Wondering, are the mastery of our skills going to act like they do in MM7? Should we be trying to figure out how far we can take our skills before we invest points in them, so we aren't "wasting" points on something we're going to stop using at some point in the future? Like, the Warrior/Paladin. I start with the spear, and I decide to go with it, and invest all my points there. Though, I can only have normal(I can't remember what level they reach in it, actually.) skill rating in it, and I would have been far better going with the cudgel, being able to grand master that skill.
It's not EXACTLY the same as MMVII, (no Swim or Hunting skill in MMVII, for starters) but I tried to keep the basic roles the same. So for example, Sorcerer will still get access to GM in all four elemental magics but nothing in the way of Self magic. A fully promoted Paladin gets GM Spear, and M Sword, Cudgel, and Unarmed. All other weapon skills are E or lower, and they can't learn Thrown.
This, of course, is by default; if your character is known for throwing things (say FFVII Yuffie ended up as a Paladin), then one of her abilities might be getting access to Thrown even though it's usually barred for that class. But that depends on the character.
I'm also considering enchantments that will let you act as if you were a skill tier higher when using a certain skill (kind of like a beefed up version of the enchantment that adds to your skill level), but we're a bit early in the game for that.

Alright. Well, I was also wondering about the Herbalist's Dodge vs Leather option. In the game, I don't recall them learning dodge at all. Not that I really care all that much. I may just go all dodge anyway.

Not sure who's still active in this, but if it's moving on, and I do change characters, I have modified my character's skill selection. I don't usually go for alchemy in the game, but I was thinking it might be nice to go for it here.

Yeah. I've noticed. Not sure about that, since there's various things each person could decide to do at any given point in time.

I have a thought, and I'd like the rest of you to weight in.
For minor combats like this, we go three rounds, and if it isn't over by then we'll go with whichever side is closer to winning. (Draws will go to the party since they're the PCs.  ) Boss fights might stay normal, but by then the group should have more options so it'll go faster anyway.

I'd be willing to at least see how it turns out. Sounds good enough.

For future fights I might at least try to calculate the amount of damage taken in the 'wrap-up' after the first few rounds, but this time I'm not going to bother. Consider it minor compensation for the fight dragging on for so long.

Alkar, I'm introducing Rikku with Geny's char; will you be okay playing her (him? ) and Glenn until we can shove Glenn under the carpet or do you want me to NPC Glenn for now?

I'm going to be out of town starting tomorrow; I should still have internet access but I won't have access to most of my notes. Where we are now it probably won't make much of a difference, but I'm giving you a heads-up anyway.

Sorry about not really getting into this. You have a lively bunch of people, so it should continue for a long time. I am officially withdrawing for now.
