1st Level Experience Penalty

J the Red · Post by **J the Red** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 11:56 am

Hello all, sorry if this has been covered before,

Is it possible to remove the death penalty for first level characters? Perhaps I'm just easily frustrated at how easy it is to die at first level and lose some valued xp, especially if I'm playing a rogue or wiz/sorcerer type.

Cheers,

Fish

It is posible but won't happen. You just need to be more carefull. You loose 50 xp when respawning, thats 2 rats or maybe 3 if you got a +3 ecl char.

Playing classes with smaller hp totals usually mean that they're a bit more advanced to play. If you're not seasoned with the game or the module, then having a sorc as your first char might not be the smartest thing to do.

Try getting a simpler class (i don't mean weaker, just their tactics aren't as fleshed out) and level it to about 10, picking up trasure as you go. Send that money to a new char so he can buy all the lvl 1-4 gear immediately. It makes a difference.

Yeah, I've got a couple of high level characters. I just died a bunch in a row and got super frustrated. On the walk into school I realized that this post made me sound like a goober and I regret posting it.

Cheers,

well what I found is most people will run you around cause it helps thier xp as well...either that or they give you uber gear so you can take on harder creatures for more xp..Dying and trying to figure out a tactical way to kill an impossible creature is part of the fun..I have lost so much xp cause I am a stubborn Italian that wants to pay back the creature(s) that put me there..haha...Thanks for the fun and life outside of life lol.
