Let's suppose one is in the early process of game design.

Wouldn't your reflexes be more dependent on mental faculties? Your reflexes, at their core is your brain responding to stimuli.

>influenced by speed, or agility

Those are the same thing, OP.
Do you mean speed vs dexterity?

why should your game have "RPG elements" at all?

If was really designing game nobody look at stats first. Is main combat system and moving fun first. Then think how add stats to make systems more fun. Stats build upon base not make for stats.

because he wants it to have them, stupid

don't reply to me

Split Dex and Agi, especially if they are going to also determine move order or speed or something. Dex/Agi tends to be the most OP stat because so much hinges on it.

Reflexes are just techniques you've heavily trained that become muscle memory. They should come from feats not stats.

I'm assuming OP means "evasiveness" when he says "reflexes", so in that case it should be agility. Still, why would a game have both an agility and speed stat? It would be redundant.

Okay, let me explain. The reason it's got RPG elements is because I'm designing player-controlled creatures. You can think of it as being vaguely similar to pokemon, if that helps you.

But I want to design one with a deeper system of stats. It's going to be less fantasy and more aimed towards scifi. Sharks are pretty quick, but I'm not sure you'd consider it agile, for example. Meanwhile cats are agile as fuck.

Evasiveness is part of it. Countering can be part of it too. I'm not focusing solely on combat when it comes to these attributes

>>381617450
I would say countering would be better suited to another stat or as a learned ability with a set chance to happen. If it dodge AND counter chances were tied to one stat, that would be a bit unbalanced, in my opinion.

>>381617450
>not just RNG dodging, but also RNG countering
gross

>>381617685
Both aren't necessarily going to be going on at the same time, unbunch your panties.

Dodge or counter would both be tied to to reflexes in some way, is my point. Maybe I'll make them abilities that can be gained - I don't know - but they won't be immediate and basic elements of the game.

And maybe you missed the part where I said it was early in the process? I'm just asking a question about attribute relations, but thanks for your answer.

>>381617685
Ability checks will also be related to reflexes. Dodge/counter may not even make it into the final design. See how you shouldn't be making assumptions?

>>381615920
Get the fuck rid of speed. Just have agility. Then you won't have to choose

Pokemon combat has always centered around the moves and the type chart, the stats aside from speed and HP were pretty much irrelevant until the Phys/Special split. All of the RNG shit just made the games worse to play because it took the strategy out of them.
If you wanted to make a more deeper designed combat, why not play with the idea of priority a bit more? Maybe add moves that can break through protect or absorb a hit and turn it into grey health which steadily heals when they're switched out or not being hit? There's plenty of systems you could pull from fighting games without just resorting to adding more RNG.

It actually factored into critical hit chance in the first generation.
