I, too, shall try my hand at piracy.

---

Class: Pirate
"Ruthless plunderer, most comfortable on the open seas."

Weapons: Sword, Gun, Axe
Shields: No
Helmet: Hats, Mage Hats
Armor: Light Armor, Vests (not robes)
Accessory: Yes
Innates: Equip Sword, Equip Gun

Skillset: Pillage -["Daring display of thievery and destruction"]

---

Skill: Powder Burn
MP: 0
CT: Now
Range: 1-2
Gun Only

"Using an up-close-and-personal shot on the enemy, damage is increased slightly and has a chance at blinding the foe due to the flame/smoke clouds released." Damage = PA*(7~9) + Blind (Brave%)
Can be guarded with shields.

Skill: Shipshape
MP: 0
CT: Now
Range: Self

"With sturdy sea legs, all actions become a bit easier." Bestows Haste on the user and, if Steal is the second skillset, chances of success increase by 15% (trigger: Brave%). If Sword is equipped, WP +1 for rest of battle (or until weapon is changed out). Can only be used once per battle, even through resurrection (applies to all pirates).

Skill: Cannonfire
MP: 10
CT: Now
Target: 1
Range: Gun
Gun Only

"Magical bullets allow for heavy gunplay on the field of battle." The gun's next shot hits with 100% accuracy and inflicts Don't Move, Slow, or nothing (trigger: Faith%). Damage is multiplied 1.5x, but skill can only be used once per five turns.

Skill: Parry
MP: 0
CT: Now
Target: 1
Range: Sword
Sword only

"Not all pirates are simple rogues; those who master swordsplay are destined for close-range success in the fray. A pirate can concentrate for very long periods of time." Guards against all physical sword attacks until a weapon of different sort is used, at which time that attack hits 100%. Can only be used once per battle. Speed -2 while in use. If pirate attacks after using Parry, Parry's effects cease (Speed defaults).

Skill: Filth
MP: 10
CT: Now
Target: 1
Range: 3

"Not all filth is stuck to the sailor; some comes from within him. Using a foul mouth to invoke anger in the foes, the pirate eases himself to a more advantageous position in battle." Inflicts Berserk on one enemy (trigger: 35 + (Brave/2)% chance).

Skill: Guiding Star
MP: 20
CT: Now
Target: Self
Range: 1

"The bright North Star provides hope for the battle to be in the allies' favor." Pirate's HP is refilled by 20% of Max HP and his PA +1. Skill can be used thrice per battle. If Pirate is in or alongside a water panel, he gains Regen or Shell status also.

Skill: Complete Defense
MP: All
CT: Now
Target: Self
Range: 1
Axe only

"Attacking isn't the only way to win a battle; defense is a great way to stall unfavorable outcomes." Can only be used when there are less than three living units on the field. The warrior pirate's Attack/Pillage commands become unusable for ten turns, but he gains auto-Protect and acts as though he has 'Weapon Guard' on. Ally units who fall while in this state are thrown a phoenix down (if some are in inventory) automatically, regardless of CT. After tenth turn, user is disarmed and axe is put back into inventory (20% chance of it breaking).

Skill: Wiles
MP: 0
CT: Now
Target: Self
Range: 1

"Incredibly crafty and dexterous, the pirate focuses on the defensive aspect for but a moment." Class evasion +15% for rest of battle, PA -1. If the next physical attack is from a ranged weapon, it misses.

Skill: Appropriate
MP: 30
CT: Now
Target: Enemy
Range: 1

"The true spirit of the pirate is shown when his sleight of hand brings back spoils." Causes (PA^2) damage and has 10% of stealing equipped item from target. If attack misses (success: Faith%), unit suffers morale deficiency: PA -1, MA -1.

Skill: Nameless Dance
MP: 0
CT: 15
Target: All Enemies
Range: Global

"While onboard the ship, dancing is one of the sources of entertainment. By using a series of jigs, the pirate can bewilder its foe, using their fear and odd looks to play into his hand." Causes Darkness, Sleep, Poison, Slow, Frog, Don't Move, and Don't Act (success: 10%) on all enemy units on the field. One unit can be inflicted with one status effect per turn. If kept to his own devices, the pirate speeds up his dance -> +2 CT per successive turn (capped at 40 CT).

