Yas pls, for extra epicness and plot and FEF1 lore connections!

Nah, we had enough and this game should end with Julius' coronation.

Am I allowed to have more than one class for my fault that I do badly against? I want to do both Soldiers and Knights and their promotions.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I have no idea why you would want to. Why hamstring yourself more than absolutely necessary? It's not like Haspen will let you have a better skill in exchange.

[Sirus]

...Well, fuck. Dibs on any CON-boosting items we find, I guess.

Still, like I said she should be staying away from enemy attacks as much as possible anyway. This will just give extra incentive to do so.

The dedication to roleplay is strong with this one.

[CrimsonEon]

That doesn't make any sense at all. Being mounted is supposed to increase your CON. Wasn't there a big debate over how useless the AID stat was because you could use CON in exactly the same way?

I always figured that "weight" was just a typo because it isn't used anywhere else in the book except when referring to weapons.

No, being mounted does not increase your CON for purposes of battle, only rescuing. It's a weird thing FE did, and it's carried over into FEF. If that weren't the case, you'd see Pegasus Knights wielding Steel Lances without a dip in Evasion.

Well, think of it like this. The mount isn't the one wielding the lance, but it is the one carrying rescued units, thus it would contribute it's CON, or effective lifting ability, only to rescuing and not the fighting.

@Rolepgeek: What BMM said.

EDIT: @Sirius and FFS: POSTING WITHIN THE SAME 10 SECONDS AAGH

Character is a deserter. Haspen might not let me have a better skill, but he might let me have a unique one.

Plus, my character is a deserter. If it was just Soldiers but not Knights, yet he is a Knight? Vice versa might work, but it also paints him as an aristocratic snob who doesn't care about betraying underlings.

[Xanmyral]

Actually no, being mounted just makes you harder to rescue as it raises the hidden 'weight' stat. The prevalent idea that being mounted increases your CON is mostly because Haspen lists it as doing so in the character sheets, but that isn't the case as to how the rules actually play out if one were to look at the mage knight in FEF 1 or any other mounted unit with a weapon above their non-mounted CON. I assume he does so because the sheet would look weird if he added another stat.

The debate was my own, and I wasn't debating over how AID was useless because you can use CON in exactly the same way, but rather that AID was CON given one point less, thus extraneous as you could simply say 'below your CON' instead of 'at your AID or below.'

Yeah, the book has a few problems as we can see. It's why I call 'weight' a hidden stat, it isn't shown on the sheet and not mentioned much because it is your CON. The only time it really comes up is with mounted units.

@Role: Totally. You can even make exceptions for such classes in your other skills, as I've done with Sal for Priests.

Edited for clarity and additional comments

The social rank and the class of Knight are divorced in this game as far as I know, so the skill set of the class isn't exactly socially restricted. Doesn't mean that one couldn't be both, just that this assumption might lead to silly instances which, while funny to point out, might not be intended.

[Rolepgeek]

I think this is a decent skill:
Building Momentum: If Cabel used all MOV in the previous round, +1 to MOV;

I'm just worried about the fact that it's Haspen who'll be GMing. This may be too un-min-maxed.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I wouldn't argue against that skill. It would be especially useful when rejoining the group if you get separated.

[Rolepgeek]

Maybe, but I'm just using it to offset the fact that Knights have a base move of 4. The rest of the group will have a base move of 5. So, only if I'm moving my full amount will I be able to keep up.

[Blade Master Model 42]

... That's pretty clever, actually.

[freeformschooler]

When I'm a Lore Master, I'll have a base move of 8 and a max move of 9.

Passing this off as Candy's eventual magick skills being enhanced Fairy Magic. Everyone knows how fast those little suckers move.

[Sirus]

When Grifen becomes a Nomad Medic, I think she'll have a maximum move of 10 (if she attacks).

[freeformschooler]

Holy crap that's a lot. Did you take celerity or what

I would have thought he's just really good at prancing.
