 Classes
A unit's class is their job or specialization, such as a brave Fighter, an agile Thief, or an
intellectual Mage. Each class in Fire Emblem has their own weapon proficiencies, stat caps, and
other different skills. When beginning classes are at level 20 and level up, the unit upgrades, and
gets a class promotion, further increasing weapon possibilities and expanding the caps for stats.
NOTE: For all stat caps, HP is always 60, and Luck is always 30. For unpromoted units (who
dont have a cap table) have all stats, besides HP and Luck, capped at 20. Promoted units have
tables for their own caps. Also, a rule of thumb for new units and setting proficiency ranks: one
proficiency should be D, and the others E. This is suggested for first-level units, and the ranks
can be higher for higher levels/promoted units.

Unpromoted Classes

Unpromoted classes are those classes that are able to gain a promotion once level 20 is passed.
These classes can be chosen as a starting class for new units, unless otherwise specified.

 Skill Reference
Defensive Skills
Great Shield: Roll 1d100 at the start of a battle (as in, you’re being attacked by someone, or you
are attacking someone). If the result is the same as or lower than your level, you take no damage
until combat is over.

Offensive Skills
Pierce: Roll 1d100 on an attack. If the result is the same as or lower than your level, you ignore
enemy defenses, acting as if the defender had 0 DEF for that attack. Takes priority over Great
Shield.

Sure Strike: Roll 1d100 on an attack. If the result is the same as or lower than your level, you
have a 100% chance to hit for that attack.

Lethality: Roll 1d100 on an attack where you have rolled a critical. If the result is 50% or below,
you instantly defeat the defending unit, unless it is a Boss or Final Boss. If the result is 25% or
below, you instantly defeat the defending unit, unless it is a Final Boss.

Slayer: When attacking monsters with a magical tome, triple the weapon’s might for those
attacks.

Critical +15: Your base critical rate is given a bonus +15% Critical.

Action Skills
Steal: When next to an enemy unit that has an item that is not a staff, weapon, or tome, you may
take that item for your action.

Lockpick: If you are standing next to a door or chest, you can use the Lockpick item to unlock
said door or chest for your action.

Pick: If you are standing next to a door or chest, you can unlock said door or chest for your
action.

another turn for your action.

Play: When next to a friendly unit, you can use a carried instrument’s effects on said friendly
unit for your action.

 Extra Classes
A note about NPC creation: When creating an NPC, use 200 to 250 statgains for weak NPCs
(such as low-ranking soldiers), 250 to 300 statgains for medium-level NPCs (such as medium-
ranking or slightly strong soldiers), 300 to 400 for tough, boss NPCs (such as a chapter boss),
and 400 and up for Final Boss material. To level up an NPC, simply take their statgains (such as
STR 40), divide the number by 100 (so 40 would turn into 0.4) and then take how many levels
they would gain (such as a Level 6 Soldier having gained 5 levels) and then multiply the two
numbers (0.4 * 5 = 2), and add that onto their stat. So if a Level 6 Soldier had 3 STR at level 1, it
would have 5 STR at level 6. Unit stats may be adjusted even more by the GM.

that no unit can have more than 5 weapons at a time.

Note that the following items are those that can commonly be used in a campaign, or may be
bought from a store. The GM may create custom weapons that grant stat bonuses, beginning
Lord weapons, S rank weapons, etc.

Weapon stat descriptions:

 Name: the name of the weapon.

 Durability: how many uses the weapon has before it is destroyed.
 Might: the power of the weapon.
 Hit: the accuracy of the weapon.
 Critical: the chance the weapon has for making a critical hit.
 Weight: how heavy the weapon is.
 Proficiency: the minimum rank needed for the specific weapon proficiency
 Range: how many spaces in distance this weapon can attack a unit.
 Price: cost to buy this weapon from a vendor.

 Creating a Unit

So now its time to create a unit to join the side of the Player Army. First, when creating a unit,
the following will be requested of you by the GM:

 Unit name
 Unit class (unpromoted ONLY)
 Other specific stats of the unit, i.e. Lord's beginning weapon proficiency

Then, follow these steps to finish off your unit, with the GM verifying your rolls.

