So I thought the RNG was my bitch until...

I got these RN's: LHLHHH. Reset the game, did nothing that would use any rn's, and attacked Paul (one of the desert bosses).

Lucius attacks Paul with 100% hit and 11% crit. Paul cannot retaliate since its a ranged attack.

Lucius performs two criticals in a row. I understand the first one, but how is the second possible if the next 3 rn's are HHH?

It may be burning an RN after critical determination to check to assassination. I think it always does that, even if the class is not assassin. Check the next couple RNs in the stream.

That's what I hypothesized as well, and indeed that's probably what it is. I just always thought it only applies to assassins but I guess not.

Yes. When you get a critical hit a 4th RN is always rolled to check for assassinate, even when not an assassin.

This is also true for FE8.

i once considered using the memory viewer and judicious amounts of hacking to decide what actions burn an RN

i stopped after i realized that (potentially) any staff could burn an RN

Im 99.9% sure that healing staves dont burn a RN. Sleep, silence, and berserk have hit rate so they should burn RNs. Does the rescue staff burn a RN like warp does? I could test it myself but I dont have any save files with the rescue staff at the moment...

Don't test with the arrows, I meant testing with VBA's memory viewer.

I could check the source code (or just memory hack a rescue staff into someone's inventory) if necessary but i'm lazy

If you get the string

45 (tails), 32 (tails), 45 (tails)

and you test a result that burns only one RN

you would see

(tails) -> (tails)

I suppose with longer strings it's more accurate but I find it's far easier (and faster) to just watch the string of RNs get burned in real-time.
