Introduction to the Game and a Message from the Creator/Adapter
The Fire Emblem RPG is a fan-made tactical role-playing game where the players form a party and battle
through various maps and scenarios placed before them. All players take their turn at the same time, and
cooperation and communication will be vital in their survival. Just as players take their turn together, so too
do all of their opponents. How challenging will this be? That depends on the GM, and the players. Those
familiar with Fire Emblem will likely remember difficulty with maps you’re not familiar with, and with a new
RPG that experience should be happening again and again. So if you’re looking for a challenge – this should be
ready to deliver. Of course, if you’re not – don’t worry. This should have you covered too.
The world of the Fire Emblem RPG takes place in a world where what we know as humans are known as
Beorc. There are other races which have access to fantastical powers known as Laguz, who have the ability to
change their form into animals according to which tribe they belong to. Laguz fight using the weapons given to
them through their animal forms, too proud to have to rely on weapons and spells as Beorc do. Humans and
Sub-Humans are derogatory terms used in hatred, and members of the other race would do well to avoid those
who utter these words. The presence of Laguz and their relationship with Beorc is something every GM will
have to decide whether or not they wish to include in their game. There are other tribes of Laguz I have not
included in this system for one reason or another, however if you are so inclined you are more than welcome to
create stats for them so you can play as or against them. The tribes I didn’t include in the game are Wolves,
Lions, and Black Dragons. Red and White Dragons, as well as Manaketes, can be found in the Dragons
Rising expsansion.
To fans of the series, I hope this was an accurate re-creation of something we’ve grown up loving. Ever since I
first played Fire Emblem I’ve wanted to be able to play it outside of just video games, and unfortunately I
couldn’t find anything that lets me do that. So I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve taken aspects from all of the
games I’ve played, which is all but the newest ones, and thrown them together into what I believe is the ideal
tabletop Fire Emblem experience. Of course, this doesn’t run as smoothly as it would in a video game, and of
course I don’t expect all players to like every aspect of the game I’ve compiled. For those of you who aren’t
happy with it, please change it to suit your liking. Or just omit what you don’t like. This is in your hands right
now after all, there’s nothing stopping you from ripping up a page you don’t like. I expect one issue quite a few
will have will be the Laguz. I found PoR/RD did it well in theory but not in execution, so I tweaked it to my
liking and left it largely the same. Nothing comes from me refusing to adapt, and if you find a certain play-
style more enjoyable – do it! And to those who like what I’ve done – thank you. Truly. Either way, thank you
for at least giving this a try.
Much love,
Dylan

Introduction to the System
To play the Fire Emblem RPG, you’ll need a pencil, an eraser, percentile dice (2d10s or 1d100),
possibly a d6 and/or a d8 depending on how you handle leveling up, and a calculator could be
handy to make combat quicker.
In Fire Emblem, there will be a gamemaster, or GM, and either 1 player or a group of players
who will form a party. In the case of a single player and a GM, the player will create all of the
Player Controlled characters and make all of the decisions both in and out of battle. If there are
multiple players, they will each create 1 character who they will control in and out of battle.
Parties can be as large or small as a group wants, depending on the setting and scale of the
campaign or one-shot.
For example, a PC-controlled band of mercenaries aiding a local village against bandits can
consist of anywhere from 4-7 PC’s and still feel natural in terms of size. An army waging large
battles being led by the PC’s on other hand could feel off if the only “allies” on the battlefield
are the 4 PC’s. There are 2 ways to fix cases like this. The first is to have each player roll up 2
PC’s to control instead of just 1. As a result, it would end up with 8 “allies” on the battlefield.
The second option is to introduce ally NPC’s to the battle, which the PC’s can possibly give
vague instructions to (such as engage the enemy, avoid the enemy, go to the target area, etc),
increasing the number of allies without manipulating the party. Of course there are other ways
to deal with these issues, as such every game can, and will, be different.
Fire Emblem rules are almost exclusively designed for the battlefield, though as an RPG role-
playing is highly encouraged. If this is desired, take a look at the “Ultra Abilities” expansion,
as it enables possibilities for role-playing with mechanics behind it. As always, if there’s
another way you’d prefer to do this, do it! As a GM you could always just choose whether
something succeeds or not whether it’s realistic or fun, or what the player said was convincing
to a certain NPC.
On the battlefield, there will typically be 2 or more sides taking turns to attempt to achieve
certain goals depending on the map. The PC’s will always go first.

