I second this

But Herb Merchant is a learnable class

Should Arthur (Harold) be our Bad Luck Brian? We should make a caption of him. (his tcg artwork works best)

Camilla. The eldest daughter of the Nohrian royal family. She has a loving personality, like a mother, and especially dotes on the Avatar. On the other hand, she shows no mercy for her enemies and reveals a cruel side of herself on the battlefield. Bathes the longest. [spoiler=Marriage/Buddy Seals] Spoiler (Marriage/Buddy Seals) A Marriage/Buddy seal allows a unit to reclass into one of the select class trees of his spouse (S support) or buddy (A+ support). A unit may only achieve an S support with units of the opposite gender (exc. Kamui, Syalla, Zero), and may only achieve an A+ support with units of the same gender. (The credit for the following information goes to Gayserbeam, as I copied the wording of his explanation. Check out the Class Changing and Inheritance Thread for more information. If the users Primary Class is different than their Spouses/Buddys Primary Class, then the Marriage/Buddy Seal will reclass them to the Spouses/Buddys Primary Class, even if the user has that class as a Secondary Class already. If the users Primary Class is the same as their Spouses/Buddys Primary Class, then the Marriage/Buddy Seal will reclass them to the Spouses/Buddys Secondary Class. If the user is married or buddied with a unit who has an unlearnable class, then the Marriage/Buddy Seal will reclass them to the Spouses/Buddys Secondary Class.An unlearnable class is a class that may be unique to a character or their children. The following units have unlearnable classes: Nishiki (Fox Spirit), Flannel (Garou), Azura (Singer), Mozume (Villager). If the user is married or buddied with a unit who has an unlearnable class, and their Primary Class is the same as their Spouses/Buddys Secondary Class, then the Marriage/Buddy Seal will reclass them to the Spouses/Buddys Substitute Class. A Substitute Class is simply a select class a character with an unlearnable class passes down under certain circumstances. The following units have Substitute Classes: Nishiki (Herb Merchant), Flannel (Outlaw), Azura (Rod Knight), Mozume (Herb Merchant). If youre still confused, let me use Camilla as an example to try and clarify matters! Camilla/Zero: Camilla's Primary Class is Wyvern Rider, and Zero's is Outlaw. Therefore, Camilla would Marriage Seal into Outlaw.Camilla/Odin: Camilla's Primary Class is Wyvern Rider, and Odin's is Dark Mage. Therefore, Camilla would Marriage Seal into Dark Mage. As Camilla's Secondary Class is Dark Mage, she would not receive a new class tree from Odin. Camilla/Belka: Camilla's Primary Class is Wyvern Rider, and Belka's is Wyvern Rider. Therefore, Camilla would Buddy Seal into Belka's Secondary Class-- Fighter. Camilla/Flannel: As Flannel's Primary Class is Garou, an unlearnable class, Camilla would Marriage Seal into his Secondary Class-- Fighter. Camilla/Wyvern Rider!Avatar: Avatar's Primary Class is Nohr Prince, an unlearnable class. Camilla's Primary Class is Wyvern Rider, and Avatar's Secondary Class is Wyvern Rider. Therefore, Camilla would Marriage Seal into his Substitute Class-- Pegasus Warrior.

It would be so easy that we need stat penalties to compensate. *the user is intentionally holding back*

Only the USER is required to have full HP. So, if the enemy is below half. As long as the USER is at full. It will activate.

Good for dodgy units though.

Spare - At FULL HP, "fatal" strikes leaves Enemy's HP to 1. (basically a modified mercy) Well, you're not at full HP very often. Useful for training weak units with awesome growths.

This is why Kaze is Bae

Sallya -> Tharja Syalla -> Thjara .......I think. Assuming "j" is not read the same as in English
