DisobeyedCargo Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Lute is a young woman who if I had to guess is like 17-20, meanwhile I still question myself as to wether or not Ewan has even hit puberty yet and he's not muscular or large at all, certainly smaller than Lute, how does he have a higher con stat than Lute??

Dragoncat Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Video game logic? Maybe because he can promote into a shaman so he would need a higher con to wield the heavy dark tomes. Males tend to have higher con in FE regardless of their age it seems. Ewan might even be an early bloomer, who knows xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flee Fleet! Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 These may be the reasons: - Males in FE generally have higher con, and I guess Ewan is no exception. - Lute's on a diet or just doesn't eat a lot, or perhaps she doesn't really exercise, considering the massive bookworm she is. I dunno. - Dark tomes are heavier than other magic tomes, so considering Ewan can promote into a shaman, he ended up with a higher con stat to use the dark tomes without any speed loss.

Von Ithipathachai Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Because IS is sexist Also, I thought Lute and Ewan are about the same age Whoops. Misread the question. I kind of forgot about Ewan for some reason. Edited April 17, 2018 by Von Ithipathachai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Geso Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Lower center of gravity :^) Also, Lute is younger than you think. Edited April 17, 2018 by YouSquiddinMe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoblongoo Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Lute sits around reading books all day--Ewan's out running around and sweating it out with a band of desert mercs. Lean and young and nothing going on yet in the way of adult muscle mass, but the kid's physique probably isn't too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright alright fair enough Lute still deserves better Con, she gets weighed down by FIRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a mix of all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I think Lute's more like 15. She's very petite and isn't all that mature either considering how much time she spends tuting her own horn. Someone already said it but Ewan's an active kid. He seems the type to run around lots while Lute's the type to spend her whole life sitting on her butt with a book in her hands. Ewan gets his exercise while Lute doesn't.

These do sound plausible, except dark tomes are so heavy that anything over Flux would result in severe speed loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Druid Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Here's a few reasons why I think they may be different: Ewan may have some muscle. Growing up with a guild probably allowed him to train for more than just magic. Meanwhile, Lute just studies all day and she has a thin frame. Muscle weighs more than fat. (although neither of them have a lot of either so they should be relatively light.) Lute is not that much older than Ewan. 4 years max imo. It's hard to tell, since some people look older/younger than they appear to be. Also, their ages aren't listed, but that's what I'm guessing. I'm thinking Ewan can't be too young because the age gap between him and Tethys would be too abnormal (but not impossible) for siblings, since she's implied to be in her 20s. Also, I don't think IS would add someone that young to the roster. They can get away with teenagers and dragon lolis but child soldiers would just be a whole 'nother can of worms. Boys tend to be heavier than girls in their teenage years. It's game design. He has access to dark magic and she doesn't, and it weighs more so he needs that extra CON. IS is sexist and wanted to keep the female roster's CON small because it implies that they don't weigh a lot. (which is ridiculous, because they're fighting a war, and being too thin without some muscle will be a problem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Roger The Paladin Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Because Ewan comes later in the game as a trainee unit, he's used to being conned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it's probably because he can possibly eventually wield dark magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Lute can only use a Fire tome without any speed loss with her initial con (iirc), so I assume Ewan just ended up the same but in the case of dark tomes instead.

I always imagined Dark tomes as being particularly thick monsters of books to carry around, like a heavy textbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark magic is also considered as Ancient Magic isn't it (in FE7 at least, iirc)? In that case, I can imagine why it has the heaviest tomes around.

Titamon Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Same reason that Ameila has more con than Eirika, Marisa, and every other female in the game. Same reason why Vaida has as much con as promoted Lowen IS said so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
