If you have a question that pertains to the RP or to how it is run, look here first. Your question may be answered already, and saves everyone time. If it is not, either PM either me or any of the mods, or post it in a topic if you want member input on it. If you have a question that you think should be on this list, post it here.

Ok, I just joined the RP, but I don't know what to do with my character! What does this RP offer?
First off, welcome to the FES RP, we're glad to have you! To start out, you must first choose a country (either Vardas, Nerane, or Leora). Your country is your character's place of origin, and where your 'loyalty' will lie. Next, you can create your own character (see this topic if you have questions), in the style of FE characters. Once your character has been approved, you can begin to create a history for your character. This is entirely optional, but the RP is more fun when your character has a story to flesh out. Additionally, some people make up their character's story as they go along, which is a completely different way of participating in the RP. Your character then has plenty of avenues to join in on the RP (read the rest of the FAQ for more info), and if you have any additional questions on how to RP, feel free to PM any of the RP Mods, or to post in this topic.

Can I become a mod/battle calculator?
Unless someone specifically calls for one, please do not ask to be one. We already have plenty.

What are countries?
Countries are the area of the continent in the RP where your character resides. The Land of Ethyria (which is the world our RP takes place in) is divided into three countries: Vardas, Nerane, and Leora. When in certain countries, you can participate in country events (i.e. wars and battles) that people from other countries may or not be able to. You cannot switch countries once your profile has been approved, unless you wish to start over your character.

Can I make a new country?
No.

Can I become a country lord?
No, not unless we happen to be short one. In which case, a new one will be decided on skill and integrity among the RP members.

Can I make a custom class?
There are custom classes in the RP, but no you may not make/add a new one. The class lists are set and definite.

What are country NPCs?
Country non-player characters are units that are controlled by the country lord and not any players in the RP. They are essentially extra characters that play a part in the story of each country. Most NPCs are a part of that country's army, but some are non-military units. NPCs do not get their own money or vulneraries, and they cannot participate in the arena. They can participate in SQs/battles, but they usually do not go on quests of their own, and are used when they are needed. Player characters can be a part of the military if they choose, but they are not restricted like country NPCs.

What are battles? Can I join/start one?
Battles are large scale fights that involve larger amounts of PCs. They differ from a team-battle to a free-for-all, and offer your characters a chance to get into the storyline. Battles can only be started by RP Mods, and joining requirements for each battle differ. Check on the discussion topic to see if there are any spots left open in the battle, and if your character fills the requirements.

What happens when my character dies/falls in a battle/arena fight?
Don't worry, your character is not dead forever. A "death" is added to your character's profile to track the amount of times they have fallen, and currently there is no limit to how many times a character can die/fall in battle. You can keep any Exp/Wexp your character gained up to that point.

How do I fight in the arena?
In arena battles, you choose an opponent (from this site) and if they agree to battle, then a battle calculator will do the calculations. Your characters must fight in a pre-agreed setting in the RP; a character who is in Vardas cannot fight a character who is Nerane unless they meet somewhere. Do not create a topic to find people who want to battle: go here.

How long must my character wait between arena fights?
Your character may fight in the arena every four days, as long as they are not currently in another battle.

Can my character be in multiple battles/arena fights at one time?
No, you can only do one at a time.

What are supports, and is there a limit to them?
Supports are a conversation between two characters that enables them to gain extra stats when they are within three spaces of each other. There are three levels of supports, which can be gained by participating in battles with the other character. Currently there is no limit to the amount of supports a character can have.

What are the chapters about?
The chapters are the main storyline of the game, a place where you role play with all of the included characters. It can lead to many things, like friendships and wars.

How do I start/join one?
You cannot start a chapter RP, only the role play heads may. To join a chapter RP, first check to make sure you can, then just post in the RP topic. Make sure your character is in the place that the RP is taking place in.

What are journals?
The Journal board (coming soon!) is where you record your RP character's story, a place where you can write in first person how your character thinks and reacts to certain events. You can make it your own story, and can do almost anything that you want in it. But, if you are going to write a conversation between you and someone else's character, you must ask their permission.

Where can I find an overworld for my class?
Here are most of the overworlds found in the game:

Only certain classes have female overworlds, so if yours is not in this set, you can request one. You can also make your own overworld if you would like, but it must be between 17x33 or 33x17 pixels please.

My character is a thief, so where do I get a lockpick?
You either buy it in a secret shop, steal one from another thief, recieve one in a chest/village, or get a dropped lockpick from an enemy unit.

How does my character gain money?
Your character starts out with 1000g, and you can gain gold in many different ways. You can: sell items gained in chests/villages, gain money in chests/villages, win or do well in certain battles, bet in the arena, or win money in special events that come up.

Can characters trade with one another?
Yes they may. You can trade with any units that you cannot attack during a battle, as long as you both give consent. Trading items may only happen in battle.

What if I don't like my character anymore, can I create a new one?
Not without getting rid of your old one first, and your new one must start at level one. Simply ask a mod to move your profile, and you may create a new one.

Who are the Role Play Heads/Mods? Can I PM them if I have questions?
Yes, you can PM them anytime you have questions. Here is a list of the mods:

• Role Play Head:
  - Dark Overlord Zack
• Role Play Mods:
  - AngelOfDeath
  - AdamNW
  - CuGAR
  - yoshi71089
  - Zephiel
• Battle Calculators:

Can I get two or more S ranks?
lolno.

