Alternate summon: Sixth Ranger.
Caster
Skills:
Agility: A++/ex. A
Shirou's feat's don't qualify him for this rank. Even with exaggeration I don't think this would qualify. Tone it down to B rank.
His summoning has reduced him to a single noble phantasm. Known as “The 108 skills of the sixth ranger”
Noble Phantasm: 108 skills of the sixth ranger. This is noble phantasm ensures that the servant is given all “skills” his legend asociates with him, even diminished as a mere servant, independant of which class he’s summoned in.
This is actually an interesting trait for a servant. It turns him from powerhouse servant to a sneaky tricks kind of servant. A very potent gimmick, provided it's handled correctly.
Personal Skills: Knight Of Owner, a skill that cannonically goes tot the greatest swordsman in any given Era, in the modern day Shirou has the undisputed right to use it, unlike Lancelot’s black veined reinforcement though, his artificially imposes the concept of “sword” upon it as a result of his training with Kirito. turning even non-weapons into genuine tools of war.
I don't know about that. It's entirely possible for others who have not appeared to be superior. Even if it is viable for Shirou to have it, I think this particular skill would be dependent on his projection skill
Double Summon: Like how Semiramis has the ability to be summoned as a combination Caster/Assassin Shirou’s been summoned as a combination Caster/Archer.
I'd recommend against this. As we saw with Semiramis, this was a borderline story breaker power. It's redundant too, since the NP obviates the need for it anyway.
Familiar creation: EX. As someone who in life participated and won in the Grail war, this heroic spirit has the ability to summon a servant as a familiar.
No, especially as it's not something he'd be famous for. Besides, the caster class can summon servants under the right conditions anyway.
Arrow avoidance: A++ in life the Ranger was famous having caught an incoming projectile and used it as a weapon against his opponents. As part of the 108 skills it is now passive, It does not target the one who fired the projectile though, as in his legend he used the projectile against another opponent, rather then the originator of the attack. The target would be an ally TO the originator of the attack. For example, if Gilgamesh shot a projectile, its only ally under usual circumstance would be the master Tokiomi, while if Kiritsugu shot at him Saber, Irisviel and Maya would be valid targets.
I'd be more inclined to believe that this would be of lower rank.
Alchemy: A+ while not an expert, he’s still an aprentice to “The White Witch” and is famous as having taught “Argo The Rat”
I'd tone this down to B rank (if that). Shirou is focussed on the practical uses as opposed to the deepest mysteries. Likewise, Illya is not a dedicated researcher of magecraft and therefore would not even be A rank in this skill.
Clairvoyence B: In life he famously used his previously mentioned structural analasis to look into the future of the Crown of the Slime King. Predicting it’s future as spoils of war. Though a one-off event in life it’s part of his legend nonetheless.
I'd lower the rank to C+, same as nameless.
Eternal Arms Mastery: Same as Lancelot.
Add in details that this derives from his structural analysis.
Battle continuation: EX. a Skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce mortality rate from injury. Representing both ability to survive would-be-mortal wounds or a strong willpower.in his case its based on the anecdote that during the Grail war he:came back from impalement through the heart with an anti-regenerative curse. He came back from the dead and fought his opponent defensively until summoning Saber, Continuing the war over the course of which he got slashed in two by Hercules and came back AGAIN and used the scabbard to survive a would be world-ending blow. While he did many of these feats in life through the assistance of Saber, as a heroic spirit this ability maintains even without her.
No! Bad richardsphere! I know it's tempting, but this is the result of equipment he does not have during the establishment of his legend. Secondly, headshots would kill Shirou instantly even with avalon. I'd downgrade it to B at best.
Beast Killer B. having personally caused the killing blow against 2 bestial bosses (the Moby Roc and the first floor boss) this skill increases his power against any bestial foe.
I'd say this needs to be handled carefully.
Bow and Arrow Creation: A. as long as he has materials he can instantly create bows and arrows.
Redundant, as both item creation and projection render it redundant.
Combination: EX skill that shows how much one’s combat power increases when on a united front with a given person. In life his co-operation with his summoned servant allowed him to survive an Anti-World attack.
This falls under low ranked charisma
Crossing arcadia: B-rank skill that allows for quick moving over a battlefield. In life he spend days moving over a large batlefield intervening and ending one clash before sprinting to another. Continuously for hours on end.
While a potent skill, I do believe that this is one that is more suitable for one of his other classes.
On the whole it's fine, though I'd recommend further distinguishing the differences between the caster class version of Shirou and the other classes.
For instance, Saber! Sixth Ranger can only use weapons that he created as his noble phantasms, while the Archer version has the 108 skills sealed in favour of his reality marble being easier to use.