1. Write down the given name and class in the respective spaces on the Character Sheet.
2. Look up the class's Base HP and roll the specified dice. Record the result as the unit's
max and current HP.
3. Roll 1d4 and add it to 28. Distribute the resulting number of points for unit stats (except
HP, CON, and MOV)
4. Assign the unit's CON and MOV stat based on the class info.
5. As the unit is new, it starts at level 1, with 0 experience.
6. Depending on your class, you will have a set amount of statgain points to use for
creation. You may assign these points to HP Gain, STR Gain, SKL Gain, SPD Gain,
LUK Gain, DEF Gain, and RES Gain. HP Gain has a minimum of 50 and a maximum of
100, while the other Gains have a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 90.
7. Look up the class's starting package, and write the items and weapons in the correct
sections of the character sheet, and in the space next to each item/weapon, if applicable,
write the durability of the items (all new items always have max durability).
8. Roll 1d8 and assign the resulting affinity to your unit.
9. Look up the unit's class in the class list and mark the respective boxes for weapon
proficiencies. Fill the first box for rank E, the first two boxes for rank D, the first three
boxes for rank C, the first four boxes for rank B, the first five boxes for rank A, or all six
boxes for rank S.
10. Fill in the unit's Aid. Aid is (Constitution - 1) for units on foot, (25 - Constitution) for
mounted/flying female units, and (25 - Constitution) for mounted/flying male units.

Done! Your unit is now ready for battle.

46
 Battle

Battle is the set of attacks between two units. The formulas below are calculated to find the chance of
hit, critical hit, how much damage is dealt, and who can attack twice.

Weapon Attacks

The basic attack in a battle, using an equipped weapon to attack at the opponent, dealing damage
and lowering their HP. In order to make an attack, a unit must move within range of the equipped
weapon's specified range, and choose a target opponent to attack that is in that range. Some of
the weapon ranges in the game are:

 1 - Attacks adjacent units (i.e. Iron Sword, Steel Axe, etc.)

 2 - Attack units exactly two spaces away (i.e. Iron Bow)
 1-2 - Attack adjacent and distant opponents two spaces away (i.e. Hand Axe, Thunder, etc.)
 2-3 - Attack units either two or three spaces away (i.e. Longbow)
 3-10 - Attack distant enemies, 3 to 10 spaces away (i.e. Bolting, Purge)

Basically, the ranges state the minimum - maximum spaces away the enemy can be, or a single
number for now many exact spaces distant the enemy must be.
After declaring an attack on an enemy, the first player makes their attack. First, attack speed is
calculated (A is used for attacker's stat, D is used for defender's stat):

If (Weapon Weight) > CON, Attack Speed = A.SPD+(A.CON−A.WeaponWeight)

Else, Attack Speed = A.SPD

If the attacker has an Attack Speed surpasses the defender's Attack Speed by more than four, the
attacker can attack twice. However, if the defender's Attack Speed surpasses the attacker's by
more than four, the defender can attack twice. Also, any Brave weapons used add an additional
x2 to the attack count. For example, Unit A with a Brave Lance and AS of 18, and Unit B with a
Steel Sword and AS of 13, Unit A can attack four times.

After determining attack counts, this is how the battle is conducted:

 Attacker makes their first attack.

 Attacker makes a second attack if wielding a Brave weapon.
 Defender makes their first attack.
 Defender makes a second attack if wielding a Brave weapon.
 If Attacker had AS greater/equal to (D.AS + 4), Attacker can attack again, making another second
attack if wielding a Brave weapon.

47
  If Defender had AS greater/equal to (A.AS + 4), Defender can attack again, making another
second attack if wielding a Brave weapon.

When making an attack, roll a percentage dice to see if the hit was successful. To calculate hit
rate:

2(A.SKL)+.5(A.LUK)−D.Avoid+A.WeaponHitRate+A.Bonuses

Avoid is calculated as: 2(D.AttackSpeed)+D.LUK+D.Bonuses

If a die roll is successful against the hit rate, then a critical roll is made with the percentage dice.
The critical hit rate is:

A.WeaponCritical+.5(A.SKL)−D.CriticalEvade+A.Bonuses

Critical evade is calculated as: D.LUK+D.Bonuses

If the roll is not successful, attack is carried out normally. However, if it is successful, damage
dealt to the enemy for this attack is tripled (after defense calculation).

