So, I've been really itching to do one of these for a while now. Since there doesn't seem to be any open FE 4 ones right now, I thought I'd make one myself (since it is my favorite FE after all! :3) This is a SOYO run for extra fun, so I assume we'll all go out of this hating each other with a passion. But that's okay!
So... Here are the generic rules for reference. I didn't really see any reason to change them, credit to Integrity who made them.
Drafting:
1. This draft is for 4 players. 2. Sigurd, Deirdre, Celice, Ardan, Oifaye and Julia are free for all to use. 3. When any mothers are drafted, their children come with them. Example: Drafting Ayra gives you Ayra, Lakche and Skasaher. Rules: 1. Undrafted units may only: Recruit characters, participate in Talk conversations and special events that do not require the participants to be lovers. 2. Undrafted units may not do anything not listed above, including but not limited to meatshielding, giving Charisma bonuses, using the Give command, or participating in Lover/Sibling criticals. 3. Other and Neutral units may do as they please without penalty. 4. Arena use is allowed and encouraged. Penalties: 1. Non-holy weapon users (Noish, Ayra etc.) have a 3 turn penalty per unit per castle. 2. Holy weapon users (Levin, Shanan etc.) and Dancers have a 7 turn penalty per unit per castle. Example: Using Noish (if undrafted) en route to Jungby results in a 3 turn penalty. Once Sigurd seizes Jungby, you take another 3 turn penalty if you use Noish while en route to Evans. 3. Using the Give command is a special 12 turn penalty. Exceptions: 1. Generation 1 units may lose a bout in the Arena and then die to an enemy while unequipped to prevent them getting married. The enemy must have no other friendly units in his attack range and must finish the character in a single round. 2. Briggid, Claude and Tiltyu are free to use in Chapter 3. 3. Dew may lower the bridge in Chapter 4 if undrafted. He may not perform any other disallowed actions without penalty. 4. Leaf, Fin and Janne are free to use in Chapter 7. 5. Shanan is free to use in Chapter 7 until Yied is seized. Teams:
