Fire Emblem The Tides of War V2fates

Version 2/Fates
The Tides of War
Tabletop Strategy Core Rulebook and

Player's Handbook
Fire Emblem: The Tides of War is a fan-made tabletop adaptation of the popular
video game series, Fire Emblem made by Johnathan Frey, also known as
Obelion13, a loser who browses 4chans /tg/ board and wanted to make a game
system for Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem: The Tides of War is in no way associated
with Nintendo and was not made for profit, although a little recognition for the
hard work I put into typing all of this is always nice to hear.

Author Notes
Obelion here with the biggest update in the history of Tides of War! Fire
Emblem: The Tides of War v2/Fates (pronounced Two Fates) marks the addition
of all of the content from the new Fire Emblem: Fates games as well as
overhauling the aesthetics of the rulebook. Youll find that many of the old classes
have been refined or polished with new class pictures and the new classes added
into new of the Fates sections. This update was extremely taxing as the number
of Skill was almost doubled outright, if not more than doubled. New classes also
had to be balanced for the game but I think I managed to faithfully recreate them
for tabletop.
The v2/Fates update currently uses the translated names for new Skills and
class names, so when Fates is released locally in the U.S., the Tides of War will be
updated to reflect the name changed found in the localized version.
I put many long nights into this update, so if you find any errors or would
just like to voice anything about the game, please do not hesitate to contact me
using the information found on the previous page. I hope that people who play the
game find it to be everything they expect and more, so please enjoy!

Introduction
What is Fire Emblem: The Tides of War?
Fire Emblem: The Tides of War is an adaptation of the Fire Emblem video
game series for tabletop gaming. While knowledge of the Fire Emblem games will
make it easier to enjoy the game, no knowledge of the game is required in order to
play. This game focuses on a ragtag group of heroes completing their objectives
through tactical turn-based combat. Teamwork will be necessary, for once a
character dies, there's no coming back! The series signature threat of permanent
death is ever present!
In this tabletop strategy system, roleplaying is at a minimum in favor of
focusing on combat mechanics translated directly from the video games for the
tabletop gaming format, although roleplaying is highly encouraged and even
rewarding at times.
What will I need to play?
A standard dice consisting of a four, six, eight, twelve, twenty, and two ten
sided dice are easy to get a hold of and come with every dice you'll need to play
the game. While twelve and twenty sided die are rarely used in Fire Emblem: The
Tides of War, they come in a standard tabletop dice set anyways, so it won't hurt to
have around. If you can't get your hands on a set for some reason, free dice rolling
programs are available online with a bit of Google magic.
Here are a few more things you'll need:
A pencil
Character sheet(s) and a generated character
Easy access to this handbook
Scratch paper (optional)
People to play with (1 Gamemaster and 2-3 players)
A game mat with square tiles to place miniatures
Miniatures or tokens of some kind to place on the game mat
Character Generation
Before you can enter the Fire Emblem universe, you need a character! Your
personal character's combat prowess and fighting style can be seen as a reflection
of the person controlling then, making this character your means of inserting
yourself into the wondrous world of Fire Emblem.
Whether you choose to be the courageous cavalier who bravely charges into
battle to protect your comrades, the studious mage who strives to master the arcane
secrets of the world, or the cunning thief who lies in wait for the prime opportunity
to strike at your foe's gold pouches, your character's attributes and combat role are
your ticket into fame and fortune, or possibly even the grandiose halls of legend.
Determining Base Stats

Every Fire Emblem game has the common theme of assembling your army
with a colorful assortment of loveable and memorable individuals. Each of these
characters, or units as they're called, are all proficient in different things. For
example, Feena from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem is a very cheery girl
who happens to be a very skilled dancer; however, her cheery disposition and
energetic attitude gets on the nerves of Nabarl, a distant but highly skilled
swordsman who has the misfortune of being the target of Feena's romantic
advances.
While a chosen class determines your talents on the battlefield, the key in a
unit's efficacy in combat lies in their stats. The higher a stat is the more effective
the unit is in using the stat with their appropriate actions. A Fighter with high
Strength can hold heavier weapons and deal more damaging blows, while a
Myrmidon with high Speed can dance around a foe's offenses and possibly attack
twice in one turn. The following section will proceed to explain what each stat
does mechanically.
Health Points (HP)
Possibly the most important stat in the game, Health Points are what
keep your unit on their feet. You don't roll for HP like the following stats;
instead, you refer to your class' "Starting HP" section to determine how
much HP you start with. If your HP ever drops to zero, your unit is
considered dead, and since this is Fire Emblem, there are no second chances
on the battlefield! Play strategically or your units will be lost forever!
Level
When a unit participates in combat or uses a staff, they earn
experience points. When a unit gains 100 experience points, they level up
and get stronger! See page 22 on details on leveling up.
Strength (Str)
This stat represents your unit's physical ability to swing their preferred
weapon. Having a high Strength makes your physical attacks more powerful.
Magic (Mag)
Your unit's control and affinity for the arcane arts is represented by
their Magic stat. Having a higher Magic makes your spells stronger and your
healing arts more efficient.
Skill (Skl)
Skill is the unit's culmination of proficiency and combat maneuvers.
Having a high Skill enables your unit's attacks to be more accurate and also
determines your chance to score a devastating Critical Hit.
Speed (Spd)
Your unit's agility and reflexes are represented by Speed. With a high
Speed, attacks are easier to evade. If you're attacking a slower target, you
may even be able to attack twice in a single turn!
Defense (Def)
Defense is your unit's ability to shrug off a physical attack. When
being attacked by a weapon, this stat will determine how much damage is
reduced per attack. When you get swarmed by a pack of Fighters and
Myrmidons and walk away from it alive, you'll be glad you had the Defense
to withstand the onslaught.
Resistance (Res)
Your Resistance functions as your Defense against magical attacks.
When being attacked by a spell, you'd use your Resistance as damage
reduction per attack just as Defense reduces physical damage. Given the
powerful nature of spell casting, having a high Resistance can pay off very
quickly.
Luck (Lck)
A person's mysterious affinity for good fortune is their luck. While no one
knows what luck really is or how it works, it plays a role in many key stats,
including your Hit, Crit, and CrtAvo, or your ability to evade critical hits.
Constitution (Con)
Constitution is simply your body size. This is the main factor for rescuing, as
you can only rescue units who have a smaller Constitution than you. Note that
Mounted units have a separate Constitution called "Aid" that is much higher than
theirs that is used for rescuing other units. Aid is calculated by (Conx2) +2.
Constitution CANNOT be increased through normal level ups, so roll well!
Affinity
The natural element your spiritual energy most aligns to. This is used in the
Support system and governs what passive bonuses you grant to your closest allies.
Determining Growth Rates and Rolling for Stats

Stats in the Fire Emblem games function off of hidden growth rates, class
growth rates, and random number selection, which can lead to a unit with abilities
to varying degrees. Anything ranging from a walking avatar of destruction to a
complete pushover is possible due to the erratic nature of random number
generation. To help with those balancing issues and to simplify stat growths, base
stats are determined using a predetermined array of numbers that help prevent a
unit from being too weak, effectively becoming the weak link on the chain.
A characters standard array consists of the following numbers assigned to
your Strength, Magic, Skill, Speed, Luck, Defense, and Resistance stats.
1/1/1/1/1/1/2
You also receive a pool of 15 Base Stat Bonus Points that can be added to
any of these numbers. These numbers are rearranged and assigned to your stats
according to your liking. A stat with a higher Base Stat number will be more likely
to receive a bonus upon leveling up. Your Base Stats are also affected by the class
you choose, but only once upon character generation.
The maximum value of a Base Stat is nine. The minimum value of a
Base Stat is zero.
A units Base Stats are independent of a units Current Stats, which are the
stats a unit utilizes in combat. Unlike Base Stats that determine how well a unit
grows in a stat, a Current Stat is the stat that actually determines a units efficacy in
that area.
To determine a characters starting Current Stats, roll 1d8 for each of the
seven stats. These rolls can be rearranged among your stats as desired. When you
choose a class detailed in the next chapter, these stats will receive bonuses and
penalties to reflect upon the nature of the class you select. For example, a Fighter
will receive a bonus to his Strength due to their immense physical power.
Constitution does not receive an assignable number due to its varying and
individual nature. To determine a units Constitution, roll 1d12.
Summary
For a level one character:
1. Select a Base Class
2. Add your Class Stat Adjustments to your Base Stats and Current
Stats
3. Rearrange the numbers in the Standard Array to your Strength,
Magic, Skill, Speed, Luck, Defense, and Resistance as desired.
4. Add your Base Stat Bonus Points to your assigned Base Stat
numbers.
5. Roll 1d8 to determine your Current Strength, Magic, Skill, Speed,
Luck, Defense, and Resistance stats.
6. Roll 1d12 for Constitution.
7. Choose a Personal Skill from the Skills chapter
8. Roll 1d8 and consult the following table to determine your
Affinity used in determining Support Bonuses. Affinity will never
change after character creation.
Affinity Table
Result of 1d8 Roll
Corresponding Affinity
1
Anima
2
Dark
3
Fire
4
Ice
5
Light
6
Thunder
7
Wind
8
Heaven
Note that you cannot have a negative number in a stat! The minimum value
you can have in a single Current Stat is zero, so don't screw up and put negatives in
or you'll be in some serious trouble!
Base Classes: Choosing a Combat