Unit Stats
HP – this is the unit’s total hit points. When taking damage, a unit’s HP goes down. When at 0 HP, units are dead (or
incapacitated). HP cannot go above the unit’s maximum total.
STR – this is the unit’s strength. This determines how much damage the unit does with weapons.
MAG – this is the unit’s magic. This determines how much damage the unit does with tomes or staves’ effectiveness.
DEF – this is the unit’s defense. This determines how much the unit reduces damage it takes from weapons by.
RES – this is the unit’s resistance. This determines how much the unit reduces damage it takes from tomes or magic by.
SKL – this is the unit’s skill. This determines how likely the unit is to hit opponents with attacks and get critical hits.
SPD – this is the unit’s speed. This determines how many attacks a unit gets per combat and its ability to dodge attacks.
LUK – this is the unit’s luck. This determines how likely the unit is to hit opponents with attacks and dodge the attacks
and critical hits of its opponents.
Class – this is the unit’s class. This determines the units starting stats, proficiencies, and its role in battle. There are
currently 53 classes (Beorc and Laguz) in this handbook, and many more classes in expansions. Once a non-promoted
Beorc unit reaches 20th level and levels up once more, or it uses a master seal at any time, it chooses one of the two
promoted unit options available for that class.
Level – this is the unit’s level. Units start at level 1, and can progress by gaining experience points, or EXP. These can be
obtained through battle, using staves or class abilities, or through other means the GM sees suitable. Once at 100 EXP, a
unit levels up and begins counting experience from 0, carrying over any excess EXP.
Movement – this is how many spaces the unit can move every turn. Units move vertically or horizontally, not diagonally.
Units can pass through allies, but not enemies.
Con – this is the unit’s constitution. This represents how big the unit is, including a mount or armour it is wearing. This
affects which other units this unit can shove, or rescue or be rescued by. Typically, a unit can shove a unit whose
constitution is 2 larger or any amount lower than its own, or rescue any unit with a smaller constitution. The average
constitution of a class is presented with its stat block but can be changed within reason during character creation.
Line of Sight – How far the unit can see (what radius around the unit is revealed) in maps where vision is obscured.
Condition – this is what state the unit is currently in. A condition usually wears off after a set amount of turns unless
re-afflicted, or healed by item or staff. Typically, a unit is in normal condition, but can be put under the following:

 Berserk: When the Berserk status is applied to a unit, it loses control and will automatically target the most
vulnerable unit in its range, even if it’s an ally. Lasts 3 turns.
 Silence: When the Silence status is applied to a unit, it is unable to use magic tomes or staves. Lasts 4 turns.
 Sleep: When the Sleep status is applied to a unit, it cannot move, take actions, or counter-attack. This also
affects the unit’s ability to dodge. Lasts 3 turns. Optional: Each combat the afflicted unit is a part of reduces
the duration of the Sleep status condition by 1.
 Poison: When the poison status is applied to a unit, it inflicts 3 damage to the afflicted unit at the start of each
of its turns, as well as -10 Accuracy and Dodge. Lasts 5 turns.
 Stun: When the Stun status is applied to a unit, it cannot move, take actions, or counter-attack. This also
affects the unit’s ability to dodge. Lasts 1 turn.

