OK.

Revan, does the leader pass the turn only to an allied character? Or together with their creatures, if any?

Maybe just remove the accuracy, evasion, and crit system in the next games. Add min-max damage and the gameplay will be like in Heroes. Something to think about.

Yin passes their turn to Ambrose.
Ambrose attacks Lorican again with a deadly strike. AP (1/5).
Lorican takes (crit) 510 damage (-280/230) and leaves the battle.
Rezara, Alaria, and Gingkink each lose 10 spirit.

Only to one.

Although wait, they don't have their own initiative. So to both.

We'll play until the point where I have to calculate battles, and I won't even know how my own mechanic works.

And I had such a system. There, defense doesn't work the way we're used to in Exps (a static value subtracted from damage, or a percentage modifier), but as a barrier. Got plate armor? You have a conditional barrier for the battle. Got a shield? An additional barrier. And you can take a defensive stance as a separate action, gaining a certain amount of defense until the start of the next turn.

Alaria moves 6 cells to the right and throws a dagger at the wyvern.

So true. I'm reading my own system in the latest expedition and thinking: "what the hell is going on here?"

Alaria moves and throws knives at the wyvern.
The wyvern takes (crit) 100-25=75 damage (40/200).

If that's the one where you could play as anyone, and half the group went as simple human warriors, then I didn't quite understand that system either.

Honestly, in this expedition the mechanics are significantly simpler than in almost all of mine that went before Ikazkan.

Especially if you recall RI3.

Yin stands off to the side watching the fight, occasionally shouting something over there...🤣

Revan, Shattering isn't against the rules, is it? Because I'm looking and realizing that the best option right now is against Ambrose.

Keep in mind that in this prologue there's a mountain of named characters with a ton of abilities and unique gear. In regular battles, the second half is usually basic mobs with identical stats and equipment, plus one or two unique bosses.
