerable - you wouldn't want players to get a perfect "purity" score by completely obliterating it, would you? Looking forward to seeing how you develop this concept further!

This would be needing source modification since we don't have a script like 'setiteminfo' / 'setitemscript'. My advise is create a calculator rather that would require you to provide your stats and your target stats, then it would calculate the damage that you can deal.

There are "test dummy" monsters in Prontera (as of relatively recently): npc/re/mobs/towns.txt