Style
Part of what makes Fire Emblem tactically engaging is the plethora of
classes that can potentially join you in your quest. Each class has a defining feature
that helps them craft an identity and specialization in your army. Maybe you're the
type of person that favors heavily armored Knights, powerful Fighters and stout
Cavaliers for a formidable melee offensive? Or maybe you prefer the swift spears
of Pegasus Knights? There are plenty of classes and one is bound to be your style.
While you can't always choose the class of the latest person to join your
ragtag army, having knowledge of their abilities and proficiencies will enable you
to take advantage of their strengths and ensure that your fellow soldiers live to see
another sunrise. The following section will alphabetically list every detail about the
classes featured in Fire Emblem: The Tides of War
Reading the Base Class Information Block

Every Base Class has different starting HP values, base and current stat
modifications, and weapon proficiencies. To start generating a character, select
your desired class, roll your class' Starting HP value, and add its listed Class Stat
Adjustment to both your Base Stats and Current Stats! Note that you can add
your Class Stat Adjustment after you've rearranged your Base Stats if you desire.
All starting classes (which may also be called first tier classes) and their respective
features are presented in the upcoming pages. To help you read the stat blocks,
refer to the legend below.
Note that all stat caps for a first tier unit are 20 unless specified (such as
with the Dancer/Bard/Singer or Taguel classes).
Class Name: The name of the Base Class. If a class name is gender specific,
it will be denoted with a for Male and for Female.
Description: Brief flavor text about the class
HP/Stats: The class' HP value at level one and any change in base stats caused by
class selection. The base HP of the class comes before the forward slash and the
class HP Gain value, or the value one must roll under or match upon leveling to
gain +1HP, is listed after the forward slash.
Move: How many spaces a unit may travel in one turn and any special movement
types they may possess, such as Flight or Waterwalk. If a unit possesses the Canto
innate skill, it will be marked here.
Proficiencies: The weapon types the class can use. Proficiency for new characters
starts at Rank E.
Skills: Any special skills or class bonuses will be listed here along with the level
you gain them at. You do not lose your previous class' skill when promoting; you
simply gain the listed skill(s) on top of what you have now. Skill effects are shown
in the Skills chapter.

Promoted Classes
Tier two classes, also referred to as Promoted Units, are the cream of the
crop. They are unrivaled warriors and adept spell weavers who move to the rhythm
of battle, the steps a familiar dance that need no special attention. Conflict has
conditioned them into unnaturally talented individuals, with the most gifted ones
having the honor of ascending into immortality through legends and folklore.
Every unit aspires to promote into a second tier class as upon promotion,
they receive numerous stat bonuses, gain access to new proficiencies, and have the
potential to learn terrifyingly powerful skills.
21
Promotion
When a unit reaches level 20, a unit stops gaining EXP! A level 20 character
needs to promote in order to wiggle out of their first tier class, but in order to do
that, they need a special promotional item. This item depends on your class, but
upon using it, you become a level 1 second tier unit and gain stat boosts and more
skills! You can use these items any time above level 10, so keep a look out for
your promotion item or you'll be cramped in your first tier class till you find one!
You'll find a list of promotional items in the Items chapter. Note that you cannot
change classes once you promote! If you decide to be a Sage, you're a Sage
forever, so make sure to look over your options before making a decision such as
this! To promote into a second tier unit:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Change your level back to one

Change your class into your chosen second tier class
Add your Promotion Bonuses onto only your Current Stats.
If a stat isn't listed in your Promotion Bonuses, it receives an automatic
+2. Constitution is included with this ruling.
5. Replace your move value with the Move value listed in Promotion Bonuses
6. Change your weapon proficiencies to the types listed in the Proficiencies
section. If your new promotion possesses the same weapon proficiencies,
your weapon rank keeps its ranking; otherwise, your new proficiencies start
out at Rank E.
7. Add any gained skills to your skills list. Note that you do not lose old skills;
your new skills are merely added onto your skill pool.
The following pages feature all class blocks for the promoted classes. The
layout is similar to first tier units and is meant to provide you as much information
as possible about your next potential class. Remember that in the Promotion Bonus
section, specific values are given to your stat bonuses. If it is not listed, it is an
automatic +2 to your current stats. Don't forget about this while leveling or
you'll miss out on a free +2 to your stats!

Stat Caps
Tier One classes are still young warriors with much knowledge and
experience not yet gained. Therefore, their stat caps, or their maximum value, are
always 20. The only exceptions are HP and Luck. HP caps at 70 and Luck caps
at 30 since they are values that can't be bound by such a small limitations.
Promoted units have varying stats caps across the board that reflects their
combat styles and any proficiencies/skills they gain upon promotion. After all, a
Sage will certainly be more adept at Magic than a Druid, but a Druid will also have
much better defenses. While their primary stats will all vary accordingly, HP will
always cap at 70 and Luck will always cap at 30 as previously stated. The
following table lists the stat caps for each second tier class.
*Dancers, Bards, and Singers are first tier classes that DO NOT promote.
However, they have a maximum level of 30 and second tier class stat caps to make
up for it. Their stat caps are as follows:
Strength: 22 / Magic: 24

**Grandmasters and Great Lords stat caps are as followed: 26 in 2 chosen

The Manaketes
In the past, the Dragon Tribes roamed the lands alongside humanity. A
massive imbalance in the worlds energy caused the dragons to begin to erode,
losing their fertility and eventually their sanity. The Manakete elected to seal their
draconic essence into Dragonstones and live amongst men in humanoid forms,
drawing power from the Dragonstones when needed, in an effort to preserve their
bodies and minds. While restricted to lesser forms, the Manakete still held the
power of the apocalyptic dragons close, making them valuable allies and terrifying
foes.
Due to their dependency on their Dragonstones, Manakete are only effective

when wielding such rare and powerful items, yet are nearly insurmountable foes
when wielding one. Due to differentiations in settings over the series, a Game
Master may elect to use both Laguz and Manaketes freely but finding both races in
the same setting is rare. Unless intended, the Game Master should use one race
while excluding the other.
44
General Manakete Information

A Manakete is a Dragon who has elected to seal their draconic powers into a
large gem called their Dragonstone. A Manakete may only draw power from their
unique Dragonstone, yet may transfer the energies of a fallen Manaketes
Dragonstone to theirs, extending their lie spans and the length of time their energy
is preserved for. A Manakete that goes a long period of time without drawing their
dragon energies may become restless or eventually erode entirely, making an
occasional exercise in their original forms a necessity. Conversely, Manaketes that
spend too much time in their true forms age faster, putting their overall stability at
risk.
The Manaketes are divided into Tribes, usually based on various elements
found in nature. Fire Dragons, Ice Dragons, and Earth Dragons are the most
common Tribes, although Manaketes as a whole are almost legendary in existence.
The rarest of Manaketes, however, are the Dark Dragons and Divine Dragons. Two
types of Manakete called Mage Dragons and War Dragons also exist, but these two
breeds are formed through reviled magics that pervert a Divine Dragon into a
soulless engine of destruction. Wind Dragons also exist, but have fully degraded
into feral beings, becoming the Wyverns utilized by Wyvern Riders and Wyvern
Lords.
When in humanoid form, a Manakete resembles a regular human with large,
draconic wings sprouting from their backs. These wings cannot be dismissed or
retracted in any way, making blending in to normal human society difficult. Many
Manakete prefer to live in smaller villages or amongst the few of their own tribe
who have survived as long as them without losing their sanity.
A Manakete is able to put themselves into a state of suspended animation,
remaining semi-aware of their surroundings but otherwise hibernating until they
feel it appropriate to remerge into the world. This suspended animation causes their
aging and mental degradation to halt, enabling a sleeping Manakete to live for
thousands of years longer.
A normal human and a Manakete can mate with a Manakete and produce
fertile, hybrid children with dragon and human blood. Even rarer than the
extremely rare Manaketes, A hybrid usually lives longer than their human parents
45
but not as long as their Manakete parent. They also exhibit the ability to keep their
destructive urges under more control than a pureblood Manakete. A hybrid usually
use normal human Classes as their diminished draconic energies leave them unable
to shape shift via Dragonstones; however, hybrids that retain the ability to channel
Dragonstones take the Manakete class and are unable to take normal Classes used
by regular humans.
Manakete Transformation Mechanics

