I’ve been looking around at hacks lately, and I wanted to implement a strength/magic split in my own hack for FE8. However, I’m looking through FEBuilder and I’m not seeing any patches that implement that despite it being in a lot of hacks I’ve seen. I did some digging and saw that it’s apparently packaged with skill systems, but I’m trying to avoid skill systems if I can help it just because it doesn’t really fit the vision I have for the hack (I might change my mind later, but for now I’m not interested in dealing with it). Are there any standalone patches I can use to implement a Str/Mag split without skill system, or do I need to install skill system and just not implement skills on anyone? This applies to most of the QoL stuff that’s packaged in with skill system but the str/mag split was the most important for my purposes.
FEBuilder’s version of Str/Mag split is intertwined with skillsystems. I believe you can do a custom build and disable Str/Mag split, but custom build is decently annoying to work with.
In terms of most QoL, there SHOULD be standalone patches for most, however.
There’s more here about specific QoL features that skillsys is bundled with. Hope this helps!
So basically if I want the QoL (specifically str/mag split and others), I should just download skill system and then just not allow characters to learn any?
