blessfrey milestones

This is a list of everything I need to add before the Blessfrey is complete, version by version. I can add more in subsequent updates, but I have to draw the line somewhere. The list is broken into versions.

Focus and finish the game!

★ you can disable skills on your party's skillbar, so that the AI will not use them. You can still manually use them while they are disabled. The AI will consider them again for usage when the player removes the disable.
☆ disabled skills are not affected by keywords that affect cooldown time.
★ skills already on cooldown (let's say 19 more seconds) do not have their cooldown reduced by a disable (let's say - disable all skills for 5 seconds)
☆ skills already on cooldown (let's say 3 more seconds) have their cooldown increased by a disable (let's say - disable all skills for 5 seconds)
★ Additional recharge time and disabling duration are unaffected by skills that reduce recharge time. For instance, casting Meteor Shower (60s recharge time) after Glyph of Sacrifice (+30s recharge time) while under Serpent's Quickness (33% recharge time reduction) will lead to a 2/3*60s+30s=70s recharge time instead of 2/3*(60s+30s)=60s recharge time.
• weapon skills will be disabled if the correct weapon is not equipped. A sword skill will be disabled if a pistol is equipped.

. skill fails when target became invalid during activation. A target can become invalid if you are using a resurrection skill on a dead character that becomes alive before you finish activating. Also, a target may complete an "untargetability" skill like SF or VoS while your skill is activating.
★ skill fails when the skill becomes disabled. (Blackout was used on you during activating your skill.)
• when skill fails, activation stops, and skill recharges. Skill cost is not refunded, and failed attacks still counts as an attack.
☆ press cancel to cancel skill during activation duration
☆ skills have an activation time
• activation time begins as soon as a character selects the skill
☆ activated skills are executed
• activation time is halted and skill fails if it is interrupted or canceled
• After the activation time of a skill with a stated activation time, there will be an aftercast delay of 3/4s before the skill user can act again
☆ attack skills with unstated activation time will use the first half of the character's next attack interval. The remaining half will be the time it takes the character to return to the neutral state. For Body Blow, it takes half of 1.33 seconds for axe-wielders and half of 1.75 seconds for hammer-wielders.
• Skills with an explicit activation time - halfway through the interval, a melee attack will connect with its target and a ranged attack will launch its projectile. The remaining half will be used to return to a neutral state.
. Attack skills bypass the return-to-neutral delay from the previous attack.
★ Pet attacks function as shouts.
• Effects and Skills like Migraine that affect the activation time of any skill will not affect the activation time of attack skills.
• Attack skills are affected by IAS effects.
. Spells and Signets use the stated activation time. Spell casting time can be modified by half casting time weapon upgrades, Fast Casting, and skills or effects that explicitly reduce it (e.g. Healer's Boon). Signets are also affected by Fast Casting and a different set of skills or effects. In addition, all signets and nearly all spells suffer from aftercast delay.
• Flash enchantment spells have no activation time or aftercast delay but cannot be activated while activating other skills or while tripped
★ Shouts can be activated immediately, outside the queue, in the middle of other actions, or while tripped
. Character cannot be tripped while tripped
• Pet attacks can be activated immediately, outside the queue, in the middle of other actions, or while tripped
• Stances can be activated immediately, outside the queue, in the middle of other actions, or while tripped
☆ Some skills have no specified activation time but suffer aftercast delay. Others cannot be activated in mid-action even though they have no aftercast delay.
☆ Ranger skills with activation times have aftercast delay to prevent damage compression/spikes
• A skill with an explicit activation time can be used to bypass the second half of a previous attack interval (after that attack has hit). Use Executioner's Strike after Eviscerate at normal speed will land 1.33 after Eviscerate, while Agonizing Chop would have landed 1/2 second after Eviscerate.
★ spirit loss - target loses spirit
• attacks have a chance to be critical
. when - when X, do Y
★ when - the next 3 times X happens, do Y
. when - when X, if Y, do Z
. skills have classifications. Skill, Poison, Blessing, etc.
★ keywords have a duration or other exit condition
☆ when - after X seconds, do Y
★ modify critical hit rate - skill guarantees next attack crits, perk guarantees every other attack is a crit
★ modify miss rate (default is 0%, but some skills make missing possible)
. projectiles
• projectiles travel to target then bestow the effect they carry
★ projectiles can be obstructed
• projectiles are obstructed when the target is behind an impenetrable barrier at time of fire
• projectiles can stray
★ projectiles stray when the target is moving toward an obstructed location
★ projectiles can be dodged
• projectiles are dodged when the target kites, causing the projectile to land in the place where the target would have been
. projectiles can be obstructed
• shouts have no activation time
☆ shouts can be used during the activation time of another skill or when tripped.
. multiple shouts can be active at the same time
☆ Unlike most skills, if target is not within range, the character will not try to get closer to use the skill. The skill will not activate and warn you that target is out of range.
. 'skill' is the most basic skill type.
★ Attack skill -> Pet Attacks, Melee Attacks, Ranged Attacks
. Melee Attack -> Axe Attack, Dagger Attack, etc
. Ranged Attack -> Bow attack, spear attack, etc
• Blessing
★ Chant
. Condition
☆ Disguise
. Echo
★ Elite
★ Environment Effect