A Manakete is unable to fight in their human form, rendering extremely
vulnerable if engaged without their Dragonstone. However, a Manakete in
possession of their Dragonstone may transform freely at the start of an attack or
counterattack. A Manakete may also elect to transform once at the beginning of a
skirmish and have their transformation last until the end of the battle as this has the
same effect as transforming before every attack.
A Manakete that has transformed has access to their devastating breath
weapons, which use the Might indicated on their particular Tribes Dragonstones.
Using a Dragonstone to transform also confers additional stat bonuses to the
Manakete, which offset their lower starting stats. Ever attack made with their
breath weapon uses Durability from their Dragonstone like a regular weapon;
however, if their Dragonstone reaches 0 Durability, it shatters, rendering a
Manakete unable to transform into their dragon form. A new Dragonstone must be
constructed using a gemstone of a minimum of 10,000 gold in value by
transferring their dragon essence into the new gemstone which acts as the new
vessel. A Manakete that cannot construct a Dragonstone within one week begins to
slowly decay mentally, becoming mindless and feral in a month. A Manakete does
not suffer from this decay if separated from their Dragonstone for any length of
time but will experience their natural and growing desire for destruction until they
can be satiated.
46
Making a Manakete
A Manakete is generated similarly to a normal human character, but, instead
of choosing a Class, they take the Manakete class detailed in this section. A
Manakete may belong to a single Manakete Tribe and utilize their Tribes
indicated variation of Dragonstones. The Manakete class has a maximum level of
20. All Tribes also acquire a class skill at level 15. The skill they obtain is listed in
their Tribe entry. The following is a legend for use with the Manakete Tribe
entries. Once selected, a Manakete cannot change their Tribe, as this is the form
they were born with.
Tribe Name: The name of their Tribe and the form they take on upon
transformation
Description: Brief flavor text about the tribe
HP/Stats: The Tribes HP value at level one and any change in base stats caused
by tribe selection. The HP of the class comes before the forward slash, so dont get
mixed up on anything. Stat adjustments are applied to both a characters Base and
Current stats as previously mentioned in normal character creation. Note that these
only apply once at character generation
types they may possess, such as Flight or Waterwalk
Proficiencies: The type of Dragonstone your tribe may channel in combat and
what gemstone you must use as a vessel for your Dragonstone
Skills: Any special skills or Tribe bonuses will be listed here. A Laguz will start
with one or two skills and gain a new skill at Level 15 which is differentiated here
in parentheses. Skill effects are shown in the Skills chapter.

The Laguz
When the world was young, the Goddess of Dawn, Ashunera, made the first
people, the Zunanma. These beings split into two forms: the Beorc, blessed with
the gift of wisdom, and the Laguz, blessed with the gift of primal strength. While
Beorc wield weapons of all shapes into battle, Laguz channel their powers and
shift into fearsome animal forms to run like a swift wind, take to the skies, or even
breathe fire that melts steel and stone.
Being mighty beasts sealed within human forms, a Laguz unit must position
themselves carefully when untransformed, as they are very vulnerable in this state.
However, when they harness enough energy and transform into their bestial forms,
their combat prowess is terrifying and legendary. A Game Master may elect to use
both Laguz and Manaketes freely but finding both races in the same setting is rare.
Unless intended, the Game Master should use one race while excluding the other.
55
Reading The Laguz Information Block

General Laguz Information
A Laguz stays in a humanoid form when not in combat, turning into their
animal form when enough of their inner power has been stockpiled. This humanoid
form is similar to a normal human, yet possesses animalistic traits that reflect their
animal nature. These traits are ever-present and will always require some kind of
concealment if attempting to pass off as a Beorc. A Beast Tribe Laguz may have
feline ears or a large, bushy head of hair with a beard resembling a lion while a
Bird Tribe Laguz might have sharp eyes alongside their large, avian wings. A
player cannot opt to not have these features, as they are present on all Laguz.
By default, Laguz only appear in the Tellius series of Fire Emblem games,
and as such, your Game Master may opt to place the racial tension between Beorc
and Laguz found in the games onto you and other Laguz in the setting or disallow
the Laguz race entirely if the Game Masters setting doesnt support their presence.
On the other side, if a player wants to be a Laguz, try to work with them to include
Laguz in your setting if possible.
A normal human, formally known as a Beorc, can mate with a Laguz and
produce a child known as a Branded. A Branded always have a birthmark
somewhere on their body that labels them as a half-breed. Not quite human and
unable to harness energy into an animal form, Branded are usually social outcasts,
living in secret or in isolated Branded villages. If attempting to create a Branded
character, then refer back to the Class section as Branded are unable to transform
into their inherited Laguz Tribe, forcing them to take a Class instead of a Tribe.
Note that a Laguz lacks the ability to promote but has a maximum level cap
of 20. Laguz also acquire a class skill at level 15. The skill they obtain is listed in
their Tribe entry. A player may also wish to play a Laguz of a different breed of
animal or different color. Work with the Game Master to select the Tribe entry that
best matches what the player wants.
56
The Transformation Bar

In combat, a Laguz has what is called a Transformation Bar that represent
the energy a Laguz channels to shift into their true forms. This gauge has a
minimum of zero and has a maximum of 30 Laguz Points. When your Laguz
Points reaches or exceeds 30 points, you may immediately shift into your Laguz
form. If you choose not to shift when your Transformation Bar becomes full, your
Laguz Points begin to degrade normally as if you had shifted. A Laguz may shift
into their Laguz form any time before their Transformation Bar becomes empty as
a minor action, shifting back to their humanoid form when the bar empties as
normal.
At the beginning of your turn, you passively gain or lose Laguz Point
depending on your current form. In-battle events can also affect the gain of your
Laguz Points for the turn, such as being attacked or using special items. The points
you gain and lose per turn or event are different for every tribe and listed in their
own entries in the following section.
A Laguz gains weapon proficiency and proficiency ranks as normal. When
certain weapon ranks have been reached, a Laguzs natural weapons upgrade from
repeated use. When a Laguzs weapon rank increases, the Laguzs natural weapons
are swapped out for the natural weapon with a higher rank. A Laguz cannot
possess more than one natural Laguz weapon and must always use the highest
ranking weapon available.
The Humanoid Form Mechanics

Listed below are the three main properties of a Laguz in their humanoid form.
Aside from these two rules, Laguz function as normal characters.
1. A humanoid Laguz may not use weapons or tomes
2. A humanoid Laguz may counterattack an adjacent attacker, but may not
initiate combat or counterattack a ranged attacker.
3. A humanoid Laguz gains a number of Laguz Points at the start of their turn
and after being attacked depending on their chosen Laguz Tribe.
57
The Laguz Form Mechanics

