 +===== Starting gear ===== 
 + 
 +By default, characters will join you with the same gear as their first appearance in vanilla FF4, with some minor exceptions: 
 +  * Paladin Cecil will join with a Silver Staff instead of the Legend Sword. 
 +  * If you recruit Rydia as an adult, she will have adult Rydia's starting gear rather than child Rydia's. 
 + 
 +Enabling the ''Cnekkie'' flag will replace each character's starting equipment with a random [[item stats tables|tier 1-3 weapon]] and no 
 +armor. (If the weapon is a bow, they will also start with 20 of a tier 1-3 arrow.) 
 + 
 +===== Party size ===== 
 + 
 +As in vanilla FF4, the maximum number of characters in your party is 5. For an added challenge, the ''Cparty:'' flags may be used to reduce that limit.

 +===== Hero Challenge =====
 +
 +The ''Chero'' flag enables the Hero challenge, which applies the following rules:
 +  * Your starting character is designated as the Hero.
 +  * You cannot dismiss the hero.
 +  * The hero is the only instance of that particular character (unless other flags force otherwise, such as a [[objectives|character objective]], or if the character pool is limited only to that character).
 +  * The hero must fight the boss battle in the Mt. Ordeals mirror room alone.
 +  * Instead of Excalibur, Kokkol the smith will craft an [[ff4_advance_weapon_stats|FF4GBA-exclusive weapon]] usable by the hero. This overrides the ''-smith:alt'' flag.
 +  * The hero always gains EXP, even if incapacitated.
 +  * The hero is your [[battle_mechanics|agility anchor]].
 +    * If ''-vanilla:agility'' is also enabled, then vanilla agility (ie. Cecil) takes precedence.
 +  * When playing with a permadeath challenge, the hero is exempt from permadeath.
 +  * Any multi-battle fight in the Crystal Chamber on top of Mt Ordeals (Fabul Gauntlet and Dr Lugae) will have a full heal as each battle concludes.