Next, damage is calculated. In this formula, Strength and Defense is used, but if a magic tome is
used, use MAG and RES instead

A.STR+A.EffectiveWeaponMight−(D.DEF+D.Bonuses)+A.Bonuses
Effective Weapon Might is equal to the might of the weapon, plus the bonus from the weapon
triangle or trinity of magic advantage/disadvantage. The Effective Weapon Might is also
multiplied by 3 if the weapon is effective against the defender, i.e. Bows against flying units,
Hammer against armored units, etc.

When a magic melee weapon is used (i.e. Rune Sword), the following damage is dealt:

Range of 1:
A.STR+A.EffectiveWeaponMight−(D.RES+D.Bonuses)+A.Bonuses
Range of 2:
.5(A.STR)+A.EffectiveWeaponMight−(D.RES+D.Bonuses)+A.Bonuses
Also, magic weapons cannot critical, if from a distance.

Once a unit reaches 0, that unit cannot attack any longer and battle ends, awarding EXP to the
last standing unit and eliminating the defeated unit from the game.

48
Staves

During battle, staves prove to be useful in keeping units alive, or hindering the enemy. When
using a staff to heal a friendly unit, the staff will always hit (as they will not try to resist the
healing). Therefore, the effect is carried out immediately.
When using a staff against an opponent however, they will try to resist the negative effects, and
therefore a percentage dice roll must be done to see if the staff's effect hits.

Staff accuracy (hit rate) is: 30+5(A.MAG)+A.SKL−D.StaffEvade+A.Bonuses

Staff evade is: 5(D.RES)+2(Distancefromtarget)+D.Bonuses

Note that distance from target is calculated by how many spaces horizontally the two units are
separated, plus the amount of spaces vertically the two units are separated.

If the staff hits, the effects are carried out upon the enemy. Staves are only used once per turn
regardless of Attack Speed, and defending units do not counterattack.

Rewarding EXP

Aside weapon EXP, a battle can bring about EXP to surviving combatants. When using a staff or
skill, a predetermined amount of EXP is given, and these values are given in the staff and skill
tables. When making a weapon attack, EXP is calculated as follows:

If the opponent is hit: (31−(A.LVL−D.LVL))/A.ClassValue

Level is increased by 20 for promoted units, i.e. a Lvl 6 Paladin would be considered lvl 26.
Also, Class Value is equal to the following:

Soldier/Priest/Thief: 2
All other classes: 3

If the opponent is killed: 30+(D.ClassValue∗D.LVL)−(A.ClassValue∗A.LVL) or

1, which ever is higher.
This result is modified if the opponent is the following:

 Boss: +40
 Bishop/Valkyrie: -20
 Thief: +20

49
If no attack is made against the opponent, the unit gets 1 EXP. EXP cannot surpass 100 for a
single battle. If it does, the unit only gains 100 EXP.

Turn Structure

Within each turn, a player does the following first:

* Applies effects to all units afflicted by conditions, such as damage from poison.
* Applies effects to all units on a certain type of terrain, such as the healing effects of a fort.
* Removes conditions from unit, if this turn would bring the turn count of the condition to 0.

Afterward, gameplay begins. For each unit, the player can move the unit up to the amount of
spaces the unit can move up to, then perform an action. In the case of a mounted/flying unit, the
unit can move its remaining amount of spaces after performing an action, but after that second
movement, must stop without a second action.

Moving

As a unit moves, start the count at 0, and increase the count by the terrain cost for each space the
unit would walk on. If the unit walks a path that is less than or equal to its movement cost, it can
stop at that space, but cannot walk a path that has a cost over the unit's movement cost. For
example, a myrmidon with movement of 5 can walk through three plains spaces and one forest
space for a total of 5 (forests have a cost of 2), but cannot walk on another space until the next
turn, as another space would cause the count to go over the unit's movement cost.
After an action, if there is any remaining spaces left, a mounted/flying unit may use the rest of
their movement spaces, but cannot make a second action. For example, if a Cavalier (movement
of 7) moves past three plains spaces (total cost of 3), then attacks, the unit can move after
attacking, up to a cost of 4. Therefore the unit can ride past four plains spaces, two plains and
one forest, two forests, etc.
Also note that the full movement cost does not have to be made.

Actions

The following is a list of actions a unit can make on their turn. Note that if a unit makes any kind
of action, they CAN NOT, under ANY condition, undo their move, and must take the movement.

