Skill creation thread (Num. what now?)

[Punished Dayni]

Didn't want to annoy the mods with necromancy, so decided to make a new thread for skill ideas you have. So, just that.

Single-minded: Ignores dual stances (Dual Guard and Dual Strike) in battle both for enemies and the user.

I'd think it'd be a personal skill for a unit whose whole thing is about charging in. Probably useless in practice (for a whole lot of reasons), but just had the thought there now. Could be a class skill for a highly defensive unit or Warrior- like class too.

I'd prefer it if it were a trigger-able skill, like Parity. If it's always on, it will hurt the user more than it helps since you can take advantage of stances more often.

Cautious Blow- When this unit initiates combat, +20 Dodge.

I misread that as "Party", so I'm going to use that :P

Party: Damage +1 for every remaining partner unit on the map.

Party: Damage +1 for every remaining partner unit on the map.

How about +1 Damage for each ally on the map with this skill?

less broken

I see the point, and yes I was more thinking how it could fit a personality rather than how it could fit in gameplay last night.

Healthy Resolve: Gets bonus damage based on their current HP. How much is based on currentt against Max HP.

If we're talking about new skill ideas I have a few that'd be cool though they're a bit overpowered...just how I like it!

-Magic leech-steals 3 points of Mag from enemies and adds it to the player. No cap.
-Untouchable-(Skill%)that a attack that would otherwise hit the player misses.
-Blinding assault-every 5 points of speed more than the enemy grants an extra attack for the player.
-(insert weapon) hatred-adds +35 Crit to the player whenever dealing with enemies using this specific type of weapon
-Apocalypse-when you defeat an enemy, all other enemies in the range of the defeated enemy receive half damage dealt to previously killed enemy. Receives full exp from all defeated units.
-Intimidation-cuts opponent's HP in half for the duration of the battle (HP/2-%)
-Rouge's intuition-can steal equipped items(Skill/2-%) when attacking enemies.
-Cupid's wrath-for every level of support obtained between two units next to each other, +4 attack and defense
-Sheer domination-adds current HP value to strength/magic for one attack (strength/2 or magic/2 which ever's highest)%

[Alex95]

How about +1 Damage for each ally on the map with this skill?

less broken

Well, I was thinking the skill will help improve the player's tactics as well. Meaning the worse they do and the less units they have remaining, the less damage they'd end up doing.

It could be a personal skill as well, to prevent the whole army from gaining the skill.

Charge: When moving a straight path, adds (number of tiles traversed x 2) to damage dealt.

This selection of skills is from Creativity Spot - Your Own Classes - Promotion Variations. These are designed for redesigned Fire Emblem classes as well as new promotions.