This may be very stupid to ask, but I want to anyway, just to be safe. Can I post my character's battle sprite as well as his mug?

EDIT: One more thing, can I post my profile now? I'm worried to, because only staff have done so...

The FAQ has been put up, so that should help you a little bit.

Yes, you can post a mug/battle sprite! All the more to give your character originality. And yes, you definitely can create your character now. The mod's characters are there as examples for how you can make your character.

:yoshi:

My character was drawn into war by another character either this character could be made by me or be an NPC, I'm not entirely sure so I'll ask.
Can we make a secondary character?

I'll have drawn you into war, if you like.

everyone can only have 1 character... for now.

you can make an NPC and send it to me though and I'll consider adding him to the list.

Can somebody delete or something my current character... I decided that I want that fucking lancer what I was doing in the first place before I got stupid idea to do thief...¬_¬

This can be done, but please PM a RP Mod in the future.

One random thing about 20/20 stats...
Are these calculated?: 40*growth + base stat + promotion gain = 20/20 stat
for example: 40*0,35 + 8 + 1 = 23

It's 39*growth + base + bonus

You have 39 level ups.

Thanks... that was bothering it is 40 or 39.

It's actually 38, since you don't start at 20/0

ohmai

oh my... anyways... sorry to bother again but one thing about promote arena battles started to bother me a bit...

Since some promo classes can use 2 weapon classes, is it like possible for challenger to send pm to RP mods what weapon you want to use because challenged may counterpick (but challenger may not have a chance for change after challenged have accepted the challenge) or do we get a rental E-rank weapon of our primary weapon class?

IMO rentals are the way to go. Otherwise, a person with a god weapon could beat everyone else.

There's no any kind of god weapon... even Dragoon with Gungnir, it can be countered by Lancereaver and/or most likely magics (lol res dragoon).

Or Druid with Apocalypse (weapon what haves highest mt (23 mt)) can be beaten by high RES Diviner with enough AS to attack twice with Judgement... ouch.

Well, I mean that it's the fairest way to go.

Yea, I understood what you tried to say.. I think I should have said that : /

But I think with own weapons there could be some surprising situations... example: if it would be sure that mr. challenged would win (if both have E-rank weps) this could be changed when challenged haves a chance to change equipped weapon to other...
Example: Legionnaire vs Berserker. Legionnaire just picks his sword if Berserker doesn't have reavers... but this situation will be interesting if Berserker has reaver... Then both will need some luck when equipping themselves to arena.
Or how about Hero vs Legionnaire? Both has 2 different raevers and much other nice stuff... wow... hard to choose a weapon... even both has S-rank wep (killer, brave (those are nice weapons too)), you can't be sure if you pick your S-rank, other will choose too)

But of course there can be situation when there's nothing to do...
(example:
1. Berserker vs Dragoon. Berserker doesn't have reaver or money to buy one and Dragoon has reaver.
2. Any unit has weapon what is effective against wyverns vs wyvern with any weapon class(es)
3. Archer vs flying)
In arena, Archers are lucky 'cause they doesn't have to worry about WTA/WTD or attacking range... lucky bastards
4. General vs Berserker/Warrior. Berserker/Warrior has Hammer, and General can use Lances and Axes but doesn't have reaver or money to buy one.)

E: random thought... Any character who can use swords with Runesword vs. Any character who can use Dark tomes with Nosferatu =D Interesting battle...

Was there a point to this?

You use the first weapon in your inventory when stats are approved..

omg... Point was to avoid counterpicks...

Let's eliminate strategy in a SRPG.

Should I not be allowed to fight Fencers or Fighters, because of obvious dis/advantages?

*sigh*... nobody can counterpick as long as people gets C wep rank...
And I haven't said that ppl shouldn't be allowed to fight against others if there's wta/wtd...

No eff. weapons in the arena. Period.

Oh, k... then it's almost fine but still acceptable (poor Fighters and Berserkers)... but I think that should be in that arena rules -topic, 'cause some people may do some calculating before they challenge/ accept challenge if they use reaver against his/her enemy.

E: I hope you meant with that reavers too O _ o''

This is totally unrelated, but I reposted myself 2 days ago and I haven't heard a word about it. Should I instead go and edit the stats of/remove all EXP/WEXP from my already approved one?

Why would you repost yourself?

He recalculated his character and want's to replace the old one... or something.
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Fire_Emblem_Sp...showtopic=10380

Yeah. I also made a thread to say that I had in this forum.

yes... that's what everyone does.

oic kk thnx

1. Are there Iote's Shields(Item that protects wyverns/pegs from bows/magic) in the game? Where could you find them?

2. How vulnerable are Dragon Knights to magic and/or bows?

1. No, I don't believe so.

2. Bows have a x3 effectiveness and the magic is simply low base Res.

That's a relief. I though magic did x3 too XD.

Were that so, I'd do my best to give wyverns demigodly stats.

:D

Soo... I lvl'd up... are we getting stats like in regular FE?
If yes, could I get my possible stat gains.

I'll run numbers

ok, just getting this straight. so

Dagger and Short Bow has 1-2 range???

I don't remember Short Bow, but Dagger = Hand Axe = Javelin.

Yes, it haves 1-2 range.
