Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Reclassing
Introduction
Reclassing is a feature that allows you to directly change a
character's Class to one of 6 Classes, ranging from Pegasus Knights to
Curates. After
Reclass, a character's Level and Experience remains the same,
but their other stats (like HP, Strength) and weapon proficiency may
change.
You can Reclass characters as many times as you want (from Chapter
4 and onwards, and in the battle preparations menu only), although
there are limits on the amount of one class
you have. So don't expect to have a full army of Myrmidons, for example.
Also, characters whose Class is Lord, Thief, Ballistician, Chameleon or
Manakete
cannot Reclass. Promoted classes can still Reclass, but
they can only change between promoted classes, eg. Dracoknight,
Bishop.
Limits
The amount of one class that you can have, at a given time, is:
1 + the number of
characters with the same class that you could have recruited up to that
point (including characters from sidequest chapters or alternate
characters, but not including the faceless replacements).
For example,
by the end of the game you should be able to have a maximum of 7
Knights or Generals (from: 1 + Draug + Roger + Dolph + Macellan +
Horace + Lorenz).
Attribute changes
The stat (eg. HP, Strength) changes from changing between
classes
is equal to the new class's base stats minus the original class's base
stats.
The character's growth rates depend on their class, and are equal to
the character's base growth
rates + the class
growth rates.
If a character cannot use a weapon type in their new class, but could
in their original class, that weapon type's level is lost (but gained
Weapon Exp remains).
Class sets
Characters are divided into three Class sets: Male A, Male B and
Female.
Characters can only Reclass to the Classes in their set, with their
initial class determining what Class set they're in
(eg. Frey is a Cavalier so he's in the Male A set).
Male set A
Non-promoted: Cavalier - N/A - Archer - Myrmidon - Mage - Curate
Promoted: Paladin - Dracoknight - Sniper - Swordmaster - Sage - Bishop
