@ Azz

Regarding the double "S" ranks in both Swords and Dragonstones for my Valla Noble variant, I can see where it can be a bit overpowered. I would like to keep the Dragonstone at "S" rank as this variant tries to focus more on transforming into a dragon, but maybe Swords can be left at "A". My justification for both "S" ranks is because this variant does not gain any new weapons and just tries to improve on the "base" class of Nohrian Prince(cess).

@ NekoKnight

I suppose "Silent World", which makes negates enemy skills (think Nihil) would work instead of Invisible Fang. I guess the only problem would be that Nihil exists, and something simple as a name change or giving another skill the same functionality may upset some people, but it's a cool idea.

* * * * *

In general, I also echo the sentiment that this topic has cool ideas. I like the idea of Lancers becoming Sentinels (I loved the Tellius saga), of proper Thieves coming back with the Steal command, Falconers, the Roy class, Griffins being expanded upon, etc.

... I also feel like every time I post in this topic I need to add another class to the pool. So, here goes!

[spoiler=Dancer]Class: Dancer (Nohrian, Solo Class)

Weapons: Lances "C"
Promotion Path: Azura Only // Unlocks after Conquest 14 // Unlock conditions in Birthright and Revelations are unknown
"A female who invigorates allies with her dancing. Can dance to cause various effects."

Pair Up Stats
HP STR MAG SKL SPD LCK DEF RES MOV
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 0
Skills
- Class Command: Dance (Grants an ally +2 to all stats that decays by 1 per turn.*)
- Level 1: Acrobat (All traversable terrain costs 1 movement point to cross.)
- Level 10: Inspiring Dance (+3 to a "Boon" stat for the unit who watches the user's dance.**)
- Level 25: Mesmerize (Enemies within a 2 tile radius suffer -10 to Hit.)
- Level 35: Encore (The first use of Dance counts as a free action.***)
* Turn of Dance = Full Effect. Next Turn, +1 all stats instead of +2. Next Turn, baseline. // This skill stacks with other buffs like from tonics and food.
** The stat declines at a -1 per turn, as per the Dance command, and stacks with the previous +2 // The "Boon" stat for characters not the Avatar is determined by their statue buff.
*** This opens up many different possibilities. Azura can dance, then move somewhere else to attack, dance, or wait. Alternatively, Azura can move somewhere, dance, and either dance again or attack something.
Author's Notes
A part of me is still bitter that Azura does not have access to her dark outfit outside of the cutscene. So, here is an attempt to remedy that situation!
First off, Acrobat returns as Azura has Tier 1 movement, so this should help her somewhat. I know that Acrobat is practically superior to Luck +4, but come on, she is practically an acrobat with all of her dancing and singing!
Then, Inspiring Dance follows Inspiring Song. The important difference between the two is that the Dance variant slowly fades away while the Song is done after the turn is over. Of course, it will be a guessing game for the player to figure out what "Boon" each unit has, but I think it's a powerful skill.
Thirdly comes Mesmerize, as the enemies will no doubt stare longingly into Azura's eyes, make groans of increasing discomfort, or just be distracted by her performance so that it is more difficult to land a hit.
Lastly came Encore. I thought about having Dance affect all adjacent units, also granting Encore to the Songtress class (so Azura can transcend and become a Heron), but this seemed to go a bit overboard with power. Having a free move opens up more tactical strategies, as Azura can dance and attack something (or just dance twice) if the player wishes to do so.
The biggest point of contention with this version of the Dancer is the fact that Rally skills exist. Sure, the dancer's buffs stick around and slowly decay instead of dissapearing, but for min-maxing, a rally bot is probably superior to using a Dancer. That, and I'm not sure how people will react between having the ability to move again (Songstress) or just having a buffed up unit (Dancer).

Hoshidan Unity is just a renamed Rightful King so I don't think it would be too inappropriate to have a Nihil-like skill (and there is no Nihil in Fates).

I really like Encore for the Dancer. One of the things I don't like about Dancers is that they constantly fall behind because they give other characters second actions. It only gets worse after everyone promotes and they have even less Move than everyone else. That's why I don't feel bad about giving Azura Warp.

True about Hoshidian Unity being a renamed Rightful King. So sure, let there be a Nihil-like skill in this hypothetical situation!