5
Shift – this is a Laguz’s shift gauge (Beorc don’t have a shift gauge). This controls their ability to switch forms. A Laguz
automatically goes from humanoid form to animal form once the gauge is full, and from animal form to humanoid form
when it is empty. Laguz can switch from animal form to humanoid form at any time during their turn, and from
humanoid to animal form when it is at 20 or more. While in humanoid form, the shift gauge increases at the start of the
unit’s turn, and with any combat the unit participates in. In animal form, the shift gauge decreases at the start of the
unit’s turn, and with every combat the unit participates in. Each Laguz tribe has a different starting point and rate at
which the gauge increases and decreases.
Proficiency – this is the unit’s skill with a weapon, staff, or tome. This increases through using the desired item, as each
has a weapon experience rating, or wEXP rating, which represents how much wEXP a unit gains with each use.
Whenever a weapon is used, the player fills in boxes underneath that proficiency equal to the weapon’s wEXP rating.
Once a proficiency has reached 100 wEXP, it increases to the next rank. As this increases, the unit will be able to use
weapons with a higher rank, which are typically more powerful. The ranks are, in order: E, D, C, B, A, and S. At S
rank, the user gains +10 hit, +5 crit, and +1 damage with that weapon.
Special Quality – this is something out of the ordinary about the unit. Usually a special quality only affects combat,
however a unit with the “Flying” special quality can travel over most obstacles, but not enemies, during its movement.

Weapon Stats
Mt – this is the weapon’s might. This is added to either the unit’s STR for weapons or MAG for tomes to determine how
much damage is dealt with each attack.
Hit – this is the weapon’s hit rate. This is used to determine how accurate an attack will be.
Crit – this is the weapon’s critical hit rate. This is added to ½ of the unit’s SKL to determine an attack’s critical hit rate.
Range – this is the weapon’s range. This determines what spaces a unit can attack with a certain weapon or tome.
Wt – this is the weapons weight. The unit’s STR is subtracted from this, which is then subtracted from the unit’s SPD
to determine the unit’s speed in battle with a certain weapon equipped. This in turn can be used to find the Dodge rate in
battle by doubling the Speed and adding the unit’s LUK.
Uses – this is the weapon’s (or item’s) durability. Once an item’s durability reaches zero, it is destroyed. Melee and
thrown weapons only lose durability when they strike an enemy, and bows, tomes, and staves lose durability at any time
they are used, even if they miss.
Effect – this is the effect the weapon inflicts upon contact, or any effectiveness it has. If a weapon is effective against a
unit, it deals damage as though its Mt was 3x as high as it really is.
Rank – this is the weapon’s rank. See Proficiency.
wEXP – this is the weapon’s weapon experience rating. See Proficiency.

Other Stats
Gold – this is how much gold the unit has. In order to buy items, a unit needs gold. Items can also be sold for ½ of their
value, which decreases as durability is used up.
Exp – this is the unit’s experience points. See Level.

Note: For all purposes, stats and numbers are always rounded down if applicable,
and any negative numbers become 0 instead.

Introduction to the System – Actions
A unit can do any of the following during its turn:

 Move: Units can move any number of spaces in its range up to its movement through open spaces or spaces occupied by
allies, but not by enemies. Movement can typically be taken back, unless the unit runs into a unit not revealed in maps due
to visibility or GM discretion. After moving a unit can perform any other action.
 Attack: Units with a weapon equipped can attack an enemy unit. After a unit attacks its turn is over.
 Equip a different item: Units can equip a different item at any time during its turn before it acts. Until its next turn, a
unit is stuck with whatever it has equipped. Equipping a different item does not end a unit’s turn.
 Use an item: Units can use an item in its inventory to gain its effects. After a unit uses an item its turn is over.
 Trade: Units can trade items with other allied units. After a unit trades with another it can do any action except move,
otherwise its turn is over. In order to trade items the two units have to be adjacent to one another.
 Shove: Non-mounted units can shove other units 1 space. After a unit shoves another its turn is over. The space must be
unoccupied, and up to the GM’s discretion some units cannot be shoved.
 Rescue: Units can rescue and drop other allied units. A unit rescuing another loses ½ its SPD and SKL. After a unit
rescues another its turn is over.
 A class ability that requires an action: After a unit uses a class ability that requires an action, its turn is over
 Wait: Units can end its turn at any time, even without doing another action that would end its turn.
 Seize: Units can end certain maps by choosing the “Seize” action on certain spaces of the map. After a unit seizes a space,
its turn is over or the map is completed.
 Escape: Units can escape certain maps by choosing the “Escape” action on certain spaces of the map. After a unit escapes a
map, it is removed from the map. Typically once all party members or a certain party member has escaped, the map is over.
Note: A mounted or flying unit can move any number of left over movement spaces after an
action other than “Wait” that ends their turn, but must “Wait” after this movement.

