VCM_MultipleGauges

Introduction

This plugin allows HP, MP, TP to be separated in several gauges. Those gauges may be set to limit the actor or enemy parameter's max increase and decrease in a single hit. This includes taking damage, being healed, regenerating, TP initialization, TP charge and skill costs. Number of gauges is set individually for each actor and enemy. If using the VCM_ActionPoints plugin, AP Gauges are also supported. Both appearance and functionality may be disabled.  No longer supported by the author.