As for me, I'm running out of class ideas because any more suggestions would practically overlap with what has already been said or already has a role in the base game. Maybe when I get around to playing Birthright and Revelations I may have some more ideas, but now it's just a wait for the next title for Fire Emblem and see what they come up with there.

Boy how I wish Hero of Legend was real. Given that my avatar is running around wielding axes I feel like Yato gets wasted. Would be nice if someone got to use it!

And now to contribute, not gonna be too detailed. -

Gladiator - A fighting slave with excellent survival skills and skill at utilizing any weapon at hand.

Base Class - 6 Move

Max Weapon Ranks - C Sword/Axe/Lance

Maximum Stats - 55/HP, 19/Rest

-------------Note that 19 is a below average max for a base class. This class's high points is high HP/Move and the weapon triangle advantage.

Growth Rates - 35/HP, 5/Rest

-------------35 HP is even higher than Berserker. 5 Rest leaves the class as below average overall.

Skills

Level 1 Opportunist: When user triggers battle against an opponent already attacked this turn gain +10 Hit and +10 Critical.

Level 10 Pincer Attack: When another ally is adjacent and directly across an opponent gain +25 Critical and deal extra damage on critical hits.

-------------Obviously these two were designed to work in conjunction with one another. I almost called Pincer Attack Finisher instead.

Advances to Berserker or Champion.

Champion - A gladiator who has managed to survive long enough to not only become an Arena Champion, but also to win their freedom.

Advanced Class - 7 Move

Max Weapon Ranks - Upon advancement pick one of the three Gladiator weapons. You get an S rank in that weapon. You get an A rank in the weapon that counters the weapon that counters the S rank Weapon. You have C Rank in the remaining weapon. So for example a sword focused Champion would have Sword-S, Axe-A(since it counters lance), Lance-C. Also they did not become Champion by fighting fair so they also can gain up to C-Rank in Hidden Weapons(Dagger, Shuriken).

-------------Yeah, this guy can use just about anything as a weapon to some extent or another.

Maximum Stats - 90/HP, 28/STR, 27/MAG, 28/SKILL, 29/SPEED, 40/LUCK, 30/DEFENSE, 29/RESISTANCE

-------------Only HP and LUCK are of particular note. Everything else is rather sad.

Growth Rates - 50/HP, 5/STR, 5/MAG, 5/SKILL, 5/SPEED, 25/LUCK, 10/DEFENSE, 10/RESISTANCE

-------------Clearly I miss being able to +2 my HP on level up. Otherwise mostly the same old with a boost to survivability.

Skills

Level 5 Dirty Fighter - When fighting outdoors you utilize tactics such as throwing dirt/sand/mud into an opponents eyes or of keeping the sun in your enemy's eyes. When fighting outdoors enemies miss chance is increased by 50% of its original value. So if the enemy had a 90% chance they now have an 85% chance. If they had a 60% chance they now have a 40% chance.

Level 15 Master Exploiter - Weapon advantage is doubled when in your favor. No change when you are disadvantaged.

-------------The Basic Idea is to utilize the weapon triangle to gain an insane evasion rate. Originally I was going to have Dirty fighter double the chance. But I figured double advantage + an S Rank AND an A Rank + full triangle coverage + double evasion chance was just way overkill.

Hey, I did one whole line, now this time a singular advanced class that's strictly for Corrin and also is for Revelations.

Fated Noble: A noble who fights for their own fate in life, not one that life hands them.

Weapons: Swords - C, Magic - C, Staves - C, Dragon Stone - C

Skills: Level 5 - Dragonic Lore, Level 15 - Revelation

Growths:

10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 5% 15% 15%

Max Stats:

HP 57 STR 31 MAG 27 SKL 32 SPD 28 LCK 33 DEF 34 RES 29

Notes: Basically a combination of the Hoshido and Nohr Noble, but be the Revelation path's version. Coloring would be blue like the ocean.

Dragonic Lore would grant the Dragonstone the abilty to double attack, but with only a bonus of +2 def/res.

Revelation would give +2 to all stats. Hence why it is a level 15 advanced class skill.

And now for more ridiculous class ideas. Please note that these classes can be somewhat of a spoiler, so be wary when reading!