Introduction to the System – Combat

When a unit attacks another, combat has started. Resolve the following in order, if possible,
1. The unit who initiated combat gets 1 attack
2. The defending unit gets 1 attack
3. Whichever unit has greater “Speed” with their equipped weapon by 4 or more gets 1 additional attack
In order to make an attack, do the following:
1. The attacker selects which weapon to attack with
2. Roll percentile dice, if the roll is equal to or lower than the “To Hit” target number the attack hits
a. To Hit target number = (Attacker’s SKL x2 + Luk + Hit) – (Defender’s Speed x2 + Luk)
i. To Hit target number = (Attacker’s Accuracy) – (Defender’s Dodge)
3. Roll percentile dice once more, if it is equal to or lower than the “Critical Hit” target number it is a
critical hit
a. Critical hits deal 3x the normal amount of damage
b. Critical Hit target number = (Attacker’s SKL/2 + Crit) – (Defender’s Luk)
i. Critical Hit number = (Attacker’s Critical) – (Defender’s Crit Avoid)
4. Damage is dealt
a. Damage = (Attacker’s STR or MAG + Mt) – (Defender’s DEF or RES)
i. Damage = (Attacker’s Damage) – (Defender’s DEF or RES)
Note: If a player is the attacker the GM must tell the player all values, see Weapon Triangle.
Note: In order to speed up combat, one can roll 2 sets of dice at once - 1 to hit and 1 to crit

The Weapon Triangle
In the Fire Emblem RPG there are two Weapon Triangles, similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors, in
which weapons have an advantage against one type of weapon but have a disadvantage to
another. One is for weapons, and one is for tomes.
The two weapon triangles are:

Swords Dark

Fire

Lances Axes Light

Thunder Wind
Anima

When in combat against a weapon or tome against which a unit has an advantage through the
weapon triangle, the unit gets +10 to accuracy and +2 damage.

When in combat against a weapon or tome against which a unit has a disadvantage through
the weapon triangle, the unit loses 10 accuracy and 2 damage.

So in short, +/- 10 accuracy, +/- 2 damage

Weapons not included in a weapon triangle neither have an advantage nor disadvantage
against any weapons, and a weapon does not have an advantage or disadvantage against
itself.

 The Map and Objectives
The Fire Emblem RPG is played on a grid, where the player characters start in set spaces where they can rearrange
themselves in, and then have to work their way towards a certain goal, depending on the map. This goal is typically
explained to the players before the map begins. Goals can include, but are not limited to:
 Seize: Have a player character choose the “Seize” action on a certain space on the map
 Rout: Defeat all enemies on the map
 Defeat the Boss: Defeat a certain unit on the map, designated as the “Boss”
 Survive: Survive a certain number of turns
 Defend: Prevent enemies from ending their turn on a certain space on the map
 Escape: All players must choose the “Escape” action on a certain space on the map

