Current one, unchanged.

+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.

Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.

I don't know but I want to see the results.

And staffs have weight now.

A necessary change.

[Xanmyral]

You amurrikans and your mountain-thievery. Hmph!

Hey, steal big or go home, you know? We've been contemplating the oceans next.

A necessary change.

A lot of changes there were for the weapons.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I've been giving thought lately to whether maybe people with staves should counter with them as melee weapons if attacked... But I dunno.

Obviously all the staves would have a MGT of zero if we did this.

[Xanmyral]

You could, but I'd consider them with zero MT, as you said, and generally terrible weapons. We're talking about thin scepters, rods, wands, and maybe a staff. They're fancy, ornate, and filled with magic but lack the gruff to stand up to actual weapons and iron. I'd almost just say stat up an unarmed attack and have them counter with that instead.

I dunno, 0 MT, 0 WT, 80 HIT, 0 Crit, - QL?

Of course, that will lead to shenanigans where people finish enemies by punching them to death instead of using their weapons, in order to conserve QL.

[SeriousConcentrate]

@Blade: It's kinda dumb. Why would I want to waste a use of my heal staff hitting an enemy for 1 damage BEFORE their defense nullifies it?

[Blade Master Model 42]

I'd rather avoid the unarmed nonsense. Those stats, apart from the WT could be used for Staff combat.

Of course, that could allow Saints to hold a choke in the most ridiculous way possible. Drop tons of points in STR, DEF, RES, and HP, take Imbue for the character skill and punch everyone out when they come to kill you.

So maybe this is an awful idea.

[Rolepgeek]

Staves use MAG for something, so you can't take Imbue.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Staves use MAG for something, so you can't take Imbue.

I meant Center.

They're the same skill, just in reverse.

EDIT: Current poll seems fairly clear cut. What's next?

[Xanmyral]

I'm personally happy with the current rules we have with staffs, honestly.

It was mostly idle contemplation anyway. It didn't work well in FE10, it probably wouldn't work well here either.

Ok next up is Battle Mages. Poll updated.
Also I assume that Imbue Arrow can be used at the range that any of the chosen weapons allow.

[Blade Master Model 42]

The Battle Mage should of course mention which weapon is their 'Dominant' weapon when they use imbue arrow. It will use range, accuracy, crit, etc based on that, as well as determining activation of personal skills. Then the lower of the two weapon's MGT is used, then you run it through the battle stat formula like any other attack.

[Solymr]

Oh god why is it suddenly so complicated.
I see a couple ways to resolve it:
1. The BM chooses the main weapon. Open to abuse.
2. The stats of the weapon with less MT is used. Also determines if uses STR or MAG.
3. The mean of the stats of both weapons are used.

1. FEF is all about abuse.
2. I don't like this. What if someone wants to use a longbow of some kind to zap somebody from 3 tiles, but their magic only goes out two and has lower MGT? No way. This does bring up the question of 'what about ballistae', to which I say, what about them?
3. Too much math. Veto.

[Solymr]

I said before that I assumed it could be used at the range any of the weapons chosen allowed :v
