Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Lately there's been discussion of less typical offensive focuses, like missile weapons. Here's my challenge, if any of you are crazy enough to take it on. Run a character where your ONLY source of damage is STEEL SPINE enhancements. Details: * Before spines are available, you can kill things however you like. * Enemies that either do not have melee attacks (turrets, spawners, etc.) or will almost never use them (artila) can be dispatched by other means, as well. * Dominate (and other dominating effects) are NOT okay, as that defeats the purpose of the challenge. * Creations and NPCs are not in spirit, either (except as pacifist meatshields) (And no pyroroamer meatshields, kamikaze bombers are not pacifists) A Guardian is obviously best suited to this challenge, though you're free to use the other classes. You'll want to pump Endurance a lot, as well as Healing Craft, and probably some Blessing Magic. You'll also need Strength and Luck, for their stun resistance. You'll need a LOT of stun resistance, so pull out those Glaahk Shields and Impervious Bands! You'll also want to be careful what equipment you use your spines on, since they are in limited supply. Have, um, fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Are Ripostes allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Khoth Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Why allow the exceptions for pre-spines and for turrets etc? It's possible to win without killing anything, so why not just say you can't kill anything until you find your spines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 I want to say no ripostes, but not being able to pump parry could be a hassle. *shrug* Use your best judgment. Khoth has a good point. I suppose a true purist would not kill anything before getting spines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
