Basically every weapon/ability has a base level (which i labeled each with)~
When someone chooses to attack someone else, their power level is compared to that of the other person in determining if the attack was successful or not~
Say someone with a sword lvl 3 attacks someone with a pistol lvl 5 then they would have a 30% chance of the attack being successful~
If it was someone with hand sonic lvl 4 fights someone with combat knives lvl 4 then there is a 50% chance of the attack being successful~
So the success chance of each attack is up to what the target has to defend themselves with~
There are power boosts which would give 1-2 levels and other stuff but how that turns out... depends xD
Student council has somewhat powerful abilities though SSS can overpower them quite easily... if they manage to find them before taking too many casualties~ Then you will be part of a third faction which would appear later in the game if a certain requirement is fulfilled... i might make another requirement in case this one is rended unfulfillable due to certain circumstances...
