Final Fantasy Hacktics

For a hack I am working on I am trying to have one Special Character have a nerfed form of Math Skill as his unique skillset.  Well I have run into some trouble you see I have altered his skillset and checked the Action Menu to Math skill.  However, in battle I still can't use Math Skill.  What I have found though is that if I set this character to AI command he can use it.

Any tips on how to alleviate this problem.

I have some questions about skillsets related to the Dragoon, Geomancer, Samurai, Onion Knight and Chemist.

First off with the Dragoon if I just changed its action menu to default could I replace all of its skills with whatever other skills I wanted to without any issue? Could I do the same thing with the Samurai?

Is there anyway I can edit the Geomancer skillset every attempt I have made has failed.

Is there anyway I can give the Onion Knight skills at all?

Finally in my hack I think I would like to have ALL classes Item could I just give all the classes Item as an innate skill?

Thanks in advance.

This patch is focused on balancing and making things more fun.  I will not lie I did to take lots of ideas from 1.3, but I've added in enough of my own ideas to make it worth while I think anyway right now I only have files for the PSP.  If anyone needs "alternate" means of getting this please feel free to email me at: mailto:alexbharmon@gmail.com">alexbharmon@gmail.com
