Body descriptions

ExPar: [#img] is obsolete, use [#embed] instead

• Notation - letters (Uppercase are prefixes, lowercase are suffixes):
  • T = top, B = bottom
  • S = skirt (loose fitting on bottom half), C = cape/cloak (loose fitting on top half)
  • L = left side only, R = right side only (mirrored on diagram due to stage left vs. character left)
  • f = front only, b = back only
  • s = open at sides; combining with f/b makes it wrap around the sides instead
  • l/r = like s, but affect left/right side only
• Notation - numbers
  • 0 = waistband
  • 1 = chest/pelvis
  • 2 = shoulder/hip
  • 3 = biceps/thigh
  • 4 = forearm/shin
  • 5 = wrist/ankle
  • 6 = palm/sole (and equivalent areas on back)
  • 7 = fingers/toes (not shown in diagram due to lack of space)
• Examples:
  • T0-2 = short sleeved shirt
  • T1-B1 = leotard
  • T3-6 = Hatsune Miku's sleeves
  • B1 = panties
  • S1 = miniskirt
  • S1-2 = Arle's skirt
  • S1-3 = Nanako's skirt
  • T1-S0s-S5s = Chinadress
  • C1b-S3b = Arle's YON cape

Elemental Resistances

• For a material defense against a volatile attack, damage multiplier is the appropriate cell of the table.
  • ex: arcane attacks rock => 200% effectiveness
• For a volatile defense against a material attack, damage multiplier is the reciprocal of the appropriate cell of the table.
  • ex: bone attacks wind => 33% effectiveness
• For a material attack against the same material defense, damage multiplier is always 1.
  • ex: flesh attacks flesh => 100% effectiveness
• For a material attack against a different material defense, damage multiplier is the bottom cell value for the defending material divided by the bottom cell value for the attacking material.
  • ex: bone attacks cloth => 2 ÷ ½ = 400% effectiveness
• For a volatile attack against the same volatile defense, damage multiplier is always -1 (the defender absorbs the entire attack).
  • ex: fire attacks fire => 100% of attack power absorbed into the defender's health
• For a volatile attack against a different volatile defense, damage multiplier is the rightmost cell value for the attacking material divided by the rightmost cell value for the defending material.
  • ex: psychic attacks searing => 2 ÷ 1½ = 133% effectiveness

Note that material defenses usually originate from a character's body/outfit, while volatile defenses usually originate from shields put up. Similarly, material attacks are usually performed with physical weapons, while volatile attacks are usually performed with magic or technology.
