Feature Request: Stand Down (skip turn button)

[OpticSugar]

I've been wanting this ability for a while. It sounds silly at first but there are many instances where I wish I could skip an individual character's attack. It's usually when the enemy is down to one and he's near death, and I want to go another round or two to be able to revive fallen characters, or heal up my team. Currently the only way to do something like this is to spend energy on an ability that does no damage to the enemy. This is a strategic ability that we should have the choice to make imho. It shouldn't be that hard to implement and it would bring more strategic thinking into the game.

Of course, the button should be smaller and off to the side somewhere where it can't be accidentally hit... maybe a confirmation dialogue comes up each time just to be safe?

Maybe this was already considered by the developers and they chose not to have this (as it would make things too easy) but it seems silly to me that we can't choose NOT to attack.

What do you think? Cast your vote above ^

Voted yes, but that's cause I had to choose one

It both would make sense in the future when things get somehow harder, and also would damage the balance right now.

[Vaseodin]

I think it would make things much too easy.

[talpuz]

Too easy how?

I really wanted this when I was going through the last stages of underworld madness, because of the frickin' blue child of the damned bug. I think it makes perfect sense to have that option.

[MadMax]

There are a lot of times I'd like to have one character or another stand down for a turn. For example, when health is rock bottom and the enemies have reflect shield up.

I love this idea.

Useful when the final Boss cast Ghost for 5 turns..... (jus kidding, but would be useful)

[PsychoEddie]

It would make the game really easy.

Of course, instead also having the enemy AI do that as well may make things very interesting.

I must be dumb. How would this make the game "really easy"?

It would make achieving some skulls much easier. For example the 10 power abilities or waiting to heal your health up above the required percentage.

[OpticSugar]

Then make the skull achievements have the added requirement of "without skipping a turn"... Now they're just as hard as they always were. Problem solved.

Any other ways that it would make the game too easy that we can think of?