50
Attack

The most common action between units is an attack. For this, the unit declaring the attack first
chooses which weapon to attack with (which they will equip), and battle stats will be determined.
If the player likes the battle stats, they may choose to declare battle, and roll for attacks.
However, if they do not like it, they may choose to cancel the attack, and re-move their unit. In
some cases, the GM may use the strict battle rule, which means once the player chooses to make
an attack, the choice cannot be taken back and the battle is carried out regardless of what the
battle stats are.
Attacking is explained more in-depth in the battle section.

Item

In the heat of battle, units will need to heal themselves if there isn't a priest around, or the rescue
of a friendly unit. Or the unit needs to boost their stats with special items. In this case, the unit
can end their move by using an item. In this case, after moving, the unit can choose which item
to use, and the effect is carried out. After that, the durability of the item is lowered by 1, and if it
reaches 0, the item is fully consumed and removed from the inventory. Refer to the items section
for item effects.
If a unit wishes to switch equipment, the unit can still re-move if they wish to do so, as long as
they only wished to switch equipment.
Items/weapons may also be dropped as well, and this counts as an action that cannot be undone,
making the movement unchangeable as well. When you choose to drop an item, the item will be
completely erased from your inventory. Be careful! If you drop a weapon you have equipped,
you'll be unarmed, and therefore cant make attacks or deal any damage!

Trade

Trading between friendly units becomes very handy for tactical attacks on certain opposing units,
or if a unit has a weapon they can not use and you wish to bring it to another friendly unit for
their use. To trade, move the unit to a space adjacent to the unit you wish for them to trade with,
and then any of the items may be swapped/given between units, as long as it meets the 5
weapon/item limits. All trades do NOT have to be even trades: a unit can simply give/take items
between another unit as well.

Staff

Magical units that have the staff proficiency will be able to use this action. As long as the unit
holds a staff that can be used within range effectively (meaning using the staff will have some
kind of effect on the unit; using a Heal staff on a unit with full HP cannot be done), it can take

51
this action. When making a Staff action, select a staff the unit holds (which becomes equipped),
and choose a target unit within range. If used against an enemy, a die roll will have to be made
for hit chance. If used on a friendly unit, the effect is always carried out (as hit rate would
obviously always be 100). After using a staff's effect, the staff's durability is reduced by 1, and
fully consumed and removed from the inventory if durability drops to 0.
Staves against enemies are explained in the battle section.

Rescue

When a unit is low in health and needs help, you'll need to rescue that unit if you cant heal it in
time! With the help of your friendly units, you can pick up a lighter unit and carry them with
you, preventing any damage from reaching them. In order to rescue a unit, move adjacent to
them, and choose to Rescue them, moving their unit token under the rescuing unit's token. The
unit that rescues the lighter unit suffers a 50% penalty on Skill and Speed, as well as 1
movement. Units can only rescue other units that:
* Have a Constitution lower than the rescuing unit's Aid.
* Are not holding another unit.
* Are not enemies. Friendly/neutral NPCs are rescuable.
Also, a unit that rescues another unit cannot drop that unit on the same turn. However, another
unit can take the rescued unit, as long as they meet all of the requirements above. If a unit takes a
lighter unit from another rescuing unit, this unit can drop at the same time. For example, Unit A
rescues Unit B. Unit C moves adjacent to Unit A, takes Unit B from Unit A, and then can drop
Unit B at any free space adjacent to Unit C. This allows fast tactical movement of certain units.
On the next turn, the rescuing unit can choose to Drop the rescued unit to a free, adjacent space,
or even Give the unit to an adjacent ally, as long as they meet the three requirements.
Units being rescued cannot act, and cannot be healed by other units. Only effects from conditions
apply to the rescued unit.

Drop

A rescuing unit can drop their unit to a free adjacent space. Any unit that is dropped cannot act or
move on the same turn, and must wait until their next turn.

Give

If an adjacent target, friendly unit meets the requirements of rescuing for this unit's held unit, this
unit can give the rescued unit to the target adjacent friendly unit.

Take

If the unit using this actions meets the requirements of rescuing for a unit that an adjacent target
friendly unit holds, this unit can take the rescued unit from that target unit.

