My Robin is nearing level 20 and still a Tactician. Let's say I want to promote him into Grandmaster eventually, but I'd like to pick up Armsthrift first and take advantage of the base class' superior stat growth.
Can I Second Seal into Mercenary and then Master Seal into Grandmaster, or do I have to go back to Tactician first? If so, is it a good idea?
The weapon has a ranking on it and the character has a weapon ranking. If the character weapon ranking is not greater to or equal to the weapon's then they cannot use it. The ranking goes from E (lowest) to A (highest).
In the bottom left hand corner you can see the characters weapon rank.
No luck finding a picture of a weapon description though.
In all honesty: what is written in Serenes Forest isn't wrong at all, but it is worded in a way that could lead to confusion and even misunderstandings.
The fact is, I believed the game would define a child's skill the moment one begins the chapter and would keep it in memory forever.
In truth: The child's skills are defined and redefined every time one begins the chapter.
Simply exiting the map, re-ordering the skills, then restarting the chapter, is enough to reskill the child. This is especially neat, considering one can enter a map without forward knowledge of which child is going to be recruitable, exit the map, then reorder the parents' skillset. All without reloading any savegames.
Needless to say, that once the child is recruited, the battle won, and the game saved; there is no way to change which skills the child will inherit from its parents, other than starting a fresh new game.

You do not need to change back into a Tactician to become Grand Master. If you use a Second Seal while promoted, you will gain access to all promotion classes your character is capable of.
