Kool69's "Straight and Narrow" Tournament

Ooooh, looks like it's time for my first tournament!

As with my forum username, inspiration came from a Sunday night Looney Tunes festival (an odd, yet refreshing, replacement for football).

NAME: ShropshireSlasher
CLASS: Barbarian
SKILLS: 3 Combat Skills, 1 Combat Mastery, 1 WarCry
WEAPON: Maces and Such

Great goodness, anything but Energy - because I can smell a skill re-roll already :wink:

(EDIT: changed c.skills/c.mastery distribution as I originally had intended, 3-1...sorry for brain-fart)
 
I shouldn't play while working...

second (and last) update for Gia (R.I.P.)

lvl 12, outer cloister wp, all quest up to the malus (not completed)

Careless playing. I've had a NDE with the smith, drinked all (4) the potions with him, but I've managed to kill him. I was with like 10-20 life left, I've picked up the malus and opened the inv to put some potions in the belt. Bam! a blood/moon clan that was left from the previous room appeared...you know the rest: your deeds....

Well, got past Andy with no trouble at all. I love tournaments, because you always learn *something*: in this case, I wasn't aware you could gamble chain mail in act 1. My first attempt rolled me a mediocre rare... no great stats, but far far better than going naked. So at this point, the only piece of gear I lack is a helmet... later in act 2, I ought to be able to gamble circlets (or if I'm lucky, maybe one will even drop for me).

Of course, Andy dropped nothing useful at all... a few junky rares, and nothing I'm permitted to equip.
 
Table realigned and updated.

Trinity mopped the Chaos Sanctuary's floor with Diablo and reached Act 5. Fists of Fire is just brutal even against fire resistant enemies. I must level big time. Level 26 is too early for Act 5, even with maxed Fists of Fire.

Unless I'm too late to join, I'll roll stuff and post it here when I get home in ~1 hour. I realize this is sorta against the theme of "someone else rolls for you" (and if someone posts a roll in the meantime, I'll certainly go with it) but I'm eager to get the Slasher going!

Kool or DM, if you would be so kind as to roll for me. I'm making a sin named Melisandra. I'd like the skills to go to traps (3) and shadow (2). My weapon of choice will be something in the mace/maul class. It probly states it in the rules, but I just want to make sure I know. Playing an Assassin, if I find claws with a +skill to something I'm not allowed to put points in, I'm not allowed to use it from the claw correct? And I can use 2 claws provided both are from the chosen type? I'll be able to play tonight so I should be able to update then. I can't do the table thing, so someone else is going to have to add me. Thanks all.

Concerning the claws and other class items. Say you gain a +2 TS from your claw but it is not one of your prefered skills, then no you may not use it. Claws and other class items that grant pluses to PASSIVE SKILLS MAY ONLY BE USED when the claw has one or more +skills that are one of your PREFERED SKILLS. So say you have two claws, one grants + 1 BoS + 2 Claw Mastery, the second just grants + 2 Claw Mastery. Since BoS (hypothetically) is one of your prefered skills, you may equip the first claw, however you may not equip the second claw because it is not one of your prefered skills.

Equipment of Choice:
Circlet
Breast Plate
Plated Belt
Light Plated Boots
Light Gauntlets
Gothic Shield
Cestus (sp?)
Maul

Skills of Choice:
Fire Blast
Wake of Inferno (sp?)
Wake of Fire
CoS
Shadow Master

Stat of Choice:
Dexterity

Danke for de roll...and no danke for de items - a little TOO act-1 friendly. A mulligan on the gear, please!

Even if I don't like nat.resist and war cry as much as others in their trees, I just know I'll get leap/stun/dswing if I ask for a skill re-reroll...

I find all the rolls to be acceptable. Wish it was Vit and not Dex, but I'll take it. I just want to make sure I understand about claws. I can use any vanilla cestus (and higher versions) or any non vanilla that has at least one of my skills on it? Would it be okay if I used a Cestus with Tiger Strike on it provided I didn't use the Tiger Strike? I don't want to break the rules, but I want to give myself every advantage possible. My last question has to do with the imbue quest reward. I plan on leaving it undone till I'm high level. Is it against the rules to start nightmare without using the imbue (and socket for that matter) and not take the points for them, until I go back and do them? Or do I have to "complete" the quest before continueing to the next difficulty? Also, didn't see it mentioned, do we have to complete the cow level? I'm aiming to survive till act 3. Wish me luck.

Aye, I'm just requiring that one of your prefered skills be on it so that passive skills are not greatly abused. However if it just has TS on it, and seeing as how its not one of your prefered skills, you are free to use the claw as long as you don't use TS. Good luck and hope this answers your question!

A roll of the dice and you are bestowed with new preferences! (Or maybe you just changed you mind. Either one really. ;)

Cap

Right... bzzzzt, my paladin is wel on his way, having reached act 2.
Getting pretty close to a full set of gear too. Having to do most of act one with starter gear and sacrifice is fun....

I managed to find a nice targe with holes in it and gamble up a flail and some light gauntlets, so andy went down without trouble (except for my merc :P)

Act 2 brought me a flail with two holes, and fortunately for me I happened to have two runes in my stash: Tir and El, so steel was forged.
After slaughtering radamant I prceeded to do some gambling.
Lo and behold, after a few tries a circlet shows up...
(never knew you could get those at 21...

Just the armour, belt (grrr... martyrs use lots of potions...) and boots to go

Since I wont have patience enough to play with a char with no real killing skill until lvl30 Id like a skill mulligan.

A roll of the die (I think it's starting to get chipped up from all the rerolls) grants you new skills!

Skills of Choice:
Fire Blast
Wake of Fire (Or Destruction, whatever it is)
Wake of Inferno
Weapon Block
Fade
 
Bleh R.I.P. Raven my Druid. Shows that Ravens + Oak Sage are not good tanks when you get swarmed by the Hell Clan in the Tower... Meh, he wasn't even far enough to really get into and didn't really have enough points to even be put on the table.... Would anyone mind me creating another character? I can't believe I let this guy die off so fast, but then again, Druids have never been my strong point...
 
R.I.P Trinity. She fought her very best but that pack of Frenzytaurs was just too much for her and her Shadow Master....and her leather armor. If only I had ressurected my mercenary after the Ancients, I might have lived on!

Well, got my cube, and killed Rady. In the Black Tower (rune-hunting for Stealth armor), this nice little unusable item dropped:

Gull
Dagger
One-Hand Damage: 2 to 19
Durability: 8 of 16
Required Level: 4
Dagger Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 10
Fingerprint: 0xdc29e466
-5 to Mana
+1 to Minimum Damage
+15 to Maximum Damage
100% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

Oh well, wrong tournament :) Muled it off for safe keeping.

Other than that, I gambled some terrific gloves... definitely keepers for quite a long while:

Havoc Knuckle
Light Gauntlets
Defense: 9
Durability: 18 of 18
Required Strength: 45
Required Level: 9
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 23
Fingerprint: 0x6762ee7d
+1 to Dexterity
Fire Resist +19%
Lightning Resist +17%
Poison Resist +16%
5% Chance to cast Level 3 Frost Nova when struck

Those resists were desperately needed, and the frost nova will be a nice little help too.
 
So umm... I'm guessing no one objects to me creating another character? Yay or nay? If it's cool could someone roll me up a Assassin 3-2 Shadow D./Martial. Please and thank you!
