When the entire party is dead, they wake up back at the starting town with no money. However, items and XP remain.

			==Random Variables==
			All random variables required can be expressed in the form of dice roles. For example, the Trusty Troubadour has damage of 1-10, or 1d10(a ten-sided dice) A +1 Trusty Troubadour would have damage 2-11, or 1+1d10.

	'''Thoughts:''' Potential balance issues: If we make the AI base it’s decisions entirely on AC, then after a point it will be attacking only the weaker, lesser Aced characters like the mage. But if we use something like damage, the mage will also always be targeted because the spells have much higher damage levels. This is something we’ll have to work on.

			==Display==
			Each time a character attacks, their avatar will appear on the side of the screen(left for good guys, right for badguys) The attacker will make some sort of comment and the target will reply with how much damage they were dealt. Additionally, a damage number will appear over or in front of the enemy displayed on the combat screen.

			===AOE===
			Whenever AOE(Area of Effect) damage occurs, the display will select one person from each side to show up on the sides and make their comments, while the rest of the representations will just have damage numbers appear in front or above them.

			AOE is an all-or-nothing effect, either it hits all enemies or none, same with the party.

	==Weapons and Items==		==Weapons and Items==
	Each item has the potential to add bonuses to all stats. Each item has 7 properties associated with it, a + to each stat, and then AC or Damage depending on whether or not it is a weapon. The last property is item-type, determining where it gets equipped(weapon slot, shield slot, etc).		Each item has the potential to add bonuses to all stats. Each item has 8 properties associated with it, a + to each stat, and then AC, then Damage depending on whether or not it is a weapon, and a property for weapon-type. The last property is item-type, determining where it gets equipped(weapon slot, shield slot, etc).

	~~An item will not necessarily bestow stat bonuses but still has that property, thus making the~~ +0.		*Name
			*+STR
			*+ACC
			*+MGC
			*+AC
			*DMG
			*Attack-type
			*Item-Type

	Only weapons have damage. The base damage is determined by a random function and there can also be a + attached. For example a +1 Longsword does 2-8+1 damage.		Examples:

			*Longsword
			*+0
			*+0
			*+0
			*+0
			*1d8
			*Melee
			*Weapon

			Stats are always expressed in the order Strength, Accuracy,

			*Chainmail of Strength
			*+4
			*+0
			*+0
			*+6
			*0
			*NA
			*Armor

			An item will not necessarily bestow stat bonuses but still has that property, thus making the +0. The reason for giving each item each value is to make it easier from a coding standpoint.

			Only weapons have damage. The base damage is determined by a random function and there can also be a + attached. For example a +1 Longsword does 2-8+1 damage. Other items will use that slot for the To-Hit bonus.

	Thoughts: it might be interesting if we could add a random loot-generator to produce items for us based on a simple formulae. We’ll determine this in coding.

	==Damage Calculation==		===Equip Slots===
	Base Damage:		Each character has 5 equip slots: Main Hand, Shield, Armor, Helm, and Jewelry.
	~~Combat~~ weights are ~~0.3 for attack~~ and ~~0.5 for the relevant~~ stat.
	~~MELEE: A melee attack uses weighted values from Strength and Attack~~		==Melee and Ranged Attacks==
	~~RANGED: A ranged attack uses weighted values from Accuracy and Attack~~
	(~~Note: all~~ numbers ~~to be~~ rounded to the nearest whole)		===To-Hit===
			For calculating melee and ranged attacks, we will use a simplified d20 system. A random function will pick a number between 1 and 20, then add the character's To-Hit bonus. If the resulting number is greater than 10 the attack is a success and damage is calculated.

			====Base To-Hit====
			*Raymond - 3
			*Jaime - 1

			===Damage Calculation===
			'''Base Damage:'''
			Damage weights are calculated by character and appropriate stat.
			*Raymond - 0.75 STR
			*Jaime - 0.45 ACC
			(All numbers rounded to the nearest whole)

	Variable Damage:		'''Variable Damage:'''
	A weapon has a variable number(such as 2-8) for damage, this is calculated on each attack.		A weapon has a variable number(such as 2-8) for damage, this is calculated on each attack.

	Final Damage:		'''Final Damage:'''
	~~Once~~ damage ~~has been totaled,~~ 90% of the target enemy’s Armor Class is ~~subtracted,~~ and damage ~~is applied~~.		Final damage is Base Damage + Variable Damage - 90% of the target enemy’s Armor Class.

			==Magic==
			Magic does not use To-Hit(all spells automatically hit) nor does it use AC. Magic damage is a variable specific to the chosen spell and always does that much damage.

	Magic ~~Damage:~~		===Magic Stat===
	Magic ~~is based entirely around~~ spell-~~damage specific~~ to ~~each~~ spell ~~and ignores AC entirely~~. ~~Spell damage~~ is ~~variable and~~ does not ~~draw on any stats~~.		Aria gets 3.5x her stat in Magic as Maximum SP(spell-points), thus magic-boosting items give her additional spell points.

			If an item with a bonus to magic were to be un-equipped while Aria has full SP, she looses the difference in spell-points. If it is then re-equipped, she does not gain those spell points back.

	==Player Damage==		==Player Damage==
	The player characters take damage differently in one key way: for the players, 100% of AC is subtracted from Final Damage, allowing the players to become potentially invulnerable.
