@semiticgod You want me to become a Dwarven Defender/Kensai/Assassin/Sorcerer? I thought I was supposed to end the game as a demi-god, not start as one
@wraith5641: Fine. Give yourself some restrictions and weaknesses to balance out the class. No magic items or weapons, no abjuration spells or Minute Meteors, -5 to THAC0 vs. hobgoblins, +1 to saves vs. wands, and you have to give all of your money to beggars. Also, no resting.
@semiticgod No potions, except healing. No magic weapons; any enemy that requires them to kill, you have to beat with arcane spells. No spells above level 6. One pip maximum in a certain proficiency.
Edit: In fact, screw it. Biff the Understudy difficulty :P
@wraith5641: Insane solo poverty. Beat Lavos at level 1 and seduce Dagoth Ur. Then play matchmaker for Dorn and @Buttercheese, and slip Pai'Na into their honeymoon. Tape every second.
Take a shot for every 10 XP. Construct a phylogeny of great cats. Dance like the wind! Fire at will! Moloch the stunned governments! Granite c**ks! Poetry! Get a Japanese citizenship! Ship Ghirahim and Spock! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexy hydrogen!
Eat the heart of Shakespeare, and the brains of Zhuangzi and the world's smartest jellyfish! Joyous and lifeless and still breathing out the ten hearts of men, the movement! Outlaws and inspiration, wide-eyed and glorious! Get a date with Eliza the Pickle Monster! To third base! It's worth it! Yes!
@wraith5641: Some of those were references... not all of them things anybody would recognize.
Lavok--Chrono Trigger, of course Dagoth Ur--Morrowind, still common knowledge Dorn, Buttercheese, Pai'Na--a little more obscure; it's a reference to the Shag, Marry, Kill thread Cat phylogeny--an old bio professor once pointed out that constructing a phylogeny of cats was crazy difficult because the substantive differences are molecular Moloch and granite c**ks--Alan Ginsberg's poem Howl Japanese citizenship--Japanese citizenship is almost impossible for a foreigner to get; it's there to minimize immigration into Japan Ghirahim and Spock--Ghirahim is from Skyward Sword, and as a straight man, even I think he deserves aggressive and shameless shipping across dimensions Zhuangzi--the guy wrote the Book of Zhuangzi, famous for prancing along the Yellow River and shouting that he was a butterfly Jellyfish--don't actually have any brains to eat Eliza the Pickle Monster--an oblong green water balloon thingy I got at some point, and which my brother and his girlfriend together named Eliza the Pickle Monster. She's cute and goofy-looking.
@semiticgod Hahahaha well, it would have been extremely bizarre if I'd have recognized 'Eliza the Pickle Monster.' I might have tried to blag it and go "Ahhhhh yes, I remember that one! Oh, the days of good ol' Eliza <33333333"

And pick a dwarf for the saving throw bonuses. That way you can start out as a Dwarven Defender.
Because resting is cheesy.
