What if Past FE Characters have PERSONAL SKILLS?

Honestly due to the way the game works, theres no way you can consider Shade anything but good on knight

On Kellam it would be godlike for chapter 2 in Awakening too

To clarify, enemies would attack him only if he's the only one in their range.

So its no different from the actual game

Mostly, unless things get really crowded.

Like when there's a guy with an armorslayer and Frederick and Kellam is in his range, HE WOULD ATTACK FREDERICK.

They would also be more likely to try and attack someone like Tharja, Lissa, or Maribelle, which is what they are getting at. Kellam is also supposed to be a tank to protect the squishies from getting killed, and when they ignore him to hit one of them, he is really losing his one purpose, which I guess would fit with the character's gimmick, but also make the only knight in the whole game useless.

[Tessie Spoon]

I'd imagine that any main Lord would have a skill that raises the bonuses they get from supports, while reducing damage all allies on the map take. It'd be called Trusted Commander or something, and be an personal skill the Lord doesnt start with.

Well, that'd depend on the Lord. You'd expect Lords like Marth or Ephraim to start with it, whereas others have their own personal skills evolve into it at some point. Imagine Ike starting with no personal skill, but getting Trusted Commander when

he promotes to Lord.

I'd expect characters like Mia to have a skill that lets them take less damage from and deal more damage to male units; Mia did take up a sword because of sexist attitudes towards swordswomen.

Confident, intelligent characters like Lute would have a skill that raises their weapon proficiency gain, as well as their Skill.

Is that a typo? You would need to be using a concoction to even get a single hit point. If you're talking about 5% of the user's HP, that would mean 1 HP for every 20, that's objectively worse than Azura's ability that heals 10% every turn for everyone in 2 spaces of her.

Yeah, 5% of full HP. And while it would suck early on, it'd get better later.

[Jotari]

That's still only going to heal an extra 6 units at max HP. Just healing 5 units regardless would make it much more viable.

[Alastor15243]

Yeah, 5% of full HP. And while it would suck early on, it'd get better later.

The maximum it would ever heal is 4 at 80-85 HP. And this requires the use of items to work, while nearly all percentage healing abilities are passive and require nothing, in addition to healing much more HP. The closest thing to this is Setsuna's ability, and that heals FIFTY percent more when healed by staves. Somewhere along that range would be much more balanced.

Miriel: Overbearing Intellegence - If Miriel has 5 or more Magic Stat than the enemy, gives an extra 5 Damage

Laurent: Boy Genius - If against a higher level enemy, Magic + 5 and Crit +10%

Forgot about her's... yeah you're right. What's a good number? 25%?

[Alastor15243]

I'd say 100%. Individual charges of healing items are more expensive than individual charges of staves of equivalent healing, so the bonus should be more than Setsuna's ability, not less.

That would be perfect for Peg. Knights, (if a little OP)

I choose Eliwood so he'd be able to effectively use Durandal without taking up every Body Ring in the game. Course if it was a standard equippable skill available to everyone it would be very useful. If we ever get games with Weapon Weight and Con back that is. Which doesn't seem likely.

Some of these personal skills seem to be too class specific. Do they carry over to their hypothetical secondary classes?

That seems kinda useless considering Yen'fay can't support with her.

Doesn't mean you can't have them use Pair-Up.

[Alastor15243]

Yeah, but that 10% will basically be meaningless compared to pairing him with the avatar. Yen'fay's basically resigned to only being a viable dual support partner when paired with the avatar, so making his special ability focus entirely on a non-viable dual support option seems like it's shooting him in the foot.