* * * * *

[spoiler=Rightful King]

Class: Rightful King (Nohrian, Unique Class)

Weapons: Axe "S", Tome "A"

Promotion Path: True!Garon Only (Complete Paralogue "The Rightful King" to recruit True!Garon. Unobtainable in Birthright. Becomes available in Conquest after Chapter 26. Revelations unlock condition unknown.)

"The true King of Nohr. One wonders if he sets out for vengeance or redemption."

Max Stats

HP STR MAG SKL SPD LCK DEF RES MOV

80 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 6, Foot (Rightful King)

Pair Up Stats

HP STR MAG SKL SPD LCK DEF RES MOV

0 +3 +3 +2 +2 0 0 +3 0

Skills

=Personal Skill: Nohrian Charm (If a friendly unit within 2 spaces has a C+ support with the user, that unit has +15 Hit and +15 Avoid.)

- Level 1: Blood of Dusk (At the start of each turn, enemies within 2 spaces lose 10% HP. Cannot kill.)

- Level 10: Draconic Blow (When user triggers the battle, damage received -10*)

- Level 25: Relentless (When user defeats a unit, move to its space and allow for another attack.**)

- Level 35: Rightful King (Debuffs from using weapons are ignored.***)

* Essentially a combined version of Armored and Warding Blow.

** This ability chains, so if there is a crowd of enemy units, the Rightful King can theoretically kill them all if they are chained correctly. // When dealing with Guard Stance, the survivor is relocated to Garon's original space.

*** So, if using a Silver Weapon, Garon will not have reduced stats. If using Brave Weapons, Garon does not suffer from -4 DEF & RES. Steel weapons do not suffer from -3 SPD, and so on. // Limitations like "cannot crit" or "follow up" are still in place.

Author's Notes:

I really like our "expanded universe, revised" Garon we have been discussing over the message boards and in fan art. In addition, I thought it would be fun to control a boss character in Fates (Sacred Stones did it with Lyon, and Radiant Dawn with the Black Knight), as well as expand more on the True Garon instead of the boring Slime Garon we have.

Rightful King is deliberately meant to be overpowered. His max stats are taken from his Boss counterpart and his skills take inspiration from his various Boss forms, as well as some of the stories told by Leo to Elise of True!Garon. His personal skill, while broadened to include all units, is meant to reflect on "Garon the Ladies Man" in his younger days. Draconic Blow combines his skillset as a boss of Armored Blow and Warding Blow, Blood of Dusk reflects the Dusk Dragon in Garon's veins, Relentless is due to Garon's prowess on the battlefield, and Rightful King is Rightful King (changed for Fates as its original functionality has been moved to the "Hoshido" skill).

Support List:

- Nohr Royals (Xander, Camilla, Leo, Elise)

- Hoshido Royals (Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura)

- Azura, Corrin

- Gunter, Shura

[spoiler=Astral Guardian]

Class: Astral Guardian (Other, Unique Class)

Weapons: Breath "A", Staff "A", Lance "B"

- Level 1: Astral Vein (Command. Summons a Dragon's Vein. Effects vary.**)

- Level 10: Astral Warp (Command. Allows user to warp to Corrin and then take an action.)

- Level 25: Astral Summon (Command. Summons a unit from My Castle to assist.***)

- Level 35: Astral Mastery (+2 Range to Astral Breath and Astral Blessing.)

* This skill can kill Lilith. Incoming damage is calculated for Corrin, no separate calculation is made for Lilith stepping in.

** Summons a random "generic" Dragon's Vein. Effects include, but not limited to, firing off a projectile that does damage in an area, heal nearby allies, replicate the user, or temporarily change the surrounding terrain. This skill can be used multiple times per map.

*** Depending on the route, you will get either Puppets or Stoneborn (or randomly chosen between either if you are on Revelations). You can use this skill as many times as you have units in My Castle (so max 3 Stoneborn and max 3 Puppets, for a total of 6 summons). // If this unit is defeated, it will take a Dragon Point to repair it. // If nothing is built, the option is greyed out.

Author's Notes:

Make Lilith playable! The main reason I added in "Lance" proficiency is because I remember reading somewhere that she was to be a Sky Knight at some point before changing her character.

Lilith is predominately human in this class, transforming to her dragon self for her Breath attacks and her unique "Staff" Astral Blessing. Otherwise, when using lances and normal staves, she remains a human. Maybe she can have some more story development besides the start, My Castle interactions, and the cheap sendoffs...

*: This is not a trigger skill, it is active at all times.

