@vancexentanIf we're being technical, the Noble Phantasm isn't specifically the horse. It's the mental interference that makes people think Lancer is a centaur when riding into battle. I even cited that as an example, if he were summoned as a Rider, he'd be able to actually use it regularly. It's like Mordred's Secret of Pedigree, which would normally seem to be a skill that belongs to an Assassin.
His second Noble Phantasm does actually match his infamy in history, and
if you gave at least his Wikipedia page a read, or
some other
biographies about Pedro, then it'd be easily understandable how infamous he is. He isn't taught in school because of how he didn't actually contribute to history. He's known to be ruthless, even for a
conquistador. One that
various people made actual legends about. And if we are to compare between his NP and Blood Arthur, Blood Arthur is still arguably stronger. Pedro's second NP is basically a bird shaped giant fireball. They share the same NP rank, for one, and Pedro's NP has more factors as to whether it'd be less effective against certain foes.
Conquistador doesn't give its boosts unless you're actually
in enemy territory. It's like if he were summoned as Lancer of Red, he'd have to be
in the Yggdimillenia Castle or
in Lancer of Black's claimed leylines in order to get its boosts. Plus, there's other canon skills that would boost parameters when surrounded by enemies, and it wouldn't make as much sense. Skills are pretty specific in what they intend. Just because he's surrounded by enemies doesn't mean he'd get the boost. He'd have to be
in their actual territory in order to use it.
As for Lancer's Magic Resistance, if you read the last sentence in its description, then its plus modifier would be clear as to what it does.
@1Charak2In the Fate universe, Heroic Spirits actually can deny certain skills, with Divinity being one of them, and yet still have another feature that alludes to such. Alexander has Divinity because he recognizes himself as the son of Zeus, and even if he didn't, due to how old he is in history, and that we're dealing with the Fate universe where gods did exist and he's from the Age of Gods, then him having a ranking in that skill makes sense. Lancer on the other hand has no cults dedicated to him, and would deny that he's actually a sun god seeing as he's a pretty devout Catholic as implied from his first NP, among other things.
And to further add to the example of denial, Vlad doesn't have 10 skills saying he's a Vampire because people said so. In fact, in the version where he denies he is a Vampire, the only thing that alludes to him being a vampire is his second NP.
If I were to give Pedro Divinity, then I'd have to rank up his Mana Burst and do all sorts of adjustments, because there's multiple citations in his sheet that say that his "divine" abilities are only a mockery compared to actual divine spirits.
