Minor Balance mod, with a new addition here or there. Did this as just a fun little thing for myself and thought I would share it.

Lessened the difference of Con between female and male version of some of the classes

Easter Egg

Easter Egg Character
Made Debias playable because Project Ember’s portrayal of him was very amusing to me. Has supports, though no convos, with Bors, Barthes, Wendy and Ogier

Upped his stats to the Similar as Project Ember

Has a unique version of Knight and General to use bows in addition to usual weapons, much like Project Ember

It sounds nice! You didn’t say anything about ambush spawns and the slow support grinding, could I ask if you have a reason for that?

While I know most people hate them, outside of Rutger and Echidna’s events, I kinda wanted to keep them since it is part of FE6’s identity so I didn’t really want to touch them.

As for support grinding, same thing really.

I could make another version for people who don’t like the grind or ambush spawns, though from what I know some of the Ambush Spawns can’t really be edited. At least that’s what I heard anyway.
