Three tiers. Gotcha.

So does stat growth work differently? I know in FE7 there's a certain percentage chance that a character will gain in a stat every time they level up (like Hector has a 40% chance to gain in Strength every time he levels).

Adding a 3rd tier and kicking stats up to stupidly high numbers is about the only change.

Average Ike from Radiant Dawn at 20/20/20:

HP  65 / 65
STR 37 / 37
MAG 9  / 15
SKL 40 / 49
SPD 35 / 37
LCK 22 / 30
DEF 32 / 32
RES 15 / 23

With BEXP you can easily max all those non-maxed stats.
