Quote:Hmm, my sugestion would be something alog the lines of Section 328, paraarph 7 of The Book; All ships of destroyer class or larger that operate or plan to operate more than 5 hours away from HQ shall carry at least on Midchilda type mage.
Anyway, I actually think you're right about the role they've been using Fate and Hayate in, and that it's a well-established one - that'd be why Chrono was assigned to the Asura in the first place.
Now I just need to rewatch and figure out what rules he was running under and I'll be set...
What the Ashura runs into is definitly uncommon, but I think one such incident every few decades would justify this kind of rule. Of course they still wouldn't be able to handle such things as the book of darkness. OTOH the redshirts must be pretty decent because Rita and wolf-boy where back to back watching them rather than dispatching them when they where surounded by a dozen or so of them. They can't be too good however because they retreated when the heavy hitters showed up.
I'd rate a heavy hitter like Nanoha or fate to be equivalent (for this purpose equivalent means 50/50 shot at winning) to about one and a half Wolken Ritter by series end, and equivalent to about a dozen higher-end Redshirts.
Does that seem correct?
