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.

I would still agree that it's a really strong skill if you're doing it that way. At the very least I'd say cap it at however much HP they have, but I'd still say that recovering half HP if they kill or half damage if they don't is the best way to handle it. It's a character skill. I don't think there's anything that's significantly stronger than it, though if you think there are, please say what those are. I could see an argument for it being a free skill vs cost skill but.

<BMM42> Well before I answer that, let's take a look at the factors Sol needs to be effective
<BMM42> The character using it needs decent HP to take advantage of recovery
<swordstar> eh
<BMM42> Skill and Luck for activation chance
<BMM42> And high damage output to overcome defenses to get back a number that's not meaningless
<BMM42> And also choose targets with high current HP so they can get more back, by the FE:A rules
<swordstar> honestly i just don't think that sol is that great of a skill in general
<swordstar> regardless of the way you're handling it
<swordstar> but
<BMM42> That's because there are a lot of factors that need to line up for it to be particularly useful
<BMM42> If they do you're gold
<BMM42> Now let's compare the factors of Luna to that
<BMM42> Skill and Luck for activation chance
<swordstar> needs someone with high def to be useful
<BMM42> and high damage output to deal significant damage when enemy defenses suddenly stop working
<swordstar> since it only halves their def
<BMM42> Luna only gets more useful as the game goes on
<swordstar> i would argue the same for sol
<BMM42> Not as sharply though.
<BMM42> Sol has to deal with scaling enemy defenses
<BMM42> Luna only benefits from that, as it ignores more armor the tougher the enemy is
<BMM42> Yes, Sol gets better because the late game you get damage stat growth AND better weapons with which to increase damage, and everyone has more HP
<swordstar> so make luna cost and sol not
<swordstar> done

So yeah, who wants Sol to be free instead of cost :v

[Xanmyral]

Sounds fair enough to me.

It strikes me as (sorta) similar case to Center or Imbue. They're honestly pretty great skills, but they require enough of a sink/requirements to set up to be meaningful that its not often dealt with. Aur has Imbue and its working good with him, for instance, but he spent the equivalent of two cost skills and half of his initial four to make it so.

[Solymr]

It's a fair point. We should give that kind of check to other character skills too.

[Twinwolf]

Solymr, it appears that you can now add the second game to the "Completed Games" section: The Nature of Humans.

[Solymr]

Yes when it's locked ;v

[Bluexdog]

Are their any FEF's that are starting up?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Not at the present time.

You're a madman. A MADMAN

[Twinwolf]

F.O.E., did you accidentally lock FEF: Clashing Ideals' OOC thread? The IC isn't locked, and you haven't mentioned that the game is ending...

[F.O.E.]

I literally haven't had the topic open in the past few days. It's locked, but I didn't lock it.

Edit: And I can't unlock it either.

[Twinwolf]

Maybe PM Toady One about it?

[Sirus]

That's what I would do.