A map can be in any climate, whether it’s on a mountaintop or in a desert. Certain terrains will impose movement
restrictions on units though, or have other effects. Here is a list of several terrains and some modifiers that may apply:
 Plain: No modifiers
 Forest: +1 Defense, +15 Dodge, every space of movement takes the equivalent of two
 Mountain: +2 Defense, +20 Dodge, every space of movement takes the equivalent of three
 Fort/Throne: +2 Defense, +30 Dodge, no movement penalty, unit gains 10% of total HP each turn
 Sea: +10 Dodge, every space of movement takes the equivalent of two
 Desert: +5 Dodge, every space of movement takes the equivalent of two, movement for armoured and mounted
units takes the equivalent of three, magic users and thief line are unaffected
Certain maps will have terrain at different elevations. If a ranged attack is made against a unit at a lower elevation, the
attacker gets +1 damage and +30 Accuracy. If a ranged attack is made against a unit at a higher elevation, the attacker
gets -1 damage and -30 Accuracy. Melee attacks cannot be made against targets at different elevations.
It is important to note that the terrain can and should be used to control where units can move through the use of
buildings, fences, rivers, walls, rock-faces, and countless other ways to manage movement. Flying units can mitigate
these as per the GM’s discretion, typically they can fly over most obstacles. Doors are common obstacles in maps with
buildings, and can be opened through the use of a key or the pick skill, or through brute force. Depending on the type of
door, it will require a different amount of damage dealt to it in order to open.
Door Type Door HP Landmark Type Landmark HP Effect
Wooden Door 25 Snag 25 Falls into unoccupied adjacent space, units
Reinforced Wooden Door 40 can now cross it if they could not before.
Iron Door 50 Boulder 30 Rolls down map in a straight line, dealing
Reinforced Iron Door 65 10 points of damage to units in the way.
Portcullis 80 Cliffside 50 Rolls down map in a straight line, dealing
Castle Door 100 20 points of damage to units in the way.

On the battlefield there will occasionally be stationary weaponry found. These are usable by any non-mounted unit with
proficiency with bows, regardless of rank. The stationary weapons which can be found are:
Weapon Name Mt Hit Crit Range Wt Uses Effect wEXP
Ballista 18 100 0 3-10 30 5 Flying, Ignores user’s STR 4
Iron Ballista 22 90 0 3-15 30 5 Flying, Ignores user’s STR 4
Killer Ballista 20 95 15 3-10 30 5 Flying, Ignores user’s STR 4
Onager 20 Always Cannot 3-10 30 5 Damages the target space and all units 4
hits in adjacent spaces, Ignores user’s STR

Laguz

When a Laguz shifts into their animal form from their humanoid form, their STR, MAG,
DEF, RES, SKL, and SPD all receive a 50% boost, plus their CON increases drastically. This
increase will differ slightly for each unit but should roughly be around 75%. While in their
animal form, Laguz’s Movement is increased by 2. This potentially makes them very powerful,
but Laguz can’t be in this form all the time – and when they’re in humanoid form they’re
vulnerable to attacks. Feel free to change the starting shift gauge within reason when making
a Laguz.

When Laguz reach the level at which they would promote if they were a Beorc, they instead
gain a special skill and continue leveling up as normal. Once a Laguz has reached this point,
they can receive their Occult skill as if they had promoted. A Laguz cannot receive their occult
skill before they reach the level at which they would promote if they were a Beorc. If the player
is leveling up with the growth rate system, at this time the growth rates all increase by 5% and
may be rearranged. At this time the unit’s base movement also increases by 1.

In humanoid form, Laguz can only counterattack, using their untransformed stats for combat.

Forging
Weapons can be modified upon their purchase, if the GM decides that a forge is available at the time. Once a
weapon has been purchased and selected to be forged, the following stats can be changed in set increments.

Mt – Increments of 1. Mt can either be increased or decreased, to a maximum of +5 or -5.

Hit – Increments of 5. Hit can either be increased or decreased, to a maximum of +25 or -25.
Crit – Increments of 3. Crit can either be increased or decreased, to a maximum of +15 or -15.
Wt – Increments of 1. Wt can either be increased or decreased, to a maximum of +5 or -5.

As each stat can be modified up to 5 times, the total number of modifications a weapon can have is 20.

