Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Blade Master Model 42]

I don't suppose anyone here knows how to work RPGMaker XP, do they?

[Sirus]

A very little bit. What are you trying to do?

[Blade Master Model 42]

A very little bit. What are you trying to do?

Well, I ran across a Fire Emblem creation kit called FEXP, so the only logical thing to do was get RPG Maker XP and remake FEF. Clearly.

I've figured out how to make a new map and how to put down tiles. That's about it so far.

Logical. Yes.

And you're about as far as I got
Oh, I managed to add entries to the database, characters and spells and stuff. I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to things like scripting though.

[Furtuka]

I know Reudh, Solifuge, and Neonivek have experience with rpgmaker,that's the only useful info I have though.

Oh apparently SC knows a bit according to forum search. Maybe he could help.

[freeformschooler]

Oh, that. I'd be willing to help if time allowed. You're working with a REALLY EXTENSIVE script-base. Fancy stuff!

Anyone want to make a shared Dropbox folder where we store the campaign files?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I may have said RMXP and totally meant RM2K. I'm not sure they're the same thing, or if what little I remember would even apply. That said, I would be willing to give it a shot if FFS - who is the better choice of assistant of the two of us, as he knows actual programming stuff - doesn't have time.

[Haspen]

RPG2k has event-based scripting.
RPGXP is both event-based and actually has scripting language called Ruby.
Never heard of FEXP, though.

In RPGXP I've done everything from database shenanigans to in-game cutscenes. However Ruby is black magic to me like any kind of programming.

[Haspen]

I'm processing the turn approximately 20 hours from now. If you have to, post for SC.

[IronyOwl]

Crap, I forgot to notice Derick moved to the wrong spot. You wanted to move in front of D, not to the side of D and in front of A, so we could still get two people on A.

Also hey, I never noticed/forgot that Marpa had Charisma too. That's handy.

Okay, number crunch.

With his switchblade, Chris can double the sentry for 20 damage total, 96% hit and 5% crit chance each time.
With Nosferatu, Riven can hit the sentry for 24, 78% hit and no crit chance. She'd heal to full if she did hit.
With her broadsword, Marpa can hit the sentry for 18, 77% hit and 1% crit.

If the archer counterattacks, she can hit Chris for 18 damage 71% of the time, with a 5% crit chance.
Riven she can hit for 18 damage 67% of the time, with an 8% crit chance.
Marpa she can hit for 10 damage 82% of the time, with a 2% crit chance.

EDIT: By counterattacks, I mainly mean survive to next round and retaliate, though having Riven attack from range and eating a counter so that Marpa can still get next to her and hopefully finish her off is an option.

So my general opinion is to send Riven in for the point-blank lifesteal, but Marpa's also a good option, especially if we want Riven to keep giving +10 Hit/Evade to the chokepoint. Chris isn't very tanky and can't do much against that padded armor, so I'd recommend leaving him in back.

[Culise]

Nah, that was intentional.  I suggested it earlier since anyone who goes after A is also in range of Elite Guard B.  It'll be bad enough with Derick and Chris, our dodgy sword-wielders, front and center.  Charisma only applies to allies, not the owner; putting Riven in melee range would be...painful, so to speak. 

EDIT:
Thinking about it further, Riven can't be killed by a single hit even if she misses at range, and connecting will eliminate Sentry A as well without a response should Chris go in first and soften her up.  That's true whether Nosferatu or Flux is used; Flux deals 2 less damage and gives another 10% hit chance, but with 38 HP, the damage loss is irrelevant. 

[Xanmyral]

Sounds like a master plan to me.

Riven's in range of Marpa who also has it, though. She's actually got slightly more evasion and the same DEF as Chris at the moment. 4 more HP as well, but she is poisoned.

[Culise]

Ah, that is so.  Mea culpa, I suppose. ^_^;;

[SeriousConcentrate]

Er... go ahead and post for me. I kind of don't know what the plan is. ^^^; Whatever you guys think is best for Chris to do, is what he will do this turn. I'll try to get in line with this next turn. Really, really sorry. ^^^;
