[Fire Emblem] The Gathering Storm

[Overcast]

AH! I had planned to but apparently I forgot to put it in after I inserted the bio.

I took your advice and tweaked my profile a little to give more growth to strength and altering the base a slight while still giving pretty high speed.

As for nationality, any suggestions based on my profile? I was thinking Makeen (a verdant location famed for food sounds like a great place for a lazy guy who wants to live a simple prosperous life, while having a hunter like hobby) although Caledonia is nice too for similar peaceful reasons. Also, if you are in need of a plot critical role (your OP said you had some roles that you required filling) I'm pretty willing to take one that is compatible.

Also, I guess I'm starting with a simple bow?

EDIT: Hold on, I'm a knight? Doesn't mounted archers have the ability to promote to Ranger? (I noted that much in post 44 to confirm if that was accurate)

Both of those work. He has reason to be where I need him to be for either one.

Before everyone min-maxes for Myrmidon-style stats (skill and speed), I'd like to point out that skill and speed alone do not kill enemies. They effect your hit rates, critical rates, and dodge rates and compliment each other well, yes. In all cases you may have an advantage in chance, but it is just that, chance. Myrmidons and other speed/skill focused characters are among the most prone to being RNG screwed or killed by lucky hits. Defense and Strength, while they may only affect 'one thing', are constant as the northern star. You will always shave X amount of damage off every enemy hit, no matter how probable or improbable. You will always deal X more damage. coughIguesswhatI'mtryingtosayistankunitsgenerallyg ainalotofexperience

Healthy stats to not neglect, in any case.

Yeah, an iron bow in your case.

Down: Right. Looks good. Your AID is 5 in this case (con -1) and your element should go in the support box at the bottom. Or rather, you should include yourself as a support (as you will contribute your own element to all of your support partnerships anyway.)

Speaking of supports... I guess I should reveal what each element does now.

For each rank of a support, your element and your partner's element contributes 1x the following to your total bonuses, when you stand within 3 tiles of one another.

Element|Dmg|Def|Hit|Eva|Crt|Dge

Fire|+.05| +0 |+2.5| +0 | +5 | +0

Tndr| +0 |+0.5| +0 |+2.5| +0 | +5

Wind| +0 | +0 |+2.5|+2.5| +5 | +0

Ice | +0 | +1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +5

Lght| +0 |+0.5|+2.5| +0 | +5 | +0

Dark|+0.5| +0 | +0 |+2.5| +5 | +0

Anim| +1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +5 | +0

Watr|+0.5|+0.5| +0 | +0 | +0 | +5

Hevn| +0 | +0 | +5 | +0 | +0 | +5

Erth| +0 | +0 | +0 | +5 | +0 | +5

Fractions round DOWN. For example, if Jacob and Jocelyn have a C-rank support, which means they're rank 1, and Jacob is Fire and Jocelyn is water, they would gain water+firex1, or 1 damage, 0 defense, 2% accuracy and 5% critical dodge. (Dge is unique here, as it, like luck, reduces enemy critical chance agaisnt you.) At rank B, they would gain 2 damage, 1 defense, 5% accuracy and 10% critical dodge. Provided of course, they are within 3 tiles. No matter how narcissistic you may be, you may not apply your support bonuses to yourself without a partner.

If anything is empty it is because I'm not particularly sure what is supposed to be there. Took the slim sword until we are perfectly set in bringing the rank up to C and grabbing that killing edge.

Eh? Is this meant for someone else? Cause I thought my AID is a lot higher (12 base CON and something like +12 bonus for being mounted?)

Writing up a Lance Knight. Does he start with both an Iron Lance and Javelin, or just Iron?

Down means I was talking to overcast. Your AID happens to be 11+14 or 25 which is ridiculous and possibly means you could aid small fortresses in moving to other continents.

If he's a lance knight, I'll allow a javelin and iron lance.

Alrighty, the attachment is edited as you put it to me.

Name: Dumas Calion

Description: A towering pile of muscle, Dumas stands an even two meters tall and has a rather grizzled appearance making him look even older than his age of 35. His face is covered in scruffy 'salt and pepper' stubble, and a large scar adorns his left cheek from a sparring accident when he was younger.

Background: Dumas, though an excellent warrior, served many years as a guard for the nobles of Caldonia with little in the way of accolades or advancement. Mainly due to his attitude of 'just doing his job' and his rather frightful appearance and demeanor. He was never one for playing at the politics, and so he was passed up for promotion time and time again. A fact that never bothered him. All and all, one would expect him to be a completely unimportant character denoted the name 'Guard #42' or some such in the credits, were he listed at all.

Personal Skill: Daunt

... Maybe if I attach a cart to my horse I can aid the entire party move across the map. ^^

Anyhow, I still have my earlier question. You stated I was a knight of some sort. Doesn't mounted archers have the ability to promote to Ranger? (I noted that in post 44 to confirm whether or not that was accurate)
