Specifically, the summon skills.
Gonna hide in spoilers to be safe:
[spoiler]When they call a beast, how does it work? I don't think it's a 6th member because I never saw beast portraits. Does it act as the Beast King's normal attack until the beast return skill is used?

[s]You know what, I'm not sure. Never thought of that. I shall have to test it now.[/s]
EDIT: Yes, this does indeed work. The beast king, upon returning the beast, is fully refunded for a cost he never paid (due to Dark Ether immediately refunding it). Awesome.
I mean, my return beast is only 1st level at the moment. But in my test (vs. 2 Forest Frog):
ROUND 1: BK uses Lvl 1 Summon Snake (should be 15TP), Zodiac uses Lvl 5 Dark Ether for 10 TP. Snake appears, costs nothing.
ROUND 2: BK uses Lvl 1 Beast Return. It uses 8TP to cast, but then immediately returns 15 TP (15 came up), putting BK onto full.
I guess there's a TP regaining trick in that, eh? I guess that makes this combo even more viable.
The eventual plan was to have BK on the back with Ballistae and Zodiac, summoning a Tiger for free into the front whilst the Ballistae gets away with ludicrously powerful shot attacks every battle for free. In other words, using this Zodiac as a TP whore since she can afford it.
Meanwhile, the front is a Defensive minded Prince with Reinforce up the wazoo (eventually going Phalanx, as well as getting Ambitious Command for more TP abuse), and a Monk obssesed with using Counter. Joined with a Tiger, of course, also using Counter.
They're fairly crappy at the moment, of course, since they're just Level 6.
