This plugin allows you to add a variety of effects to your items and skills to reward the player for good (or bad) gameplay. Certain effects can only trigger under specific conditions, such as defeating the target, landing a critical hit, or striking the target’s weakness. After these conditions have been met, the effects can range from refunding skill costs, adding buffs, removing debuffs, or even applying states.

*NOTE*: This plugin is best used with RPG Maker MV version 1.5.0+. You can still use this plugin with a lower version number, but you will have a much harder time altering the plugin parameters without it.