This section details the special mechanics that come from being in a Laguz form.
1. A transformed Laguz gain a bonus to their stats that persist until the Laguz
reverts to their humanoid form.
2. A transformed Laguz gains the ability to use their natural weapons, which
are determined by their selected Tribe. These weapons cannot be used in
humanoid form in any way.
3. A transformed Laguz loses a number of Laguz Points at the start of their turn
and after being attacked depending on their chosen Laguz Tribe.
Making a Laguz
Unlike a Beorc, or regular human, Laguz do not follow the same formula for
character creation. Instead, they roll their stats like a normal character and pick a
Laguz Tribe. They also roll for a stat called their Laguz Initiative. A characters
Laguz Initiative determines the number of Laguz Points they naturally begin with
in a battle. To determine Laguz Initiative, roll 3d6. The result of this roll is a
characters Laguz Initiative and cannot be changed upon leveling up. Laguz
Initiative can represent how much inner power a Laguz passively channels or how
quick to act they can be, so lower Initiatives may represent a level-headed or
cautious Laguz while a high Initiative may represent a much more hot-headed
Laguz.
The following is a legend for use with the Laguz Tribe entries. Once selected, a
Laguz cannot change their Tribe, as this is the form they were born with.
Tribe Name: The name of their Tribe and the form they take on upon
transformation

The Dragon Tribes

Laguz of world sundering might, those of the Dragon Tribe are few in
number and naturally recluses, preferring to stay neutral in world affairs. Their
longevity has numbed them to the affairs of man, with the oldest Dragons even
walking alongside the goddess who created the world. The Dragon Laguz are split
into three main Tribes: Red Dragons, White Dragons, and Black Dragons. These
rare tribes may crossbreed, producing even rarer Pink, Grey, and Burgundy
Dragons. Regardless of color, a Black Dragon always rules the Dragon Tribes. All
Dragons possess a sigil on their foreheads denoting their Tribe.
Red Dragons are the most numerous of the Dragon Tribes. These warriors
boast near impenetrable scales and superhuman endurance, making a Red Dragon a
terrifying opponent.
White Dragons are beings of immense magical power whose Dragonfire
manifests as searing rays of light, making even the toughest of metals melt when
exposed to their power.
Black Dragons are some of the most powerful creatures in the mortal realm,
capable of leveling entire castles with their powerful Dragonfire. Their undisputed
power is only held in check by their cautious nature and scarce numbers. Consult
with the Game Master before selecting this Dragon Tribe as a Black Dragon is
67
usually of a noble bloodline, making them much more powerful than the other
Tribes.
The three Dragon Tribes differ in some stat adjustments and transformation
bonuses and will be separately listed in the appropriate sections. Pink, Grey, and
Burgundy crossbred Dragons freely select a Tribe of either of their parents colors.

Leveling Up
Through fierce combat and intelligent strategies, you gain experience points,
or EXP. Whenever you gain over 100 EXP, your cumulative EXP resets back to
zero and you gain a level. Any excess EXP you gain rolls over to your next level.
Gaining levels is how you become grow and become stronger in the Fire Emblem
series. You gain EXP for various actions as shown by the following table.

Using a Staff
Varies*
an objective
The experience you get from using a Staff varies on the type of staff you
use. The experience gain for each type of staff is listed In the Staves table in the
Item chapter. A promoted unit that engaged in battle with an unpromoted unit will
only receive half of the indicated EXP.
So which stats increase and which stats don't? Well, in the games, stat gains
were determined by growth rates, and after much tinkering, the best possible
representation of starting level values and growth rates are presented here. When
you level up, your base stat determines your growth rate, which is simply how
likely that stat is to receive a +1 upon leveling up. Having a high base stat value
means that that stat will have an easier time growing into a larger value than a
small Base Stat value.
To begin leveling, add 1 to your current level to signify your level up.
Then, roll 1d10 for each stat and compare your result to the value of your Base
Stat. If you roll under your Base Stat number or match it, that stat gains a +1 to
its Current Stat value. For your HP, you roll 1d10 to match or get a lower number
than your classs indicated HP Gain number.
71
Reclassing
A unit may decide to utilize an item called a Second Seal to undergo a process
called Reclassing. Through Reclassing, a unit can change their class while
retaining their previously possessed skills. This allows units to gain the skills of
another class or switch into a class they feel would better suit them. The rules for
Reclassing are as follows:
When a unit Reclasses, their class changes into the chosen class. Their Level
and current Experience do not change.
A first tier unit may only Reclass into another first tier class. A promoted
unit may only Reclass into another promoted class.
All Class Stat Adjustments the unit received are removed and replaced with
the Stat Adjustments of the class they are moving into. If switching into a
promoted class, the Class Stat Adjustments of the chosen base class relating
to the class the unit is moving into is used.
A unit loses its current weapon and magic proficiencies and gains the
proficiencies of the new class. If the classes share a proficiency, the unit
retains its weapon rank; otherwise, the new proficiencies begin at Rank E.
A unit retains the skills it possesses before it Reclasses and learns the skills
of the class they Reclass into at their appropriate levels.
72
Supports: The Bonds of Friendship

One of the best assets to have on the battlefield is a skilled ally to watch
your back. Through grueling journeys, units have the ability to grow closer on a
personal level, forging loves and friendships in the process. These bonds manifest
as Support Bonuses in combat, representing an allys assistance on the battlefield.
.
Every unit has an Affinity described in the Determining Base Stats
chapter. Your Affinity is the natural element your spiritual energy most aligns to.
Your units unique Affinity governs what passive bonuses you grant to your
closest allies and what bonuses they in turn grant to you.
To determine your characters Affinity, roll 1d8 and consult the following table.
Once determined, a characters Affinity cannot be changed in any way short of
direct Game Master Intervention.

Forging the Bond

A Support, once created, starts at Rank C and climbs to Rank A over time,
with the bonuses between units becoming more potent as the Support Rank rises.
To build a Support between two units, the two units must be adjacent to one
another for a certain amount of turns depending on their current Support Rank.
Every turn a unit spends next to another unit grants them a Support Point, which
upgrades their Support Rank. Consult the following table

more than 3 Supports in total. An example Support list of A, B, and C or B, C, and
C is fine, yet A, A, and B or C, B, B, are prohibited.
A Support Bonus can only rise in rank once per battle. When improving a
Support Bonuss rank, the two characters involved are highly encouraged to
roleplay the interaction, revealing character quirks, background information,
aspirations, or other character details through a two-way interaction.
74
Utilizing the Bond

When two units with a Support Rank of C or higher are within 3 spaces of
one another, both units gain a bonus to their stats corresponding to their

Affinity at any time.

Character Finalization
So, you've rolled your Base Stats, chose a class, and learned how to level up. You
must be itching to get on the battlefield already, eh? Well, before you get on the
battlefield, skim over this part for any final instructions applicable to your
character.
If you're aiming to make a character above level one, roll xd10 for each stat
with x equaling the number of levels past 1 you want. For example: if one were to
want to make a level 7 character, you would roll 6d10 for each stat with each roll
being compared to your Base Stats like a standard level up. An electronic dice
roller does wonders here, but feel free to do it manually if you like rolling dice.
Now on the character sheet, you might notice a few more stats that haven't been
mentioned yet. These are essential to combat, but aren't defined as stats. These
essential values are Rescue, Hit, Avoid, and Critical.
Rescue:
Equivalent to your Con score. Can be used to rescue units with a
smaller Con than yours. A Rescued unit can be carried by the Rescuer during their
movement and be placed back onto the field adjacent to the Rescuer as a standard
action. While holding a Rescued unit, the Rescuers Skill and Speed are halved.
Hit:
Your base attack accuracy with no weapon, terrain, or other bonuses
factored in. Calculated by (Skill x2) + Luck. . Your Hit is rounded to the nearest
number divisible by five (A Hit of 47 would round to 50 and so forth) to speed up
gameplay.
Avoid (Avo):
Your base agility and dodging capabilities. Calculated by
Speed+Luck. If you outspeed your opponent by having a Speed of four or
more, your Avoid is doubled! Like Hit, your Avo is rounded in the same
fashion in the interest of avoiding bogging down the game with excessive math.
78
Attack/Damage
The raw power behind your blows. Damage, which may also be called
Attack, is calculated by your Strength + the Might of your equipped weapon. If
utilizing a magical weapon that uses Mag or a tome of any variety, your Damage is
calculated by your Magic + the Might of your equipped weapon/tome. All
weaponry uses Strength to calculated damage unless explicitly stated or is a magic
tome.
Critical (Crit):
Your base chances of scoring a Critical Hit. When you score a Critical
Hit, your damage is TRIPLED. Yeah, you read that right. Your base Critical is
calculated by (Skill + Luck) / 2 plus any bonuses from weapons or other sources.
Crit Avoid (CrtAv)

