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.

Tell him we wish him well, and hope he feels better soon.

A question came to mind that I've been wondering about for a while: How do you GM's make the maps?  The poll in this thread mentions a tileset?

Oh, and Khaiel's FEF should probably be moved back to the active section in the OP.

[Solymr]

I'll move it later :v

I use a program called mappy. I haven't made a map in months so I don't remember how does it work v:

[GiglameshDespair]

I used Haspen's tileset in GIMP, or made my own tiles.

[Haspen]

There are two tilesets in use: mine (few-color DOS-like tileset) and the GBA Fire Emblem rip tileset (used by Solymr, for example).

Then you stuff the tileset in winmappy (for luddites like me) or Tiled (pretty much everyone else uses it).

And voila, maps :V

[Twinwolf]

Where exactly do people get that tileset?

[Haspen]

Where exactly do people get that tileset?

For mine you have to ask nicely

[Twinwolf]

Can you please send me that tileset? 

[Twinwolf]

If those questions about the tileset didn't make it blatantly obvious, I'm considering maybe attempting to start an FEF. Any suggestions for a new GM? Length and what a #x chapter in particular I'm curious about, but any advice is more than welcome...

Oh, and also a link to wherever it is you guys get the map sprites would also be nice...

Try doing a quick search on any sprite resource website and you should be able to pull the sheets pretty easily.

As for the number of chapters, it depends on how much story you have to tell? Also, not all chapters are going to have the same length or density of enemies or anything else. Because of that, there isn't a good 'golden number' to give you based on how strong you want your players to be by the end. As you get further in, you'll be able to guesstimate how many levels you can expect your players to get out of a particular set up you're doing. That said, average length seems to hover around a dozen or so main chapters, and a couple side chapters.

Also, if you're starting a game, I have a basic enemy sheet that you can use for mook generation based on a system Xanmy put together. You can grab it right here. So can anyone else, incidentally. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask.

[Twinwolf]

The %s are probably for progressions, but when does one roll the enemy levelups? Is the thing at the bottom for what levels stats with certain progressions get boosts?

[Blade Master Model 42]

The cool thing is you don't have to roll. It's fixed increases based on what level you set them at.

[Twinwolf]

Ah, I get it.

Also, does This seem like a good place to get map sprites?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Good enough, I guess?

[Twinwolf]

Mostly asking because it seemed kind of low-res, but it has map sprites of appropriate color for allies and enemies too, not just players.