☆ Spell -> Enchantment spell, hex spell, item spell, ward spell, weapon spell, well spell
. Enchantment spell -> Flash Enchantment spell
☆ Stance
★ Title
★ Trap
★ the skill queue tracks skills you attempt to activate before completing your current action. queued skills have a rippling effect on their icon in your skill bar.
☆ only one skill can be queued. Attempting another will drop the first from the queue.
★ queued skills begin activating as soon as activation completed for the first skill or after any aftercast delay ends.
. aftercast delay is 3/4s.
. if you try to use a skill on an out-of-range target, the skill will queue and you will pathfind towards the target. the skill will begin activating as soon as you are within range. (shouts fail if target is out of range)

stacks

☆ effects stack by adding totals from all sources (equipment, skills, environment, etc) unless the effect is capped, the source of the contribution has a cap to its contribution, or a more complex formula is involved.
. armor bonuses stack, but some are labeled "non-stacking"
☆ The strongest nonstacking bonus takes precedence, but all penalties will be applied. Sup and Major will not both apply their boost, even if they still exact -35 and -75 life penalties.
★ headgear attribute bonus always stacks
★ AR and damage reduction equipment mods do not stack. They only apply locally to the part of the body protected by the piece of equipment.
. life and spirit bonuses on armor stack, but runes of vigor do not.
☆ runes and inscriptions that provide condition reduction stack with each other. Runes that provide the same condition reduction do not stack.
• life and spirit bonuses on weapons stack
. weapon mods that provide condition reduction stack with each other
★ weapon mods that affect casting and recharge times stack but are capped.
★ skill effects typically do not stack. The most recent or most powerful application takes precedence.
. The beneficial effects of hex spells on different targets stack. Life Siphon on two foes will provide twice as much life regen.
★ the beneficial effects of hex spells on the same target stack. AP provides each spellcaster the spirit gain and skill recharge when the foe dies.
☆ characters can only be affected by one stance
• characters can only be affected by one preparation
☆ characters can only be affected by one party bonus
. characters can only be affected by one glyph
★ characters can only be affected by one weapon spell
☆ characters can only be affected by one form
★ pets can only be affected by one pet attack buff

