Oh! Seem to have missed that. We’ll have to seee if I can actually do anything with this, but from a glance probably not. Still, thank you!
Edit: Aye, as thought I couldn’t really understand a thing about that. Ah well.
Uhhhh… Have some time so may as well write up a bit on how I did this in case anyone else wanted to try and experiment and play around with it. Or what I remember anyways. Again, apologies for any incoherent ramblings. Likely pointless to put this here, but I like sharing knowledge, even if I’m a dumb.
Lots of rambling and stupid stumbling into 'explaining' the process I took.
Starting up, I’d used FEBuilder and installed the Skill System, simple enough, from there throughout testing imported a custom build via the Advanced Editors > Skill Custom Build. It’s apparently inefficient to do it this way, but I know nothing about buildfiles and stuff, so I can’t compare. For reference if you are unfamiliar, this is the skil system I initially used to customised (Well, a quite older version I’ve yet to update)

Of course you’ll need the ASM-related stuff you also need to edit skills, but this is under the assumption you’ve already sorted through all of that.
Now to start the editing! In the Skill System main folder… EngineHacks > Necessary > GrowthGetters there are growth things, naturally! I just copied the ‘Get_Luk_Growth.s’ twice, one is replaces ‘Luk’ with ‘Con’, and the other with ‘Mov’, this is what both of those generally look like.

Comparing that with the ‘Luk’ one, not too much different, the first ‘add’ bit replaces the #34 with #35, and the one lower down replaces the #33 with #34, then assuming you get what’s happening here, the ‘Mov’ file instead shifts up by +2 instead of +1, so the #35 would instead be #36. I’m not doubting there’ll be glitches somewhere doing this, but this is just fun experimentation, I’m not expecting it to be 100%, hehehe.
As for the #17 you see here, that was just so it didn’t conflict with the proper luck growth things, probably would’ve changed to like #37/38 instead.
Here’s where those two tie into in the Character editor for visual reference~
Then from there, drag your two .s files into the AssembleARM file that should be there, that’ll make .dmp files the skill system’ll actually read.
After the the ‘GrowthGetters.event’ file will have more Growth stuff don’t actually know what it does, but I assume it makes the game actually read the growths. Here you’ll just need to add the new growth files you made.

Congrats, growth rates exist. Not that they actually do anything yet! You’ll need to do the first bit with Get_Luk/Con/Mov_Growth again later, but I’ll get to that.
I doubt this next bit is properly ‘necessary’ in itself, but it’s nice to just cover everything. I think this this all just for the menu stuff but it’s not impossible it somehow deals with actual growths. Back out from the ‘GrowthGetters’ and into the ‘ModularStatScreen’ folder, from there open the ‘ModularStatScreen.event’, near the bottom you’ll see the same growth stuff as right up there from the previous event file, just add th growths in there again and that’s it for here. Into the ‘asm’ folder, and the ‘Write_Growths_To_Battle_Struct.asm’ here.
At the top you’ll see a table of growth stuff, here’s what I did with it~
.thumb @if you don't put this, the assembler assuming it's in ARM mode, which would be a Bad Thing
.org 0x0 @not necessary if 0, but I put it anyway out of habit

'Course that’s not all. Moving down you’ll find growth functions. The last of this group will be the Luk growth, I just copied the Res bit twice, changed the first copy to the Luk bit, then the second to Con and the existing Luk to Mov, like so.

I’m going to take note of the ‘add’ function here as well, the Res one has #0x78, while Luk has #0x79, I changed the Con one to #0x46 and Mov to #0x47, both of these things are unknowns but apparently 0x46 is used for AI, while I assume there’ll be no actual conflict since actual statups are used for playables and not NPCs/Enemies if you want to change it to be safe 0x3B seems to also be unused, I hope.
Lower down there’ll be a second set of these growths for fixed growths, it’s near enough in how the previous were done, copy stuff, change names, change the IDs they read from. Aaaand that’s all I know from here, I assume the bottom pointers arehandy to know about, but y’know dumb so I don’t understand the data they point to at all. Save, drag the file to the ‘AssembleARM’ batch file again, and that’s that for this.
From here back out from those folders, instead into EngineHacks > ExternalHacks > StrMagSplit
Here you’ll see… GrowthGetters folder again! Just do the same stuff as was done the first time, simple! You might be able to just copy the previous files buuuut I dunno, maybe just redo stuff to be safe.
Back into the main StrMagSplit is the _MasterAsmInstaller.event file, you’ll near immediately see ‘//#define ExpandedLevelUpScreen’. Just remove the two slashes and that’s it, this’ll make the level up popup show CON and MOV.
Aaaand that’s as far I know/think I know so far. I won’t be surprised if this is all totally wrong, but it was fun to play with anyways.
