Out of Combat abilities in turn based system

cameronicle

Hi,

Trying to add out of combat abilities for party characters. The battle system is turn based.

Example: Paper Mario Hammer/Ground Pound/ etc. (Can hit certain switches, uncover secrets, progression upgrades)

One feature I'm particularly interesting in replicating is a "First Strike" system where you perform an extra attack if you hit an enemy out of combat (and vice versa)

one idea could be to add an ability and set it to be used in field only. once that ability is used on a target, set a game variable that you have performed a first strike once the battle starts check the first strike variable and give the player an extra turn in battle event
