Act as a Systems Designer. Design a 'Loot Drop' system for an ARPG. 1. Define the 'Rarity Tiers' (Common, Rare, Legendary, Set). 2. Create a 'Prefix/Suffix' system for randomized stats. 3. Design a 'Loot Filter' logic for end-game players. 4. Propose a 'Crafting System' (How players upgrade loot). 5. Calculate 'Drop Rates' for a boss so the player feels rewarded but not overwhelmed with gear. Provide this in a logic-flow for a developer.

Act as a Card Game Designer. I am designing a Trading Card Game. 1. Define the 'Resource System' (e.g., Mana, Energy, Action Points). 2. Design 5 'Keyword' mechanics (e.g., Haste, Taunt, Lifelink). 3. Balance a 'Basic' card vs. an 'Epic' card using a points-based system. 4. Propose a 'Standard Deck' composition (e.g., ratio of creatures to spells). 5. Draft a 'Banned/Restricted' philosophy to prevent a stale meta.

Act as a Mechanics Designer. Design a 'Skill Tree' for a [Class Name, e.g., Shadow Assassin]. 1. Create 3 branches (e.g., Stealth, Burst Damage, Utility). 2. Define 5 skills per branch with clear progression (Active vs. Passive). 3. Include a 'Capstone' ultimate ability for each branch. 4. Balance the 'Mana/Energy Cost' vs. cooldowns. 5. Propose 3 'Synergies' between different skills in the tree.

Act as a Systems Designer. Help me balance the combat for a [Genre] game. 1. Define the base stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed). 2. Create a 'Damage Formula' (e.g., Flat vs. Percentage-based mitigation). 3. Balance 3 classes/weapons against each other (Rock-Paper-Scissors). 4. Calculate 'Time-to-Kill' (TTK) benchmarks for trash mobs vs. bosses. Provide the results in a table comparing Level 1 vs. Level 50 scaling.
