Good. It's nice to know what ideas you like. Expanding on ideas: Slow Blade: Wielder cannot double, but neither can enemy. Brave Flux: Flux Tome, but with a Brave effect. It makes sense because Dark Magic is heavy! Armor Shredder: Enemy Defense is dropped by 4 after combat. Piercing Bow: Ignores half of enemy Defense. Izanami: Dark Tome, has Lethality attached to it innately. Hades: Dark Tome, 20% Chance to ignore enemy Resistance When I do this, tell me what you like and what you don't ASAP.

Oh, can you give me a top ten on my weapon ideas? I'd like to see what I'm doing right.

Guess I should throw my hat into the character ring. Name: Zero Class: Assasin (Level 5) Joins: About 2/3's in, when you start promoting. Bio: An artificial humanoid created by (Insert Villain Name) that disagreed with his actions and ideals and grew a soul. Created as an Assasin to kill (insert good party-allied noble), but finally decided not to and joined (Hero's) group. He chose his name based on his lack of knowledge or personality, being empty and hollow, like the number 0. The one who angsts the most. Stats: HP: 25 Strength: 15 Defence: 13 Skill: 27 Speed: 21 Resistance: 10 Luck: 18 Personal Skill: Born to Kill Zero gains a boost to Skill and Speed after Lethality activates.

Good luck!

Oh. It's cool. Class: Give Dancers swords? Weapons: Darkreaver (Anima tome that reverses the magic triangle) Animareaver (see above, Light Tome) Lightreaver (see above, Dark Tome) Edit: Choose which of my ideas you like (in a top 10 format with reasons why, preferably?) before I decide on sprites.

Leon can use spears from the start as well as swords- I just am gonna punt an Iron Lance instead of a unique weapon.

(Warning: Shameless Plug) You know, I have my own game idea. It's full of ideas. It's the thread titled Fire Emblem: Four Heroes and the Hollow King. I've got backstory, normal story, and characters. Would you be interested in a merger of sorts?

Weapons: Haste (Staff, Range of Mag/2, doubles an allies Speed) Quick Bow (Doubles Speed of Wielder) Brave Flare (Fire Tome with Brave effect) Skill: Trueshot Gain a flat 15% to accuracy.

Skill: Phantom This unit can go through enemies. Payback: If the unit dodges an attack, they automatically crit. Weapons: Thunderstorm (Bolting, but has a cross-shaped 5 space AOE) Onyx Sword (1-2 Range Sword, acts like Flux a 2 Range) Ruby Blade (1-2, acts like Fire) Emerald Sword (1-2, acts like Wind) Topaz Blade (Acts like Thunder) Diamond Blade (Acts like Shine)

More classes: White Knight (mounted, Sword and Light Magic, gains Staves on promotion to Holy Knight) Rune Knight (mounted, Spear and Anima Magic, Promotes to Spell Knight and gains Bows) Weapons: Bloodedge (Sword with Nosferatu's Life Drain ability) Stop (Staff that has a range of Mag/2, cuts Enemy Speed in half and prevents movement) Dull Weapon (Staff with range of Mag/2, cuts Attack in half)

More classes: White Knight (mounted, Sword and Light Magic, gains Staves on promotion to Holy Knight) Rune Knight (mounted, Spear and Anima Magic, Promotes to Spell Knight and gains Bows) Weapons: Bloodedge (Sword with Nosferatu's Life Drain ability) Stop (Staff that has a range of Mag/2, cuts Enemy Speed in half and prevents movement) Dull Weapon (Staff with range of Mag/2, cuts Attack in half)

Skills: Slow/Quick Burn: Allows the "Slow/Quick Burn" menu option. When you activate Slow Burn, the character's turn ends. The next two turns are normal, but the 3rd and 4th have the character get all stats a 1.5x multiplier. The 5th and on have normal stats. Quick burn is the same, but with the stats kicking in the turn immediately after activating at a 2.0x multiplier, but the turn after having stats halved. More weapons: Dancing Edge: If Wielder Speed is 3x greater than Enemy, you get 3 attacks instead of 2. (Meant for Thieves and Myrmidons) Healer: Heal any character at Magic/2 range and any ally character in the four spaces surrounding them. Guard Lance: +3 Defence and Resistance, -3 Speed and Skill (meant for Knights)

I may not be good at characters, but I have got weapon and class ideas by the dozen! Classes: Tactitian (Swords and Anima Magic, promotes into Grandmaster to gain Staves) Wyvern Mage (Mage, but on a wyvern! Maybe promotes to get Spears?) Dark Knight (Axes and Dark Magic, mounted) Weapons: Runeblade (Uses Wielder Strength vs. Enemy Resistance to deal damage) Sword Rain (Anima Tome, uses Wielder Magic vs. Enemy Defence) Graceful Sword (Ups Speed and Skill by 3, but lowers Defence and Resistance by 3 as well) Wrath Sword (Might doubles when below half HP)

Not bad ideas at all! Though I was thinking of having an 8 element system- Fire, Ice, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind, Light and Darkness.

