because I'm a tard I'm planning on going mainly swords. also I'm bad at the game ;v

[SOLDIER First]

I mean, by no means is it a bad move, but normally you would want to plan your classes around your growths. Maybe you should hope to God you get some MAG increasing items see if Ursa would let you reconsider.

_{also don't say tard}

[S34N1C]

_{ok, sorry I won't}

It's a fair question to ask. In all honesty, I completely overlooked the magical abilities of my advanced classes somehow. It makes sense that they would have them, but I somehow read right over them. I was going for a swordsman anyway, so while I know magic is good, I plan to mainly use swords. If Ursa thinks it's alright for me to change some things around so I can take advantage of said magical ability, I will, but I won't be too heartbroken if I can't.

[I_Like_Pi]

I'd be willing to let you change class to a myrmidon if wanted to since they promote to Swordmaster, which has the best specialization in Swords (S in a chosen proficiency and B in all other sub-categories).

[S34N1C]

Works for me.

[I_Like_Pi]

I'll change that after the current map then.

[Shoruke]

Say, wind magic doesn't deal effective damage against fliers in FEF, does it?

[Swordstar]

Does against pegs, thunder does against wyvern

[Shoruke]

Well frick, there goes my plan to go demolish that mage to the right...

* Shoruke re-reads the FEF PHB section on Effective Damage

Wait, that "effective damage" would only hit me for 3 extra damage since Gale tomes are wimpy. I might just go grind him into dust with my anti-spellcaster Personal Skill.

Thoughts? Criticisms?

[Swordstar]

6 extra damage actually. It's 3x the might of the tome. 1.3 was silly and tried to change that but homebrew rules fixed that. And wait for a plan before doing anything

[Blade Master Model 42]

Things I'd like to do but just can't:

Spoiler: Have Drest and Ava get next to Dale while one vulns him and the other attacks the Bandit past him. (click to show/hide)

Why it'd be nice: We could preserve the main defensive line with Gilbert and Simon, be in a better position to recover Dale, and Dazar would probably not go after those three in favor of continuing to attempt to reach the wagon.

Why I can't have nice things: Neither one can move far enough to reach 4,6, and without that the bandit can run up and smack the recovery team. Boo. 

Spoiler: Have Gilly ride forward and heal Quetzie (click to show/hide)

Why it'd be nice: So long as Drest vulned her first this could bring Quetzie up to full or just about, didn't math it once I realized it was a no go. She'd probably get slapped by something, but probably not hard enough to immediately eat dirt, and she does have Wrath last I checked.

Why I can't have nice things: Despite the apparent proximity those damn cliffs preclude Gilbert having a space behind the line to fall back to afterwards, and the absolute last thing I want right now is to leave our healers out in front, though I think Caius is going to keep being stuck there because fuck me nevermind, spotted a nice alternative

Spoiler: Have Sea murder something with extreme prejudice. (click to show/hide)

Why it'd be nice:Apart from extinguishing human life being its own reward, reinforcements are coming and it sure would be nice to be able to approach the exit tiles for the map.

Why I can't have nice things: Unfortunately right now everything in her range hits her back for more than she does, and moving forward to find a suitable target would be about as sensible as participating in a shotgun barrel tasting, even with Eric guarding her for all he's worth. Turns out I can, we just needed Simon's help first.

So with all the whining out of the way, here's a plan, such as it is.

Brady to 12,5, slim lance mage B, canto to 9,5 (doubles, kills if both hits connect)
Caius to 10,5, heal Simon
Gilbert to 10,7, heal Wynne, back to 8,6
Simon to 10,7, give mage E a right seeing to (will not kill), have to use Iron Halberd
If Simon hits, Sea hits mage E with fire to just barely scratch out a kill. Otherwise chill.
Drest vulns Quetzie
Ava lends Drest her Worm tome in exchange for his vuln, and medicates Nick
Wynne stabs the absolute hell out of Thief (doesn't kill)
Eric guards Sea because its all he's good for

Unless I am hugely mistaken, there's not really much else for Eric to do, which is why I did my move right away. If you have an issue with the plan, please state what it is and why. If you think the plan is fine, please post to say so, so we can tell when there's a consensus.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Alright so moves remaining based on when they need to be done. 


Brady to 12,5, slim lance mage B, canto to 9,5 (doubles, kills if both hits connect)
Caius to 10,5, heal Simon
Drest vulns Quetzie
Wynne stabs the absolute hell out of Thief (doesn't kill)
Once Caius moves, Gilbert to 10,7, heal Wynne, back to 8,6
Once Gilbert moves, Simon to 10,7, give mage E a right seeing to (will not kill), have to use Iron Halberd
Once Drest moves Ava lends Drest her Worm tome in exchange for his vuln, and medicates Nick
Once Simon moves, if he hits, Sea hits mage E with fire to just barely scratch out a kill. Otherwise chill.

[Chevaleresse]

but I like my Worm tome

[Blade Master Model 42]

Well you're loaded down with stuff so something needs to come off. Pick whatever you want, it's not super critical