Skill: Shatterslug
MP: 0
CT: Now
Range: Gun
Target: Rock structures
Gun Only

"A smart pirate knows when to play the land against his foes. By shooting the area around him, he can impede the enemy's path...and maybe his own in the process." The pirate targets an area associated with the "Rock" type and destroys it and any adjacent panels. The "rock" spaces then become darkness (untraversable) and the rock debris moves one space in every direction, including diagonally. The panels where the debris lands then becomes "Rock" types. The resulting "H" (height) is ((Height of initial target panel - height of executor)/2). If pirate is higher than the target panel, debris is turned to dust and where the debris would fall remains its own panel type.

Basic example:

Code

D = Darkness
X Rock panels
             X
X     ->    XDX
             X

---

Reaction: Reload
Gun only

"Upon being hit with a close-range weapon, the pirate schemes and puts more powder in his gun for more powerful shots." Upon successful enemy attack, PA +1 (cap: +5). If pirate shoots gun and it misses or is deflected, PA defaults.

Reaction: Ricochet
Sword only

"Fleet-footed pirates can use their swords as deflection devices as well as tools of death." Ranged weapon units (guns, bows, crossbows; not books, harps) that attack the pirate with this skill on suffer a 75% accuracy penalty; if shot misses, the bolt or bullet fired acts as though it was deflected (like magic in "Reflect" status) and passes into a different direction. Unsuspecting units that are hit (ally/enemy) are inflicted with Death Sentence due to the mortal wound incurred. Allies hit make the pirate's Brave -10; enemies make the pirate's Brave +10, PA +2 (no max cap). Shield and class evasion are not factored in while Ricochet is on the user.

---

Support: Elevator

Units attacking from a height below the pirate suffer -1 PA/WA (temporary) penalties and if their attacks succeed, are knocked back up to three spaces when applicable.

Support: Brethren Band

Any allied Pirate, Knight, Squire, or Geomancer gains +5 Brave per applicable unit and +2 PA when entering battle with the user of this support ability. This passive ability does not stack and the effects are mostly temporary (+1 permanent brave per battle).

---

Movement: Skipper Shoes

"Rainwear helps an agile seaman keep footing in any weather." User suffers no movement penalties in water; in fact, his range extends by (Move*1.5), rounded up.

Movement: Earthen Storehouse

"Any pirate up to snuff with his trade wouldn't get his hand caught in any treasure's trap." A pirate moving over a trap panel that has a treasure beneath it disarms the trap. Any treasure(s) that are beneath are added to the inventory and the trap panel disappears for rest of battle.

Quote (Ckaos @ 28th May 2005 17:00)

Wow these are some pretty interesting classes, theyre' is only one problem with most of them, they are way too powerful,

after reading through mosta the entries in here I TOTALLY agree with that statement.
but man, I have gotta give props to whoever came up with this thread. I remember wanting to create my own after my first playthru of FFT. I jus found this website and this forum the other night, and I'm hooked!
don't know if anyone did this already, but I thought I'd give my take of what I thought a Heavenly Knight (Balbanes) should be. I was kind of inspired by Elmdor's Arc Knight class and I love the Samurai class.

HEAVENLY KNIGHT

Prerequisite: Lv. 8 Squire, Lv. 8 Knight, Lv. 8 Monk, Lv. 8 Lancer, Lv. 8 Samurai
Weapon: Katana, Spear, Sword
Can use shield.
Helmet: Armored Helmet
Armor: Armor, Robe

The highest rank a knight can achieve. Known to overcome impossible odds, he strikes fear in the hearts of his enemies. Always fights with 'Honor'.
Pure Spirit-ability

Move: 5
Jump: 4
Physical Evasion Rate: 30%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bizen Boat
Releases spirit of the katana. Ghost's whisper causes MP damage.
JP: 520
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 3, Vertical 3 enemy

Murasame
Releases spirit of the katana. Released spirit's tears restore HP.
JP: 680
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 3, Vertical 3 ally

Kiyomori
Releases spirit of the katana. Spiritual essence engulfs allies in a protective veil.
JP: 750
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 3, Vertical 3 ally
Add: Protect, Shell

Kikuichimoji
Releases spirit of the katana. Vengeful spirit charges the enemy in rage.
JP: 1320
Speed: Now
Range: 4 directions
Effect: 8, Vertical 3 enemy

Masamune
Releases spirit of the katana. Benevolent spirits enhance the strength and agility of allies.
JP: 1110
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 3, Vertical 3 ally
Add: Regen, Haste

Chirijiraden
Releases spirit of the katana. Spirits become blue flame and attack living beings.
JP: 1640
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 3, Vertical 3 enemy

Remedy (not to be confused with the item of the same name)
Recovers abnormal status by emitting the yin spirit.
JP: 600
Speed: Now
Range: 1
Effect: 1
Cancel: Petrify, Darkness, Confusion, Silence, Oil, Frog, Poison, Sleep

Life
Calls back dead units with a prayer.
JP: 875
Speed: Now
Range: 1
Effect: 1
Cancel: Dead
[Revives dead unit, and restores full HP.]

