Diablo 2 Personz
Rules for the Shacknews Low Level Random Tournament, in reply!
Thread Truncated. Click to see all 28 replies.
1. Hardcore only, you can play Single Player or Battle.net as preferred.
2. Class chosen randomly, 1-7:
1-Amazon
2-Assassin
3-Barbarian
4-Druid
5-Necromancer
6-Paladin
7-Sorceress
There will be an option to reroll your class if you aren’t happy with what you get, the rerolling option will be explained later.
3. Skills are chosen randomly as follows. At level one, a skill will be randomly selected from those available at the time. This skill will then receive the next three skill points. Once these points have been placed, another skill will be randomly selected from those now available, the next three skill points will go into here, and so on. The exception to this is if a skill would be maxed within the three points. In this case, the remaining skill points OF THE THREE can be placed in a skill of the player’s choosing. For example, if you are a Paladin, and have Slvl 18 Smite, and your next random skill turns out to be Smite, the next two points must be placed in Smite, and the third point can be placed in any skill you have access to at that time. As with the class selection, there will be an option to reroll.
4. Any skills can be used, including those obtained through +skills, charges, and etc.
5. Items can be muled off, and back on. You may only mule items on that were found by this character.
6. All quests do not need to be completed, and all waypoints do not need to be activated. However, points are given for quests and waypoints, so it is to your benefit to do them.
7. Points will be awarded as follows:
Quests: (100-Clvl)*act#*2
Waypoints: (100-Clvl)*act#
Clvl is your level when you complete the quest or activate the waypoint. If a quest causes you to gain a level (or more) use your Clvl immediately prior to completing the quest. Act# is the number of the act you are in, plus 5 for nightmare, and 10 for hell.
8. Ranking will be based on highest point total. Ties will be broken as follows: If all in the tie reach Guardian, then whoever reaches Guardian first wins. In a tie anyone who reaches Guardian is above those who do not reach Guardian. If none reach Guardian, then whoever has completed the most quests/activated the most waypoints wins; and if there is still a tie, then whoever completes their last quest/waypoint first wins. The time of completion will be based on posting time of the accomplishment.
9. I will make at least one daily chatty post where progress updates should be posted. All updates should include your Clvl at the completion of each quest/waypoint for the score sheet. If you do not post your Clvl, you will get no points for completion. I will attempt to keep scores updated at least daily.
10. Prizes. Unless someone wants to donate something, the only prize is the undying love and respect of the Shacknews community. Maybe I'll throw you a [lol] or something.
11. Rerolls. Every player will be allowed 10 rerolls. These rerolls can be used for one of three things:
1. If you don’t like your class at start, you can use 1 reroll to try again.
2. If you get a skill you don’t want to put points into at the moment, you can use 1 reroll to try again.
3. If you die, you can use 3 rerolls to start a new character. You start over completely, with a score of 0, except for the rerolls that you have already used.
13. The tournament will continue until everyone reaches Guardian, dies and doesn’t have enough rerolls to start over or chooses not to, or stops playing. If no updates are posted for a week or so the tournament will end.
14. No MP or item trading.
15. You may use any /players x setting you want (for SP characters - I guess realm characters can add extra non-partied players and have them sit in town for the same effect), as well as any equipment/mercenary.
16. The tournament begins immediately. Players may sign up in the chatty threads at any time until the tournament ends, though the sooner you join the better.
17. Have fun, and don't cheat. The whole point of this tournament is to take the random crap you get, make a semi-functional character out of it, and then brag about how your hardcore necromancer killed Diablo with a Clay Golem and Teeth.
