Editing Other technique ideas

'''This is a grab-bag of technique ideas that have gathered over the years, from many contributors, some of whom are no longer involved in the project. Before implementing any particular idea, we should discuss on GitHub and Discord whether it's helpful.'''

== Battlefield Effect ==

Some techniques cause battlefield effects, which apply to both monsters in play, and remain in place until replaced by another battlefield effect. 

* '''Resist X (Resist Fire, Resist Water, Resist Wood, Resist Metal, Resist Fire):''' Both monsters halve damage from the specified type. 

== Technique Riders ==
* Charge Up: The technique has no effect this turn. The rest of the technique takes place on the attacker's next turn.
* Shelter: The technique has no effect this turn, except the attacker cannot be hit by attacks except Area attacks. The rest of the technique takes place on the attacker's next turn.
* Backlash #: The user takes #/16 of their hit point maximum in damage (unmodified).
* Recoil #: The user takes #/16 of their hit point maximum in damage (unmodified), if they hit. 
* Disarm: The target loses its item, and the other creature picks it up if it is not holding an item. Otherwise, it is not accessible until the end of the battle. In any case, all items are returned to their original owner at the end of the battle.
* Scope: The opponent's stats are revealed.
* Contrary Healing: This technique heals the enemy, not the user. (How much it heals is determined by healing_power)
* 1HKO: If the target is lower level than the attacker, they are reduced to 0 HP. 
* Proportional Damage #: This technique does damage to the enemy equal to #/16 of the enemy's maximum HP.
* Proportional Damage (User) #: This technique does damage to the enemy equal to #/16 of the user's maximum HP.
* Multiattack (Random): Do one attack (25% chance), two attacks (50% chance) or four attacks (25% chance).
* Multiattack #: Do # attacks.

=== Vaguer ideas ===
* Stall or stop swap-outs, or punish them
* High critical hit ratio (currently we don't have any critical hits)
* Change the user’s Type to (a) the target’s Type, (b) this technique’s Type, (c) the Type of the last technique used on the user
* Interact with items - eating your opponent's consumable item, stop opponent from using items, etc
* Target: Own Team (target one or all of your benched creatures)
* Switch out one monster for another 
* Multiattack (Uses): Do # attacks, where # is the number of times in this combat that the technique has already been used.

== Conditions ==

* Earthy, Watery, Metallic, Woody, Fiery: That Type replaces your other type(s) '''(implemented as switch and reverse)'''
* Feedback: Each time you are hit by a ranged or reach move, the attacker takes 1/8th your maximum HP in damage  '''(implemented)'''
* Flame Shield: Creatures that hit you with a melee or touch attack take 1/16 your maximum hit points in damage. '''(implemented as elemental shield)'''
* Flinching: 50% chance to miss your next turn. If you do miss your next turn, this condition ends. '''(implemented)'''
* Harpooned: If you swap out, take damage equal to 1/8th your maximum HP '''(implemented)'''
* Lockdown: Cannot use items  '''(implemented)'''
* Prickly: Each time you are hit by a melee or touch move, the attacker takes 1/8th your maximum HP in damage  '''(implemented)'''
* Wasting: Take #/16 of your maximum HP in damage each turn, where # = the number of turns that you have had this condition. '''(implemented)'''
* Wild: 1/4 chance each turn that instead of using the chosen technique, you take 1/8 your maximum HP in unmodified damage. '''(implemented)'''
* Enlarged: Your maximum and current HP increase by 1/4, but you take that much damage when you lose this condition '''(reconsidered, really necessary?)'''
* Charmed: Techniques have a 50% chance of not working if they target the enemy.
* Frightened: 1/8 chance each turn that you swap out for a randomly chosen alternative tuxemon on your team. If there are no others, you attempt to retreat. 
* Retaliate: Keep track of all damage you take between entering this state and next doing damage. You do additional damage equal to damage taken. '''(proposed implementation)'''
* Revenge Stance: The next time you are attacked, your enemy takes the same amount of damage that you do. You heal as much damage as you dealt. '''(proposed implementation)'''
* Delay: Do nothing on the first turn that you become Slow. On each later round, do the thing that you were commanded to do one round earlier. '''(changed into "delay", the original was "slow", already used)'''
* Spiky: If an opponent swaps in, they take damage equal to 1/8th your maximum HP

== Healing ==

* Healing (Reliable): This technique heals the user exactly its Power in damage, unmodified.
* Healing (Proportional, User) #: This technique heals the user equal to #/16 of the user's maximum HP.
* Healing (Proportional, Enemy) #: This technique heals the user equal to #/16 of the enemy's maximum HP.

== Expanding the Concept ==
* “if” statements, e.g. “if target Asleep, user heals 4 maximum HP” . If enemy attacks this round, X. Otherwise Y. If attack misses, user takes X damage
* fields, e.g. “user heals DAMAGE DONE BY THIS ATT” or “do 50% of enemy’s CURRENT HP in dmg” or “user heals USER’S CURRENT DAMAGE and enemy takes USER’S CURRENT DAMAGE”)
* tags, e.g. Aerial (can hit Swooping), Underground (can hit Hibernate), Gaze, Light, Sound (some are immune to conditions/pseudo-c/pro-c from Sound techniques, and take half damage from them), etc

= Ideas for particular techniques =
* Verdigris (Resist Metal), Drought (Resist Water), Salt (Resist Wood), Sinkhole (Resist Earth), Steel Beams (Resist Fire). All Aether techniques with accuracy 100% and no recharge time. 
* '''Evil Eye:''' Damage. If you have previously used [[Glower]] this combat, do an additional 50% damage.
* '''Eruption:''' The attack occurs as normal in the first round, and then in each of the following four rounds, unless interrupted (e.g. by a miss). Each subsequent attack has double the power of the one before it. Each attack has a 10% chance of imposing the Burn condition.
* '''Swallow:''' The attack occurs as normal in the first round, and then in each of the following four rounds, unless interrupted (e.g. by a miss). Each subsequent attack has double the power of the one before it.
* '''Reclaim Relic (Memnomnom):''' If the opponent uses an item this turn, Memnomnom receives the effect instead of the target (or there is no effect if Memnomnom is not an eligible target). The item is consumed if it would normally be consumed. 

= Field techniques =

[[Beyond_Episode_1#Field_techniques|Field techniques]] would be usable outside of combat.

= Body Shapes and Subelements =

As a tuxemon levels up, they learn new techniques at fixed levels, based on their species, [[Sub-Elements]] and [[Body Types]]. These are their "nature techniques", because they are innate to the tuxemon.

Tuxemon can also learn new techniques from [[Combat Codex]]es. They can also be taught techniques from other tuxemon that know that technique ([[Technique Teachers]]). These are their "nurture techniques", because they are taught. 

Tuxemon have a finite list of nurture techniques that they can learn, also based on Life Stage, Sub-Element and Body Type. These are distinct from their nature techniques. 

= Effects system =

[[Sanglorian]]'s original proposal. Spun off into [[Effects system]] page because it was quite involved.
