Thanx!
In my resources (mostly D&D) there's just not many rules about fleeing from a battle. I will certainly look into that but in the case that functionality gets in, it will probably use some combination of abilities (quickness?) and some skill (survival kind of). I will probably use the average of 2 party members with the highest skill or something like that. I'm all about providing simpler mechanics, which in turn are dumbed down versions of D&D.
This mechanic would be pretty good for turn-based games where monsters are spawned immediately before you (wizardry? final fantasy?). But this game have a fixed number of monsters and placed in specific position, which makes the flee-to-where question difficult to answer. Moving to the start of level still doesn't seem intuitive enough (run through other monsters?)
There's still the difficulty of fleeing i.e. against a boss entity that would be extremely hard and/or impossible. Skill checking is still under development..
Against a monster such as Doppelganger (level 10), which still needs some fine tuning to be more lethal, that would seem difficult as well and trying to flee would probably be proven more fatal than trying to battle.
All in all, not an easy feature to add especially on a time of usability tuning, bug fixing and stuff :) I 'll still look into it. I have to check what other RPGs do on that department as well, especially games closer to this one.