Mercy
Allows enemy to live, dismissing them from battle.
JP: 100
Speed: Now
Range: 3
Effect: 1
NOTE: If successful, the Heavenly Knight receives a 300 JP bonus and a 50 EXP bonus for that turn. An extra incentive to use Mercy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The Heavenly Knight does not have reaction abilities]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Support Abilities:

Pure Spirit
Immune to all Holy Sword, Dark Sword, and Mighty Sword techniques.
JP: 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The Heavenly Knight does not have movement abilities]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments:

With the exception of 'Mercy', all 'Honor' abilities are 100% effective. Katanas will never break when using the Samurai abilities. Mercy's effectiveness depends on the following equation:
[character's HP%] - [enemy's HP%] + [character's brave - enemy's brave]
In other words, Mercy should be used on enemies who are almost dead. If successful it will dismiss them from the battle, so they can't be revived.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attribute Growth:

Key:
HP, MP, Speed, AtPw, MgPw: The modifications to the basic attributes
of the character when changing to this job. Of course, they will only
be effective as long as he/she stays in that job.
HP: 120%
MP: 30%
Speed: 100%
AtPw: 140%
MgPw: 170%
He comes stock with a very high magic power b/c DrawOut is based on MgPw and not AtPw. b/c of this all of the DrawOut techniques cost more JP b/c they never break katanas (Kiyomori and Masamune cost 1.5x) and are significantly more powerful than a normal Samurai's (all others cost twice as much).


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know Sniper has been done a couple times on here but I had a whole buncha ideas which weren't really mentioned yet.

Key:
WP = Weapon Power
Br = Brave
CSp = Character's Speed
ESp = Enemy's Speed
CHt = Character's Height
EHt = Enemy's Height

NOTE: all final damage/accuracy calculations will round down to nearest 1

first of all, the sniper needs his own special type of weapon, the rifle. this was mentioned by someone else. well I sat there and thought about what a rifle should be like in FFT and came up with some ideas. a rifle's range would be from 4-12. a rifle's damage and accuracy would come from these formulas:
damage = [1.5 * WP * (Br/10)] + (Sniper Job Lvl)
accuracy = (Br/2) + (CSp - ESp) + (hit% as an Archer) + [10 * (CHt - EHt)]
NOTE: the (Br/10) in the damage calculation rounds down to nearest 1. Rifle accuracy ignores enemy evade. Accuracy is 100% for any targets within 6. You can still do the crossbow/bow/gun trick and hit targets within the minimum range by lining them up. Rifle damage ignores zodiac sign compatibility.
The rifles I've come up with:
"SPENCER RIFLE"
WP: 15
"MAUSER RIFLE"
WP: 17
"HATHCOCK"
WP: 22
now that that's taken care of, onto the Sniper himself.


SNIPER

Prerequisite: Lv. 8 Archer, Lv. 8 Geomancer, Lv. 8 Ninja
Weapon: Rifle (requires both hands)
Cannot use shield.
Helmet: Hats
Armor: Clothes

A specialist in stealth and the rifle. He uses 'Marksmanship' to attack enemies from long distances.

Move: 5
Jump: 3
Physical Evasion Rate: 10%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marksmanship
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camouflage
Blends in with the environment in order to move to a better position undetected.
JP: 300
MP: 8
Speed: Now
Range: Auto
Effect: 1
Add: Transparent
NOTE: Will have 100% accuracy if 5 or more spaces away from an enemy. Will have 50% accuracy if 3 or 4 spaces away from an enemy. Will never work if 2 or less spaces from an enemy.

Tranquilizer
Dart filled with a sleep inducing chemical.
JP: 200
Speed: Now
Range: 12
Effect: 1
Add: Sleep, Slow
NOTE: Accuracy of a normal rifle shot. Status effects can be negated by equipment/accessories.

