This plugin creates a new gameplay mechanic where players have to choose which skills to bring into battle. They can select what skills to bring from the skill menu. In addition to being able to do that, equipped skills can also add bonuses such as stats and/or passive states.
Note: During Battle Test, equip skill slots will be disabled for the sake of better battle testing control.
ATTENTION: In real playthroughs, this plugin removes ALL skill types in battle except for “Skills” which have only the equipped skills within it. This is NOT a bug. If skill types remained in battle, their skills would still be selectable, which would defeat the purpose of this plugin.

Notetags
The following notetags adjust various aspects about equippable battle skills.
Actor Notetag:
<Starting Skill Slots: x>
This sets the actor’s starting skill slots to x amount. This value will not allow the actor to bypass the Maximum Skills limit.
Skill Notetags:
<Equip stat: +x>
<Equip stat: -x>
Replace ‘stat’ with ‘HP’, ‘MP’, ‘ATK’, ‘DEF’, ‘MAT’, ‘MDF’, ‘AGI’, or ‘LUK’ to have that stat increase or decrease by x amount while the skill is equipped for battle.
<Equip State: x>
<Equip State: x, x, x>
<Equip State: x through x>
This causes the actor to be affected by state x while the skill is equipped for battle.
<Unequippable>
This skill cannot be equipped no matter what.
<All Access Equippable>
This makes the skill equippable whether the actor has the available skill type needed for the skill or not.
<Access Only Equippable>
This makes the skill equippable only for actors with the specific skill type. Actors without access to the skill type cannot equip it.
Class, Skill, Weapon, Armor, and State Notetags:
<Equip Skill Slots: +x>
<Equip Skill Slots: -x>
This increases or decreases the amount of skills the actor can equip for battle by x. This value will not allow the actor to bypass the Maximum Skills Limit.
