Note: This plugin is a part of the OctoPack Battler plugin set. Please keep in mind if you purchase this plugin, it will not deduct the price from the OctoPack Battler Sample Project if you wish to buy it later.

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that adds a Boost Point System to your game. This is a newly added mechanic that allows actors and enemies to temporarily power themselves up for the current turn by using a new resource called Boost Points. Boost Points are acquired at the end of each turn if the battler did not use Boost Points. While Boosted, actions can either deal more damage, hit more times, make buff/debuff effects last longer, and more. 

The Boost Point System plugin has many ways for you to customize it. Please go through the plugin's parameters to adjust the settings for your game.