52
Talk

This is only available in specific times, based on the GM's campaign. The GM may tell you
when you are able to talk to a certain unit, but other times you may have to figure it out yourself.
You can move a unit next to another unit and see if you can talk to the unit. If you cannot and it
is an enemy unit, it may invoke an enemy attack, so be careful! The choices for who can/cannot
talk are solely the GM's decision.

Visit

Works like Talk, but allows a player to visit a Village, in order to gain information or obtain
items from the friendly villagers who thank you from saving them from the opposing army (or
whatever the GM chooses).

Play

This action is unique to Bards, as long as they equip a Flute. Selecting an adjacent ally, the Bard
can perform for the ally, applying the effect of their instrument onto the ally (which in the basic
system, allows the unit to act again). After using the effect, the Bard gains EXP and finishes their
turn.

Ballista

When standing on a Ballista space, an Archer/Sniper may choose to use the Ballista, if it has
ammo left. Every ballista on the map starts off with 5 arrows, and is unusable after its ammo is
depleted. When using a ballista, look up the type of ballista and determine is range, damage, etc.
from there as if the unit was making a ranged attack. Units cannot counterattack a ballista attack.

Seize

If the Lord/Great Lord reaches the throne or other specific target, they can choose to Seize the
target. If they do, the battle ends, and the player achieves victory. This is only done if the
conditions for the map is to Seize the target.

Escape

The enemy may be too powerful, or it is your goal to escape the map. If this is the case, there
will be a specified space on the map where this action is allowed. When a unit reaches this space,
they can choose to Escape, and they will be removed from the map for the rest of the battle,

53
being safe from any attack. If the specified unit escapes in the conditions for the battle, victory is
then decided.

Break

An army may find themselves at a door without a key. What better way to open the door than
with brute force? With enough strength and attacks, any door can break open for an army. Each
door has its own preset endurance (which can be considered to be HP). When choosing to Break
a door, a weapon is selected for the unit (and then equipped), and an "attack" is made on the
door. In this case, all stats for the door (DEF, RES, SPD, etc.) are treated as 0 (as its an immobile
object). If you choose to make the door arcane-resistant or a strong iron door, for example, GMs
can set stats for the door (in this example, the doors can have a RES of 5 or a DEF of 5,
respectively). Also, there are no consecutive attacks, even if a Brave weapon is used. After the
attack, the damage is taken off of the door's endurance, and if the endurance reaches 0, the door
breaks open.

Door

If you have a key, or a Thief, Rogue, or Assassin nearby, a door can be opened. If a Door Key is
used, the key is consumed in the process of opening the door and is removed from the inventory.
If the Thief or Assassin opens the door with a Lockpick, the Lockpick's durability decreases by
1, and is consumed and removed from the inventory if the amount of uses reaches 0. The Rogue,
however, has the Pick ability, and therefore can open the door without any requirements.

Chest

Just like the door, a chest can only be opened by using a Chest Key, or a Thief's, Rogue’s, or
Assassin's lock opening abilities. Once the chest is opened, the item is taken and given to the unit
that opened the chest, and if the inventory is full, an item/weapon is sent to storage to make
room, or the item obtained itself is sent.

Defeating Units

Once you attack a unit enough to send an enemy unit's HP to 0, the unit is dead, and you obtain
your spoils. When a unit dies, remove the unit token from the map and place it away from the
board; it cant be brought back (unless if an expansion is used for ressurecting staves, etc. in this
case, flip the token over or any other similar method). If the enemy had any items in their
inventory that was marked droppable, that item is added to the inventory of the unit that defeated

54
it. If the unit has no room, the unit must choose from one of the items/weapons in its inventory,
depending on the type of item being obtained, and send it to storage, or send the obtained
item/weapon to storage. Then gold is awarded to the player.
Gold does not have to be rewarded per unit, but instead a certain gold reward for clearing the
map can be set by the GM, or no gold rewards can be made and the player will have to rely on
selling treasures at the time for money. A general rule for earning money could simply be the
following: (EnemyLevel)∗3
Level is +20 for promoted units

Conditions
Status conditions can affect a unit during its duration negatively, whether it is preventing attacks
or dealing damage or any other kind of negative effect. These are usually obtained from enemy
staves, or dangerous terrain, and usually last for 5 turns, unless specified. At the beginning of
each turn, the count of turns remaining is reduced by 1, and once the count reaches 0, the
condition is removed. Enemies can overwrite your status condition, but your own units cannot.

