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

Yeah, sounds good! Also makes it easier to keep things fair for the mock battle

Okay ^^ But man, it's such a shame that only the students (and to a lesser extend the professors because otherwise they would obliterate everything) get to fight, Néo will be so jealous xD

Hard to resist kitten charm. All they have to do is purr, meow or otherwise be cute. She may have no respect for letting you have a healthy sleep schedule but at least she's being adorable about it and she knows it

Well, it's not like we'll need the whole thing right away so there's no need to rush. And we already know that Imrie uses Fire and Heal ^^ But yeah, picking out spells for everyone is hard. Here's the list of rules I've set for myself. You don't have to use it of course but it helped me a little with my spells. Oh, and I just realized that I need to come up with a spell list for Nereus now xD Hm... as a Mortal Savant he'll mostly use reason spells. Maybe I'll give him both Black and Dark magic in exchange for not letting him learn any Faith spells...

- characters can learn only one of the more powerful Reason spells: Meteor, Bolting, Quake and Bohr. So that one person can't use both Bolting and Meteor, for example.
- characters who generally won't bother with magic can learn three Faith spells and two Reason spells
- anyone who has Faith listed as a strength or interest will most likely already know Heal and Nosferatu
- those who have Reason as a strength or interest will probably know their first Reason spell

Cool! Glad that helps. Also, here are the spells that can be learned: Faith Spells Reason Spells Keep in mind that Bohr and Quake are allowed (but not both of them for the same character), they have their effect changed a little to nerf them though ^^ Quake can only be used when the caster isn't flying (so no casting it from a pegasus or wyvern) and instead of only damaging foes it also damages allies. And Bohr will not only reduce the target's HP to one, the caster will get their HP reduced to 1 as well.
And yeah, it's shocking that Jason isn't the weakest Lion xD But then again Fion is only weaker than him because he is more focused on being a healer

Bonus points for Tahvo and Lara seeing right through him but playing along anyway because it's more fun that way xD

That's the thing with cats, they like to do their own thing and force their humans to go along with it xD But then again that makes them so lovable

Fion is definitely more useful, that's true. And there aren't many other characters who are weaker than Jason. Alastair probably is but he's a dancer so he doesn't have to be strong in combat. And I'd put Julius somewhere between Alastair and Luca. But whether he could beat Jason or not, he's definitely gonna tease him if they ever get to fight each other (either at the mock battle or a normal sparring match). He's not gonna let Jason think he'd actually have a chance in a real fight xD

Yup. Cats can be jerks but they're cute enough to get away with it

I guess it could depend on whether the other students will use their relics (if they have them at this point). Some already have theirs with them while others will have to wait for their specific mission or paralogue. So if some students use their relic for the Battle of the Eagle and the Lion then it would definitely be fair if Neason used his as well. And him using it after his return makes sense! Lucky for Nereus, it'll be slightly less shameful now xD

Sounds cool! Can definitely see that working well. As for Imrie, don't forget that there are also offensive Faith spells. But yeah, if she focuses more on the defensive ones then trying to combine them with magic won't be very useful. It's also the reason why Tahvo won't bother with it, he can only learn healing and support spells. I mean, imagine stabbing someone with a lance and it heals the opponent xD

Oh mood. It's even worse when you do come up with the right words but only when you're offline xD And once you get home, log on and try to write your brain is like "uh... how do I do words..."

Yeah, relic or no relic, getting bested by that idiot is gonna be super embarrassing xD Oh well, at least he doesn't have to live with the shame...
Briefly looked at our list of missions and paralogues (the ones we already decided on at least) and it looks like a few students will be using their relic or at least have it when it's time for the battle of the eagle and the lion. I know both of my Eagles will have theirs by then. Agnar will get his a month after the battle while Tahvo has to wait even longer. I think Grimm and Fion will have their relic too (Fion already has it with him if I remember correctly) so it would not be weird if Neason used Yartike for this.

Yes!!! I hate this so much xD Or you get a cool idea but by the time you get home from work you've already forgotten all about it. And then you remember it but only the next day. Right after leaving the house

He already has Yartike with him at the academy, right? Maybe he also uses it for the Garland Moon mission. Because that mission is pretty important to him. And the next time he uses it would be for the battle of the eagle and the lion. And maybe after that he doesn't use it until after his return. I mean, imagine him blaming himself even more for the outcome Guardian Moon mission because he didn't want to bring the relic
And Akakios questioning every single agarthan who was in the same group as Nereus because it's just that unbelievable that Neason of all people managed to beat him xD

Yeah, that too! When that happens I try to retrace my thought process step by step. "So first I was thinking of this and from there my mind jumped to that other thing and from there..." sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

Well, at least none of my Deer is gonna be too mad at him xD The only one who will yell at him is Zephyr the wyvern, since Callan will be a Malig Knight by then. Just swoops down to fly past Neason and roar at him while Callan apologizes for the wyvern's behaviour xD "Oh no, I'm so sorry about him. Anyway, nice to see yo-" *Zephyr roars even louder than before*

Shame I can't really do the 'talking to myself' thing at work, it would make it easier to keep track of my thoughts

Looks like most of them will be reacting positively to it then. Hm... I think Tahvo will give him a noogie or a pat on the back in his beastform because a hug would be too nice but punching him would be too mean. And then joke about how this seems to be a thing for the Golden Deer. First he himself didn't arrive until the mock battle at the end of the first month, then Rekka went missing for a about a week at the beginning of the Verdant Rain Moon and now Neason has been missing for a month so yeah, no big deal, this stuff happens all the time xD

Yup. The only difference is that Tahvo and Rekka had no control over it while Neason left of his own volition. Which is the only reason wolfboy won't give him a nice hug and opts for more "violent" stuff xD

It really is and I wouldn't blame anyone for throwing their headset to the ground and stomping on it. Or throwing it against the wall. Or down the stairs. No one does it of course because if we break them we have to pay for them and they are not worth the trouble xD It's always pretty funny when someone hears me swear for the first time though because most people who meet me for the first time just would never expect it, I don't really look like someone who swears regularly xD

Well, attempt dognapping in wolfboy's case but yeah, he didn't ask for those creepy cultists to keep coming after him. But now I'm also wondering how everyone else will react to Neason going missing for a month. The others may not be super invested in it but it's unlikely that they wouldn't give a shit at all either. Hm. Does Neason try to befriend students from the other houses or does he stick to his own class?

Oooh, nice. While there are cameras on all three floors there are some blindspots... but nah, swearing is much more fun xD
