You should still have my email from last time. If you've lost it, I can send it again.

You know what? I got three good new novels for Christmas to get me started and I'm finally getting back into the reading spirit. I'll take on the challenge this year!

I was getting ready to go to bed when I spotted a big nasty-looking spider crawling around on the covers. I tried to fling it away and it disappeared somewhere beneath the covers.

Guess I'm not sleeping tonight :/

Found it, got rid of it. Blessed sleep!

Their level doesn't matter nearly as much as how many stats are going up each level. Just get them roughly as strong as the rest of the team, or at least good enough that they won't die if something sneezes at them. If you try to level them up and they get few or no stats each time, drop them in favor of someone else.

Mia's kinda redundant because you already have Ike as a swordsman, but you should probably get Soren a bit stronger if you can. He can potentially attack 4 times per combat (Adept yo), and if his stats go up properly he has a not-insignificant chance to crit on every one of them. He's a solid mage and does an excellent job fighting other mages IIRC.

Not that Mia's bad or anything - I prefer her to the other myrmidon you get - and once she hits Swordmaster she can do an excellent job holding chokepoints all on her own.

PTW. The only Fire Emblem I've played to completion is Path of Radiance and it was very fun. I've also played the English GBA titles and I'm sorta playing Awakening. I just recently found out that characters in Awakening can have all the supports they want (though only one S-rank) - a HUGE difference from the other games I played where each character gets like five supports total.

Soooo, to kick off the discussion...

Got Path of Radiance for Christmas. Liking it so far, but Chapter 11 is a huge friggin' difficulty spike. First there was the fact that Boyd kept dying, then the Black Knight randomly came out of that totally random house in the middle... and up until around the part where Greil dies this thing was a piece of cake.

Should I start being more gratuitous in handing out bonus EXP or something?

Pro tip about the Bonus EXP: Hand it out in 21-or-lessEXP chunks instead of filling the whole bar at once. If you add too much at a time, it starts costing additional BEXP for each EXP the character gets. This should help stretch things a bit further.

You may also wish to invest in custom weapons, but they get really REALLY expensive.

Move to the door and attempt to open it!

((...you're sure about this? Open the door that's being bashed from behind?))

((I thought the door on the west wall was NOT being bashed from behind and lead to the dungeon teleporter?))

That'd catch you some hot water for necro'ing.

Don't be silly. I doubt anyone would mind necroing a thread in order to actually continue discussion on it.
