What I don't understand in this page is it says Forde is far from good. When you look at Gerik's page, you'll see most of his growths are as good as, if not better than Gerik's (who's considered one of the best fire emblem units in all the games), along with Forde having just as good starting stats as Gerik when level is taken in consideration. Forde consistently for me has been the best cavalier unit among his peers with the possible exception of Amelia if the RNG goddess is nice to her. But aside from my own personal experience, his stat growths show him to be far superior than the summary suggests. I don't want to go in and flat-out change it without discussion so it doesn't turn into some kind of edit war, but I would like some feedback on this.

- If you see a problem, then correct it. The summeries are subjective, and Forde's negative summery may not bee because his growths are bad but because the person who wrote it got unlucky.--Otherarrow 19:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- HP Gerik is higher
- Strength/magic Gerik is higher
- Skill Forde higher
- speed forde higher
- Luck Forde higher
- Defence Gerik higher
- Resistance Draw
They look equal, 3 each and one draw. However in my opinion i'd rather have Gerik's hp, strength and defence than Fordes' skill speed and luck. espcially considering that both are going to double so speed doesn't make much difference. --Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 19:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with Otherarrow, in this case the summary is correct, the summary says he is average if not a little bit above it, which I have always found true.

If you're talking how much strength each unit effectively has, Gerik's higher strength growth doesn't do anything for him though, considering say... a Great Knight's strength cap is much higher than that of a hero, meaning both units promoted at 20, Forde will have a higher damage output than Gerik, as well as equal CON. So Gerik's higher STR is a bit deceiving. In any case, I didn't mean this as a Forde vs Gerik contest, just using Gerik as a reference that shows Forde's not as bad as the summary said. He is, in fact, quite good compared to his peer cavaliers.
Anyway, again, just was trying to avoid an edit war or something. I appreciate the input
