Live Blogs Is there a Draft in here? Why yes, there is. A Fire Emblem related one no less.

This is the start of my part of the TV Tropes Fire Emblem Draft competition! This little game consists of six people consecutively choosing characters to use in a file. After a character is chosen, they cannot be used by anyone else. The six people (Barrylocke, Hnd 03, Jonnas N, Xiphonii, Montagohalcyon, and myself) each chose our six units to use in Hector Normal Mode, and now we all play through the game, putting little reviews of the chapters either into personal liveblogs, such as this one, or into reviews on the Fire Emblem Draft topic. The characters I've drafted are:

Hector (usable by everyone)

Rebecca

Lowen

Dorcas

Raven

Jaffar

Renault

Athos (usable by everyone)

Matthew can be used by everyone for thief based purposes, but can't fight, and Legault is allowed to steal one certain item in the map he joins on. Otherwise, there is a +4 turn penalty if you use an undrafted character to fight. Marcus can be used by everyone up until chapter 15.

We then go through the game and compete to see who can get the lowest total turn count in all of the chapters. We will all go through all of the Gaiden chapters except for 23x and 19xx, and while 28x is necessary to do, it does not count towards our turn count.

I've made my tactician, named simply Alfric, and with a Fire affinity. I will get the first episode up shortly.

I never considered that room Jerme's in might be his slaughterhouse...creepy.

Brave Sir Lowen, protecting Rebecca...I like how they keep teaming up on bosses. Amazing how he got that 1% critical when he hadn't eaten breakfast like he chides Eliwood about.

I had the same problem getting that last treasure with Matthew. I think it's just a Hero Crest though.

What are Dorcas' stats? I'm curious how he compares to Bartre. I've never really tried using Warriors as bowmen before; it's surprisingly effective. Two secret books + massive CON mean he can hit as accurately as a sniper but much harder (steel bow), or alternatively critical everything with a short bow.

Currently my Dorcas is at level 17 (with 99 exp grr), and his stats are 60 hp, 23 str, 25 skill, 17 speed, 15 luck, 13 def, and 8 res. He isn't doing too badly, but he seems to have been screwed in strength and speed a bit. His skill is where I think it should be or better though, and he hasn't even used any secret books, if I remember correctly.

And about the teaming up one him, I decided to use that weird "enemy circles your unit before attacking them" thing, since it happened to work out that way. The 1% critical was hilarious though, as it came out of nowhere and destroyed what little was left of Jermes health.