Aim
Takes position and spots the target. Is very vulnerable to any enemy attack.
JP: 400
Speed: 1 turn
Range: Auto
Effect: 1
Add: Aim
NOTE: The next shot taken will be 100% accurate and do 10% more damage. If the sniper shoots, moves before he shoots, is afflicted with a positive or negative status ailment, cured, damaged, etc, he will lose the 'Aim' status. In Aim status the Sniper's evade is halved and any damage he receives will be doubled.

Perfect Shot
Shot aimed to mortally wound the enemy.
JP: 1200
Speed: Now
Range: 12
Effect: 1
Add: Dead
NOTE: Perfect shot can ONLY be used from the Aim status. It multiplies sniper damage by 2.3. It also has 25% chance of death (can be negated by equipment/accessories). Perfect shot's accuracy is determined ONLY (overrides all other rules mentioned) by this formula:
accuracy = [100 + (Sniper Job Lvl)] - (37 + ESp) + [10 * (CHt - EHt)]

-Wiegraf Folles

Hello everyone. As this is my first post here in CoN, I'd like to preface it with "you guys rock." I just spent a couple hours looking over all the classes presented in this thread, and I must say some of them are very well-designed and impressive. Shotgunnova and Hamedo, while not the only two who created some excellently thought-out classes, inspired me to try my hand at posting in this wonderful thread.

I have to admit, I don't have a class ready at the moment, but in an effort (most likely in vain) to make myself not look like a fool, I will post one or two when they are acceptably balanced out.

First off, welcome to CoN!

Personally, I'd say don't worry about balance just yet, unless you see something that you think needs fixing before you post it. You'll get plenty of feedback, I'm sure, which will hopefully help you balance it out. That'd be my approach, anyway.

I appreciate the comments. The postings of Shotgunnova are actually what inspired a good deal of the classes I came up with that I am most proud of, for instance my take on the Gunslinger class. Others were inspired by movies and books I've read (such as the Waylander series).

Don't worry about making one that is too overpowered. Just make what youre creative juices tell you to make. As you go on and think of more, try to constrain them more to the confines of the game and make them more "balanced", but definitely don't limit yourself when you first start out. Good luck, mate! I'm anxious to see what classes we will be reading soon from you. Welcome to the Caves!

That's my job class. If I forgot anything, blah.

AtmaDragoon, I don't know if you've been checking the topic recently, but here's a set of Gameshark codes that ought to turn a character into your Rememberancer. For sake of coding ease, the person to be the Rememberancer needs to be both the third person in your party roster in the menu, and the third person placed in battle (in a Right to Left, Bottom to Top orientation - confusing, I know, but I can't explain it any better). Also, again for ease (I'm rather limited, time wise, at the moment), the character will start as having mastered the class, and the alterations won't have an effect outside of battle (other than making the character master his or her base class).

Character #3 is a "Rememberancer"

80192988 281B Ally 3 job name
8019298A 2830
8019298C 2530
8019298E 3528
80192990 3124
80192992 2826
80192994 FE35

3019285E 009B 'Act' menu command 1 modifier.

8005819E FFFF Abilities learnt: Squire / base class
300581A0 00FF

300659BA 0092 Skillset Modifiers

300659BF 00A7
300659C0 009A
300659C1 00A5

Given more time, I might be able to come up with an alternative setup where Rememberancer replaces the base class of the character in question. You'd still have to have the Gameshark on to keep the class name and necessary modifiers, unfortunately, but it would be more inclusive (meaning it would actually set the class' equippable items), wouldn't require you to have mastered the class right away, and if you seperate the Base Class change code from the rest (allowing you to turn that off while the rest are on), you'd be able to change jobs while the codes were on.

Edit

Hold off on using these codes for a while, unless the person you're using them on has a longer list of commands in their base class than your typical generic. Otherwise, everything after the Squire skills won't appear.

Oh, wow! This...this is awesome, Sunnok! I may just have to go get a gameshark now.

Hmmm...Feeling inspired now. Let me see if I can't come up with some other new class, that's actually new, and edit it in here...

Edit: Okay, here's what I came up with. The idea struck me and I ran with it, so...