Each modification applied to a weapon costs gold, and each increment costs more than the last.
Each modification increment costs 150 gold x the increment level. As the 1st modification costs 150 and the 2nd
modification costs 300, the total cost of 2 stat increments to a stat would cost 450 gold. All costs are in
addition to the base weapon cost.

1st increment: +150 gold

2nd increment: +300 gold (+450 total)
3rd increment: +450 gold (+900 total)
4th increment: +600 gold (+1,500 total)
5th increment: +750 gold (+2,250 total)

To increase a weapon stat all the way up to 5 increments, it would cost 2,250 gold. To increase all stats all the
way up to 5 increments, it would cost 9,000 gold in addition to the base weapon cost.

Note: Staves are not considered weapons for the purposes of forging,
so their stats cannot be modified as such.

Skills can be assigned or removed at any time out of combat, or at any other time the GM sees
fit. Typically the maximum amount of skills a unit can have at once is four, but according to
GM discretion this can be expanded within reason. Skills can be found as any item can be, but
they cannot be “used” like an item. Usually skills cannot be bought and sold, but depending on
the skill gold values can easily be assigned.

The next two pages are both pages of the character sheet which can be used for
every character

42
43
44
Character Creation
1. Copy down the base stats and any starting skills for the class you choose, possibly adjusting Con a bit
to fit your concept better. Growth rates (if any) go in the small box beside the stat’s name (see p.45)
a. HP, STR, MAG, DEF, RES, SKL, SPD, and LUK are all in the top left corner
i. If playing a Laguz, when shifting from humanoid to animal form, your STR, MAG,
DEF, RES, SKL, and SPD all increase by 50%, and your Constitution increases
greatly (an example of a this would be a Tiger’s Constitution going from 11 to 18, or
a Cat’s from 8 to 14). Movement then increases by 2 as well. For these increases, it
would likely be best to write those changes in the “Temp” boxes next to the relevant
stat so you don’t have to change it constantly.
b. Name, Class, Level, Movement, Con, LoS, and Condition are at the top of the first page
c. Proficiencies are in the middle of the second page. Your first proficiency starts at D rank, any
others gained always start at E rank. If you start with two or more proficiencies, you must
choose one to be D rank and the rest must be E rank. All proficiencies start with 0 wEXP.
d. Shift gauge information is at the top right of the second page
2. Depending on how the GM and players decide is best, adjust character stats in one of these ways:
a. Each player has a pool of points to assign to stats, no stat can be increased by more than 2
during character creation.
i. For a low-powered game, each player gets 4 points
ii. For a mid-powered game, each player gets 5 points
iii. For a standard game, each player gets 6 points
iv. For a high-powered game, each player gets 7 points
b. For each stat, flip a coin. Heads – increase the stat by 1. Tails – Leave the stat how it is.
i. Or increase it by 1 for Heads and decrease it by 1 for Tails, get creative!
c. Each player rolls a d8 (an eight-sided die), and gets that many points to spend to assign to
stats, no stat can be increased by more than 2 during character creation.
d. Come up with a different way to change your starting stats! This is your game after all!
3. Each player starts with 1,000 gold. At this time all players can buy any weapons or items they can
afford. Players can’t pool together their resources at this stage of the game, after character creation it’s
up to the GM and players whether or not the players can or will pool their gold together.
4. Fill in the stats of the weapons and items (if any) you bought, as well as 1 box on the bottom of the
first page for each weapon you have with you. When you’ve filled in all of the weapon stat blocks, fill
in or check off 1 of the small boxes that say “Equipped” by 1 of these stat blocks to signify you
equipping that weapon, to avoid any confusion in combat. (Don’t worry, changing which weapon you
have equipped is as easy as erasing that mark and filling in another box – during your turn)
5. Depending on the GM, they may allow players to gain skills outside of their starting class skills right
off the bat.
6. And now it’s time for the little things – your character’s homeland, allegiance (if any), and gender.
Depending on the game and the GM, you may be required to fill in all or none of these – as long as you
have what is needed and you want to do, you’re doing great!
7. If there’s anything else you want to write down, but didn’t have a place to, use the notes section!
Note: It can often be a good idea to discuss what you’re planning to be with your fellow players, and
balancing your party, but be careful that nobody is forced into playing something they don’t want to.

