First Character Guide

[Lexi]

In post 3 "As a human warrior with 0 experience penalty I'll be fighting other players similar to my level or below me. As an elf paladin with 1000 experience penalty I'll have to fight other players my level or above.".

Elf paladin has 850 experience penalty.

Shatter is not the warm-up spell used before a powerword kill. Death grasp is.

"If your statistics are maxed you can get 10 extra health, 15 extra mana, or 25 extra move points that are permanent, too. They can convert into 10 practices and 10 practices can become 1 train."

At the top of this page.

It's +20 mana per train. Checked 3 weeks ago. Don't know about moves.

By the way. Exelent work.

[Twinblades713]

I'm almost positive moves is 30 per train.

[a-guitarist]

Yeah, god damn him for having a few errors in something that probably took him a long while to make, and did for no compensation.

I say he did a great job, and deserves a hearty pat on the back for this. This will help a lot of new players out.

[Lexi]

Yes. Let's not let him know when we find errors in the guide, especially since he asked us to do it.

[corpsestomp]

I didn't read it word-for-word, but it looks well thought-out and in-depth. Well done.

Also, you should consider putting in a bit about descriptions, if you haven't already, and maybe specific helpfiles, such as tour(and tour2/3/etc.)

One last thing, I'm pretty sure newbie channel was bumped to 15.

[Mattamue]

I'm trying to dream up a more graph-like way of showing the common information for each race. If anyone can think of something to show alignment, exp penalty, and stats in a neat little box let me know. If you can figure out a better way to describe the exp penalty that'd be a bonus. I feel like how I tried to describe each penalty it is a little confusing and ambiguous.

[mya]

Something like this ?

[mya]

???

Bah!!! Cant place the image correctly...

[a-guitarist]

That's how I would have made one look Mya. However, I would have spelled Invoker right. (No "c")

[Guest Valganti]

That graph is all wrong.

Good work Matt, moved to essay section. If any changes need to be made, you can PM me.

[mya]

Of course its wrong, it was just to give an idea for the table.

Anyhow i decided to fix it. That way i can use it with my (never finished) Class/Weapon table.

Here it is the corrected one. (As far as i could see.)

Edit: Removed Druids, due to 97.7kb file zise limit.

If you anyone interested in the excel file for saving time on a new table say something, that i post it.

[Mattamue]

That's a nice graph, mya. I had something smaller in mind that would accompany each race. As it is now with the lines there's no expected place for the information. Creating familiarity with a small graph makes the information intuitive and easily understood after the first table or two you read. Something easy with BBCode.

[mya]

I cannot understand you. Can you rephrase ?

[Lexi]

I means there's too much information, and that new players would miss a lot of the information because it's cramped together without any further explanations. It would be better to split it up, like one graph for each race, making it more consistent.

Something like that (I think).

Dwarf

(Good) (Neutral) Evil

Max Str: 21 Int: 18 Wis: 21 Dex: 18 Con: 25

325 exp penalty. Fighting other levels: [ -8 -6 -4 (-2 0 +2 +4 +6) +8 ]

Human

Good Neutral Evil

Max: Str: 20 Int: 20 Wis: 20 Dex: 20 Con: 20 (with 21 in main class stat)

0 exp penalty. Fighting other levels: [ -8 -6 -4 -2 0 +2 +4 +6 +8 ]

Drow

Evil

Max: Str: 18 Int: 24 Wis: 20 Dex: 24 Con: 16

500 experience penalty, you have to fight level 50 characters @ 42.

None of it looks right. Maybe I should stop nitpicking over every detail and work on another guide.

Duergar

Good

Neutral

Evil

Gnome

• A gnome can only be neutral.
• 150 experience penalty, fighting a lower or a little higher leveled characters.
• Max: Str: 18 Int: 23 Wis: 25 Dex: 18 Con: 18

Ever considered doing a ranking guide ?

What to do and what to hunt.

Ranking tips and armor tips.

The importance of Tamara quests.

:eek: :eek: BLASPHEMY! BURN THE NON-BELIEVER.

It's okay, Aulian. It's okay. Everyone goes through the heart ache of never seeing a loved one again. But think of the good times, like those 3AM foggy eyed and mind searches to refresh yourself of the exp penalty. Forgetting the skill list, and having it right there for you to peruse.

And just because it prefers the company of those blokes in the Recycling bin doesn't reflect on you. Files change. And if it wants to be with last weeks porn collection, or that essay you wrote for Freshmen Lit I, let it be there. Just remember, you'll find a new file someday. There are plenty of Files in the C:.

[Guest emp_newb]

trains are

10 hp

I have NO idea for mvs, what newb does that?

[corpsestomp]

Corpsestomp whistles, looking up into the air, and scuffing his feet on the ground.

[Mattamue]

When does shaman/healer conversion happen? Lvl 25? Lvl 30? Anywhere between and including lvl 25 and 30?

[Twinblades713]

Last I heard, it's 25th rank or 30th rank, but no other rank before, in between, or after. I've personally done it at 25th rank so I know that's possible. I wanted to make sure, so I didn't wait till 30.

[corpsestomp]

em chuckles at Mattamue.
