KBackFire

XP & VX versions

Introduction

Have you ever dreamed of letting your heroes suffer the consequences of using a skill that is too powerful for such weaklings?

Well, now Alex aka Aluxes knows how it feels like.
By the way, I don't know how the ghosts can stand him even for a second!

It is not a plug & play script because you need to configure the KBackFire module first to make it work properly.  Don't worry pals! It's quite easy to tweak it!

Since version 1.0.1 you can also specify the Skill Backfire's Hit Rate!

Double Update!

Now both Alex and Ralph can begin a new journey in their own RGSS worlds!
Sadly, their bad reputation precedes them... just as expected.

Since version 1.0.1 you can also specify the Skill Backfire's Hit Rate!  

 Well, I guess that's pretty much all, folks!
