Hey Guys,

I am not a speedrunner of this game but this is my favorite game of all time. My brother and I do nuzlocke drafts of characters in this game to make it fun and interesting. We set some rules and tiers for each character for both human and non human campaigns. We have a blast doing this so I wanted to share with everyone here. I am going to copy paste the notes below. Please let me know how it goes for you!

RADIATA STORIES HUMAN SIDE DRAFT PLAY

RULES: -Run starts when Jack first gains access to the friends list. Save files starting here are fine. -Run ends upon defeat of the silver dragon. Postgame dungeon is optional.

• Weapon choice is random.
• Must complete human side of the campaign
• Only can use drafted characters in party (unless you need someone specific that requires someone in the party. Then the undrafted character must be removed.) -Characters that die in battle are dead forever and must be removed immediately. -Party must consist of no more than one character from each respective guild. Royal Knights count as Vancoor members. -Resurrection items are banned in battle. All other items are permitted. -Only one god tier character per party. -Banned characters cannot be used. -No fighting/healing capability characters can be used by anyone. -Non-human characters are banned. -Strong from start is banned. -Rocky is considered an olacion order character. -Cecil/Aiden are considered one character to recruit. If this character is drafted, that person loses one draft pick in same tier since it is a 2 for 1.

DRAFT TOOL: https://pickerwheel.com/ -Copy paste each tier into "inputs" one at a time. Each player takes turns spinning the wheel to draft a character at random. Once the character is drafted, remove it from the pool. -Repeat for each tier, once all characters are drafted. Those are the only characters a player can use.