JP: 350, Range: 4, Effect: 2, Vertical: 2, Speed: Now, Add: Charm

Revert – The Retainer tampers with his own spirit, bringing his existence back to the realm of the fully living until for a time.
JP: 150, Range: Self, Effect: 1, Vertical: n/a, Speed: Now, Cancel: Undead

Purgatory – The Retainer summons the spirit of stasis and paralysis, tearing at spirit and mind with tendrils of weird energy. Causes MP damage.
JP: 1,500, Range: 4, Effect: 4, Vertical: 6, Speed: 14, MP: 60, Add: Stop, Undead, Don’t Act, Don’t Move

Bright light, shine down on bloody impurity! Hol...Pearl??

That's an awesome class, Atma. I'd definitely like to see it in play. I'd try to Gameshark it in, but the statuses the abilities inflict would be difficult, if not impossible, to get right with the tools I have.

That said, my rendition of your Rememberancer has encountered some serious flaws so far. It seems to work okay if the character who is turned into a Rememberancer is a monster (I discovered this sheerly by accident - stupid Porkies breeding ), but so far I haven't been able to get it to work properly on a human. I'll keep working, and let you know when I get it (because I will get it ).

I should ask, though - do you own a cheat device, and if so, what kind of device is it? I ask because it may be possible for me to convert the codes to work with the appropriate device, once I've got them right.

Thanks! I was kinda worried it would be either only narrowly useful, what with it's reliance on causing undead status, or way too powerful from equipping armor and such. But yeah, I wasn't really considering FFT-translatability; it's a fun thought though, eh?

Wow, that's...really funny. Almost makes sense from an 8-Bit perspective, but still. *Imagines a morbol using MBarrier*

Well, I do have a Game Genie...for, uh, NES...but that's it. >_>

However, that'll be a moot point eventually. I mean, what with you putting so much work into making the Remembrancer a reality, it's the least I can do to get a way to employ it. A Woodman Remembrancer wouldn't be so bad...

*Imagines a morbol using MBarrier*

Try a Porky using Throw Stone. I don't really know how to describe the animation it used, but suffice to say it was too fast to follow.

Out of Meliadoul, Agrias, Orlandu, and generic knights, which would you prefer to turn into Rememberancers? Using one of those classes as a base would greatly reduce the number of codes needed to make the changes.

Alternatively, if you want something you can theoretically acquire early in the game, and that you'll never see the enemy using, I could alter one of the Bard/Dancer, Calculator, or Mime skillsets to become the Rememberancer. It wouldn't have the job's name, necessarily, but it'd have the right skillset.

Of the easier-to-make-Remembrancer classes, I'd have to go with generic knight. And in the case of the theoretically-possible ones, I guess mime...although personally, I'm a huge Squire fan, and I had kind of envisioned it as a base class. Far be it from me to make your job any harder though -- I will be happy with whatever will get me a humanoid one.

And just to keep the spirit of the thread going...

Job: Synchromancer – One who believes in the universal manifestation of spirit and seeks to justify each instance of it. Uses Empathy to discern the nature of objects.
Equip: All but katanas
Inherent: Equip Change

Causes HP damage with swords, knight swords, bows, crossbows, knives, hammers, axes, ninja swords, spears, non-magic guns; causes MP damage with sticks, staves, rods, dictionaries, harps, bags, fabrics, magic guns.
JP: 850, Range: Auto, Effect: 3, Vertical: 3, Speed: Now, Add: effect of weapon

Shield Empathy – The Synchromancer focuses on his equipped shield, resonating his soul with its spirit. Increases evasion.
JP: 300, Range: Auto, Effect: 3, Vertical: 3, Speed: Now, Add: effect of shield

Helmet Empathy – The Synchromancer focuses on his equipped headwear, resonating his soul with its spirit. Heals MP.

JP: 500, Cancel: Geomancy

None

(Alternately, I suppose it might be prudent to divide up the weapons into seperate abilities a la ninja, and also helmets into helmet/mage hat/hat, armor into armor/robe/clothes, and accessory into gloves/boots/rings/mantles/perfumes/etc...but I don't wanna type all that out just now. )

--------------------

Bright light, shine down on bloody impurity! Hol...Pearl??

Squire would be easy to do, too, but bear in mind that changes to generic classes will affect every character you come across that uses that class (Exception: alterations to the squire class will not affect Ramza, Delita, or Algus, as they actually use a completely different skillset).

