An FE8 PME (Oh boy!)

Hello! This is my first time doing one of these, but I’ve been doing minor personal romhacks for FE games for a few years. I want to improve my skills so I decided to try one of these.

  • Characters: Currently will only be working on playable characters, if I feel up to it I’d be down to accept bosses too!
    Classes currently banned:
  • Classes: Willing to change character classes, promotions/promotion options(including between characters of the same base class), weapons on vanilla classes, class animations, etc. If you suggest a new class, list what weapon types and whether it is cavalry/flying or not.
  • Stats: Character base values will stay the same, however you are allowed to assign the base values to other stats(except HP/Con). For example, you may swap Skill with Luck, and Def with Res. Also something to note, if a STR based unit is swapped with a MAG based unit or visa versa, I will automatically swap STR and MAG on them. If bosses are changed, you may swap any of their stats as well(Excluding HP)
  • Skills: Each character can have a unique personal skill from FE8’s Skills Patch. All characters must have personal skills and are allowed 2 level-up skills max. Some skill combos may be modified if too powerful but otherwise go wild. Unmounted classes will get Reposition/Shove/Swap depending on class type(Dancer gets Dance instead) and all mounted classes get Canto+. Bosses may have upto 1 personal skill and one regular one.
  • Weapons: I will accept additional weapons into the game(1 per suggestion, No uber weapons please). I can lock them to certain classes/characters if specified.

Not allowing stat changes like this at the moment, sorry! I would recommend changing it a bit more as well, I’m looking for a bit more of a challenge with the edits and as it is right now it’s essentially just Eirika with 2 skills and different growths haha

It’s alright. Sorry, this is the first time I do one of these. You can follow whatever suggestion @VelvetKitsune was going to make to her istead if you want to.

okay! Feel free to make a new suggestion if anything comes to mind, thank you regardless!

Ahaha, it’s fine, I already tailored him a bit more for Ephraim anyway.

I’m not too familiar with custom skill system builds unfortunately. Would Gamble(renamed to skill issues) be fine? Also I had to condense the description down a bit, and while normally I would say your growth total is too high, most of the extra growths go into luck so Ill make an exception this time haha.

Sure that will do.

Build Reasoning: SPOILERS

Since Myrrh stuff is jank, I’ve just given Rin a set of comparatively awful bases as a Level 1 Unpromoted unit. I also gave her the same 350 growth total as everyone else to compensate for some things I will explain later. Her growths are very well distributed, however, being massively stoked in MAG and LCK. With an always-accurate Fenrir, she can consistently clean up weakened enemies for EXP. Her bulk is nonexistent, however, and this does not improve with growth so NosTanking is off the table.

Rin’s real strength is gaining Double Lion at Level 10. As much difficulty as getting there is, due to her nonexistent durability, it not only turns her into a damage-dealing powerhouse, as her attacks are also always accurate and very powerful, but the true strength is when this combination of skills is combined with Eclipse. You see, Eclipse does not change the amount of damage it deals mid-fight, so if you somehow make it hit more than once (Double Lion), it will deal the same amount of damage each hit, but since it always deals 1/2 of target’s HP per hit, this will always result in a KO if both hits land. Once Rin hits Lv10, she can kill ANYTHING in the game so long as she has a 2+ use Eclipse on hand. Comboing this with Luna can also result in massive destruction too. Her unconditional instakill is balanced by the fact that aside from the one Eclipse in the desert, the only way to get more Eclipse is to grind Floor 6 of Valni or Hammerne an existing Eclipse, so it’s not like she’s going to be annihilating everything in her way.

Oh, it’s nice to see another Live A Live fan.
