Mercenary Office, Follower Creation Shop

A follower doesn't have to be an actual character. The follower system can also be used to represent very special equipment, or even to simply make your character more powerful (although note that, statistically, the follower is still treated as separate). While making you follower, please remember that if it is illegal for your general to have, then it's illegal for the follower. All upgrades to techs are to be done in the Mercenary Gym and make sure you are buying from the right Level (Level 1 characters buy from the Level 1 Followers selections). Once you are ready to purchase your follower(s), post the stats in this thread then a staff member will come along and post if the follower is approved or if you need to fix a few things before you add the stats to storage.

Vitals
Regular Generals have a 20 FIP cap on combined vitals per partial level (including Rifter) to be spread among allowed followers while Tacticians and Single-Soldier dependents have a 25 FIP cap for combined vitals on allowed followers. See Chapter 14: Followers for the list of vital caps and number of allowed followers.

Traits
The first trait of a follower is free. You are allowed to buy up three more traits, however you are limited on the variety. Traits are classified by Grades, and each follower is allowed up to 2 A Grades or 1 S Grade trait and the rest of them B Grade traits. S Grade and A Grade traits are not compatible and you may have all B Grade Traits.

Techniques
The first technique of a follower is free. A follower can have a maximum of 6 techniques -- just like their general -- plus 2 more for each full battle level higher. You may chose any type or element for your Techs with the exception of No-Type and Non elemental. If you want a tech that is not listed below, you will need to quest for it at this time.

Abilities
Followers may have 2 abilities per level. Only special abilities may be purchased from the Level 1 list at higher levels. Anything else will be underpowered for your level.

Time to give this system a good crank and a whirl...

Kairi's soldiers approved.
Alex, Gant, Dimento, remember you have a free attack and free trait as well

No you don't.... You have to buy it attacks and Traits.

All soldiers get a free attack and a free trait, but for every attack and trait afterwards, you have to pay 60c or 2 IP

If that's true then that has to be penciled in to the first post of this topic. It apparently was only stated in Staff Forum.

Read the follower creation guide, Axel

That's all it says. And that's misleading, as it seems like everything must be bought first hand.

You don't have to. For every 90c you spend you can one free IP. In other words, another bonuc 30c. That actually only costs 270c...

[=.= My math skills are nigh terrible. Thanks for pointing that out. that would mean I have roughly 3 bonus IP to spend if it totals out to 270c, right?]

This post has been edited by Cliff on Sep 30 2007, 09:15 AM

If you have spent 330c though, you should've gotten 14 IP to spend on it, BTW

Huh? Do you mean extra IP after what you already made? If that what you're talking about, then you only have 1 IP left.

EDIT: If you're going to use tomorrow's payday, then you should have 2 IP left.

...? For me, yeah, but I spent the same amount on my soldier as Cliff did..

Okay, spent 300c total (120c for HP, the same for EP, and 60 for DP) on IP, and with 1 IP free for every 90c spent, then I should have 3 IP total. One was spent to boost DP, and the other two were spent to give my follower an EP Regen ability.
And yes, I edited my follower.
