Always a worry, that. Something to watch out for U feel when I get the game.  

Lunatic+ is just adding RNG with enemy abilities (either them going off or running into an army of OP units with things like Lethality).  The real scare of Lunatic+ is enemy reinforcements as you won't have any idea what skills preemptively like the units already on the map.

Now Reverse Lunatic mode........glad they didn't bring that back........

So I just downloaded the game (hooray!) and I want to start this game out right! So... for the Avatar, I'm assuming that by the end you can have him/her become most of the classes available.

I want my Avatar to be an assassin type, so which stat should I have grow quickly (Speed/Skill/Luck)? And which one slowly (Magic)?

They start with a magic tome whatever you do, though. Magic should be a foregone conclusion.

Beef speed and maybe dump Res?

I'd say that sounds like a good plan. Resistance is always going to be pretty good because they're a mage, but speed is always lacking. 

Yeah, they give you Thunder but also a Bronze Sword, so I decided to go Skill+ Magic- and focus on being a sword wielder.

Also... Sully is hawt.

I knew you'd think that

Bronze Sword=Useless

Gotta start somewhere! My character aint gonna be no fancy pants mage.

Chapter 10 wasn't bad.

Have to do more relationship grinding tomorrow... When's the cutoff point that i have to have everyone married by for them to make kids?

None except for Chrom, who's cutoff is after Chapter 11.
