When you say maxed out, do you mean eveyr single stat possible?

Even on say Chrom the useless magic stat or stuff like that?

What are you guys doing for marriages? I'm kinda just thinking of doing it pretty randomly but there has to be some better way to pick (I really only care about the pairings that will produce kids)

You caught me!

Yeah, for characters who don't need the opposite offensive stat, I let it be (Like, as you said, Chrom and his Magic stat). For characters who use both (Tricksters, Monks/Clerics, Brides, Dread Fighters, Dark Fliers, Valkyries, Dark Knighs,  and Falcon Knights), they of course have everything maxed out.

Also, I "forgot" to put Kellam in my list and no one noticed. Poor Kellam.

I first played the game on Normal, then beat it on Hard, and now I'm back on Normal for the sake of making the grind easier.

Ha figured as much.  Would take forever to get some stats up like magic on Chrom. Don't think he has any class that would make him get decent growths in that.  Heck Chrom is pissing me off as it is right now.  On my 3rd time through Great Lord trying to get resistance to its max.  It's at like 30 right now.  Need 9 more.  Hopefully don't take too much more.  Of course I could always use a few talismans to get htere, but the fact that Chrom is used on every map it feels like I will level him anyway, so why be max yet.

Do you level faster on lower difficulties?  I know right now most my characters only get 8 xp, or 16 xp if I have paragon equipped, because they are all like on their 3rd or 4th reclass.  Also do you get stats better on lower difficulties?  I seem to recall on path of radiance and radiant dawn that it at least felt like I would get much better stat gains on lower difficulty.  Like on normal would get like average 5-6, on hard get only 3.

Ohterwise impressive anyway on your list.  I think only Cordellia and Nowi are max on mine right now.  Max in everything too, those two classes seem to have good growth rates.  Next closest is as said Chrom where his res is like 10 away, of course his magic is at like 8 or something.  The rest of my people all seem to have 3-4 maxed stats.  So another 3-4 to go on them all.  Though still working on getting the skills i want for all of them so I'm not too upset.  Haven't had to reclass the same class over and over like Chrom yet with anyone yet.

As long as one of the parents are Avatar M/F, Lissa, Sully, Miriel, Sumia, Maribelle, Cordelia, Panne, Nah, Tharja, Olivia, or Cherche there will be a child.

Avatar and Chrom (unless he marries a village girl) will always have 2 kids.

Are you intrested in what stat modifers they pass down to their kids?

Basically if a female gets married she has a kid.  There is only a couple females that don't have kids.

So do whatever you want.  Don't worry about anything special.  I think only 4 females that you get in the main storyline don't get children.  well unless you marry them to Avatar, cause then they would be the avatar's child's mother.  And besides the merchant Anna, who you can get somewhat early.  The rest are people you don't get till near end game, so don't worry and just have sex with whoever

Pretty much this.  Only 6 females won't have kids unless they hook up with Male Avatar, and 3 of those females appear only during/after Chapter 25.

I chose my pairings mostly by seeing how thier C to A supports went, if I liked it then I went to S.  The only one's I was like "dese guys gonna make babies!" from the start was Avatar and Tharja.

Totally understand your annoyances with the slow Resistance growth on most characters. But I found that the DLC Classes (Bride for women/Dread Fighter for men) have a pretty decent Mag/Res growth, so that's how I got Ike to max out his Res stat.

I'm not sure whether a lower difficulty results in more exp/higher stat growth though. I mean, when you encounter a StreetPass team, their stats are higher when you play on a higher difficulty, but I'm not sure about your own units.

Wise words, my friend. Wise words.

Okay, will do ;)

I knew how it worked, I just wasn't sure if I should go around trying to find who would be the optimal pairings...