Condition Effect
Poison At the beginning of each turn, unit takes 1d3 damage.
Sleep Unit cannot move or attack, but can still dodge. Getting attacked does not wake up a unit.
Berserk Cannot be moved by the player, and is moved by the GM after player ends their turn. Berserk units attack any
unit within range, friend or enemy, that it can deal the most damage to.
Silence Unit cannot use magic tomes or staves.
Petrification Unit is turned to stone, being unable to move or act on their turn. Enemies gain +30 critical rate on attacks
against a petrified unit.

Growth Rates
Growth rate specifies the chance that a unit's respective stat will grow upon leveling up. When a
unit levels up, it will take their Gain stats, and roll the 1d100 for each Gain stat. If the roll is
equal to or lower than the Gain stat, then that stat gets +1.
When an unpromoted unit gets a class promotion, from either an upgrade item or reaching lv 21,
the unit gains specific stat upgrades, and does not roll for improvements at this level. However,
starting from lvl 1 of the promoted unit, the unit will roll for stat improvements again at future
levels.

55
 AFFINITY
Affinity is the element that a unit is naturally attuned to. These affinities come with a unit at
creation (decided at birth), and can never be changed. Affinities are important in a game as they
can bring bonuses to units that share support bonds when within a range of three spaces. During
character creation, the player/GM must roll to decide a unit's affinity. When deciding an affinity,
follow this table:

Die Result Affinity

1 Fire
2 Ice
3 Wind
4 Thunder
5 Earth
6 Dark
7 Light
8 Anima

Based on a unit's support with another unit within range, the unit will gain bonuses when
entering battle. When entering battle, units with the following supports within the three space
range are as follows:

Attack Defense Hit Avoid Critical Critical Evade

Fire C +0.5 +2.5% +2.5% +2.5%
Fire B +1.0 +5.0% +5.0% +5.0%
Fire A +1.5 +7.5% +7.5% +7.5%
Ice C +0.5 +2.5% +2.5% +2.5%
Ice B +1.0 +5.0% +5.0% +5.0%
Ice A +1.5 +7.5% +7.5% +7.5%
Wind C +0.5 +2.5% +2.5% +2.5%
Wind B +1.0 +5.0% +5.0% +5.0%
Wind A +1.5 +7.5% +7.5% +7.5%
Thunder C +0.5 +2.5% +2.5% +2.5%
Thunder B +1.0 +5.0% +5.0% +5.0%

 Weapon Proficiencies
Weapon proficiency is the ranking of a unit's expertise with a particular weapon type.
Proficiency also marks which types of weapons a unit is able or unable to use. With high usage
of a type of weapon, a unit can improve their proficiency with a weapon, allowing the unit to use
a wider range of weapons of that type, as well as improving their skill in battle with that
particular weapon type.

Weapon Ranks

In each of the different types of weapons, a unit has six different ranks, assuming the unit is able
to use that type of weapon. These ranks, from least to most proficient, are E, D, C, B, A, and S.
Units with higher ranks can use more powerful weapons of the type they are proficient in. Also,
units with an S rank gain bonuses in battle as long as they wield a weapon of that type (+10 Hit,
+1 Damage, +5 Crit). Units can only have one S rank for weapon proficiency. Only promoted
units can have S rank proficiencies; unpromoted units can only reach up to 250 experience in a
weapon proficiency.

Weapon Experience

With every attack, units gain experience with the weapon type they use. With enough
experience, the unit will go up in rank for that weapon, until they reach the S rank (or A rank if
they already have an S rank). In battle, a unit gains the following experience in weapon
proficiency for the weapon type they used:

 1 EXP per hit with normal weapons (i.e. Iron, Steel, Silver)
 1 EXP per hit with ranged physical weapons (i.e. Javelin, Hand Axe, etc.)
 1 EXP per hit with magic tomes
 2 EXP per hit with reaver weapons (i.e. Axereaver, Lancereaver, etc.)
 2 EXP using a Heal staff
 3 EXP using Mend, Recover, Restore, or Physic staves
 4 EXP using a Barrier staff
 5 EXP using Torch, Unlock, Silence, Sleep, Berserk or Fortify staves
 7 EXP using Rescue or Warp staves
 8 EXP using a Hammerne staff
 Ballistae, catapults, etc. do not award EXP

GMs can use their own values for custom weapons/staves if they choose to do so.
When units are promoted, they will gain +40 exp for each weapon they are proficient in, in their

57
previous class. If they are proficient in more than one, and this would cause more than one
weapon to upgrade to an S rank, the player chooses which rank becomes an S and the rest an A.

