Fire Emblem Awakening [SPOILERS INSIDE]

How is it kid skills work anyway? I assume it's the ones the parents have, but do the inherit specific ones, all the ones the parents have equipped, or what?

Edit: And is there any reason to *not* just immediately reclass someone once they learn all the skills for that job. Statups are pointless in awakening because everyone can cap everything (In principle anyway).

Kids learn the last skill their parents have equipped when you start the chapter. Chrom's son will always inherit Rightful King and his daughters will always inherit Aether (even if Chrom hasn't learned the skill yet).

You're correct on the stats thing.

Something I found out today is that forged weapons don't show up in the view stats when you're talking to a streetpass team. So it's very likely you think you can handle something and then get slaughtered.
