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.

You know what the handbook desperately needs?

Prices for items. Obviously they should be open to individual GM interpretation, but a simple baseline for the value of iron vs steel weapons would be nice, or the average cost of a stat booster. Just to use two examples.

[Haspen]

Iron weapons are usually aboot 300, steel weapons aboot 450, vulneraries 300, concoctions 600, elixirs 3000? tomes start at aboot 350, while staves get from 500 and moar.

Stat boosters would be around 500-800 range :v

This is me speaking for prices in my games, but I modeled it after pricing in GBA Fire Emblems.

[Solymr]

I have a full list of the prices for FH late game shops and I've been using those prices throughout all the game and games. I can post that if you want.

[Sirus]

Nah, what's really needed is that GM guide. TBH that's something that needs more working on than a bunch of class changes.

[SOLDIER First]

You can get cracking any time then, Sirus.

[edit] adds because i didn't mean to seem rude

[Sirus]

Yes, I am clearly the most suited person to write a GMing guide. The guy with a single failed game to his name

[SOLDIER First]

If I can do it...

[Blade Master Model 42]

I really should work on the GM guide...

[SOLDIER First]

Rule number one: Don't do a Shields of Caermo Prologue.*

Actually I already posted most of the guide sans tables and whatnot earlier in the thread.

This was talked over Discord, but we considered changing the Pirate's Rapid Strike to trading hit for AS in a 5:1 ratio, only on their phase and without it affecting evade to make it less cheesy. Opinions?

[GiglameshDespair]

Eeeh.

Not a fan. It's not terrible, but...

No real use for pirates if they already have a high AS. The defensive use of avoiding being doubled in exchange for an unreliable counterattack is removed by making it PP only. It feels like it'd be useful if you were just marginally below the AS needed for doubling enemies and not very relevant otherwise.

It'd probably be better if it added an extra attack in exchange for a set penalty, in my opinion, or even trading damage for speed - it'd fit better with a lighter, faster attack, and two hits would do more damage than one overall, with a better chance of triggering various skills.

[Solymr]

A problem with defensive use is that if you can't counterattack it's essentially free since you weren't gonna hit it anyways, but yeah in the EP it would be fine like with LotW.

The original iteration is another strike in exchange of -20 Hit on both attacks, but the cheese potential is there. There's also the fact that we're not that sure what Pirate's identity is. Trading damage for speed feels like more of a myrmidon or fencer skill, while we don't know whether to reward Pirates having high speed or compensate for them not having as much as other speed focused classes.

[SOLDIER First]

Maybe they have a once-per-map ability of smashing chests or something, so they don't need a key but it takes 1 use from their weapon?

[Solymr]

Well, replacing the raid skill maybe, but it will be very circumstantial (like raid and sea walk) that they're a bit lackluster if the only have that.
