[@71342] If you want to change him to a brigand, that is entirely up to you. I mean, I'm probably going to compensate whatever you don't have with NPCs anyway, so... What do you feel you'd have the most fun playing as? An odd magician or an odd axe-wielder?

Edit: Seen from a different perspective, you'd leave Calico as the only offensive magic-user and join a way larger bunch of physical damage-causers. ... Granted, that group tends to be larger anyway, but eh.

It's not like my Fire Emblem party mostly consists of Assassins, Sword masters, and Heroes anyways. Who needs diversity when you can choppy choppy stabby stabby your way to victory.

Edit: As for more characters. It's a tough decision. I wouldn't mind more later but as of now maybe just 1 more would be okay so we can start with 10 characters. (A nice rounded number.)