**: This is an offensive trigger, so it won't work with weapons that cannot activate offensive skills.

**: I was originally going to have it be a lower hp prerequisite but not need to proc. I'm not really sure which would be more balanced/useful; feedback would be cool. :)

Dragoon

​Knights whose fates have been intertwined with dragons. They use aerial combat to better pierce the scales and wings of their mortal enemies.

Lv1: Acrobat (All traversable terrain costs 1 movement point to cross.)

Lv10: Jump (Jump command attacks with +5 atk and 1-3 range using a Lance/Naginata. Follow-up attacks cannot be made, and user suffers spd -3)*

Lv25: Wyrmsbane (+5 Damage dealt to dragons.)**

Lv35: Blood of the Dragon ("Use" a carried dragonstone to apply stat bonuses/detriments as if it was equipped to all adjacent allies and self for 1 turn.)***

*: Stat drop is treated as weakness and recovers 1/turn. It will stack.

**: I feel bonus damage would be too strong as a passive since all avatars/avatar children/bond units are stuck with the dragon status, but I'd really rather this be a passive. So I'm making it similar to trample.

***: Using does not consume. Using a dragonstone+ will apply its weakness cost to the user (mag-2, skl-2)

Make Lilith playable! The main reason I added in "Lance" proficiency is because I remember reading somewhere that she was to be a Sky Knight at some point before changing her character.

Lilith is predominately human in this class, transforming to her dragon self for her Breath attacks and her unique "Staff" Astral Blessing. Otherwise, when using lances and normal staves, she remains a human. Maybe she can have some more story development besides the start, My Castle interactions, and the cheap sendoffs...

Is it bad that I laughed when I read the personal skill?

Here's an idea from a newbie

Bushi: A Hoshido Armored Samurai who defends their Feudal Lord with Katana.

Compared to the Samurai class, they have lower Speed and Skill, but higher Defense. Can promote to Shogun or Calvary Bushi.

Armor Attribute

Weapon: Swords

Skills

Level 1: Seal Skill-After Battle, enemy's Skill -6.

Level 10: Honor Bound- When user triggers the battle, user gains +1 Damage, +10% Hit Rate, +5% Avoid, and +5% Critical Rate after Battle. Buffs stack after each battle (max 5 stacks). Unit loses all buffs if they switch to a different weapon.

Shogun: A Hoshido Feudal Lord with many vassals. Adept with Katanas, Naginata, and Scrolls

Possesses High Defense and Offensive Stats, but may lack Speed and Resistance.

Amor Attribute

Weapon: Swords, Lance, Tomes.

Skills

Level 5: Support Vassals- When user is the Support Unit, the Lead Unit gain +10 Critical Rate and Critical Dodge.

Level 15: Feudal Lord- When user is the Support unit, the Lead unit gain user's Skills that activate after battle.

Calvary Bushi: A Hoshido Armored Samurai who rides on Horseback. They defend their Feudal Lords with Katana and Yumi.

Excels in Defense and Skill.

Armor and Horse Attributes

Weapon: Sword, Bow

Skills

@Honey Bunny - You know, given that the iconic image of a pirate to my knowledge is an individual with a Cutlass and a Pistol, I just have to say that Pirates + Axes in RPG's always throws me for a loop. That said I understand why this is the case. We have no shortage of class options in RPG's that can logically wield swords. Axes meanwhile tend to have a smaller pool. And axes aren't entirely nonsensical for pirates. Pirates used Boarding Axes after all(well most naval fighters who could potentially end up in a boarding action did). In addition the Viking raiders, which serve as inspiration for berserker type classes, were sea born raiders which is effectively what a pirate is. And of course if you image search viking you are going to see a lot with axes.

So yeah I get it, game balance and it is even historically inspired. Still I prefer to call the Axe 'Pirates' Raiders or something. Particularly if they have no water based skills, which thankfully you avoided doing.

As for the weapon rank issue. given that it seems a lot of folks are more than happy using forged irons as their mainstay weapon I doubt a low weapon rank is too inhibiting. I mean with a B rank max you are only giving up Brave Axe, Venge Club, and the S rank Aurgelmir. The bigger hit would be your triangle advantage loss. B -> S is a decent amount of lost hit when you are advantaged and Axe wielders need every point of hit they can get. Still depending on how much higher that stats were in skill you could easily make that up. That said Berserker is a moderately high skill class so even a Very high skill class would only have a few points on them. Not enough to reverse the advantage bonus. That said the skill boosted hit would always be effective where as Triangle hit would only be good against lances and hidden weapons.

