vilkacis posted:The peak/water option is basically so you can get characters who start on normally unwalkable terrain to move - the bandits in Ross/Garcia's chapter can't get off the mountains if they're, say, mercenaries, for instance. Ah, that makes sense. I guess "pure random" just changes which classes can and can't cross water/mountains, then? I have no idea if the class fuckery in the prologue applies to just us or to Valter, too. I hope not, because he looks awesome as is. Edit: That 13x looked... fun. It's a good thing Florina is strong enough to bench-press the entire army. Wes Warhammer fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Jun 1, 2019 |

Faillen Angel posted:Just as a warning about Death Blow; both FEH and FE14 Death Blow are part of the self-randomizing rom, so you might have a +35 Crit Eirika once she promotes. ...Huh. I didn't actually know that - I figured there would only be one instance of each skill. I look forward to what other silly skill loadouts I end up with. Are you playing on Easy? I don't think the randomizer accounts for the tutorials, which can lead to situations like that. You might have to just play on Normal instead.

I didn't notice until you reposted that screenshot that I managed to leave my mouse cursor in the active window when I took it.  I... would also appreciate an explanation on Barricade. I tried to test it out, but the next chapter isn't really turning out to be that conducive to it.

That's quite a lucky Ike you have there.  Hopefully Oscar secretly has some wacky growths to make up for the fact that he really shouldn't be anywhere near a battlefield.

Sorites posted:EDIT:What does the FE8 randomizer do with the trainee classes? I feel like most randomizers try to keep units in their starting tier (Oscar not promoted, Titania promoted) but Ross isn't any of the "zeroth tier" classes. Could someone else roll a trainee class? The trainee classes are randomized just like any other, and it's possible to run into enemy trainees as well ( Wes Warhammer fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jun 2, 2019 |

So here's a fun fact about the self-randomizer. Somehow, whether or not you visit shops in between chapters can affect how the next chapter randomizes. This can change enemy classes and stats, but more importantly, remember that picture of Neimi I posted in the last update? Well, now, all of a sudden, I have to work with this:  Nissin Cup Nudist posted:FE8: Can player-monster units promote? They can, but unless this randomizer changes it, they only gain Con on promotion.

 What happened to Shinon's sprite? And how did he get un-promoted...?As for the challenge rules, maybe one of them could be, in addition to the vindictive deployment, that you can only field one "God-unit" per map, besides Ike (if we get to a point where that won't completely screw you over).

FPzero posted:It's been fun but man Chapter 2 was a rough time because all the brigands got turned into wyverns. But next chapter Bazba and all got turned into Dancers so that was funny. Also the Dancers in my run don't have Wary Fighter and can double appropriately? Maybe it got an update in the few days since the LP started. I went back to the Serenes Forest thread, and I think I downloaded the randomizer less than a day before its latest update. Looking at the changelog, there's some things I've missed and want to show off, like Thracia 776 Mode, so I might try to cobble together a bonus update or something assuming the update won't break my run.I know in the vanilla game, there's a glitch where Tethys (or anyone, really) can learn dark magic and it caused a crash with her specifically if you had animations on, so I had believed them getting Wary Fighter was meant as a band-aid for that crash. Glad you're enjoying it so far, though! That perma-Devil effect sounds hilarious and I kind of hope I run into that one.

Sorites posted:Does Pragmatic apply to healing, or does the game know the difference between staff use and combat? Yes, the game differentiates between healing and combat, so Pragmatic wouldn't boost healing, as nice as that would be. I had noticed the bubbles for dangerous weapons before as I definitely remember seeing them before the patch, but not the talk bubbles. They're a nice touch! Also I can't wait to see the rest of 10-move Soren Blaze Dragon posted:Skills seem to get pretty wild. I can see why the game would have items to manipulate them. Nonetheless...not sure if I'm a fan. It reminds me uncomfortably of Fates. Well, a good chunk of these skills are lifted directly from Fates, so maybe that's why they remind you of it I'll admit, it does get annoying to deal with sometimes, both on my units (as a slight spoiler, the next chapter gives me a healer that has Life and Death with no way to take advantage of it) and on enemies (in this seed, Recruits have Bane as a class skill and I dread the day one of the enemy ones actually manage to proc it).EDIT: I realized I forgot to show Joshua's growths in the last update, but they should be there now.

