I've coded the 80% of skills, but still need to test them in a battle. I like this "Kill Them All" skill by Michelle
It will be quite different from my fantasy RPG since for example in the skill above I'll need to count the number of bullets left. The reloading will be automatic once you run out of bullets, but if for example you use that skill and had 1 bullet left... epic fail. I hope people will understand how this work and not be pissed (maybe I'll add some extra tutorial stuff in the early battles).

Lol I think Milo has the most funny skills of the game. Like this Mushrooms one

In case of Michelle, if you dual wield it will empty both weapons when you use the Kill Them All skill? If so she needs a pair of very high capacity pistols or maybe some high capacity grenade launcher if new ranks of the skill add other weapon groups like it seems.
Milos Mushroom skill goes along well with his overall appearance. Seems just fitting for him. How would you describe him personally wise? And with whom you had the most problems finding fitting skills?

That's a good question but I don't know yet since I have to implement the new battle system I will tweak the skill if necessary.
About Milo he is a bit of a crazy guy, but I think people will find him funny. Others might hate him though. Also, there's a past between him and Rebecca which will make things interesting...
The person I have most problems finding fitting skills so far is Tom, but I think I know how I'm going to fix it (self/group morale skills and protection).

You bet!
Milo is officially the hottest redhead from all of your games now.

Cool
Meanwhile Rebecca got the right passive skill for her...

trying to make each character behave differently in battle. Of course you could even not pick this skill line... but would be a pity!

[jack1974]

finished both Rebecca and Philipp skillsets, so there are only 2 left (plus the MC). For Philipp I wanted to make a fun skill like this "drunk shot". Seemed appropriate for him
Please note that "miss" doesn't mean doing 0 damage, but half damage of what would normally do. Otherwise would suck

[Troyen]

Dunno how you'd fit it on there, but an attack that does less damage than normal is often called a "glancing blow". Maybe that would be less confusing than "miss-but-not-really-a-miss"?

[jack1974]

Yes probably will use that term instead since it's less confusing. Thanks!

[Jaeger]

So Drunk Shot either hits the intended target for reduced damage or hits a random target? Thematically, it's quite amusing, although I can't help but question how reliable it will be to worth investing points. If there is only one target left, will always be a glancing blow?
