The "Risk vs. Reward" Philosophy *In a 'Souls-like,' combat must be punishable but fair. Describe a specific mechanic you would design to encourage aggressive play (e.g., regaining health on hit or building a meter) without making the game too easy for skilled players.

Economy & Progression Curve *A player kills a Level 1 Skeleton and gets 50 XP. A player kills a Level 50 Boss and gets 50,000 XP. Briefly explain how you approach creating an Experience Curve or Economy Spreadsheet to ensure the player feels powerful but doesn't become over-leveled too quickly.

Communicating with Programmers *You have a great idea for a "Time-Rewind Ability." A programmer cannot code "Make it cool." How do you document this mechanic so the programmer knows exactly what to build? (e.g., Flowcharts, edge cases, cooldown logic).

Boss Fight Pacing & Telegraphing *Design a concept for a Boss Attack Pattern (Phase 1). Describe 3 distinct moves (e.g., AoE, Dash, Grab) and specifically describe the "Tell" (Telegraph) for each that allows the player to recognize and dodge the attack effectively.
