Topic: Protect+Shell Success Behavior

[Deathlike2]

This may be surprising for some of you...

The spells Protect and Shell boost stats.. however it is not guarenteed if your Will/Spirit is low (stares at Tellah  ).

In order to ensure perfect success, a Will/Spirit of 64 is required for100% success (at least for Protect... I bet Shell is on the same boat). The method for which I tested this was Yang's Gird/Endure command. I tweaked his Will to modify the chance of success. If Yang fails to execute Gird/Endure because he has maxed defense, it would determine the required Will for success.

Fuck Tellah and his lame magic power.

Does anyone know what the effect is of casting Protect/Shell with multiple targets? Does it reduce the chance of success or the length that it lasts?

AFAIK, there is no split target power loss, but I personally can't tell. The effect of the spell lasts for the duration of battle.

The chance of success most definately is affected by multitargeting (in general this is true, unless you are using a spell with a hit rate of 100%,
which this is not).