Your passive defenses against a critical hit. This number is subtracted from
your opponents Critical during a fight. Your Crit Avoid is equal to your Luck
stat.
Inventory
A single character can hold five weapons or items. By default, you start with
one weapon of every p roficiency you have. Laguz start with a Laguz weapon of
the highest rank their Tribe grants them proficiency in and Manaketes begin with a
Dragonstone of their Tribe. Depending on your proficiency rank, you may get a
different type of starting weapon than other ranks. These given weapons cannot
have any special properties. If there are no standard weapons that match a unit's
proficiency, they are given standard weapons of the next lowest proficiency.
Starting with a different weapon that the unit is able to wield is at the discretion of
the GM, but don't beg! No one likes beggars and whiners!
79
Faceless Numbers: The Importance of Identity

Your unit is all ready to go. All of your stats and numbers are worked out,
your inventory is full of your trade tools, and you're anxious to get on the
battlefield.
But who are you? Why do you fight? Are you just a nameless rank and file
soldier living in the shadows of real heroes? Well don't be! Fire Emblem is famous
for a gargantuan selection of fun and loveable characters of all degrees, so giving
your unit some personality helps give them a defining feature. Maybe you're a
cunning noble who got swept up in elaborate schemes and ruthless warfare?
Maybe you're a small village kid who really likes traveling and meeting new
people? Or are you sticking around for the extra money to put food on the table?
Kids aren't cheap y'know!
Your personality and backstory help define your unit from the waves of
other soldiers and can create plenty of role-playing opportunities with your fellow
soldiers-at-arms. It may even help bring your character to life even more in the
midst of battle, where their backstories and preferences may determine your tactics
in combat. Don't be shy, be creative, and have fun with your character!
80
81
On the Battlefield
The sound of thunderous footsteps resonates from the hills. You look to your
squadron; some unable to cope with pressure, and some as steady as rock under the
impending waves of man and steel. The enemy comes into sight and your weapons
shakes violently. "Will this be my last battle? Am I going to...?" No, you mustn't
think like that. Your training will keep you safe. It has to. The thundering footsteps
turn into a fierce storm as the enemy charges you, weapons sharp and eyes blood
red. Your grip tightens. This is it; your moment of glory!
The following section will detail everything about the meat of Fire Emblem:
The Tides of War: combat and all associated battlefield mechanics and systems.
Stay attentive, as failure to master combat is a quick way to end up six feet under.
82
The Flow of Combat

Fire Emblem is a turn-based strategy series. The player (or in the case of
Fire Emblem: The Tides of War, the players) take turns maneuvering and
strategizing against one another in hopes of conquering the other side with as little
resources spent as possible. After all, what good is a victory when most of your
men die? And since there is no way to revive a lost character in Fire Emblem,
having a unit fall can turn the tide of battle in a flash.
Objectives
The most common objectives in the Fire Emblem series are usually the ones
that need the least explaining. Routing the enemy team means no survivors; for
whatever reason, the enemy team must fall, and fall hard. For when a less offensive
take on the battle is needed, Defending the designated target is optimal. This could
be an entrance into a sensitive area or a VIP of some sort. For when fighting is
unwise, a Reach Target objective is what you're most likely looking at. This could
be anything from sneaking into an encampment to escaping an unstable area.
If no one feels like being the Game Master, try pitting your armies against
one another! Two or more players can fight on a mutually agreed on battlefield to
see who has the sharpest tactical mind. While competitive and fun, keep in mind
that more players and larger armies make the game last longer!
Player and Enemy Phases

As Fire Emblem: The Tides of War aims to seamlessly transfer the world of
Fire Emblem into traditional pen and paper gaming, combat is not handled like
something along the lines of Dungeons and Dragons or Shadowrun. There's no
initiative for individual units and tracking turn orders. Combat is divided into
phases and shifts into the next phase when every unit on the selected team
completes their actions. The Player Phase is when the players get to act. Each unit
is able to take a Move Action, Standard Action, and Minor Action once per Player
Phase. These actions comprise a single set of actions for units. Some actions
discussed later are able to be performed freely within a unit's turn, but those will be
mentioned as they come along.
83
Once each unit either passes their actions or exhausts them, the next phase,
which is usually the Enemy Phase, begins. This is where any hostile units on the
map get to enact their turns using the same restrictions as every other unit. Players
must be careful of the enemy offensive or risk losing a teammate. After the Enemy
phase, the cycle returns to the Player Phase and the cycle continues. If an Objective
is sensitive to Turn count, like "Reach x in 6 turns", the beginning of the Player
Phase counts as adding one turn to the count.
Some other phases exist in the cycle, but might not be used depending on the
battle. The Ally Phase is when friendly units who aren't controlled by players get
to act. This phase follows the Player Phase. Unaligned units on the field act during
the Other Phase, which follows the Enemy Phase.
For an easy visual reference, the Phase Cycle goes as shown here:
Player Phase > Ally Phase > Enemy Phase > Other Phase > +1 Turn >Repeat
84
Lay of the Land: The Map

Before learning about Phases, Actions, and Combat, you should familiarize
yourself with the terrain featured in Fire Emblem: The Tides of War. There are
many different types of terrain and each one grants different bonuses depending on
what terrain you position yourself onto. Note that flying units receive no
penalties or bonuses from all terrain as they can fly over all terrain with no
move penalties.
Plains/Floor
The basic terrain type. Offers no special bonuses
Forest/Pillar (+1 Defense, +20 Avo, x2 Move to traverse)

Thick forestry or sturdy support pillars.
Fort (+2 Defense, +40 Avo, HP Regen 10% per turn)

A small bunker or outpost. Offers healing by spending a turn on it.
Mountain (+2 Defense, +30 Avo, x2 move to traverse)

Large hills and steep inclines. Cannot be entered by Mounted units.
Peak (+2 Defense, +40 Avo, x2 Move to traverse)

The summit of a large mountain. Requires Mountainwalk to enter.
Lake/Sea (+10 Avo. x2 Move to traverse)

Any body of water. Requires Waterwalk to traverse.
Desert/Sandy Beach (+5 Avo, x2 Move to traverse)

Harsh, sandy areas. Magical units are unaffected by the Move penalty.
Gate/Throne (+2 Defense, +40 Avo, Hp Regen 10% per turn)

A noble throne or a mighty gate. Usually guarded by a powerful enemy
85
Weather Effects
Sadly, not all battles are fought in nice weather. Nature can be very
unpredictable and can drastically change the battlefield depending on what the
weather patterns bring about. While not a direct influence on every battle, knowing
what could be ahead and how to react to the changing climate can be the different
between victory and defeat.
Rain and Snow

Rain or snow makes the ground hard to traverse and forces all units on the
map to move at half movement (rounded down). If attempting to walk across
terrain that requires additional movement to cross per space while rain or snow is
in effect, it takes four times the normal movement to traverse the terrain. Note that
while these effects may stack, a unit is allowed to move at least one space per turn
under these conditions. Entering a building or other enclosed structure allows a
unit to move at normal speed.
Fog of War
The more intimidating of the inclement weather, Fog of War blocks the
vision of your units, forcing them to proceed slowly into areas they cannot see into.
A unit within the fog of war can only see units within 3 spaces of it.
However, a unit who currently belongs to the Thief, Rogue, Assassin, Ninja, or
Elite Ninja classes may see 6 spaces away. Vision ranges can also be increased by
the use of the Torch item or the Torch staff.
Depending on what the Game Master wants, he may elect to use either light
fog or heavy fog. Light fog is the more common of the two types of fog and allows
players to see the entirety of the map as they would in normal weather conditions.
However, enemy units are not placed on the map until it comes into view of a
player units vision range. Heavy fog, also called darkness, is a truly challenging
weather condition to tackle as both the map and enemy units are not seen until it
comes into view of a player units vision range. Units walking through heavy fog
are near blind to the rest of the map, making walking into uncharted territory a
potentially deadly hazard.
86
Aspects of Combat
As mentioned, a unit gets to take a certain amount of actions during their
turn. For simplicity's sake, actions have been classified as Movement, Standard, or
Minor actions. Movement Actions are used for moving a unit into position for
their next action. Standard Actions are most major actions, such as attacking or
visiting a shop. Minor Actions are actions that are not too engaging, such as
trading an item, and as such can be completed within a short amount of time.
Movement (Movement Action)

