This is a list of attack bitsets affecting damage - simple OFF or ON settings. {{edit_bitsets}}

Some of these bitsets will be hidden if they have no effect, based on other damage settings which override them.

* Cure Instead of Harm
When this bitset is on, the attack will cure (increase) the target stat instead of damaging (decreasing) it, unless the target has the "Harmed by Cure" bit set (enemies only). (This works for any target stat, not just HP.)

* Divide Spread Damage
When the attack is targeted to more than one target, this will divide the damage evenly between them.

* Absorb Damage
Any damage dealt will be added to the attacker's target stat. If the attack increases the target stat then it will instead harm (decrease) the attacker's stat. (This works for any target stat, not just HP.)

* Ignore attacker's extra hits
Normally the attacker may repeat the attack several times according to their Extra Hits stat. Turning this bitset on makes the attack is not repeated even if the attacker has extra hits.
(There's also a global "Ignore extra Hits stat" bit which is equivalent to setting this bit on all attacks.)

* Show damage without inflicting
When this bitset is turned on, no damage will be done (or absorbed by attacker), but the amount of damage that would have been done will still be displayed. Revenge and thankvenge damage will not be remembered.
Turning on both "Show damage without inflicting" and "Don't display damage" is similar to "No Damage" attacks, except that the attack can still miss or fail.

* Reset target stat to max before hit
Causes the target stat of the attack's target to be reset to the maximum before any damage is dealt. This is most often used with attacks that change stats like strength or speed or defense to prevent the effect from stacking. This bitset is also useful for attacks that target the effect register, such as poison and stun. Displayed damage (and the revenge or thankvenge stored damage) will show only the amount of damage done after the reset, not the total change.

* Allow Cure to exceed maximum
When an attack cures (the "Cure instead of harm" bitset is on, or due to absorbing an element), this allows the target stat to be increased to more than its maximum. If absorbing damage, it also allows the attacker's stat to be increased past its maximum. (All hero stats except HP and MP are reset to their maximums when the battle ends.)

* Do not randomize
Normally damage is randomized (uniformly) to within plus or minus 20%. Turning this bitset on disables the randomization.

* Damage can be Zero
Normally the minimum amount of damage (or healing) that an attack can do is 1. This bitset allows damage to be 0.

* % based attacks damage instead of set
This bitset only affects attacks with percentage damage math. The percentage will be used as damage instead of setting the target stat to a percentage of its maximum value.

* Don't allow damage to exceed target stat
This bitset prevents the attack from doing any more damage than the target's target stat. For example, if an attack is capable of doing 100 damage, but the target only has 25 HP left, this bitset would limit the damage to 25. This also works for curing attacks. For example, if a cure spell can restore 100 HP, but the target is only 25 HP below max, this bitset will limit the cure to 25 HP. That means that when this bit is on, an attack can never increase a stat past its maximum. (This bitset also works for other target stats besides HP.)

* Healing poison causes regen, and reverse
Normally all status registers are capped to the maximum value (which means no effect). If this bit is set then attempting to heal the poison register above maximum will instead decrease the regen register by an equal amount, and vice versa. For example if 20 damage has been done to the poison register and it is healed by 50 then the poison is completely cured and the target gets 30 regen. This bit works for both attacker and target, and is particularly useful when either one absorbs damage.

* Ignore damage cap
When on, the global attack damage cap is ignored. It's set in the Stat Caps editor.
Note that damage caps never apply to attacks set to "Show damage without inflicting" or with damage type "Set stat to % of [current/max]".
