Okay, so this is my first Tutorial, so I hope it works well for you guys.

Basically the point of this Tutorial is to show you how to make your characters get a powerful attack in when they're at Low Health. This helps the player decide if they want to stay at high HP, or risk going to low HP in hopes that the attack will kill their enemies. Now, in this tutorial you'll only be allowed to use the Special Attack once per battle, but you could change that if you want and make it so you can SPAM it like Final Fantasy VIII.

First what you need to do is make a New Battle Command, (Like Attack, Magic, Defend, Item, etc.) we'll call this Ability Deathblow and it'll be set as a Skill Subset. Now, you have to make an Attack to go into the Battle Command, and all the other skills have to be set into other Skill Subsets. Now, after you make the New Attack, add it to the character and go to Common Events.

Make 2 Events, Limit ON and Limit OFF.

In Limit ON, Choose to remove all Battle Commands, and then add Deathblow, along with everything else they had before, except Attack.

In Limit OFF, do the same but switch Deathblow with Attack.


Now, you need to go to your Monster Groups, and make two New Pages. On the first Page, it'll only come into effect if the Hero's HP is between 1% and 15%. Here you'll make a Forked Condition, the first fork will be if the Switch [Hero Used Deathblow] is off. If it is off, then you call the Event: Limit ON. If it's on, then you don't do anything.

On the other Page, you'll make it only come into effect when the Hero uses Deathblow. After they use the Deathblow, you'll call the Event: Limit OFF as well as turn on the switch [Hero Used Deathblow].

And there, you should now have a working Limit System, kind of like Final Fantasy VIII.