45
Leveling Up
PC’s will be levelling up quite a bit in the Fire Emblem RPG. Let’s make sure it’s done properly.
Through combat, using certain items or class features, or whatever else your GM deems worthy to reward
experience points (also known as EXP), you’ll eventually reach 100 EXP. Once you’ve reached 100 EXP you
level up and carry over any excess EXP, restarting the process from 0 EXP but 1 level higher.
There’s several options of how to do it when it comes to leveling up, but it’s best if all players use the same
method once a way has been chosen.
1. Each player has a pool of points to assign to stats, no stat can be increased by more than 1 when
leveling up.
a. Anywhere from 3-5 should work for balancing, depending on how hard you want it to be.
i. Of course this is your game, so you can go higher or lower if you want too.
2. For each stat, flip a coin. Heads – increase the stat by 1. Tails – Leave the stat how it is.
3. Each player rolls a d6 (a 6-sided die), and gets that many points to spend to assign to stats, no stat can
be increased by more than 1 when leveling up.
4. Every player is given 8 growth rates, 80%, 70%, 65%, 60%, 50%, 35%, 25%, and 20%
a. Each player then assigns each stat 1 of these growth rates (you can’t give the same growth
rate to 2 stats)
b. Every time you level up, roll percentile dice for each stat. If you rolled equal to or under the
growth rate value, increase the stat by 1.
5. Come up with another way to manage leveling up. There’s no one right or wrong way to do it!

You might have noticed that these are pretty much identical to the methods used to increase stats during
character creation, and that’s because really there is no difference! Leveling up in Fire Emblem really “only”
increases your stats, and your proficiency is increased through using your weapon of choice. As you go through
your adventures you’ll also come across skills to further increase your power.

Promoting
Once a Beorc unit has reached level 20 (or another level if the GM decides to go with another one) and reaches
enough EXP to level up 1 more time it promotes. At this time, the unit must choose 1 of the 2 promoted classes
available to it to become, and upon making this choice adds bonuses to its stats depending on the class it chose.
This always grants the unit a new skill upon promotion, and its effect is always unique to the class. Once a
unit has promoted, it can be given a skill known as an Occult skill, a powerful skill that is also unique to that
promoted class. Promoted units may also grant additional proficiencies or a new special quality. If a unit
promotes and is using the growth rate method of leveling up, each growth rate increases by 5% and can be
reassigned at this time. Once promoted, previous levels are kept and new levels are added to the previous levels,
the total of which is the unit’s effective level, which is used for certain skills, classes, and abilities.

Laguz don’t promote like Beorc do upon reaching a certain level, instead they continue leveling up as normal
but gain their Laguz skill at this time. A Laguz skill acts much like a promotion skill, as they are
automatically assigned at a certain level. After this point, a Laguz can get their Occult skill just like Beorc do,
it is still unique to every Laguz tribe and it is still very powerful.

Awarding Experience Points (EXP)
Here are some methods you can use for awarding EXP. As always, feel free to adjust them as you see fit.

Combat Note: EXP is only gained once

per combat, regardless of how
Player Level vs Enemy Level EXP gain for a Kill EXP gain for Damage many attacks are made.
Player Level is 6+ levels lower 59 20
Player Level is 5 levels lower 57 19 wEXP however, increases with

