- Old Gods of Chaos Tournament -
In Sanctuary, angels & demons wage wars against each others. But they are not alone, ancient beings before and after their times are lurking behind the scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intro:
About me:
Yes I realize this is a little early, my Cyberpunk Tournament is still well alive and only 3 weeks old. However, part of the designs presented here comes from various project I do outside of Diablo and so this tournament was brewing in the back of my mind for a while. Also I have time at this moment to actually write it up and do the images, which I wont have very soon (I have my marriage on the 27th and after that uni restarts, so I will have some time to play but not put this all up together).
My personal goal with this tournament is to make it as fun, large and unique as possible. Since I like to do themed builds, and so does a bunch of you guys, I hope this is yet another opportunity to do that. I've taken care to include some mechanics to make it appealing possibly to people who want to try weird things and also to people who want to participate while still enhancing their collection of items. This is also why the endgame is bigger and the items permitted includes a lot of expensive crafts.

This is also why the endgame is bigger and the items permitted includes a lot of expensive crafts.
The Tournament:
Characters created in this tournament are strongly tied to a theme. However, that theme should be flexible enough for everyone to make something they like. Even the hardcore farmers may find a way to spice up their runs.
Old Gods: Players will choose a God when creating a character. Doing so will add additional options, modify rules for their characters, and greatly change their overall experience.
Talents: The second step of creating a character is choosing between various talents to customize the character further.
Legacy: The legacy system is basically a long term plan for your characters and God. Even after their death, your characters may still be useful. It also helps to plan for expensive and exotic builds, making them possible over time. Players who wish to team up may also find this system useful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basic Rules:
- Hardcore or Softcore, but moved to Legacy retirement on first death. Softcore should be used (see Legacy below).
- Retirement is possible (if you want to reroll or for whatever reason). Also moved to Legacy on retirement.
- RWM/RRM may be used.
- Diablo version is up to you. Use whatever you want, make sure to tell us. Some version may be interesting for specific Gods.
- Stats. There is no rule regarding stats allocations unless specified otherwise by a God.
- Multiplayer permitted. Characters of different allegiance may duel. Characters of the same allegiance may trade.
- Player settings can be modified to suit your needs (/p).
- Buying/Gambling permitted en encouraged.
- Replays are allowed (and even encouraged) but not of act bosses. Any other area is fair game.
- Muling is permitted but some rules needs to respected (see Legacy below).
- Respec is not allowed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legacy
Each character you create that shares a God's allegiance will be part of a legacy, which mean that they will share their story, even if not in the same timeline. Each character should be viewed as a cultist part of a grander story. With proper backstory, you can even make a family line if you want.
Concretely, this means that muling is allowed with the following rules:
- Make a stash for your God and mule whatever you want there from a cultist of this tournament aligned with that God.
- Use your God's stash for any cultists you have aligned with the same God.
- You may have multiple character active at the same time, provided that they serve the same God.
- If you wish to create cultists aligned with other Gods, you should create new stashes accordingly, as they do not share the same Legacy.
- In the event of death or retirement of your cultist, you may retrieve his/her items and move them to the appropriate God stash. (Yes, your god's influence can only grow.) Keep in mind that dead HC characters shouldn't be stripped from gear as per the forum rule. This is why SC is optimal for this Tournament.
- Keep scores of every character you use in the code section. However, their points do not stack, only your highest counts towards “winning”.
Of course, you can mule things out of this tournament completely if you wish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duration
I do not intend to give this Tournament any fix duration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scoring, & Rewards
+ 2 point per Quest done.
+ 5 points for completing Normal.
+ 10 point for completing Nightmare.
+ 10 points for completing Hell.
Any character who finishes Hell also grants 10 permanent points to his god. (Even if the characters dies, the God will retain those 10 points). Also, he may choose a Locked Talent and unlock it for everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winning
Players will have an influence over Sanctuary directly tied to their God. As such, this tournament as an ongoing winner at all times: the God who's cultist has the highest score. If two players are tied for highest, their level will determine the current winner. If there is a tie for highest score/level, then the next highest characters are considered (and so on).
The ultimate goal is to have your God sitting at the top, dominating the tournament. And also to have fun and possibly a great Legacy that tells an interesting story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All characters: Cultists
Skills:
+ Cultist may put points into any of their passives & synergies of their class.
(Synergies can't be used themselves if not permitted by their God & talents).
+ Cultists may use any skills permitted by their God & talents, either from their skill-tree, charges or gained from items.
Basic equipment:
+ All cultists may begin with muled in items from their Legacy*. This also includes The Horadric Cube. Of course the first character of each player will start with nothing muled in.
Items:
+ That can be used by all:
- All consumable potions.
- All scrolls, keys.
- All gems, runes and jewels.
- All quest items.
- Any normal (white, no sockets): Cap, Quilted Armor, Leather Gloves, Boots, Sash.

These Talents are not usable until Tournament players unlock them. Every time someone becomes a Guardian, he chooses a Talent from this list to add to the regular pool of talent, making it available for any new cultist, of anyone.
These talents are more "niche" and shouldn't have a major impact. See them as a nice way to customize your future cultists and add a chance of doing very specific builds that you may have in mind.

Background:
For the sake of keeping the code light, you should present your choices when creating your character. This way, you do not need to include all the talents chosen in the code.
Also, if I've forgotten anything or things aren't clear enough, feel free to ask and I will edit and update.
I will update the code with Gods permanent points when we get there.

Additional information:
+ Cube upgrading recipes:
If an item allowed by your God or talent is upgraded with the Cube recipes (ex: 1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon) the new item will be allowed as-well.
For example, you may upgrade Xiu-Matesh Demonhide allowed equipment to their elite version and still wear them.
