I wanted to learn how to do some hacking with FE4 and figured that a PME would be the best, when I finish all of the edits I’ll release a patch for everyone else to play it as well. I plan on changing more than the Player Units but for now I’ll accept suggestions for just that, after I finish the Player Characters I’ll move on to bosses, weapons, etcetera, but for now it’s basically a Create My Units. The hack will be using the English Translation and the Sword Skills patch as a base, so don’t be afraid to put a Sword Skill on a Non-Sword user. Special Thanks to Lamia and SureHit249 who inspired me to do this. Here are the rules/Template
Following the Template provided below should make things easier.
Your unit can substitute any of the playable cast of FE4 including the Substitute Children and Static characters in Gen 2.
Your character will have the substitute’s bases, however; you can swap two of that character’s base stats with another one of your choice besides HP, if they are naturally a Physical class then the Strength and Magic will be swapped if one is higher and vice versa, unless you’d rather that not happen, EX: Magical Swords or they promote into a magic user.
In terms of classes you can choose any within reason, but Tier 1 units should be replaced with other Tier 1 and Tier 2 should be replaced with other Tier 2. In terms of promotion any is at all is fine, if you want your character to go from a Mage to a Draco Knight that is fine. And although I have no experience with creating a New Class if you tell me something simple I’ll try make it work. Like a Magical Draco Knight. Ala the Malig Knight of Fates.
Your character can either have no Holy Blood, one minor, two Minors, or a Major. If your character has no Holy Blood then they can have up to three skills, 2 Skills with a Minor blood, or 1 Skill with two minors or a Major. I’ll likely make it possible for all Holy Weapons to be obtainable through some means.
Growths are 250 Max for Gen 1 characters and 300 Max for Gen 2 before holy blood.
You may also provide a new name for your character and a Portrait for your character which must be in a 48x64 resolution, while I make no promises on replacing the portrait, Lamia did make it seem fairly easy so I want to give it a try.
For dynamic characters aka the ones that stats are determined by their parents you can modify their name, portrait, and class.