The advantage to altering a pre-existing generic class is that you can change into and out of the job whenever you want. This added versatility, however, makes "naming" the class a lot more difficult. For the time being, I'll just create Rememberancer codes for Squires, and if I learn how to make conditional codes, I'll see what I can do about the name.

Code

Squires become Rememberancers
30061EA1 009C
30061EA2 0000       Equipable Items
30061EA3 0001

30061EB0 0004       Jump Value

30064B18 00D4
30064B19 00A7
30064B1A 009A       Skillset Modifications
30064B1B 00A5
30064B1C 00A4

Things these codes don't do/possible flaws:
- Ramza, Delita, and Algus are unaffected.
- MBarrier and Deathspell2 have a JP cost of 0.
- Ultima, being Ultima, can only be learned by surviving being hit by it.
- The job still appears as Squire, and the skillset still appears as "Basic Skill".

This has been tested, and other than the flaws I mentioned, it appears to be in working order.

As it stands, that is an excellent set of codes. Fighting other Remembrancers would certainly make for an interesting situation [Edit: besides which, they're not too common later, if I remember correctly]; I'd hold off buying MBarrier/Deathspell 2 until the battle w/ Ovelia in chapter 2 anyhow; I can wait for Ultima too (I've gotten real used to that ). And the inability to change the names, though unfortunate, is the frosting on the proverbial cake -- having an actual, mechanically funcioning Remembrancer is far and away the most important feature.

That said, unless everyone else is interested in these proceedings, perhaps we ought to take this particular discussion to PM? Otherwise I'mma have to keep coming up with new classes...like I will attempt to in the next 48 hours for this post...

Edit: Alright, so here's number three. Hope it's interesting.

Job: Transmogrifier – A wizard who effects bizarre modifications to the world around him through the synthesis of physiology and magonomics. Uses Mutate to combine living elements into one form.
Equip: Sticks, Staves, Rods, Books, Robes, Mage Hats

Move: 3, Jump: 2, Speed: 6, Evade: 0

Skillset: Mutate – Transmogrifier job command. Physical anatomy and magic structure are fused together to cause a unique transformation.

Action Skills:
Avian Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a chocobo or juravis.
JP: 350, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Beast Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a panther or behemoth.
JP: 500, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Evil Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a skeleton, ghoul, or Lucavi demon.
JP: 800, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Humanoid Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a goblin, squid demon, or bull demon.
JP: 250, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Odd Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a bomb, flotiball, or morbol.
JP: 650, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Peaceful Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of an uribo or dryad.
JP: 300, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Serpent Mutation – Target is fused with the essence of a dragon or hyudra.
JP: 800, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 50, Add: Transmogrified

Replicate – The Transmogrifier uses the natural elements available in lieu of a living target, creating a monster golem. Starts at half the Transmogrifier’s level. Can only be used when there are less than the maximum participants in the Transmogrifier’s party.
JP: 750, Range: 3, Effect: 1, Vertical: N/A, Speed: 12, MP: 50

Reaction Skills:
None

Support Skills:
Omega Strain – The Transmogrifier has developed his ability and knowledge to the point where he can mix the best traits of any one specie into a single mutation. He is able to choose which type of monster will be fused, and the target will gain access to all monster abilities from all three levels of that specie. Raises the initial level of replicated monsters to 3/4 the Transmogrifier’s. Becomes inherent once purchased, can be set to the support slot if the Transmogrifier changes to another class.
JP: 1,500

Movement Skills:
None

Mutation Mechanics: When used on a human target, be it ally or enemy, that individual has their secondary action skill replaced with an action skill with the same name as the monster they’ve been fused with (ie: --> Morbol). They are also placed under the status “transmogrified”, which lasts from 3 to 7 active turns. This status can neither be healed nor dispelled. Characters affected by Mutate also acquire any inherent abilities/disadvantages of the monster fused in place of their own. They still retain their original support ability, however.

When used on a monster, it simply adds on the new action abilities to their ability list, and all favorable inherent characteristics are chosen in place of disadvantages. Also lasts 3 to 7 active turns.

When used on the Transmogrifier himself, the transmogrified status lasts indefinitely, and his Mutate action is replaced instead of his secondary. In addition to gaining the monster abilities, he also gains the action ability Separate, which cancels the transmogrified status immediately. Reaction, Support, and Movement abilities are treated the same way as for other human targets.

In all cases, without Omega Strain, the family of monster is chosen, but the specific type is random, as is the class (A, B, C).

