Roll Build Permadeath Guild "Toy Soldiers PD" planning weekly PD runs, recruiting

[RTFM]

If you roll a multiclass with three classes, must you use each of those classes at lvls 1,2, and 3 or can you hold off till later?
Thanks.

Well, you can roll it however you like. You can take levels as you see fit, no specific order or number of each classes.

A bit of background for you, originally we started rolling toons lvl 1, then roll for your next class, then roll for next, then roll for your next, at each level up. But, this proved to almost guarantee to gimp most toons because:

1. You had no clue what your next two classes would be when you allocated your starting stats, skills and feats;
2. You had no clue as to what your 3rd class would be when you got your 2nd class;
3. The probabilities of being pure (or 2 class) were extremely low (if not impossible);
4. Your class level splits were all based on rolls, and not at all a build strategy so this made 99.99% of toons gimped. We had a lot of complaints although this was also very fun in its own way

So, yes, you can multiclass but have to roll for the build. You can spread your classes out how you like considering you know your classes before you make your toon. I honestly suggest that everyone running TRY a pure before even attempting to roll multiclass.

Also, the whole point of this experiment is to have multiple toons, keep them alive, and see what sticks!

I think we should buy a ship and the Chronoscope buff. I have several platcapped characters on Wayfinder and I can easily sponsor this endeavor. I'll try to log on during the fixed times during the weekend and maybe discuss this online.

Your generosity is much welcome. But, we have not decided whether to actually ever make a guild ship with buffs. Come join us on the weekend event, roll up a toon. It would be awesome to be a lvl 200 guild with no ship and buffs...???

What level you gimps at now? Hope it's not too late you join you guys as I just started doing something similar to this on Khyber.

I was on less than 1 hour ago and lots at level 4 and new people joining so easy to start new toons and join - just be careful of mimics, this events makes low level undergeared toons very susceptible to deaths...

[Jevern]

I've got a couple toons all starting with Je or Ja. Have an officer toon too so can send invites when RL isn't crushing me under an insanely heavy workload.

Just rolled and created:

Thanatopsis Emrys

1: Male
1: Dwarf
4: Cleric
1: Lawful Good
No Multiclass, as this is my first character (good suggestion)

So pretty straightforward, except I've never really played a Cleric....lol

This will be fun. I'll hop on soon, set the hotbars and send an in-game message for a guild invite. I'm really looking forward to this.

Should I skip Snowy Side Korthos?

[Myrddinman]

Thanks for the invite!

[RTFM]

Thanks for the invite!

Clerics and FVS are going to be huge help, we ran to lvl 4 earlier today and I have high hopes for my Drow FVS to make it to 20!

I'm glad you rolled a cleric! Having healers for these groups is a major plus! Hope you enjoy it, clerics are great fun to play. See you in 3 hours hopefully we have 2-3 full parties running around on our first scheduled run!

Yeah, I figured it was pretty fortuitous that the dice rolled that way. I'm enjoying some coffee now and will be hopping-in soon

It was a fun filled day ... Had a couple or re-rolls too :-)

Was nice to see a total of 11 (or maybe even 12) players online tonight at TOY SOLDIERS PD ... Awesome !!!!

See you all later throughout the week.

Indeed...good times

Only a handful of deaths (Mimics), and all near a shrine

I was able to play in 2 different groups, which was great.

Thanks for all the fun!

Yes was fun, thanks for joining. We had "Crimson Eagles PD" join us Now we are wondering how many other Khyber guilds are going to wander over and make a PD variant on Wayfinder? Just in case we started the channel KHYBERPD on Wayfinder.

Tomorrow AM several of us are going to start with Iconics at lvl 15 (although we may stop at lvl 12 on the way and do a Tempest Spine run). I already rolled a PDK ftr/ranger in prep. See you all Sunday morning!

[Ahmber_PinkFloyd]

met the guys from "Crimson Eagles PD" ... and i have to mention - those guys are hard - very hardcore
it's no Problem to jump in lev 3 elite quest with an lev 2 toon. those guys love to look death in the eye.
was great fun.

... and then the bloodbath with redfang the unruled. 4 of 6 gone the way to heaven (u know where the slightly dressed virgins waiting)
to be true - redfang was an whelp .... but his tricky traps brought us nearly down.

