So if you choose to do pauper, you can augment the difficulty by +1 - if you have all stats below 9 (and im sure more bragging rights).
Could be abit nuts, but i guess thats what challenges are for

As long as it isn't Perception. A common strategy is to get Perception up as far as possible to the start for Mage types. It decreases difficulty, if anything.mortification8 wrote:Idiot Savant: All starting attribute points must be placed in 1 value only (+1 difficulty)
I agree. Also, on the endurance point, if you want to try and beat the game as 'pauper', my opinion is that the best build may well be a warrior (to get the swords 1 by default) with maximised endurance at level 1 and then a focus on pumping it up to around 40 quite quickly. HP, unlike MP, don't need any skills to maximise their effectiveness.Josia wrote:As long as it isn't Perception.

I haven't heard anyone talk about doing the same with Endurance, but I would similarly disqualify Endurance for this challenge nonetheless.
When I did this (running to Blackwater first thing) I needed a potion of Haste to make it through one particular group of thugs / mercenaries. I would be pretty impressed if you could make it without a similar purchased boost, excepting getting lucky and finding one.Necromis wrote:Survivorman is realitively easy, too. After all you have to do is run to Blackwater while first/second level. AT least the way it is written.
There is no town (and hence no villagers) in the map which I am referring to. I certainly made full advantage of this when stopping in Bordertown, but the Barrea Mercenary and his group are much harder to avoid.Necromis wrote:that is easy. Run to border town, or darkford, let the towns people do most of the killing. That is how I did it getting over there at low level.
