Introduction
This script restores yet another feature that was present in RPG Maker 2000 and 2003, but is missing in RPG Maker XP, HP absorption skills. To use this script, add the script to your script editor. To set up a skill that absorbs HP, make a damage skill, then link it to a common event (like the sample code in the script).
