General Seth

[Loristril]

A Rebalance patch. Stared with the idea to make Seth a general and then I just keeps adding stuff to it.

So the hacks name will be FE8 General Seth.

I had to brighten the palate slightly to mach the others in the game made it to dark at first.
Also here is the palate. Feel free to use it.

• Staff Animation Toggle!
• Danger zone toggle. fixed typo
• Hold A or L skip animation.
• Hold A for fast move.
• Gave armor knight 5 move and can use swords.
• I made Franz a soldier and added a proportion for soldier.
• I gave Moulder a rescue staff increased its uses as it had less than warp which is a little silly and made it c rank rather than increase Moudler’s staff rank.
• Made magic swords target res so they give weapon rank.
• Some buffs to enemies like soldiers for example are not slowed down by iron. lance.
• Made the Dragonstone not break, target res and 1 - 2 range
• Talk and support doesn’t take action
• Running into enemy in fog doesn’t take action
• Some changed enemy placements like very few and minor ones
• Changes to promotion bonuses tired to make the choices better without one being the only good one.
• Gave great knight 7 move
• Enabled many bug fixes in FE Builder and increased miss xp to 5 and staff xp to 30.
• Added a few steal-able items in some early chapters as there were so few
• Changed some chests
• Made supports 5 tiles a way.
• Added a playable brigand but while i would like to right a compelling reason they join and supports I don’t have the technical ability to put that in to the game but I do have some confidence I could write one. I don’t really plan on rom hacking any more though.
  usa australia is base rom
  had to remove hp bar patch apparently incompatible with the toggle staff animation patch
  Lowered str makes sense both balance and story wise as his fight with Valter was supposed to have left with a lasting injury.

Seth’s Bases and growths here

• 28hp - 90%
• 9 pow - 45%
• 12 skl - 50%
• 6 spd - 30%
• 11 def - 40%
• 3 res - 30%
• 13 luck - 30%

The battle sprite i used the the brigand is my favorite one in it i think.

listen, I haven’t gotten around to editing the bases and growths on the jagen in my hack and she’s a general and yeah I already know he’s Still Going To Kill Everything.

[Loristril]

well I wanted a nerf that was also fun and his res is much lower. while i play test more ill decide if i should lower a stat or two he can still take on a lot solo but can more easly set up kills and not one round every thing.

[Loristril]

at first i forgot to put a screenshot of his base stats

[Loristril]

ill need to quickly figure out how to change a units palate for some reason making Forde a ranger made him blue

[ShirleyVaga]

Seth being a general should affect the story at the start since a general wouldnt be as fast as a paladin . his pallete should be changed since seth isnt blue

[Loristril]

yes i just finished changing his palate it was easy to make look right but i could not for the life of me make a palate look good for forde as ranger so i just reversed that change and made him and kyle cavs again probably better not to take way that choice from the player anyway.

[Loristril]

i played and watched the opening bit a few times it functions and does not break or anything so its fine. might look different though

[Loristril]

OK figured out how to change palate basically imported another charters general palate and edited the colors to Seth’s colors hopefully it look OK.

[Loristril]

ill put Seth’s stat in text instead of screenshot now easier to edit.

[Loristril]

I am pretty much finished with rom this hack. if any one wants to feel free to copy any ideas from this that you think are good Thats one of the reasons I made it any way was to give out ideas anyone could use if they like. i might make small changes tho edit im not updating anymore and feel free to make modified versions and put in replies if you like.

@Loristril

Dander zone toggle

All jokes aside, nice game!

However making the Dragonstone never break is a bit OP. What if there were powerful optional stationary minibosses who drop Dragonstones when killed?

[WiiSportsRemote]

jason does this hack have RNG

[Loristril]

well i suppose that would work to i made it that way so the character would not have limited uses as other charter can just get stuff from shops and it was the easiest way to do that.

[Loristril]

I didn’t add any rng thats not already in fe 8 like crit rate hit rate etc. or do you mean something more specific

[WiiSportsRemote]

i was memeing, dont worry

[Loristril]

oh ok