Join the Army, see the world, meet interesting people - and kill them.

~Pacifist Badge, 1978

My internets are finally up and running again, so here I am.

I've been toying with a few ideas for classes, but haven't come up with anything concrete yet. As a disclaimer, it's been almost 6 months since I last played FFT, so my ideas may be skewed pretty badly.

I figured I'd try my hand at a Dark Knight, since it seems to be a popular choice for many others. Also some semi-original classes, a Red Mage, and a feeble attempt at humor (the last class).

This is a huge post, so I apologise for the length.

Coward

FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.

If i could Invent a Class i would call it The Dashing Swordsman, ill add the abilities and stuff later.

Job Name: Contractor
a contracted hitman. uses covert skills to complete the most impossible jobs with pin-point accuracy.

Required Jobs: Lv.4 Oracle, Lv. 4 Ninja

Innate Abilities: Silent Walk

Base Stats: Move: 4 Jump: 4 Class Ev.: 20%

Max Stats (if leveled from 1 to 99 as this job)
HP: 370-385 MP: 250-265 PA: 10(f), 11(m) MA: 6(m), 7(f) Speed: 12

Equip: Guns, Knives, Ninja Knives, Hats, Clothes, Robes, Accessories

Job Command: Covert Skill
skill used to eliminate targets ignoring enemy evasions

Action Abilities:

Illusion - Effect: 1 Range: Auto Speed: Now
Add: Invisible

Haymaker - Effect: 1 Range: weapon range Speed: Now
normal attack, but damage is boosted by 1.5 (%=Br-PA)

Deny:Chance - Effect: 1 Range: 1v2 Speed: Now
this is pretty much 'Dash' with a 2 panel knock-back at 100%
Without repost, lose any chance to escape! Deny:Chance!

Deny:Act - Effect: 1 Range: 4 Speed: Now
Add: Don't Act (%=Speed*6)
Loss comes sudden as with the raging winds! Deny:Act!

Deny: Move - Effect: 1 Range: 4 Speed: Now
Add: Don't Move (%=Speed*6)
Feet become as heavy as one thousand labours...Deny:Move!

Deny: Health - Effect: 1 Range: 4 Speed: Now
Add: Undead (%=Speed*5 + MA)
Thurst without drink, tire without chance of rest...Deny:Health!

Deny: Breath - Effect: 1 Range: 1v1 Speed: Now
Add: Dead (%= [Br/2]+Speed*[MA/4])
Souls cut down like mere timber...Here's the end! Deny:Breath!


Reaction Ability(s):

Chance Cure - certain statii (poison, petrify, undead, sleep, don't act, don't move), during each CTR, have a 20% chance to be cured

Last Resort - strikes down opponent that deals fatal damage. Add: dead
(%=Br)

Support Ability(s):
Suppressor - certain commands will not trigger any reaction abilities

Movement Ability(s):
Silent Walk - will not trigger traps

an ideal setup would be...

Female, Br 97, Fa 03, worst comp. w/ scorpio

Stone Gun
-
Thief Hat
Rubber Suit
Seteimson

Covert Skill
Item
Chance Cure
Suppressor
Teleport

strat: with this set, there's no worry of triggering ANY reaction abilities with your normal attack! wait until you're cured of petrify, then use haymaker at a safe distance and use elixers when necessary; auto-haste makes up slightly for initial petrify; the +1 MA on the seteimson is necessary only for the best results with Deny: breath (or Deny: bracelet, in the spirit of FFT), but you'll prob. wanna stay away anyways, usually waiting after you attack; rubber suit is for best natural HP and lower PA (higher haymaker acc.) than RoL option. probably the more stable of the two options

...or for males...

Male, Br 97, Fa 03, Cancer or Pisces

Rune Sword
-
Flash Hat
Robe of Lords
Genji Gauntlet

Covert Skill
Throw
MP Switch
Equip Sword
Move MP Up

strat: this is the RoL option, which tries to maximize the use of deny:breath, since males have higher PA anyways and lower MA, and need extra MA than females; this setup is used to walk up close to the enemy after a first turn Illusion, and attack from behind with haymaker or deny: breath. using the 'Deny' skills before an attack is a good idea as well. with this set, a very thorough understanding of CT is vital, because with it comes the capability of immobilizing two units (one dead, one don't act'd) before either can kill him.

Well...?