• (for the above, activating a new one of the same type will override any existing ones
. a new binding ritual or nature ritual of an existing ally type will kill the existing ally spirit.
☆ random chances stack multiplicatively and are capped at 100%.
• In most cases, a cap can be exceeded by a single source.
★ Effects that increase/decrease attack speed actually decrease/increase the time taken to attack, resulting in a significantly greater change than stated in skill descriptions.
• Attack Speed: +33% to -50%
. Movement Speed: +34% to -50%
★ Block or Miss: 100% to 0% | stacks multiplicatively
☆ Healing: +???% to -40%
. Life/Spirit Regen: +10 to -10 | apply to single effects not just multiple sources
☆ Recharge Time: ??? to -50% | single skill effect can bypass this limit; item mods cannot stack beyond this limit
★ Activation Time: +150% to -25% | Fast Casting does not count toward this cap
. Armor Rating: +25 to 60 AR | The positive cap is only applied to bonus armor. Core and special armor are uncapped. Negative bonus armor can only reduce your armor to 60, or to your core armor rating, if that is below 60.
• Attribute: 20 to 0 | These caps apply to single effects not just multiple sources. 21 can be reached using weapons with a chance of boosting an attribute.
• Damage multipliers: ? to ?
★ Projectile travel speed: +100% to -50%
★ Maximum life: ? to 1 | The minimum cap also applies to single effects.
☆ Condition duration: ? to 0s | the cap only applies to the remaining duration. Conditions can be re-applied indefinitely. A zero-second duration condition will trigger Fragility once instead of twice. (skill causes damage upon infliction and recovery of a new condition)
• Combat experience: 350% to ???%
• The maximum number of maintained enchantments is limited only by your spirit regen. You can never have less than -10 regen. Any maintained enchantments in excess of that cap will be lost. Monks can maintain 14 enchantments.
• character cannot have duplicate status effects applied. The old will not trigger completion or removal events ('when burning ends, do X' -- in this case, you must wait for the character to stop burning, no matter where the last second of burning originated from). The new counts as an additional application (in case there is like 'when bleeding is applied on you three separate times'). If values are different, the rules will be defined by a case-by-case basis for which overwrites the other.
. stances end before being reapplied

. Blind visual effect - hazy black over head
• Burning visual effect - engulfed in flame
☆ adjacent on user affects directly around the user
☆ adjacent on target affects directly around target
☆ line = cause a long, linear effect on the ground like Lightning Javelin. (Send out a lightning javelin that strikes for 40 damage if it hits. It strikes all foes between you and your target.
• Adjacent is 166 gwinches, roughly 1/6 the size of the aggro bubble, larger than melee/touch range but smaller than nearby (about 2/3)
. Adjacent to target is the standard area of effect for melee attacks, touch skills, and scythe radius. Skills that target others and say 'adjacent' usually use this range.
• nearby = 252 gwinches, roughly 1/4 the size of the aggro bubble or 1.5x adjacent.
★ Spirit range affects an area of 2512 gwinches unless otherwise stated (slightly less than 2.5x the aggro bubble and slightly more than half of party range. This is about the size of the compass center to halfway between the end of the aggro bubble and the compass's end. This is the minimum distance at which any two spirits with the same name created by the same party can exist.
★ Party area: 5020 gwinches, only for skills that affect hte whole pary. It is 12% larger than the compass. Party members outside of this range turn gray on the party window. The is the maximum range enchantments can be maintained. Cautery Signet and Mystic Healing have an unlimited range.
☆ adjacent melee touch - 144 gwinches - 0% of danger zone - spells, melee weapons, other skills - touch skills are 86.746987951% closer than adjacent range

• untargeted shouts affect every applicable target within earshot
. line of sight is the line between something and its target
★ targeted shouts have spell range by default
• If the target is out of range when activating a skill, your character will path toward the target (rather than the closest location where the target would be in range), stopping to activate it shortly after entering range. Manually moving in range will give better results when trying to pull enemies and avoid over-aggro or aggroing before using your first skill
. characters can have patrol routes
☆ The Danger Zone is more commonly known as the "aggro bubble", the white translucent circle around your character on the radar. It determines when NPCs become aware of, and subsequently hostile to, their foes. Exceptions to subsequent hostility include most characters with level 1-2 in starting areas, like Juvenile Bladed Termites in Normal mode.
