That's correct. Counter only goes off in response to being attacked by an enemy within range of your weapon, and only against the first eligible enemy.

For example:

  • Gertrude is at E6 and uses Counter.
    • Bandit 1 enters F6, but does not attack her. Counter does nothing because she hasn't been attacked.
    • Bandit 2 enters F7 and attacks Gertrude with a bow. Counter does nothing because the archer isn't in her range.
    • Bandit 3 enters E7 and attacks Gertrude. Counter goes off, and Gertrude attacks Bandit 3 after he makes his attack, obeying all the same rules of double attacking, hit, crit, etc.
    • Bandit 4 enters D6 and attacks Gertrude. Counter does nothing because it has already gone off against Bandit 3.

Counter is basically the normal counterattacking mechanic from the games, except you have to prepare it as an action in place of making an attack on your turn, and it only works against the first attacker.

Either way, you only attack once per turn, but Gertrude will not lose much offense when she goes fishing.

At the very least, if you go with changing stat boosters to an equippable item, I'd expect exceptions where they make sense. For example, I believe Energy Drop (the Strength booster, for the non-Fire Emblem veterans here) would make more sense as a consumable rather than an equippable, on the grounds of the user drinking it. I mean, it's not like we'd get a constant supply of them, right?

DOOD!!!

We can change Energy Drop to Power Badge.

Energy Drops were Energy Rings in the GBA games, soooo...

Huh, for some reason I interpreted the remark "the robe is yours" to indicate that it was being handed off during that statement, though I didn't realize Malia was the one holding it until the most recent post.

Michel doesn't have any post yet. I personally would like to see his perspective.

Are the roster and slots updated yet?

The ebook looks like it's up-to-date with everyone (who posted) being level 2 and our 8 PCs listed.

The sign up page has the roster full. Michel has not been included and Arthur has not been kicked out.

Well if you knew that wasn't updated already then why did you ask?tongue

Seriously though I never look at that post, I just go off of the ebook and it hasn't failed me yet.[lol]

I've just updated the roster on the sign up page. I've been pming Arthur's player, and warned him that he needs to start posting soon or his spot will be opened to sign ups again.

The googledoc material will tend to be updated more frequently than the threads here just because it's less hassle to do so. :P

I think we just missed out some bandit twin wackiness right here.

After talking to Arthur's player, he's decided that he isn't able to dedicate the time to the game that he thought he'd be able to, and has bowed out. Sign ups are now open again for a replacement.

Since Arthur is only mentioned in 2 posts, both by Wryte. I think it is easy to retcon him out of the story.

I, for one, was doing that deliberately; not acknowledging characters that haven't appeared yet makes it easy to write them out entirely. Playing my characters as not having met them when they do show up even gives a convenient excuse.

DOOD!!!

Very easy. As I understand it, he just never showed up. Applies equally to player and character.

...I can't believe I missed this for so long, but I think Tigra's still got an extra HP over what should be possible.

The HP cap at level 1 is 20, and you can only gain one point in a stat each level, right? So the maximum HP a character can have at level 4 is 23, unless my math is failing me.

Her base HP was 18, she ate an Angelic Robe, and then the rules were changed so that they had to be worn instead of consumed. Problem solved!

How does fog of war work if we're doing PBP instead of "move, see what you see now, then choose what to do"?

Yeah, if it's like traditional FE fog of war where it's "bump into target, end turn immediately", it's going to be quite unfun...

...wow, talk about glaring oversights. Okay, yeah, I somehow did not think of that. Okay, slight modification incoming.

Okay, so how this is going to work is that enemies within 7 spaces of a party member will have their position discernible on the map, but you will not be able to tell anything else about them until you get within visual range. Also of note, while most of the party has a visual range of 3 in the fog, Zeera has a range of 5 due to her Thief feat. I'll also tell you right now that the same visual restrictions apply to the enemy.

Oh cool. I suppose we'll playtest this by ear, kind of. I'm game.