**** hidden shrine as last to say.

cya all

Having a great time.

Had situations where I had to make rulings, and since I was an officer, I just thought and spoke.
{I'll stand by them, but let your own and others decide your ways.}


Q: Can I use Vet I / Vet II?

IMHOwcbw: Yes, since we are allowed iconics.


Q: Can I use hirings?

IMHOwcbw: Yes, if you buy them from a vendor. It is an "ect" in the rules.


Q: Can I craft with cannith crafting?

IMHOwcbw: Yes, as long as you don't use DDO store to get ingrediants/potions.


Q: Can I turn in collectables?

IMHOwcbw: Yes, since they are vendors.


Q: Can I mail items?

IMHOwcbw: Yes, that is like trading between guildies.


Q: Can I retreat out of quest if I am afraid of dying?

A from leaders: Yes.

IMHOwcbw: Its a matter of honor, but yes you could. Honestly try to save others before recalling. Some permadeath systems don't allow this.


Q: If I manage to TR can I choose my new classes instead of rerolling

IMHOwcbw: Good question. One could say, not character creation, therefore immune. One suggestion was if you rolled you could exclude your past lives from the rolling.


Q: My party was in a quest, which we failed. Part of the party was dead, however the situation was such that the party felt we could have raised them up easily. However, since the quest failed, we were booted from the quest. Everyone found themselves outside alive. Does this force deletions of toons.

IMHOwcbw: Reading rules carefully, no you don't need to delete. Looking at a pnp DM point of view, a DM would have played the quest out, allowing the rescue. Although it could be considered a gray area, I ruled not deleting. Quest was stealthy, 2 toons alive and an active hire. I was alive and definately could have worked my way to the dead. Shrine was already opened.


Q: I am grouping with someone using different permadeath rules than I. Do I have to use their rules?

IMHOwcbw: Abide by your own/guild rules. Each player is going to have a bit of difference particularly grouping with other PD guilds.


Q: Can I pike in a quest?

IMHOwcbw: If the party is comfortable with it and you don't make a habit of it, yes. Like any other questing.

so here goes my 1st toon...

after that, checked the meaning of the values and, well, i was supposed to take another 2 screenshots that can't find lol

after checking the values, i saw that my 3rd class pick was bard, so had to reroll, next class was 10, ranger
also noticed later that my alignment roll was wrong, it should be max 1d2 cause monk was my 1st class, so ended being a 2, lawful neutral

so i created a warforged monk that went wis based, then took 2 ranger lvls for twf (because my dex sucks obviously lol) and... i'm quite lost right now, took zen archery as lvl 3 feat because i'm not sure if i will go melee or not, not sure about the leveling order yet, im assuming that my rogue lvl/lvls will be the last ones to take rofl

lots of thoughts and things i wanna do and wanna be, most time i'm thinking "gonna die now, gonna reroll" but i'm not lucky, at all, came with a guildie from thelanis who ended rolling a cleric... drow maybe? and we only can open norm so... not sure if we will die at some point, did not too many quests n/h/e, when we could, because cannith crystal we couldn't keep the crystal, after the 3rd mob it was banged XD

btw silver post solved some questions i had in mind

if we survive a bit more, guess we'll beg for invites!

btw, almost 1k pp!!! guess i should start buying some repair pots

We are allowed multiple toons, so if you don't like a toon badly, its ok to just delete it.
Obviously jumping off high places is not against the rules, so giving up is ok.

Its fun to try out new builds, like Fawnsfolly is a elf ranger and its fun.

if we survive a bit more, guess we'll beg for invites!

you don't need to screen shot rolls, but posting the toon's name is great way to get a guild invite mailed to you

btw, almost 1k pp!!! guess i should start buying some repair pots

lol, affording heals is such a big moment

{or in her case actually being able to buy arrows ?!?}

[Silverleafeon]

Only a handful of deaths (Mimics), and all near a shrine

Mimic got me today too.
LOL, thank goodness for friends and shrines....

Indeed! The best advice I heard this weekend was, "we should probably open the shrine first" before making a run at the Skeletal Mage in Sacrifices
