Advice on strategy for a Wizard

[tiadashi]

I play every supposedly useless class in the game and dont have any trouble finding groups in fact I cant think of a time i was turned down ever when I asked a group that wasnt full -

Play whatever you find fun, let the spreedsheet people have fun their way thats what makes games so great 8)

This game is 18 years ago. If you wanna play "hard mode", play hard mode. Don't let the forum folks convince you not to play Wizard if you wanna play Wizard.

I just started my Wizard myself, as a perma-death character (if I die, I delete), I expect its going to be a hell of a journey [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Small guild of like-minded folks if you wanna join and give it a go, just a side guild for this specific play style.

No twinking, if you die, you die, doesn't matter how, random race and character selection via dice rolls. Guild is <No Time To Rez>.

Neat idea, but seems like it would be a pain in the butt to get retagged every time.

I didn't have any trouble getting groups on my wizard a few years back until the 50's. Had to be a serious social butterfly and form lasting friendships with folks to get steady groups after that. However that's kind of the point of this game so basically don't be bad :P

Thats only a problem if you die. Get good!

Sorta kidding, but it is true. Be more cautious. If I were to make it to level 11 on a wizard like this I would definitely reconsider trying to strafe quad kite giant scarabs across the whole of EC.

This has really peaked my interest and something I was tossing around doing at one point.

Back when I played 4th Edition Dungeon and Dragons, I created an entire Random Character Selection via D20 dice rolls. Everything was random from Race/Class/Specialization of specific classes.

I have just recently started creating another Random Character Selection spreadsheet for P99 Character creation. Will update soon when I finish. My plan is to make everything random based on dice rolls (I would like to use D20, but may end up with some percentile die rolls), including Race/Starting Location, and even diety!

Be back with my results soon!

There are guilded mules in every starting city to talk care of this.
