Enjoying the mod a lot so far, I really feel like I found the right one for me.
Got some extra info about the bug with Soldiers and Warriors gaining unintended support abilities if you don't already have it.
Soldiers are learning "Halve MP" from Barong, and Warriors are getting it from the Samson Sword. Warriors are getting "Impervious" from the Falchion. I'm not far enough yet to discover if there's more than that though.
I was really excited at first when I thought Luso had innate Halve MP so I started building him as a Keeper/Seer, until I realized it was just a bug. Still going to build him that way and resist the temptation of Halve MP and see how it goes!
General balance seems good so far. I can't just breeze through quests anymore and have had some very challenging missions due to being underleveled. My Tinkerer is the only thing that keeps me afloat...those battles against other Auction House contenders are really challenging early on! I actually had to plan a strategy against Graszton Seaways (who challenged me even though I didn't get 1st place in the auction?) so I'm looking forward to what's ahead. Archer seems underwhelming so far, but maybe I'm just spoiled by how fun they were in Clan's Journey. Pretty much only keeping him around for Hunting later on.
I'm excited about trying out Doublecast on Seers and Magick Frenzy on Red Mages, I think that's a great balance change to fix all the dumb stuff without removing those cool abilities completely. One complaint is that speed battles might be even more broken than they are in vanilla or other mods. In the first one "Veis, Assassin" against house Bowen, they took it to HP critical in about 3 attacks, and all I had to do was snipe the kill on my first real turn. The assassin never had the chance to do anything! "Wow, you really showed your stuff out there, going invisible and all that." It seems in general that enemies' equipment scales pretty rapidly, much more quickly than monster stats (at least in the early game).
