Girl on Fire got lit by Ghost on first turn. Enemies don't attack until after the party gets a chance to move and attack, right?
So is this a bug?

Enemies can move before you do if their DEX is higher. Shades in particular have a quite high DEX of 25 (the same as the Troll, in fact!), and some decent range to their first spell, so they'll be landing a lot of first hits.
On the bright side, this will usually put them in prime range to hit them back with your Hunter, and their 35 HP/14 DEF leaves them wide open to getting oneshotted in return. Even if your Hunter is burned, she can still drop him with a Long Shot.
I was wondering what the Dex stat is for.
And sorta inconsistent issue. If I Learn some of the meter improvement skills, the HP or MP +5, then go into a battle, sometimes my HP or MP don't start the battle at full?
And some of my characters have weird entries in their Status menu in battle. I forget what they are, but they're all lowercase?
