Unimplemented Game Mechanics

Other stuff I'm not sure where to put.

- See DoT damage within your chat log.
"name suffers x points of damage from Poison."


- A new equip slot, Amulet? Localized as "Periapt."


- The ability to change party loot configuration, including the assigning of a "loot master."


- The ability to use an action called "Inscribe" on finished items when crafting. The JP description says it is carved into the item, so it's probably your name. Description of action:
"Inscribe your finished product."


- Battle regimens will state in the chat log the amount of increased damage of actions when used.
Battle Regimen bonus! Damage increased by x%.


- Some kind of counter? Message:
Counter! Name hits enemy. Damage increased by x%. Accuracy increased by x%.

Along with this, messages stating that "counter" and "counter support" for "name" is no longer valid. Counter seems to be an ability to counter, and an action called cover (which already exists?) allows you to counter for someone else. I know there's an action called Cover already, but this is something different. Could be old and scrapped.


- An action called "Expedite." It requires 50% of cast completion, and can't be performed on certain actions. Could be a new class skill, an unimplemented existing class skill, or scrapped.


- Magical shields. Also, glowing shields.
"name is enveloped in a magic shield."
"You are already using a magical shield."
"name's magical shield effect wears off."
"name's shield begins to glow."
"name's shield ceases to glow."


- The ability to "go all out?" Chat log message:
"name goes all out!"


- Stealth. Pugilist's unimplemented "Steal" skill references this:


"Rifle through an enemy's belongings, stealing a random item. Chance of success increases when stealthed."




There's an unimplemented skill called "Coeurl Step" that may actually be stealth. In addition to this, there are three types of "stealth attacks." Message:
"Name's stealth/overt/subtle attack hits name for x points of damage."


- Envenom, a damage over time.
"name suffers x points of damage from Envenom."


- Unknown stuff:
"Your destructive urges swell within you!"
"Your begin to anticipate your enemy's actions!"
"Your body courses with energy!"
"You are storing energy..."
