Another Idea!; Wow, two in four weeks. I'm on a roll.

There's been a lot of talk about promo gains going around lately, as well as complaints about getting RNG screwed. Of course, you only get one chance at level ups in FEABL, and only one chance to get each character to 20/20, so getting RNG screwed is much easier. It's not like you can restart a level or create a new game or whatever, short of killing of one character and making an identical one. So, I thought that maybe being able to manipulate promo gains a bit would help out, since most people who get screwed in one area get at least a little boost in another. This doesn't make it even, obviously, since getting screwed in Speed is much worse than getting screwed in Resistance, but there should be some sort of way to level things out a bit. Here's my idea:

What if we were able to transfer a few points at promotion? We certainly couldn't take all 8 or 9 or whatever and pump them into one stat (though that probably wouldn't be very wise anyway), but maybe exchange points in one stat for points in another at a ratio, like 2 for 1 or 3 for 2.

What do you think?

I prefer the free points idea. Though a li'l transfer might be cool.

Hmm...

Well, I'm kind of already working on something for the promotion gains. I appreciate the help, but I have my own ideas.

Thanks anyway, though.

You still get free points, I meant that you can decide to a degree what stats those points go to.

What ever happened to the idea of skipping the promo gains and just getting an additional 13 points (like when you create a character) to add to the stats as you choose?

That is the one that I would choose.

That's what's referred to as "Free points". It was my idea, originally.

Feeling spritely.

I prefer the "Free Points" idea. I think in-game units get about 13 points added to stuff upon promotion anyway.

Here're the total stat gains on promotion by class, according to FE7. The numbers in parenthases are the gains in Constitution, and not added to the main total.

General (M): 16 (2)
Sniper (M): 13 (1)
Warrior (M): 12 (2)
Nomadic Trooper (M): 12 (1)
Sniper (F): 12 (1)
Druid (M): 11 (1)
Berserker (M): 11 (3)
Sage (M): 11 (1)
Sage (F): 11 (1)
FalcoKnight: 11 (1)
Bishop (M): 11 (1)
Bishop (F): 11 (1)
Valkyrie: 11 (1)
Swordmaster (M): 10 (1)
Wyvern Lord (M): 10 (1)
Paladin (M): 8 (2)
Hero (M): 8 (1)
Assassin (M): 8 (0)

Stat gains by frequency:
16 - 1
13 - 1
12 - 3
11 - 8
10 - 2
8 - 3

Con gains by frequency:
3 - 1
2 - 4
1 - 12
0 - 1

Average stat gains: 10.9444

Average Con gains: 1.2777

That total comes to about 12.2.

Add in an additional 0.8 for good luck, and you get 13. Lucky 13.

I'm not the admin FEABL needs. I'm the one it deserves.

13 free points would be too much, IMO- That's a total of 26 free points! A char with 0 % growth and 0 starting of a stat could max a medium-cap stat with that!

What about Leila? She has 20 speed with 0% growth. And Jaffar is the strongest assassin, despite having the lowest growth.

Leila's growths? Uh.. don't you need an AR to get those, anyways? You could argue that Athos maxes Resistance with a 0% growth to the same effect. True, we could cap the amount that someone can put into any given stat, but I like the idea of just using FE7 gains better.

You could argue that the starting stats aren't really fair, either.

13 is a bit high... I think 8-10 would be fairer.

Knights have insane stat boosts... FE6 Knights got over 20 points with Con. I plan on making a Knight once I get my 3 remaining levels, but I still think it's ridiculous.
