This script allows your RPG Maker XP project to have state effects that stack like in Pokemon or MegaTen.
It does this by applying a more powerful version of the state whenever the specified state already exists.
class RPG::State

# States are applied left to right, starting at the state before the =>.

# The example provided allows for negative states (stat-downs) to be
# counteracted by positive states (stat-ups)

20 => [24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18],

Instructions
A hash of states with tiers needs to be provided at the beginning of the script. The key is the default state, the one that is applied when no states of this type are currently attached to the battler. The value is an array of the different tiers, in order of power from left to right.
In the demo provided, a way to have negative effects cancel out positive effects is shown.