If you've played Fates, you've probably seen and used Dragon Veins. Do you have any ideas for how the idea could be used in a fangame? For the uninitiated: Dragon Veins are points in the map that, if you move a "Royal" character (Corrin, Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura, Azura, Xander, Camilla, Leo, Elise, and any of their children) onto and can activate an effect that changes the map. Evaporating/freezing bodies of water, changing the landscape, damaging a group of enemies, healing a group of allies, and other powerful strategy-changing techniques. Idea 1: A different element for every Royal. Each "Royal" could specialize in different elemental Veins. Using some of Fates's characters, perhaps Leo could use Plant Veins to grow evasion-boosting forests and tree bridges, but Hinoka's Fire Veins can burn them down just as quickly, and evaporate lakes? Elise's Water Veins are great for removing deserts and healing allies, but Takumi's Wind Veins can push enemies away, create flyer-impairing storms and move debris?

Unique weapons: Fencer- A moderately uncommon sword used in duels. Leon's starting weapon. Grants +1 to Speed and Skill. Okami- A elegantly curved blade with an eastern hilt. Lycan's starting weapon, grants +5% to crit rate and dodge chance. Fafnir Flame- A fiery tome with written in a unusual language. One of Vern's starting weapons. Not that powerful, but incredibly light. Dragon Fang- A sword said to be carved out of dragon bone. Vern's second starting weapon. 1-2 range, uses Vern's Strength vs. Enemy Resistance at range. Swan Princess- An elegant weapon for a civilized lady. Kiera's starting weapon. Increases Speed by 4 when equipped.

Thank you for the heads-up. I've heard good things about FEXP, though. I'm still debating it, though. I probably won't get serious about this until my summer vacation.

Thank you for the advice. I think I'll do it in FEXP. I have school, so until I have a good break this will mostly be just talking about story and characters with a little gameplay ideas.

Other Characters- Crim- Leon's childhood friend and princess of Zure. She's kind and thoughtful, but she's a bit naive and sheltered. The one with the largest coin purse. Class: Troubadour. Zeke- Keon's other friend and an aspiring mage. He's very sarcastic, but he's also analytical and often noticed something others don't. The one who rolls his eyes the most. Class: Mage. Connor- A thief hired by Vern. He's sneaky and likes puns, but has a soft spot for children. The most quiet in a conversation. Class: Thief. Stacy- A cleric and medic hired by Vern. She's sweet, but shy, and doubts her own capabilities. The most jealous of other women's... assets. Class: Cleric. Randall- A wandering warrior that Kiera runs into, who loves a good fight. He's very chivalrous, and hates mysoginistic people. The first to work out in the morning. Class: Fighter. Grace- A friend of Randall's, who protects the town of Rlet from monsters and bandits. The most adept at fixing her hair. Class: Archer. New gameplay ideas- The four main characters each have a four chapter-long prologue, before they meet up with each other. You choose which order you fo them in. Leon's is more gimmicky. The first chapter is an escape mission, the second is a survival, third is a defensive mission and the fourth is a defeat all bosses mission. Lycan is a series of solo missions, usually involving killing a boss with limited weaponry, items and levels. Vern's is straightforward, all are routing the enemy. Kiera is also straightforward routing missions. Promotions are branching, like Sacred Stones, with the protagonists being the exception. Certain gaiden chapters have unique conditions, like having certain support levels between characters, having a group of characters alive, having all characters being alive, having everyone above a certain level, or having a certain amount of money.

I'd go with Eliwood, Owain, Jaffar, Nino or Ephraim.

Roy I can do this... Right? Here goes nothing! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I hope this works... Shinon ...Really? Please, just die. Not worth the effort. You're an eyesore. Jaffar ...Die. ...Make your peace. ...Goodbye. Forever. ...Begone. Haar Zzzzzzzzz.... *yawn* Good night. Why'd you wake me up?

Allright, while I don't have any pictures or sprites or much of anything, but I've had this on the backburner for a while now. 1. Setting On the continent of Ragnell, 2000 years ago the dragon's were fought and banished to a faraway isle called Alondite. But now, a new threat emerges: A conquering, mysterious tyrant know only as the Hollow King. Who is this dangerous man, and why does he conquer? But four heroes will rise up to fight him! 2. Protagonists Leon-A brash knight serving the first country conquered by the Hollow King, who was protecting King Aze. After being knocked away by a incredibly strong backhand by a Hollow Knight, he watched as a sword plunged into the king's chest. Taking the king's daughter Crim, and his mage friend Zeke, he fled. He vows revenge upon the Hollow King. His class is the Vigilante, who is like a Cavalier, but on foot and with higher defense and less speed. Lycan- An ex-general of the Hollow King, Lycan realized that he did not feel the same about the Hollow King's conquering ways. He fled, and plans to fight against his old master. His class is the Blade Prince, who is a Myrmidon with higher strength. Vern- A mysterious cloaked man, who hates the Hollow King with a burning passion. But why does he hate him so, and why is his face obscured? His class is Tactitian, who wields Anima Magic and swords. Kiera- A dancer with stranger powers that the Hollow King desires, who simply wants to live in peace. She fights because she does not like her days locked inside the Hollow King's dungeons. Her class is the Dancer, but she can fight with swords, and her stats are rather Myrmidon-esque, without the focus on critical hits.