Funny you should mention 5x, because... 07: One Man Army I honestly was going to skip this chapter, but Ephraim's inventory changing after the first reset was enough to get me over the initial hurdles of it. It's kind of funny that Orson ended up being good for both of us, and that Forde ended up being so awful for us both. In hindsight, I probably wouldn't have complained as much about Orson's stats if he ended up as a General or something, because then I could almost expect stats like that (other than his strength). It's a shame he happened to have the best growths and really good skills, though

Zurai posted:That 5x could have been worse -- you could have had siege tome assholes around! Well... I almost did. Thanks to the inventory randomization, the Pupil in the throne room had Bolting instead of Fire on the first run, so even if I had made it past that in the first run, I'd probably have lost someone to Bolting.

Keldulas posted:Your Ephraim is honestly really nifty (if frighteningly fragile) and your Kyle is serviceable. I can't think of any universe where you'd want to use that Forde though. The only problem I really have with Kyle is the fact that Life and Death does absolutely nothing for him until promotion beyond making him take more damage. Once he does promote, though...  Faillen Angel posted:
Yep! I didn't show their stat screens, but the Baels all had really low strength, but they still had enough might to one-shot the whole party sans Orson even if they had 0 strength. The Sharp Claw having stats like that made me seriously consider using this update as a demo of the Konami code, but maybe another opportunity will arise.

I'm a bit behind, but ouch Dorcas having the Assassin promotion gains really doesn't do him any favors. It's a good thing Lucius has good promotion gains waiting for him, though. I'm also amused by Vaida "randomizing" into her unpromoted class, and Aion's whole "thunder hear my cry!!" as a Nomad Trooper with swords. Is it possible for Kishuna's posse to randomize into magic users? Because that would be pretty funny.

There's that fangame where Treck's sprite is used for a Knight who's just named "Kevin" and Kevin is somehow just A GOD who solos half the maps. Do it for Kevin. Ah, Kevin. Who knew Treck but in a suit of armor could become one of the best generals of all time?I can't speak for the Yune randomizer, but unfortunately that can't happen with the FE8 self-randomizer, as both Lyon and Fomortiis' classes seem to be locked to them, as funny as it would be to run around as a giant demon and punch people. e:f;b Wes Warhammer fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jun 9, 2019 |

Hunt11 posted:So it seems as though in the Sacred Stones randomizer you start with enough skill ranks to use whatever is in your inventory. So in my run Eirika (who started as herself) with the Runesword started at rank A with swords. Of course the real highlight of the run is Natasha who is also an Eirika lord starts with 20 speed. Yes! You never start with weapons you can't use, which is a nice failsafe that the randomizer has.

 10: The Art(ur) of War  Since we've hit the route split, I'm opening up where we go from here to a vote. Which route should we go with first? Also, when I tackle the other route, should it be from this same seed, or should I start a new game and see how things go? If one of those options win, I won't bore you guys with a retread of the first 10 maps again - instead, I'll have a mini-update once I've played through them, showing off the party I'll be using going into it.  If it helps inform your decision, here's a comparison shot of the two lords, as of the end of Chapter 8 (the -5 on Ephraim is from a seal skill) Vote here! I'll call the vote in about 2 days.

Her getting one-shotted at some point down the line is a very real possibility  Devil's Pact seems like the kind of thing that's nice to have for yourself but awful to run into on enemies. But now I'm just wondering if if also factors in proc skills - will Artur end up assassinating himself?