A unit is allowed to move as many spaces on the game mat as
designated by their Move found in their class information block. Movement cannot
be performed after a Standard or Minor Action unless under a special circumstance
by a movement property such as Canto. Movement is also affected by terrain types.
There are also different types of Movement actions depending on your class.
Normal/Unspecified: No special properties.
Mounted: Usually greater distances, but cannot enter Mountain/Peak tiles
Flight: Can fly over any terrain, but do not gain bonuses from them as well
Waterwalk: Enables foot units to walk on water tiles. Affected by terrain
penalties.
Mountainwalk: Enables foot units to walk on Peak tiles and with no penalty
on Mountain tiles. Affected by terrain penalties.
Canto: A unit that performs may move the remainder of their movement
distance at the end of their turn if they have not used all of their movement.
Note that unless the unit possesses the Pass skill, a unit cannot move through
the tile of a hostile unit.
Attacking (Standard Action)

Use the equipped weapon to attack the enemy. Details on combat are
detailed in the section labeled Bearing Your Fangs: How to Fight.
87
Using Items (Standard)

Actions such as using a lock pick on a locked chest, utilizing a Staff, or
using a healing item fall under Standard Actions. Note that you can't attack and use
an item in the same turn, so weigh the pros and cons of each option before
committing!
Visiting (Standard Action)

Visiting a local home to gather information or browsing the wares of the
nearby armory.
Using an Active Skill (Standard Action)

Using a skill classified as an Active skill, such as Gamble or Special Dance.
Pair Up (Standard Action)

Move into an allied units space, moving along with their leading unit as
they move. Also initiates the Guard Stance detailed in the Dual System chapter.
Talking (Minor Action)

If you wish to speak to a unit of interest, it can be done with a minor action.
Note that talking to a unit can possibly influence their behavior in battle. Some
may become angry at you, or some may join you in your fight. Chat up a storm!
Trading (Minor Action)

Trading items to and from a comrade. This is only usable if the units are
adjacent to one another and unaffected by effects that prevent actions from being
taken (Sleep, Paralysis, etc).
Wait (Free Action)

Choosing to wait is manually ending your turn. You will automatically wait
after expending all other actions. For example, a unit could move its Movement,
talk to a teammate, and then proceed to attack a nearby enemy. After exhausting all
of their actions, they are forced to Wait until the next phase they are allowed to act.
88
89
Bearing Your Fangs: How to Fight

You've already chosen to attack your enemy, but how does one actually
attack? Well this is the section for showing how actual combat takes place in a neat
step-by-step process.
1) The Attacker moves into Range

You can't hit an opponent if you can't reach them! All weapons generally
follow these generalizations. Melee weapons can attack from one adjacent space,
bows attack from two spaces away (a gap between attacker and defender), and
tomes can attack from melee or range. There are always exceptions, like a Javelin
or the Bolting tome, so be sure to look at the weapon's range before charging in!
90
2) The Defender announces his Avoid

Just as it says, the defending unit announces his total Avoid (remembering to
round it as previously stated during Hit and Avoid calculations). This takes into
account their base Avoid, terrain, Weapon Trinity bonuses, and any other kind of
bonuses.
3) The Attacker reduces his total Hit by the Defender's total

Avoid.
The formula Total Hit-Total Avoid gives the attacker's accuracy. The
attacker rolls a d100, and if the rolled number is lower or equals it, the attack is
considered a success, or a Hit.
4) Check for a Critical Hit

The range of critical hits is smaller than your overall accuracy, but can be a
serious game changer when activated. When you roll a d100 for attacking, if your
roll falls under or matches (Your Critical - Defender's CrtAv), you score a
critical hit, or a crit. A critical hit does triple damage!
5) Check for a Skill activation

This applies to both units at once. If the Attacker has a combat skill, flip the
results of your d100 around. If you roll under or match the number set by
your skill's activation, it activates. For example, if one rolls a 49 on their attack
roll, their roll for skill activations would be a 94. If 94 fell under your activation
range, it'd activate. For more details on skill activations, see the Skills section on
page 62.
6) The attacker deals damage to the defender

Upon a successful Hit, the attacker deals damage to a unit, determined by
their Strength + the Might of their equipped weapon. If using a magical weapon
or a magical tome, it is instead Magic + the Might of the equipped
weapon/tome.
91
7) The Defender reduces damage by their Defense/Resistance

When receiving damage, take care to use the right defense stat to reduce
damage. Defense reduces physical damage from weapons and bows, and
Resistance reduces damage from magical attacks from tomes or magic weapons.
8) The Defender takes their Counterattack if possible

After receiving damage, the Defender makes an attack roll against the
Attacker. This does not happen if a unit is unable to counterattack. Such
situations include not being in range, having no weapons, or being under a Status
Effect.
9) A second attack is made if possible

If either the Attacker or the Defender has four or more Speed than the other
unit, they are allowed an additional attack! Roll an attack roll as normal.
10) Combat Ends

The combat cycle finishes and the attacker's turn ends.
92
And to compress combat into an easier to read list format for quick reference:
1. Move into range
2. Defender announces Avoid
3. Attacker's Hit is reduced by Defender's Avoid
4. Attacker makes a d100 attack roll and checks for a hit/critical hit
5. Check for any Skill activations
6. The Attacker deals Str + Might or Mag + Might damage
7. Defender reduces damage with Defense/Resistance as appropriate
8. Defender initiates counterattack if possible
9. Second attack by faster party is made
10.Combat Ends
Keep in mind that if either unit is reduced to 0 HP at any point in the cycle,
combat automatically ends and the unit is considered dead. The unit is removed
from the field and the current phase continues.
93
The Dual System: Attack /Guard

Stances
A battle is rarely a one versus one affair for soldiers as fierce encounters
rage on all around them. Many soldiers feel better fighting with a partner, allowing
them to take advantage of offensive openings or to protect one another from an
overpowering force. These fighting styles manifest in the Dual System, a group
fighting system that had its debut in Fire Emblem: Awakening as the Pair Up
system but has received major revisions for Fire Emblem: Fates.
94
Both stances have different mechanics for each unit involved in the stance.
In each stance, the corresponding mechanics will be matched to what will be
referred to as the Lead Unit, the unit that initiates battles or leads a Paired Up
formation, or the Support Unit, the backline unit that confers bonuses and
assistance to the Lead Unit.
The Attack Stance

The Attack Stances utilizes two units for offensive might. It is utilized by
two unpaired units in adjacent spaces with the unit initiating the attack becoming
the Lead Unit. Units in Attack Stance who initiate combat cancel out the Dual
Strikes of the defending target.
After the Lead Unit makes their attack as normal, the Support Unit is
allowed an attack immediately after, which is called a Dual Strike. Any damage
dealt by this attack only deals damage on a successful strike. Only one attack
from the Support Unit is allowed unless they wield a Brave Weapon or similar
item.
The Support Units normal weapon range is disregarded and will be able to
strike at any distance the Lead Unit can normally counterattack from.
The Support Unit may not activate attack-based skill (Astra, Lethality, etc)
but may still perform a Critical Hit. Conversely, the Support Units attack does not
activate defensive combat skills (Aegis, Pavise, etc) but are still affected by
passive skills (Swordbreaker, Bind, etc).
95
The Guard Stance

The Guard Stance utilizes two units fighting as a single unit that emphasizes
defense. A unit may use the Pair Up command to attach themselves to another unit.
The unit that initiated the Pair Up becomes the Support Unit and shares the space
of the unit it has paired with, who becomes the Lead Unit. The Support Unit moves
as the Lead Unit moves.
The Support Unit grants stat bonuses to the Lead Unit corresponding to the
Support Units Class Stat Adjustments from their first tier class with positive
values. For example, A Mercenary acting as support would grant +2 Skill and +2
Luck to their Lead Unit.
The bonuses granted by a Support Unit become stronger if the two units
share a Support Rank. If the units have a Support Rank, an additional +1 is granted
to the bonuses granted by the Support Unit for each Support Rank they possess For
example; two units with an A Rank would be an additional +3 to the stats indicated
by the Support Units first tier class in addition to the default bonuses. (ex A
Mercenary with an A Rank Support with the Lead Unit would grant +5 Skill and
+5 Speed to the Lead Unit).
When two units Pair Up, they share a Shield Gauge, which begins at zero
and caps at ten. Each attack by the Lead Unit or an enemy unit fills the Shield
Gauge by 2 points. When the Shield gauge fills to 10 points, the next incoming
attack will always be blocked, negating all damage to the Lead Unit. The Shield
Gauge resets after a block.
While lending itself to more advanced tactics, be wary that enemy units can
also utilize the Dual System. Consider your choices before you attempt to engage
a group of enemies as they may prove to be overwhelming due to the Dual System.
NOTE: The Dual System is only found in Fire Emblem: Fates and may be
undesirable to groups looking to play a more classic style of Fire Emblem. As
such, the Game Master can include or exclude the system at will to match the
groups desired aesthetics.
96
The Weapon Trinities

