kinda hate it when a turn-based rpg has stamina in addition to mana

i literally tried to proof of concept this in a free rpg maker thing.

it was so janky i actually had to create a dummy/nontargetable enemy and put it into every single battle so it could regenerate the party's stamina, because i couldn't find a way to actually script that in otherwise. it worked. ugly, but it worked.

my experience with trying to make that not play like ass taught me that all you can really do with a number that goes up and down is change how the player interacts with it. you don't enter a punished state for depleting your mana, but you should for depleting your stamina. also, you should have some way to spend all of your stamina in one round. that shit is fun.

actually, the regeneration is another differentiating thing you get to play with, because that's not usually a thing with mp.
