[quote=@Lightning Fast]Just curious: what are the rules for class promotion in this RP?[/quote]
I am going to try to stick with both game-logic and roleplay logic on that one. Let's say that the classes are, like, different styles of fighting. When you've trained one into your body, it will stick that way unless you take some SERIOUS effort into changing it to something else, which is something we won't be having the time to do with the war waging as it is. A promotion is therefore a natural evolution of said classes, which simply makes sense to do in order to grow stronger after a while. I am going to force you to use promotional items, however, and I WILL be remembering the internal levels in case someone feels like promoting on level 10 and another waits to level 20. Assume the Guiding Ring unlocks the magical power within a magician needed to promote, a Knight's Crest might include the necessary armor upgrade, Hero Crest probably has something with the physical body to do, the Elysian Whip... ... ... ... ... What's up with the Elysian Whip, really? Do they whip the poor beast to promote? Geesh. In any case. We're not there yet, but that's roughly that which I had in mind, nothing I've applied to the game yet, though. I'd like it to make sense in-character, as well.

[quote=@Draconfound]Question, what do stairs mean on the map? Are they considered exits? Can characters stand on them?[/quote]
The stairs lead to various places within the castle. A character can stand on them, but a unit coming up from the stairs will naturally not be blocked from ever appearing just because someone is standing in the way. Assume the character is standing by the side of one. I implore you not to go down them, it would become so troublesome for me to try to get the appropriate maps.