When attacking units, your choice of weapons can give you a slight edge in
battle against your opponent. For example, a Cavalier using an unwieldy lance has
a disadvantage against a Fighter's axe, but when they switch to the more nimble
Sword, the Cavalier gains the advantage against the Fighter.
For weapons, the Weapon Trinity is:
Swords are effective against Axes
Axes are effective against Lances
Lances are effective against Swords
Bows and Ballistae sit in a neutral slot in the middle of the trinity. They
neither gain nor grant advantage to any weapon type, but still do their bonus
damage to flying units.
There also exists a trinity for magical tomes.
Anima is effective against Light
Light is effective against Dark
Dark is effective against Anima
Note that staves are not included in the magical trinity as they function more as
items than weapons, but are still closely associated with magic users.
When a unit attacks another unit and one has advantage due to the weapon
trinity, the unit with advantage gets a +10 to Hit and the unit with disadvantage
takes a -10 to their Hit. The Swordsman's swift blade outmaneuvers the Warrior's
axe, granting the Swordsman +10 to Hit and imposing a -10 Hit penalty to the
Warrior. Try attacking lance users next time, Warrior!
97
The weapon triangle has further evolved in Fire Emblem: Fates. For those
wishing to use the new Weapon Trinity, it is listed below; otherwise, feel free to
utilize the classic Trinities.
Swords and Magic are effective against Axes and Bows
Axes and Bows are effective against Lances and Kunai
Lances and Kunai are effective against Swords and Magic
The Weapon Trinity and the Trinity of Magic of older fire Emblem titles are
now combined into a single Trinity, opening newer tactical options to strategists.
In Fire Emblem: The Tides of War, this new hybrid trinity further separates into
the normal Trinity of Magic.
Note that Staves still exist outside of the Trinity as they are not used in
combat.
98
99
Weapon Ranks and Increasing Ranks

In the Fire Emblem series, the more a unit fights with a particular weapon
type, the more advanced versions of that weapon they can utilize. If a unit
successfully lands a hit in combat, they gain 1 point for each hit that landed. These
points, or weapon experience (WEXP), go into the weapon proficiency of the
weapon you used in combat, and when you get enough points, your rank increases.
Raising your weapon rank is important in growing out of novice weapons and into
more effective armaments. The following table shows how many points are needed
to rank up at each level of proficiency.

Weapon Ranks of the Fates

Fire Emblem: Fates changes the pattern established by the previous entries
in the series. Being that only one game in the series has implemented this system,
Game Masters can choose to use the weapon ranking system of Fire Emblem:
Fates or continue to use the above system for weapon proficiencies.
A unit gains weapon experience as usual, gaining one point of WEXP per hit
by default. However, every class in Fire Emblem: Fates can only have preestablished maximum weapon proficiency ranks. This new system incentivizes
choosing a class with less weapon proficiencies by allowing them access to more
powerful weaponry a unit with more proficiencies may not have access to. The
following table lists every maximum weapon rank for each promoted class.
100
Note that classes that depend on Beaststone proficiency are not listed, as
well as any stone proficiency a class might possess (Dark Bloods, White Bloods).
If a unit may choose a proficiency upon promotion, the proficiencies that
were not selected are instead removed from the table for your unit. You do not
gain proficiency with the weapons you did not select upon promotion.

Weapons List
Seeing as how Fire Emblem is primarily focused on combat, it'd be kind of
hard to fight back armies without a weapon. The following pages will detail every
weapon currently implemented into Fire Emblem: The Tides of War.
103
Name: Name of the weapon.

Rank: The weapon rank required to wield the weapon.
Range (Rng): The weapon's range. Ranges of 1 mean the unit must be adjacent to
the target
Might (Mt): The weapon's destructive power. Added to a unit's Str/Mag to
determine their total Attack.
Hit: The weapon's innate accuracy. Added to a unit's base Hit
Critical (Crt): A weapon's innate ability to score critical hits. Added to a unit's
base Crit
Use: How many times the weapon can be used before it breaks
In Fire Emblem: Fates, weapon durability is removed in favor of limiting the
number of specialty weapons an army receives. If choosing to invoke this rule, a
Game Master and his players ignore this column. The Game Master is then
encouraged to make specialty weapons like Killer or Brave weaponry harder to
obtain.
Worth (Wrth): The price of buying this weapon from a vendor. A weapon sold at
any durability nets of its listed Worth.
Effect: Any additional effects a weapon might have.
If a weapon is listed as effective against something, the weapon is treated as
having the weapon trinity advantage against the target.
If a weapons is listed as Bonus vs against something, the weapons gains a
damage bonus equal to (2*Weapon's Mt) in addition to the normal damage of the
attack

Sword / Katana List

Any listed sword may be converted into a katana at the Game Masters
discretion. A katana passively grants its wielder +1 Speed, -1 Defense, and -1
Resistance as long as they continue to wield it.

Forging: Creating Custom Weapons

Units who have access to a skilled blacksmith may be able to forge a
customized weapon. Creating a specialty weapon does not run cheap, however, as
each individual alteration requires its own payment.
A weapon may be forged, increasing or decreasing certain aspects of the
weapon, as long as it fits the following criteria
1. The weapon is not an S Rank weapon
2. The weapon is not a Beaststone, Dragonstone, or Laguz Weapon
3. The weapon has a non-zero Worth
A weapon can receive 8 alterations in total. For example, you may choose to raise
Might by five intervals and Critical by three intervals, but no more than that. For
example, a Steel Sword is worth 600 gold. Forging it for +2 Might, +15 Hit, and
+3 Critical would cost ([1.5 + 3.0 + 0.5] * 600) = 3000 gold.

After forging, a player may alter the aesthetics or color of the weapon as
they desire. Forging a weapon allows a unit to possess a customized weapon that
may play to their strengths. For example, a Berserker may wield a forged Killer
Axe to maximize their critical hit potential. As long as players have the money and
the resources, forging weapons may prove to be worthwhile investments invaluable
assets.

Skills
Skills truly showcase how fearsome a single unit can be. Sages tap into the
depths of their arcane knowledge to split the skies and make the earth growl with
rage while Generals stand under the crashing waves of man and steel with
unwavering adamancy. Warriors display unmatched melee prowess through
powerful counterattacks and the crafty Summoners weave dark rituals to summon
the deceased to do their bidding. The swift Swordmaster's strokes can only be
described as a mighty cyclone of ravenous fangs tearing into flesh and stone alike.
Skill activation can turn the tide of battle in a flash, so knowing how skills
work and what they do can make or break a victory for you and your teammates.
124
Skill Activation
Skills fall under certain categories depending on their use.
Active Skills:
Skills that require a Standard Action to initiate
Combat Skills:
Effects that activate in combat, such as negating a defense or allowing
multiple attacks
Passive Skills
Skills that are always activated in and out of battle, such as a stat boosting
skill.
For a Passive skill, no rolls have to be made since they are always active. If
you have a Combat skill, however, your activation rate is dependent on your Skill
stat. Each combat skill has an activation rate; the higher the rate, the more often the
combat skill activates. Your activation rate varies by skill, but for this example,
we'll use a common activation rate of (Skill/2). If a unit with this skill were to
attack, each attack would have a (Skill/2) % chance of being skill activation.
To check when a skill activates, simply flip the results of your d100 attack
roll. If a unit rolled a 19 on their attack roll, their roll for activating their skill
would be 91. If the 91 fell under the unit's skill activation range. A unit's skill
activation rate is always counted backwards from 100, so if a skill has a 15%
chance to activate, one would need to roll an 85 or above to activate the skill. In
this case, 91 falls under the range of (100-15=85), so the skill would activate.

