Would a scepter work?

You're not sold on the daggers anymore, Justin? I recall that we did go through several discussions about the best weapon choice for Schala when this project was first being developed. Some folks were partial to a more magic-oriented weapons (like rings or even some kind of mini-blasts in lieu of any weapon). I think someone provided information about how real-life royalty were trained to use daggers for self-defense or something too. Personally, I liked the idea of there being a nod to Kid when Schala joins your party but that's just me.

Let me know if you're going to end up pursuing this patch again; I'd gladly contribute on the story/dialog front again.

I just honestly think a scepter or a staff is more of a caster weapon. Or you could give me a wand since Marle and Lucca use ranged weaponry and are primarily casters, but I'm a bit iffy on looking like a Hogwarts student.

If you still want the nod to Kid, you could probably use the dagger as her 'enemy is too close for ranged' attack like the way Lucca uses her hammer.

*shrugs*

Edit: Or better yet, just have her use the dagger as a focus for her ranged attacks along with the above.

I think for the sake of continuity Schala's weapons need to be the same of Kid.

A wand would be the simplest to sprite. A scepter would work too, like something royalty would have.

A wand/scepter seems a bit too generic and almost 'Magicl Girl' in this sense honestly.

Maybe we could keep daggers and have it be ranged AND melee?  If she's far away, she'll throw them up but up close she'll cut 'em?

I was thinking about this and Chrono Trigger really didn't trope the "jobs" of its characters that much (e.g. knight, thief, monk, etc). Everyone had a healthy mix of magic and traditional fighting skills. You could break the "Magical Girl" trope with Schala the same way Ayla broke the "Monk" trope. Embrace certain qualities of the trope but turn one aspect on its head. Ayla is a bare-fisted monk without the traditional peaceful aspects, Frog is a traditional knight without the traditional good looks. Schala is the traditional magical girl without...something?

Maybe we could keep daggers and have it be ranged AND melee?  If she's far away, she'll throw them up but up close she'll cut 'em?
Will she have to retrieve the daggers after she throws them? What would the limitations be sprite-wise?
