Yeah, Runemasters gain nothing from the Arcanist skill pool, unless you really need Bracing Walk/Warding Mist.

I still don't know why you'd want R/A. Runemasters are missing Luck, which is the larger portion of the status application formula.

The scripts- Bushi Script, Deepwood Lore, whatever the third one was. Raise a party member to a specific level. Two uses, but handy for skipping grind when you just want to introduce a new party member.

Use a script, hunt golden sheep, rest party members who get too far ahead if it bothers you.

Bracing walk does stack.

You mean he didn't trip every paranoia sensor the first~second time he appeared? I was pretty much just waiting for something bad to happen the entire time.

Landsknecht, if you want to avoid changing anything else. It does basically the same thing- physical/elemental damage, but at the opposite of the speed spectrum.

Ditch the bind circles, get Venom Throw. Spread+Venom is a 2-turn "kill everything" attack, at a price of 1 TP. Or -1, if you have Auto Spread.

Snipers do an awful job of pretending to be Nightseekers. Just gonna say right now.

Also, you can get everything you NEED out of a N/A pretty quick- Ailment Boost, TP Return, Mastery, Blade Flurry, and all the Throws. Spend the rest on things like Spread Throw, a Cloak, or the various knife skills.

Venom Throw is basically murder on anything without poison immunity, yeah. So, basically, if you aren't fighting robots or absurdly lucky opponents, it's a -1TP mass damage ability.

Drive skills are melee-only, and massively more useful on an I main, due to the increased power, better TP regen via Impulse Edge/Absorber/Finisher, and shorter cooldown thanks to their class skill. N/I is okay too, but do you really need two Imperials?

Suisei no Gargantia remains good into episode 3! It feels like I'm watching a really long, high-production value anime movie. Something like Steam Boy or Princess Mononoke, a bit.

Finally

No, it smells like perfectly ordinary cologne.

Also, Emobears are a lot more annoying than I expected. Almost scarily beefy.
