-''This page describes the game mechanics of techniques. [[:Category:Technique]] is the list of techniques that have been designed and [[Creating Techniques]] is the guide to making your own techniques.''
+#REDIRECT[[Category:Technique]]
-Techniques are discrete attacks, blocks, tricks and other manoeuvres that tuxemon perform in combat.
-= How they work =
-=== Acquisition ===
-There are two main options for how techniques are acquired:
-# A tuxemon species knows a certain number of techniques automatically, and they might be able to learn or acquire others from another list.
-# A tuxemon species learns certain techniques at certain levels, and they might be able to learn or acquire others from another list.
-=== Availability ===
-To keep things managable, tuxemon should probably only have access to a finite set of techniques in combat. There are two options:
-# When a tuxemon learns a new technique but they are already at their limit, they have to forget an old technique
-# Out of battle, a tuxemon trainer can choose their tuxemon's techniques, from the list of all techniques that they know
-The latter is how [[EvoCreo]] does it. However, there is some concern that this takes an interesting decision away from the player.
-=== Additional ===
-Tuxemon could learn additional techniques from a number of sources:
-* [[Technical Manual]]s
-* [[Move Module]]s
-* Other tuxemon
-Both options are attractive, and having both lets comparisons be made between them: pay a corporation for a Technical Manual, or share knowledge between tuxemon for no charge.
-=== Uses ===
-There are also a number of ways of pacing how many times a technique can be used:
-* Each technique could have a fixed number of uses, reset by a rest.
-* Each technique could have a fixed number of uses, reset when the encounter ends.
-* Techniques could each have a cost in mana - once mana is too low, they are not available for use. Tuxemon might recover mana over time
-* Techniques could have a recharge time: once used, it takes them a while to be available for use again.
-* Techniques could be used any number of times, perhaps because there is a scissors-paper-rock dynamic where over-using a particular technique is dangerous.
-* Techniques could be rationed in another way, like [[Dynamons World]]'s technique card deck.
-I think recharging is the best way of doing it.
-=== Varieties ===
-There are a number of types of technique you can have:
-* Distinguishing between attacks based on how they use Stats - Melee (the attacking tuxemon bodily strikes the target in close quarters) and Ranged (the attacking tuxemon using a projectile, energy beam, pseudopod or other remote attack)
-* Having a mega technique and a healing technique in dedicated slots, like [[EvoCreo]] does
-* Additional generic techniques, like Defend
-=== Elements ===
-The most obvious is for techniques to have [[Types]] that match the types that monsters can have, including having two types if such a thing is possible for monsters.
-However, there are a few other options:
-* Only being able to have one type.
-* An additional type, "Aether", that takes on the user tuxemon's type(s). This allows for generic attacks like tackles and bites to not belong to a particular type.
-* Special techniques - which don't involve attacks - don't need a type at all.
-* Techniques could have completely different types to the types that monsters have. See [[Type]]s for more discussion.
-=== Options ===
-There could be any number of options for techniques. Some are below under Other options.
-= Current and proposed implementation =
-''[https://forum.tuxemon.org/thread.php?pid=2258 Original thread]''
-Technique effects are defined in the [http://www.tuxemon.org/docs/core.components.monster.html#core.components.monster.Technique core.components.monster.Technique] class.
-Each tuxemon species has three techniques all individuals of that species automatically know. The final fourth slot can be filled with a technique from a [[Technical Manual]] or one taught by a fellow tuxemon, or left empty.
-Each technique has a recharge time between one Round (i.e. available from the next round) and four Rounds.
-Each technique has the following options:
-* Element (one or two; only for attacks - all special techniques get the Aether element): Element(s) determine whether the target is weak or resistant to the attack.
-* Accuracy (0 to 100): Accuracy is the chance of the technique succeeding.
-* Potency (0 to 100; only for technqiues with a User or Target Condition, or both): Potency is the chance of the conditions being applied.
-* User Condition: The condition that the user receives (if Potency is successful)
-* Target Condition: The condition that the target receives (if Potency is successful)
-* Power (0 to 3; 0 for non-attacks): The damage multiplier
-* Healing Power (0 to 16): The healing multiplier
-* Fast: Whether the user's Speed is increased for determining who goes first
-* Area (only for attacks): Whether the attack does damage even if the technique fails
-* Recharge: How many Rounds you have to wait before it can be used again
-* Range (Melee, Ranged, Touch, Reach, Reliable; only for attacks): Which Stats are compared for calculating damage
-== Attack Properties ==
-'''Fast''' attacks multiply the user's Speed by 1.5 for this Round.
-'''Area''' attacks do half Damage on a Miss. No Conditions on a Miss, however.
-== Attack Categories ==
-[[Techniques]] have one of six '''attack categories''':
-* '''Special:''' Any technique that does not involve an attack
-* '''Melee:''' Multiply damage by User Melee/Target Armour
-* '''Ranged:''' Multiply damage by User Ranged/Target Dodge
-* '''Touch:''' Multiply damage by User Melee/Target Dodge
-* '''Reach:''' Multiply damage by User Ranged/Target Armour
-* '''Reliable:''' Multiply by 1
-== Damage formula ==
-    (User Melee or Ranged/Target Armour or Dodge OR 1 if Reliable) * (7 + User Level) * Technique Power * Weakness or Resistance Multiplier
-= Other options =
-* [[Other technique ideas]]
-* [[Technique design space]]