GM Tips
So you’re running a session. Maybe it’s even a campaign! Either way, I’m proud you wanted to do this. Or
maybe you got pushed to do it because none of your friends wanted to do it. It doesn’t really matter. What’s
important is that you’re doing it. Plus you’re reading this, so that’s a start! I’ll try to give you some “quick”
advice that should help you make a better session or campaign, and more enjoyable for everyone. As with the
rest of this handbook, you don’t have to listen to these. You may disagree with what I wrote, and that’s fine.
1. Play some Fire Emblem games! No seriously. If you’ve played them all, replay them. Pay attention to what
units were placed where, and why. Why is such a vital question. Think about anything in your world. Why is
it the way it is? As soon as you ask why, you’ll think of answers to those questions. And then more questions
to those answers. Then more answers, and questions, you get it. But yeah, tip #1: Everything has a “why”.
2. Ask your players what kind of game they want to play in. Like, seriously ask them. Or if that’s not your
style, come up with 3 or more different settings or types of games you want to run. Then have your players vote
on which one(s) they’d want to play most. Say you send them standard fantasy, swashbuckling pirate, and
school of magic. If all of them vote on the pirates, it’ll probably be a great and fun game since everyone is
playing in a game they chose! Of course, if the results are scattered there might be a problem. Seriousness is also
good to clarify right off the bat. So in short, tip #2 is get everyone on board in a game they want to play in.
3. You don’t have to make an entire world with centuries of history and political interactions right away. You
might never have to make one. Don’t be intimidated by the enormous blank slate in front of you. If the PC’s
start in a town, feel free to just make the town and the surrounding area. If they’re starting in a kingdom and
making their way towards a goal, flesh out the kingdom, take down a few important points about the goal,
and make up the rest on the PC’s journey. Naturally, if you feel comfortable going all out right away, great!
This one’s more to prevent beginner GMs from being overwhelmed. So tip #3: Don’t be afraid to start small.
4. Ask your players how hard they want the game, and try to figure out how to provide that. You can make
encounters harder by adding more units for them to fight, increasing the levels of their opponents, giving their
opponents better gear, or through crafty unit placement. You can do the opposite to ease up on the PC’s as
well. Also think about what strategies enemies use – do they attack whatever’s in range/run up or do they
have plans? Basically tip #4: Figure out the difficulty setting and how to get there (and how to mix it up).
5. Names are important. Refer to each player by their character’s name for immersion and plan NPC names
beforehand. Create a list of names you can refer to if they ask a villager or guard for their name, just so you can
look like you had it all planned out. Tip #5: Names cause characters to become real to the players (and you).
6. Give the players options. Not in combat, your players should have free reign there anyway but be made
aware of the consequences of failure in battle before it actually happens. But out of combat, during role-play,
the players should feel like the choices they made are their choices, not choices you forced them into. Sure you
can nudge them a bit, but ultimately the choice to go on has to be theirs. If they’re mercenaries, what’ll happen
if they don’t take the job? What’s your plan then? Tip #6: Keep both your own and the players’ options open.
7. For opponents your players can face, don’t be afraid to make your own content. Monsters and dragons have
both been plots present in Fire Emblem games! As long it has a stat score, be it STR or SPD, MAG or RES, it
can fit the system. They can either only come into play at the very end of a campaign, or the entire time
throughout. Finally tip #7: only your imagination limits you.

 Well, we’re at the end of the book.
Thank you for reading this.
It’s for people like you I made this. People who read rulebooks cover to cover. I’m
like that you know. I love nothing more than flipping through the rulebook of an
RPG for the first time, picking up mechanics and ideas as I’m reading it.
But in all the books I’ve read, there’s always been one line that’s universal through
every system. And I’m not going to end that tradition here. No matter how much
you try, you’re not going to be able to memorize every rule in every system. Because
that’s not what RPGs are about. Here’s the point I’m trying to get across.

Never let the rules get in the way of a good story.

We’re not machines, we make mistakes. Make a call on the fly and move on – you
can check the rules later. And if there’s a moment you’d love a player to have but
they missed it by 1%, it’s your call whether or not it happens. It works better if the
player doesn’t know the values exactly, but the point still stands.
So I guess that’s tip #8 right there.
I’m not the best GM, not by a long shot, but I have passion. I hope you could feel
that while flipping through these pages.
From a gamer like you, happy gaming.
