Current one, unchanged.

+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.

Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.

I don't know but I want to see the results.

@Hasp: I know they're two different things, but I think gravity knives are more stylish.

@Blade: Well, he did say whatever he wants to draw most. You (and other people who don't live on night shift like I do and so weren't around ) might as well submit a request and let him choose. I don't want to force a situation where there's only one option if he's not into it.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Well, if someone else steps in and puts their character up as a choice, yeah. Otherwise, I'm gonna go ahead and respect implied dibs.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Oh. Uh, well, OK then. Thanks, Blade. ^^^

[Solymr]

The alchemist's base stats and the promotion bonuses seem too high, can somebody confirm?

[Haspen]

All promotion bonuses are +14, like Cecil once stated v:

[Haspen]

The base stats were a bit too high. I nerfed them.

Special: Alchemy
Activated Effect

---

Trainee base: Priest Trainee

First Class:

ALCHEMIST: People who are not as magically-adept as Priests, or do not belong to any 'holy' religion, often become Alchemists; these sturdy folk brave deep forests and treacherous swamps, using axes and clubs for protection. In these unwelcome, wild places, Alchemists gather their ingredients, both mundane and mystical, from which various everyday medicine will be created, for the use of common folk.

Preferred stats: HP, SPD

Weapon Skill: 1 Axe subcategory (C), 1 Staff subcategory (D), Axes (D), Staves (E)
Starting Weapon: Iron Club or Heal (staff)

Special: Alchemy

Special: Pathfinder
Passive Effect
Lowers the MOV Cost requirements of Swamps by 1; Any other terrains are not modified by Pathfinder.

LCK +0  DEF +2  RES +0  SPD +0  MOV +1

Promoted Class A:

FIELD MEDIC: Fate and Alchemist's own passion oft takes them into the battefields; be it a skirmish with bandits or huge battle between two armies, Combat Medics excel in keeping everyone alive as long as it is possible. Their extensive battle training - be it with weapons or how to defend oneself - ensures that they won't die so easily as well.

Preferred stats: LCK, SPD

Weapon Skill: 1 Axe subcategory (B), 1 Sword subcategory (B), 1 Staff subcategory (C), Axes (C), Swords (C), Staves (D)

Promoted Class A, variant with co-promotion from Nomad:

COMBAT MEDIC: Be it a Nomad that took on alchemy, or an Alchemist that devoted his life to battlefields - Combat Medics are synergy of both. Alchemy and staves provide more than enough healing opportunities, and sturdy, fast mount ensures that Combat Medics will be able to reach much more fallen companions than if one would have to run across the field on foot.

Preferred stats: LCK, SPD

Weapon Skill:
When promoting from Alchemist: 1 Axe subcategory (A), 1 Staff subcategory (B), Axes (C), Staves (C)

HP  +2  STR +1  MAG +3  SKL +1  CON +4  AID +4
LCK +0  DEF +0  RES +3  SPD +1  MOV +1
---

Promoted Class B:

PHARMACIST: Given enough time, successful Alchemists gain enough fame and wealth, allowing them to settle down and open apothecaries; such Pharmacists are treasured by the citizenry as being short of miracle-workers. Traveling Pharmacists gain quite a reputation, too; songs and tales of bards mention traveling doctors that, with only their alchemical skills and wisdom, manage to cure whole villages from plague and disease.

Preferred stats: HP, SPD

Weapon Skill: 1 Axe subcategory (A), 1 Staff subcategory (B), Axes (C), Staves (D)

Items Required: Herbal Sigil (both)

Promotion Bonuses:
HP  +3  STR +3  MAG +2  SKL +1  CON +3  AID +3
LCK +1  DEF +1  RES +0  SPD +1  MOV +1

[Solymr]

The 14 is for the Promoted Classes. For first classes it's like 10-11 from what I've seen :v

[Haspen]

Dun.

This allowed me to lower the base stats of Alchemist even further (not by much, but still) :v!

[Blade Master Model 42]

On the subject of new classes/promotions, I revisited my Third Tier Promotions notes, altered it in places where it clashed with the new 1.3, and am setting it up here for your perusal.

Click this.

Obviously it still needs work. Some class specials are decidedly lackluster. But it's what I came up with without much help.

[Solymr]

nope

[Solymr]

Since Haspen already has a full roster, does someone want to test the Time Mage in their game?

[GiglameshDespair]

This thread might be useful. PTW.

[Solymr]

nope

[freeformschooler]

It would be cool if we had a thread specifically for game balance testing. GMs volunteer to run one chapter at a time with a specific focus and specific rules (all characters are Time Mages/promotions, weather is [new weather effect in testing], or others). Players could also volunteer to play the pre-set characters being tested. I certainly don't want to run a full FEF but wouldn't mind running a chapter or so ala Dream Mission.

[Solymr]

We can use this thread as sort of OOC for those tests if someone wants/volunteers to test something in a separate map :v