So back to topic I'll make a sea raider class.

Raider

Powerful Fighters who are capable of rapidly striking and then running away, often avoiding capture by taking to the seas. Raiders are known to recruit from among common outlaws.

Promoted class

Advances from Outlaw or Fighter.

Growths

HP 0 - STR 30 - MAG 0 - SKL 15 - SPD 15 - LCK 25 - DEF 0 - RES 0

I basically just reordered the Berserker's Growth rates. Unlike the Berserker the Raider is supposed to be a glass cannon.

Maximum Stats

HP 55 - STR 42 - MAG 25 - SKL 34 - SPD 32 - LCK 40 - DEF 26 - RES 25

Glass Cannon. 'Nuff said. 2 more strength and skill than berserker and 15 more luck. 15 less hp and 1 less speed, defense, and resistance. I guess it is slightly in favor of the Raider, but I would normally trade 15 luck for 15 hp in a heartbeat. So 1 more total stats I don't think is too imbalanced there.

Maximum Weapon Ranks

fefates-icon-axe.png A fefates-icon-bow.png B

As mentioned above I am imagining someone who utilizes Pistols + a close combat weapon. Obviously we don't have pistols in fire emblem. And before the time of flintlock, bows would suffice for the pre-boarding barrage. Hidden weapons were another option, but I did not want weapon triangle manipulation in this class. And the easiest way to remember the triangle pair I have seen is the Axes/Bows go together because they are the 'outlaw' type weapons. As such if I was considering axes bows seemed the natural pairing. Plus, I did not want 1-2 range as a 'default' option. The whole point of two weapons was so that their ranges would complement one another. Bows for range and Axes for close combat fills that role.

Skills

Watery Escape - When within 2 tiles of or on a Water, Ice, or Boat tile grain +1 move and +10 Hit/Avoid. You do not suffer movement or avoid penalties from crossing the aforementioned terrain.

Switch Hitter - When attacked if you cannot counter with your equipped weapon switch to a weapon that you can counter with at the cost of -10 Hit/Avoid and the inability to make follow up attacks or trigger critical hits.

The idea being that they switch to bows if attacked at range or axes if attacked in close combat. The class is fast enough that the loss of doubling would actually be felt. Mechanically it would probably just equip the first weapon in your inventory list that can counter. I was going to word it as 'the most effective weapon', but that would enable dual club shenanigans for Triangle exploitation. You could still do it to an extent since you could have the dual club in position 2 while having a bow equipped. This way if someone tries to sword you, they get a nasty surprise. The 1-2 range axes would still be useful to avoid the Penalties, though you lose skill activation in turn(As Sol is the only available activation skill without out classing, this may not be too huge). This could also be exploited by an enemy that has bow breaker but not axe breaker. Attack from two range and if the Raider lacks a 1-2 axe you effectively get 60 Hit and Avoid. Or vice versa of course.

And I have clearly spent too much thought on this.

Ah, I get what you mean about pirates wielding swords and such, but the reason I made the class wield axes was because Pirates in older Fire Emblems wielded axes. Specifically Ross, a favorite character of mine, became a very badass pirate. To a certain extent it's a bit of a love letter that was the badassery of Ross, thus the extremely high stats. Personally I'd actually have pirates wield hidden weapons because they were not known for being kind, but I find certain charm in a seafaring axe user.

Would D->C weapon rank be right then? Looking at that rank progression seems like it'd be too much of a hindrance to me.

Actually, weapon rank affects your attack stats even without WTA. How the rank affects it is dependent on the weapon, but in Awakening at least it worked like this:

Swords:

C: +1 Atk

B: +2 Atk

A: +3 Atk, +5 Hit

Axes:

C: +5 Hit

B: +10 Hit

A: +15 Hit, +1 Atk

Lances (don't remember this one exactly):

C: +5 Hit

B: +10 Hit, +1 Atk

A: +10 Hit, +2 Atk

And I've certainly noticed a similar effect in Fates, where the difference between a D rank in kunai and a C rank in kunai is that the character with a C rank has +1 Atk compared to the character with a D rank.
