Duke Knight's Momentum is up for revision? Which version of the skill would you prefer?

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.

Well, after archers I think we're done with first classes so...
One clarification for Assassins: do they lose weapon proficiency that doesn't get up to S rank?

Like it originally was, you mean? :P

Well, originally they also got bonus hit and damage based on the terrain they were on. But I think extra range is powerful enough alone.

That was changed to just extra range in FEF1, right? I'll check.

That said, it's a very compelling skill.

Seems to me like they keep it. Chris uses sidearms and crossbows equally well, and it doesn't make sense to get a proficiency (archer gets sword, thief gets bow) for one promotion and then immediately lose it again.

The only example where it's semi justified is with mage trainees, and that only because it can be written off as the trainee realizing they have no knack for anima but a talent for dark or light.

I think the handbook means they only get S rank is whatever but Haspen didn't interpret it as such. Having S rank usually means they don't get any other weapons but Assassins get swords and bows.
Also mage trainees should be the ones that pick their starting crap instead of the mage picking Fire, Thunder or Wind :V

Hmm. Tough. I guess they get S in their chosen subcategory and B in the general weapon, but the weapon they don't promote from Spy stays at D? So if Shaundra chooses Longbow (S) she'd have Bows (B) and Crushing/Swords (D).

Wait, why just +10 hit? That's like a crappier version of Hustle that only works with ranged weapons.

Well, it can stack with Hustle for one thing, and it'll also be a passive effect that works with any weapon the archer uses.

I still like Called Shot better though.

I suppose, but I mean...It only works with some allied weapons, and it really is a small bonus.

It's a First Class ability. It isn't really meant to be a tide turner. And there are lots of weapons with range. Probably more than not, really.

Alright, even I forgot about Fencers <_<
In a few hours I'll finish up the archers and try to do something to Fencers, so post ideas.
Pls I'll even play a shadow sword after this :P
