CHARACTER GUIDE
Equippable weapons info Taken from Moogie and Sir Fil's Shining Force Page; Spell levels learned learned taken from Col. G.L. Sicherman's FAQ, with corrections as needed. (Terrain and rings by Shivers.)

The following pages have details about each characters' types, weapons, spells, and statistic growth charts.

The class pages have info about movement range, equipable weapons and rings, and how much characters of that class are affected by different terrains. Where marked with "?" for certain terrains, it is because no characters of that class ever walk across that type of terrain. Ninja, for instance, only has two known terrains because Hanzou only ever fights indoors.

The individual character pages have the details about statistic growth, spells known, etc, as well as subjective analyses by both authors. Sephirstien's analyses tend to reflect a strategy of levelling high before proceeding, whereas Shivers favours lower levels with an emphasis on magic and special items, and has only added comments when their opinion differs from Sephirstien's. Each stat chart reflects the growth from joining until level 20 - so characters joining at level 10 should have their stats compared to just the second half of the chart for someone who joined at level 1. Post-promotion stat growth patterns are the same no matter when you promote them, and are all calculated from levels 1 to 20.
