[XP] Level-Based Skill Base Power

[lonely_cubone]

Hi everybody! I know I haven't been here for ages, but I was hoping I could get some help with this . I'm looking for a script that makes the base power of a skill scale linearly with the level of the actor who used it. For example, the base power is 10 at level 1, 12 at level 2, 14 at level 3, etc.

I figured a script like this must exist already, but I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd ask here. If nobody knows of a script that does this, could someone please make it if it wouldn't be too difficult?

Paste below default scripts.
Like this? Note that I had to make an edit to how the skill's damage is calculated--unless you didn't change the default formula in your game.

Thank you, both of you! To be honest, the two Vulfman scripts look more complicated than I actually need, so I think I'll use KK20's script, but those scripts could be really useful in the future.

EDIT: Actually, I have a question. KK20, in your example config, the bonus value for Heal is positive. Would that make the skill heal more HP with each level, or would it actually make it heal less (and eventually maybe do damage)?

[KK20]

Oh yeah. You should use a negative value for healing skills.
