Here is a test for Reimu's homing amulet shot. It works pretty well, haven't seen it miss yet.

I was going to type up all the notes I had about Reimu's character stats, growth, and spells to give a clear idea about how the characters will work, but I left my notebook with all that at work. Instead let's just talk about the actual stats.

Most roguelikes are going with strength, intelligence, dexterity, wisdom, and charisma, but honestly I think most of those are garbage for this game. It doesn't matter how smart or how wise you are when it comes to spell cards and bombs. And charisma is the worst stat of any game ever. Utterly useless, why does it matter how well I can talk to people when 90% of the game is spend killing people? And the other thing is how often times only one stat is really important for your character. I can't count how many times I've rolled a Valkyrie in NetHack and disregarded Int, Wis, and Chr because they are all useless to my character.

So I'm not using most of those stats, instead I'm rolling a few of my own. There are only three primary stats, and each will be important for every character to have, although each character has different starting stats and growth per level. The stats are Strength, Pride, and Elegance. Seems strange at first, but to me it seems oddly fitting for the 2hus. Like for example, Yuugi's biggest stat would be STR, Remilia's would be a split PRD/ELG, some 2hus like Marisa or Cirno would have very low ELG, maybe like Parsee would have low PRD. Anyway here are what each stat gives.

Strength
+max health
+health regen rate
+melee damage

Pride
+max spirit (mana)
+faster spirit regen
+max capacity (power, exactly like in the actual Touhou games)
+damage reduction (flat block, not like armor)

Elegance
+evasion chance
+graze chance
+buy/sell price
+armor

Awesome, it's great. Most 2hus can't really fit within the rogue archtype, so coming up with one is pretty nice to have.
