I've been working on 1.4.
For the time being I've removed most of the pictures, and that's cut 30 pages out the damn thing.
What needs to be reorganised?It's a bit of a mess, but it'd be helpful if people could point out the particularly poor bits that need work.
Bits I already know need redoing:
Support stuff is split between front and end of the doc
Weapons in starting list have different stats to weapons in tables
Thunder subcat in weapons tables listed as Wind
For the gameplay fixes, I'm thinking:
Gameplay changes:
General:
-You die when your KO counter reaches 0 and only then. This isn't actually what it says in the handbook, I believe.
-Perform grants 2 XP.
-Hit and Crit rolls are separated.
-Effective Damage is x3, even for crossbows
-Poison deals 2-6 DMG and can reduce HP to 0.
-Sleeping units always wake up when hit.
-Supports and Terrain grant DR instead of DEF.
-Supports that grant DMG also boost healing by the same amount.
-To rescue someone, you must have AID=/>CON of rescue target.
Character Skills:
-Blossom: Gives one extra prf stat of the player's choice
-Potential: Gives +5% to all stat growths. These may not be re-distributed.
-Daunt: Reduces Hit, Evd, and DGE by 5
-Disarm: Only activates on PP, now is cost
-Gamble: halves your final hit rate, doubles your crit chance
-Weapon Saver is free
-Provoke and Stillness have a 50% chance of triggering on units in attack range.
-Ignis: SKL+LCK% chance of adding half STR to magic attacks and half MAG to physical attacks. Free
-Sol: SKL+LCK% chance of recovering HP equal to half damage done in an attack or counterattack. Cost
-Luna: SKL+LCK% chance of ignoring half the respective defensive stat when making an attack or counterattack. Cost
-Reinforce banned

-All Trainee skills except Performer, Thief, and Rider do not apply

-Dark Magic, Druidic subcategory:
'Triumps': Weapon Triangle advantage (no +1 DMG due to ->) AND Effective Damage against their specified target.
'Loses': Weapon Triangle penalty.
-Problem with Hidden Blade and Hidden Gun rank solved. WT of Hidden Blade reduced to 14 and MT of Hidden Gun reduced to 20. They attack once per round.
-Soliferrum has 1-2 range.
-Lyrics and Instruments affect up to 2 allies in range and last for 3 turns unless noted otherwise.
So lets discuss the problems with the Con/Aid system. As of right now, Con does two things. First, it determines who you can rescue, something that is affected by mounts, and preventing slowdown from weapon weight, which is not affected by mounts.
Aid has only one use: Determining if you can rescue a unit based on another player's con. However, since Aid is just a unit's con -1, and the rescue capability of a unit is any target with a con equal to or less than your aid, you can determine this ny instead asking: Is my con higher than the rescue targets? If yes, rescue.
I think this issue was floated in the past and was never fully addressed, but I suggest we simplify the system to CON and SIZ. Con only affects your attack speed, SIZ is your CON plus any bonus from a mount, and only determines rescuing. If you have a larger SIZ, you can rescue. If your SIZ is equal or less, you can't. Never again will we need to explain that a horse does not mitigate weapon weight penalties.
Do people want me to put in this?
It sounds like a good idea to me, but it's a decent change so I need people's opinions.
