♦ Fire Emblem: Three Houses, EoaNA {Planning / Discussion}

Dang it, Ember! xD ...guess that makes us the Terror Trio now? But I love what you're doing with you cursed OC, Sussuru!

Hm. They don't seem to use tomes in battle in Three Houses (which makes it kinda different from the other games in that regard) so that's why I'm even asking in the first place. But yeah, some students could use tomes anyway. Like, they won't need them to cast spells they've already mastered but if they want to cast something they're still learning they'll need a tome, otherwise they won't be allowed to use that spell because it might not be safe. For example, Callan would be able to cast Miasma without requiring a tome but if he wanted to cast Mire (a spell he's still working on) he would have to use a tome for it. In addition to that, anyone who's not super interested in magic anyway or as no talent for it will always need a tome to cast spells. So I guess if Vincent or Jasmine would want to use magic in battle just learning the spells wouldn't be enough, they'd still need a tome for it. Kontantin might be able to cast some spells (though it'd be very rare for him to resort to that) without one but only because he's known those spells for many years.

Alright, that's how we'll do it then! Feeling a bit sorry for the foreign students (and especially for those three) but eh, I haven't been mean to Agnar yet so yeah, he'll just have to deal with it ^^
Yeah, probably. I'm sure she trusts those people so she wouldn't suspect them so easily. And yes, the teachers should definitely get more involved in this year's investigation! It'd be especially important to Orryn. And Konstantin would get suspicious too because the missing students from his class are too sensible to do something that would get them in trouble. He'd definitely think there's something fishy about this.

Nah, it's not too much ^^ And like you said, he's gonna get rid of it anyway so I see no issue with that. (Ember would say that things could be made even worse xD)

Ah, okay. Still haven't played the demo since I'm still busy with other games but I'm gonna take a short break from it anyway so I totally have time to finally try the demo xD
Alright, cool! And yeah, the logistics of that and changing weapons is probably something we shouldn't think about too hard. Also, you suggested that they could simply use a tome with all their planned spells in it so if we do that it shouldn't be too difficult ^^ One more reason for some of my less magic-inclined characters to not bother with magic, they don't want to have to carry around a tome all the time. As for the more skilled ones not really needing a tome it still makes sense for them to only stick to their planned list of spells since there's only so much they can memorize.

Oh you will be sorry! Because Sussuru or I might come up with even worse stuff! Someday. Wait, no. That'd be a reward to you xD

Anyway, I've been looking up some stuff about crests on the FE wiki in hopes of getting a better idea on how they will work in battle (how and when their effects get triggered) but instead I stumbled upon something else.


I kinda think this part isn't referring to the in-battle crest effects (like preventing an opponent from counterattacking) but instead how the crests affect their bearers in general. Aside from enhanced strength another example was a high aptitude for magic. So, wanna implement that or should we leave it out? Because if we want to include it we'd have to come up with some boons for our crestbearers that give them an edge over the crestless ones. The crest effects we're already using are a bit too situational for that. I'm fine with not adding some general boons though ^^ I'd have to come up with one for each of my crest bearing characters and I don't know about thinking of four things (one for each of them) they could be unnaturally good at xD

One thing we definitely need to figure out is how many people are affected. In the games you can only use Dance on one unit each turn. And it kinda makes sense that this is how it is in the games because otherwise it could become a pretty broken mechanic. In a RP though? It's kinda weird that dancing will only work on one person even if others are standing right next to them. I mean, they would see the dance too, right? But if it benefits everyone who sees it it would also have an effect on the opponent and that would be kinda counterproductive. Maybe what Dancers do is a form of magic? Would explain why it only works on the intended target (or targets if we want it to be used on multiple allies at once).

And yeah, our Dancers can still use weapons and/or offensive spells. Luca can use a sword so he wouldn't have to spend the whole battle dancing. Julius can wield swords as well and knows some magic so he won't be dancing all the time either. Not sure about Alastair but that's for Ember to decide as he's her oc.

I'm working in a small gift shop, it's just me here, we have a front door we keep open, and a back door for employees only, I just hears the back door open and close look back there and no one is near the door, help

A bit, not strong, but we've got a breeze going, so I'm hoping it's just wond other wise I'm closing the shop and leaving to get holy water

Yeah, I think there were some throwing knives in at least one of the games. Pretty sure they had those in Fates (Daggers for Nohr, Shuriken for Hoshido). Guess Luca could throw them while Agnar deals the killing blow (maybe his crest's effect gets triggered, making his attack powerful enough for this) so the bandit can't dodge or try to attack. Or it's what he wants to do but instead the dagger hits the bandit square in the head, somehow cracking his skull xD
