...could somebody summarize how the 1~2 range magic swords work again? For that matter, what happens if Silencer and Big Shield both fire? (totally not redoing the statuator in Python) |

If Silencer and Big Shield both fire, they cancel each other out. I'm also pretty sure that for the Wind Sword, it's strength based for each range. |

I actually tested magic swords a few days ago. Light Brand and Wind Sword are swords at range 1, magic at range 2. Runesword is magic at both ranges. Swords use Str - Def for damage and are swords in the triangle. Magic uses Str/2 - Res for damage and is the appropriate magic type. |

Thanks to this topic, Kiwi now sees a silencer and a large shield being fired out of cannons at each other. |

I recall some years ago that this came up in one of TPO's events, and it was determined that Light Brands target defense from both distances.... |

Nonono Wind Swords and Light Brands target Res from both distances. We worked this out ages ago. |

Yeah, the reason you were testing was to see if Str rounded up or down anyway /: |

I'm pretty sure Big Shield cancels everything, including Silencer. The Assassin/Sharpshooter should still tink off the Baron. |

Yeah, I used a light brand up close and used resistance for the stats (fresh off an FE play, so I was somewhat confident of it). Started a small chain of events which confirmed it. |

Yeah, but what FEBAl uses and what the game mechanics use are different. I'm not sure if that's the point being gotten across, but it's just how I see it. |

About Big Shield and Silencer, what Seth says applies in-game, I think, but not on the FEABL, yeah.

It specifies in the skill descriptions in the topic, I believe. If Silencer and Big Shield go off at the same time, Big Shield cancels the Silencer, but not the crit. Big Shield turns a silencer into a normal crit - they cancel each other out. EDIT: KJ'd Edited by Blaze the Sage, Feb 7 2010, 06:20 PM.