Weapon Triangle

The Weapon Triangle is the triangle that determines effectiveness between weapons. The
triangle starts off with axes at the top. Going counter-clockwise, the axe is effective against
lances, the bottom left of the triangle. Then, lances are effective against swords, the bottom right
of the triangle. Finally, swords are effective against axes, back to the top of the triangle. It's a
continuous loop between the three weapons, with one other weapon in the middle of the triangle:
the Bow. Bows are excluded from the triangle, and are not strong or weak against any other
weapon.

If a weapon is effective against another in battle, the stronger weapon gets +1 damage and +15
hit rate, and the weaker weapon gets -1 damage and -15 hit rate.

"Reaver" weapons can reverse the triangle, making swords effective against lances, lances
effective against axes, and axes effective against swords. For example, if a Lancereaver was used
against an Iron Axe, the Iron Axe would suffer penalties and the Lancereaver would gain
bonuses. If two Reaver weapons are used, the triangle is "double reversed", and pretty much
stays the same. However, if a Reaver weapon is used, the bonuses/penalties are doubled, the
stronger weapon getting +2 damage and +30 hit rate, and the weaker weapon getting -2 damage
and -30 hit rate.

Trinity of Magic

The Trinity of Magic is the triangle that determines effectiveness between the types of magic
used. The triangle starts off with anima, or elemental magic, at the top. Going counter-clockwise,
anima magic is effective against light magic, the bottom left of the triangle. Then, light magic is
effective against dark magic, the bottom right of the triangle. Finally, dark magic is effective
against anima magic, back to the top of the triangle. It's a continuous loop between the three
magic types, with one other in the middle of the triangle: the Staff. Staves do not have any kind
of magical affinity to it and is not used in attacking units, therefore it is excluded from the
triangle, and are not strong or weak against any other magic.

If a magic tome is effective against another in battle, the stronger magic gets +1 damage and +15
hit rate, and the weaker magic gets -1 damage and -15 hit rate.

58
 Terrain

Terrain refers to the type of ground the unit stands or walks on. Each type of terrain has its own
movement costs and bonuses, given below.

NOTE: Flying units do NOT receive any bonuses from terrain. Also, thrones only give physical
defense bonuses instead of bonuses for both defense and resistance.

Any terrain not listed do not give bonuses.

Terrain Evasion Bonus DEF/RES Bonus

Woods +20% +1
Sand +5% +0
High Mountain +40% +0
Pillar +20% +1
Throne +30% +3
Castle Gate +30% +3
Sea +10% +0
Mountains +30% +1
Village +10% +0

Terrain has the following costs, for the specified units/classes (fliers are unaffected and always
have movement costs of 1):

 Forest: 3 for mounted units except Rangers; 2 for other classes

 River: 2 for Pirates and Berserkers; 5 for Lords, Thieves, Assassins, Swordmasters,
Heroes, Snipers, and Rangers; no one else can pass but flying units
 Sea: 2 for Pirates and Berserkers; no one else can pass but flying units
 Mountain: 6 for promoted units except Rangers; 5 for Rangers, 3 for Fighters, Warriors,
Pirates, and Berserkers; 4 for other foot units besides Knights and Generals
 High Mountain: 4 for Berserkers; no one else can pass but flying units
 Desert: All flying units and unmounted magic units are unaffected; unpromoted mounted
units have a movement of 1; Fighters and Knights have a movement of 1; promoted
mounted units, Generals and Warriors have a movement of 2; Thieves have a movement
of 3; all other unpromoted units have a movement of 2 and all other promoted units have
a movement of 3

Other effects by certain terrain:

Fort: A fort can replenish life to a unit on it, restoring 3 HP to the unit at the beginning of the
turn.
Throne: A throne has a similar effect, restoring 4 HP to the unit (usually the boss) that stands on
the throne at the beginning of the turn.