Class Skill List

While skills are normally learned through entering different classes, at the
GM's discretion, skills can be learned through manuals. These manuals would let a
unit learn a skill it doesn't normally have access to. There also a few skills that can
only be learned through manuals, as no class would learn them normally. Such
skills will be listed towards the end of the list in their own table.
The maximum amount of skills a unit can possess is five. Any skills learned
after that overwrites a chosen skill. Skill activation only occurs on a single
attack unless stated.
Name: Name of the skill
P/C/A: Whether the skill is a Passive (P) skill, Combat (C) skill, or an Activated
(A) skill you choose to use out of combat. Activated skills are classified as
Standard actions unless noted.
Class: Indicates classes that learn this skill naturally
%: The formula for the skill's activation percentage. Remember that skills are
rolled backwards from 100, so subtract the number you obtain through the formula
from 100 to learn the skill's range.
Effect: Anything from what the skill does in battle, the passive effect it grants, or
the effect it has once it is manually activated

*Footnotes on Summon
Summon is a standard action that conjures a phantom skeleton under your
control. It acts like a regular unit, but does not gain EXP and lasts until destroyed
in battle or until combat ends. A Summoner can summon (Current Skill/4)
Phantoms per skirmish. Phantoms have 14 Str, 30 Base Hit, and wield different
weapons depending on a d4 roll. All Phantoms vanish once damaged.

A phantom that attacks or kills an enemy unit grants its Summoner 1/2 of the
EXP it would have normally gained from combat.
**Footnotes on Copycat Puppet
Creating a copycat puppet requires a standard action. It is conjured in a
space adjacent to you and physically resembles the target, save for wispy strands of
blue string that form a ghostly connection with the Puppeteer. You can create a
copycat of yourself or any allied unit but may only have one copycat puppet
summoned at any time. The rules for a copycat puppet are as follows
1. The copycat gains the stats, level, skills, current and maximum Hit Points,
and inventory of the targeted unit
2. The copycat and the original unit share Hit Points. If one were to gain or
lose HP, the other does as well. Additionally, the copycat does not gain
experience and cannot level up
3. The copycat cannot utilize any aura-like skills that passively affect units
around them but use activation auras like the Rally skills. Additionally, the
copycat cannot use the Revitalize skill.

Personal Skill List

A Personal Skill is a skill a unit possesses naturally, usually stemming off of
a talent, a quirk or a personality trait of some kind your character as learned to
utilize in combat. Upon character generation, a unit chooses a single Personal Skill
to keep throughout their lifetime. These skills cannot be unequipped or overwritten
by any other skill as they are a major aspect of your character. While one is freely
chosen upon character generation, players are highly encouraged to select a
Personal Skill that reflects the individuality of their created character or to choose
one at random.
Besides being unable to unequip or override them, Personal Skills follow the
same rules as Class Skills.

Gamemaster Notes
This section is for the Gamemaster, the one who sets out the adventure and
controls the world around the heroes. Those uninterested in running the game can
ignore this section.
As the Gamemaster, it's your job to lay out the world and the people in it for
your players to explore and, of course, fight in. Having played a Fire Emblem
game before will greatly increase your insight as to how to balance encounters and
other aspects of the game, but you can make do without previous experience with
the games. Here are some tips for GMs of all experience levels to try out in their
games.
1) Keep the population under control!

Fire Emblem: The Tides of War is designed for the average group size of 5
players and so that every player controls a single unit and face off against 11-16
enemies on average. If your group wants a smaller scaled game, then one active
character per player with opportunities to switch to back up characters will be fine,
but for those craving large scale tactics, try giving control of two or three units per
players and bumping up the enemy count to an average of 16-25. Keep in mind
that the more enemies that are on the field, the individual strength of each unit
should be lessened. Fighting 25 boss leveled enemies just isn't fair! On the other
hand, 8 paper-thin enemies won't be a challenge. Find a balance!
2) Combat too much? Simplify!

The default mechanics in Fire Emblem: The Tides of War are set for those
who want to experience the Fire Emblem games' deadly mechanics for themselves
in pen and paper form, but that doesn't mean that combat can't be modified to suit
your needs. If combat seems a bit too bloated or long-winded for your tastes, try
ignoring mechanics like terrain and weapon ranks until relevant, reducing the
number of enemies, weaken existing enemies, or removing minor mechanics like
CrtAvid. Tweak and prod at the game until you and your group find something that
you all enjoy.
148
3) Keep it harsh but fair!

Players like to be challenged, but not unfairly. On average, a standard player
unit should be able to have a fairly high chance of survival against a single enemy,
but two units at a time should be something to keep an eye out for. Squad-based
tactics should be relied on by players, so lone wolves don't fair too well against a
group of two or three enemies at a time without a terrain advantage.
Keep the reinforcements under control as well. I've learned that it's easy to go
overboard with extra enemy units, so find the right balance between fair and
threatening..
4) Don't leave the players high and dry!

Item and equipment management should be a priority for the players, so give
them just enough to keep going for a few battles until they can find chests or
enemies to loot or a local armory to buy cheap weapons from.
5) Stumped on the storyline? Try bandits!

Seriously! Anyone who has played a Fire Emblem game before knows how
much the writers love throwing out bandits and stragglers from enemy armies
around like candy. At this point, bandits are a Fire Emblem staple, so don't be
afraid to throw them out when you need to stall for time on the storyline. If humans
aren't your thing in your setting, read the next tip.
6) Try out monsters!

For the fans of Awakening and Sacred Stones, monster classes can be easily
recreated either in great depth of on the fly. If you're interested in using monsters
for your campaign, here are some tips for quickly and easily reskinning enemy
units into monster units:
Reskin Soldiers into Bonewalkers with different weapons for diversity!

Make a Tarvos out of a Cavalier with an axe and beefed up Strength!
Turn a Fighter into a Revenant and refluff his axe into deadly claws!
Convert a Druid into a Gorgon with a long range Stone Gaze spell that
petrifies!
149
The stats of monsters should be a point or two higher than the standard enemy
you're basing the class off of to reflect their deadlier nature. For larger monsters
like dragons, starting from scratch would be better than converting an existing
class. Keep it harsh but fair!
7) Keep enemy stat blocks simple!

You're going to be keeping track of a small army worth of units and multiple
types of each unit every battle, so keep your stat blocks simple and easy to read.
Units should be of equal or lesser power than a player unless they are a boss unit,
in which case they should overpower them. For instance, here's an example stat
block for a level 1 enemy Cavalier as an example.
Cavalier
HP: 22
Hit: 80
Avo: 15
Atk: Iron Sword 12 / Iron Lance 14
Def/Res: 5/2
Speed: 7
See? It's easy to refer to and easy to keep track of. I recommend using a single
stat block for each enemy of a single class, as making eight different blocks with
eight sets of numbers for your eight Cavaliers will get tiring after a while.
Speaking of numbers...
8) Don't be afraid to fudge numbers a little!

If your player's General would have left the enemy at 2 HP after an attack,
don't be afraid to just kill the enemy off in the interest of saving time. However, if
the General left him at 2 HP on purpose for a teammate to gain EXP or is a boss
unit, then don't jump the gun there. Play it by ear and move around numbers if it
means saving time or making things more dramatic

Credits
Personal thanks go out to:
Nintendo and Intelligent Systems for making a great video game series
My group for helping me play test and for helping me flesh out concepts
4chan's /tg/ board for bringing up the idea of a Fire Emblem pen and paper game to
me. I know there's another system out there but multiple systems mean more ways
to enjoy Fire Emblem.
Random anon from 4chan's /tg/ board for suggesting Only War's method for skill
activations. Seriously, thank you.
And myself for actually finishing a project even though it took a few tries
Fire Emblem: The Tides of War was not meant for profit, so if you bought this
rulebook I suggest getting your money back.
If you have any experiences with the game you'd like to share or if you see any
errors within the rulebook, feel free to contact me at Obelion13@yahoo.com or on
my blog at www.obelion13.wordpress.com. I check my blog more often, so I'd
start there on the "Comments" page.
I hope you enjoy the game as much as I had making it.
-John "Obelion13" Frey
