That's not what the law calls them wise blade.
In europe it will be 2,50 and 6 for the whole pack.
Yeah but it doesn't tell you who's compatible with who until you get the ranks up. Blows chunks.
Of course. IMO that's the only way to understand what the franchise is about.
As to the support question: Is
not compatible with
?
As a first time player as well, I say no. You will make mistakes which will get your characters killed: 100% certain. I would have three characters left if I was playing Classic. Play Casual first, then Classic on the second playthrough.

That's correct. Chrom's support list is
Frederick, Lissa, Sully, Vaike, Sumia, Maribelle, Gaius, Olivia
You should.It's really put no pressure on you without it.
Probably 25 - 40 hours first playthrough?
The Taguel pay no heed to the laws of man!
Because I spend way too long thinking about the game rather than playing the game, I took a look at Serenes Forest to see what the different children can inherit. There are some interesting choices here, but one that stuck out to me was Nowi/Donnel. If what I think will work works, this will make for a crazy Nah.
So, might as well just ask: Does Underdog work as well as I think it might for a Manakete? Manakete is a base class, so if I at the end of things toss a Second Seal her way to roll back to Manakete 1, she'll be triggering Underdog a lot, right? And without losing the Manakete stat caps?
I was thinking of pairing those two up, anyway. They were training partners in the DLC when I first got them, and without having started their supports yet, I have a feeling they'll be funny together.

It does, it's why I had Donnel marry Nowi, just becaues he's a peg knight giver and well it's one of her less creepy options.

Yeah donnel and nowi is perfect for each other. Both share the same naive innocence.
Oh, my. I found a good one, then. Yay. Nah is seriously going to be a badass dragon with that. Although I'm not sure if that would fit the description of "Underdog". Stat capped dragon vs. Level 2 Soldier. Clearly the dragon needs an extra advantage.
And yeah, Nowi is... weird. She's hilarious, though, but weird. I don't think seeing a dragon do a loop while giggling like a little girl after brutally killing a man will ever look right. It will probably never stop being funny, either. Actually, I was thinking more of Donnel's story in this. Village gets attacked by bandits, he sets out on a grand adventure to fight for what's right and ends up marrying a dragon. Classic fairy tale there. I mean it was that or Lissa, and i still haven't figured out what to do with her.
Speaking of funny lines, I need to do something with Kellam. Not sure what yet, but he's amazing. Had him yell "LOOK AT ME!!!" while doing a critical hit, then calmly going "Good." while looking at the slain enemy. Is there anyone in the army who isn't a little unhinged?

So, a question, if I have some children quests activated now, if I level their parents to get new skills, will the children still get those skills?

Yes, you can even enter in the chapter, don't start the battle, go back to the world map through the menu, and the child's stats still will be updated if you level up their parents before going back there again.

Alright, awesome. I thought I just fucked over the
avatar's child.
How do I give donnel galeforce? I keep hearing that he can give people gale force.

Donnel can't get Galeforce, but if his child is female, she'll inherit the Pegasus Knight class line from him and will be able to get Galeforce herself even if her mother doesn't have access to the Pegasus line.
Using the Nowi example mentioned before, Nowi herself doesn't have the Pegasus Knight class line, but Nah with Donnel as her father will be able to class change to Dark Flier to get Galeforce. Gaius and the male avatar are the only other males who can pass Pegasus Knight to female children who usually wouldn't have the class.
He doesn't get Galeforce himself, but can pass it on to Tharja, Nowi, or Sully's kid. They usually can't Galeforce unless they habe the Avatar, Donnel, or Gaius as father.

It's the only thing a 2 hour+ transit everyday is good for, trust me.
Thanks for the answers guys.
Have you met Henry yet? Talking about unhinged...
Antiwhippy

So do the children also inherit the stats?
No, but I met Tharja. I mean I guess it's appropriate for a Dark Mage to be that intentionally creepy, but still...
I'm still only at chapter 11. Should probably get that one done soon. Just saved an Anna from some Risen. Interesting that you can end up with that combination. You get free stuff for saving her.
My Sumia is the same. Also she dodges everything. Although now i have children she is not the strongest anymore.

Playing on hard/classic I got a solid 60 hours (activity log time) out of my first playthrough. That's with most of the paralogues but without any of the online stuff or DLC.
Their base stats are calculated from the stats of the parent, so their missions get easier as you train the parents. Their stat cap modifier is a sum of the modifiers of the parents +1. The only exception is if you marry a child unit, Morgan won't have the extra +1 on his/her caps.

Wow, the children sound like they could be insanely powerful.

Thanks for the help, guys. I...need to start checking the levels of enemy units before I start a map.
Parents can have a negative modifier on stat caps so if you get two of those together, you may get a weaker child unit instead =P. (not exactly, but some stats would get the same cap or maybe a lower cap)

They are. There's really no reason to use most of the first gen characters once you get them aside from the fact they might not be immediately ready to fight.
Their own base stats will drag down the average so they won't be as strong as their parents right away.
Shit, so do I. I cannot believe I haven't done this yet.
Also, is the entire Golden Pack worth buying? EXPonential Growth, Inifinte Regalia, Golden Gaffe.
If you plan to buy the challenge maps, yes. It makes training easier. I wouldn't use it for the main campaing though, you can get overleveled pretty quickly.
Exponential growth is good for leveling those characters you never use. Golden Gaffe if you want to never worry about being unable to buy anything ever again
Yup, the one couple I feel is "just right" for Nowi and I don't have to feel guilty at all. Plus you get an awesome Nah.
That would be Smash Brethren 2.
Check Rogues and Redeemers 3 for Limit Breaker (+10 to stat caps) and Lost Bloodlines 3 for Paragon (x2 exp gain)

And Infinite Regalia for legendary weapons and the silver card, which ties in nicely with Golden Gaffe making that money you earn last even longer.
