Bolt 15 18 22 27
Starting Equipment:
Middle Sword Nothing
Nothing Nothing
Evaluation:
To any fan of the Shining Force series, Ian comes as virtually no surprise. Like every previous Swordsman, he starts with the Egress spell and may eventually learn some weak bolt spells, whether or not he can actually use them due to his low MP value. Most of the time, his statistics are fairly average, but enemies will often attack him when they have a choice of attacking any other character in your party, so place him in your lineup carefully. As a precaution, carry around an extra Angel's Wing or give Ian the Mobility Ring so that he can cast Egress even if you consume all of his MP with the Bolt spells.
HERO (Hero)
Evaluation:
As a Hero, Ian can, like everybody else, equip better weapons and a few rings as well as cast superior Bolt spells. Continue to watch his HP and MP values and don't hesitate to cast an emergency Egress spell should the need arise. Ian must stay in the party at all times, but luckily he'll be one of the most useful members anyway.
