/*:
* @plugindesc ver1.0 - Allows Devs to calculate the base damage for skills and show them in description windows.
 * @author Maliki79
 *
 * @param variableUsed
 * @desc The desired Variable to be used for this plugin.
 * Default: 1
 * @default 1
 *
 * @help To use this plugin, you must first choose a dedicated variable from your list in the database.
 * (It might be a good idea to name it in your database as well.)
 *
 * Once done, simply add the variable shortcut to the description of the skill.
 * for example:  Skill does the following base damage: \V[1]
 * assuming the variable used is number 1 in the database.
 *
 * For those that incorporate target stats that need to be removed from the base damage calulations or have multiple hits etc.,
 * another damage formula may be used.
 * use the following notetag in your skill notes:
 * <baseDamageForm: formula>
 * This formula follows the same rules as the normal one, but should not refer to the target at all.
 * (Obviously, this does not take variance into account when showing the Base Power.)
