In the beginning of the game, your combat strength is 0. As you acquire weapons and defeat enemies, you gain points. When you are wounded, you will lose points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hit Points (HP)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Alisa and party\u2019s stamina. In the beginning of the game, your stamina is 10. Stamina will increase with healing medicines (like PelorieMate and Roganine) and by visiting the hospital. When attacked by enemies, stamina will decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magic Points (MP)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Alisa and party\u2019s magic power (supernatural abilities; ESP). In the beginning of the game, your magic power is 0. When you defeat enemies, your points will increase (there are times it won\u2019t). When you use magic, your points will decrease. <em>Please note, the required points for casting magic and the points consumed are different. Please follow the instructions in the text.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Currency (MESETA)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Algol Star System, the currency is called Meseta. At the beginning you have 0 MESETA. Most enemies carry treasure chests, and if you win the battle you can find money in those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25a0 Item List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During her journey, Alisa will come into possession of weapons and other items that you will need to write down to keep track of. This get these items either by buying, trading, or by winning in battle. When obtaining something, please write it down on your <a href=\"https:\/\/yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/itemlist.png\">Item List<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25a0 A\u2013J Alphabet Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ac-alphabet-check.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1725\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the game, you will occasionally run into text that says \u201c<strong>Action Chart &#8211; Check A<\/strong>\u201d or  \u201c<strong>Action Chart &#8211; Check B<\/strong>\u201d, etc. This means you need check off the appropriate box on the <strong>Alphabet Checklist (A-J) <\/strong>table on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/translations\/futabasha1\/7-action-chart\/\">Action Chart<\/a>.  These check marks are very important for you to keep track of your progress, so please don&#8217;t forget to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25a0 Regarding Hospitals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of treating injuries suffered during travels, several cities have a hospital. It is only possible to visit the Hospital if \u201c(Hospital treatment is available)\u201d is written. To go or not to go is your choice. If you decide to go, please follow the instructions in the book. Also, if it is written that you pay <strong>10 MESETA <\/strong>to add <strong>2 HP,<\/strong> then you may not pay <strong>20 MESETA<\/strong> to add <strong>4 HP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"howtobattle\">3. How to Battle<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bptable-300x122-1.png\">Battle Point Table<\/a><\/strong> (BPT) must be filled out first before you can do any battles. Battling is just a matter of adding your enemy&#8217;s <strong>CP<\/strong> + <strong>BP<\/strong> versus your own <strong>CP<\/strong> + <strong>BP. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"extrabig\">Sample battle prompt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enemy Sharkin: 5 + BP (1A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alisa: CP + BP (2F)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who will win? Let&#8217;s practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bptablesample.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4465\" style=\"object-fit:cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sample Battle Point Table that is filled out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Find the Enemy&#8217;s Power<\/strong>. The CP is given to us as 5. To find the BP, just look at 1A on the BPT and you will see it is 3. So, 5 + 3 = 8. The Sharkin\u2019s combined strength is then 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find Alisa&#8217;s power.<\/strong> Alisa&#8217;s CP starts at 0. As you go on, you will get to add points to it, which you should make sure to keep track of. For example, let&#8217;s say Alisa&#8217;s gotten her CP up to 4. Then find out what number is 2F on the BPT &#8212; in this case it is 5. Add the 4 and 5 to find Alisa&#8217;s combined strength is 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharkin&#8217;s strength of 8 versus Alisa&#8217;s strength of 9 means Alisa wins. In the text this will mean that Alisa has &#8220;<strong>Higher P than the enemy<\/strong>&#8220;. In case it is a draw, please shift both parties <strong>BP <\/strong>one step. A becomes B, F become G, and so on. Furthermore, please note that J should become A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 Since you will fill in and erase the forms many times, please use a pencil. Also, it might be easier to use a notebook for note taking rather than writing directly into the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"1-prologue\/\">\u2190 1: Prologue<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"3-character-introduction\/\">3: Characters \u2192<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><strong>TABLE OF CONTENTS: <\/strong><br>\ud83d\udcd6<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/translations\/futabasha1\/1-prologue\/\">1: Prologue<\/a> \ud83d\udcdc<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumpoplala.com\/phantasystar\/translations\/futabasha1\/2-how-to-play-using-this-book\/\">2.
