Discussion for Fire Emblem: The Great Divide

And obviously people with wings who can turn into giant feathery predators would learn how to use large cumbersome instruments of melee combat so they could fight fair with other species over how to fly or strategize combat in three directions.

Well, seeing as how they can't constantly transform and stay transformed, then yeah, if they were going to fight, they logically would. 

The same applies to fighting within concrete corridors, or fighting in duels that are incredibly common for the laguz forms not fit for 1v1 combat, like Herons or Cats.

Laguz need to build up a gauge in order to transform.

Otherwise, why transform into a humanoid form other than to take up less space/have opposable thumbs?

Awakening doesn't have limits because the Taguel and the Manaketes use a Dragonstone/Beaststone. Though I think there's something like that for Laguz, but those are really rare or something.

Mechanics for Laguz in the games:

"The exact ways Laguz function in battle depends on the game you're playing. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn both have Laguz and implement them in different ways.

Some mechanics are shared by the two games, though. In battle, Laguz always have a Transformation Gauge, which (when it fills up) allows a laguz to morph into its animal form. When a Laguz is transformed, it slowly drains its transformation gauge until it reaches 0, at which point the Laguz reverts to its humanoid form.

Typically, when a Laguz is untransformed, it is somewhat vulnerable, and can never initiate attacks. But once the beast/bird/dragon transforms, they gain large attribute bonuses that make them formidable opponents."

I believe it's based on stress. Time limits could probably be anywhere from a minute to half an hour. We can alter things a bit.

So the hawk general will be completely fine with his size-murdering tactic.

So, Neo, you feeling better? I wasn't intending to upset you with my statement earlier. We're both grumpy.

The only person I have a problem with is Fen, which you can see why at the top of this page, second sentence.

That's a pretty terrible reason to be honest.

He can't transform though, so it was done purely out of necessity. Plus, isn't he like a thousand years old as well?

True on both counts, but it means it's very much possible to do.


...Do you really think any of us even have much to worry about, with regards to explaining things more poorly than RD itself did? I doubt we'll get lower than "warp powder glitch." : P

Have Neo PM Crow to work out the details of what could happen? Offensive singing magic?
