A character for the 'fling the bling' challenge. The goal is to complete
the
game, with a merchant using no attack, except for coin throwing. I used a
merchant that started with the 'potions' specialty, and was born in the
month of the raven.
There were the following restrictions. No ID visits (except to get the
first
4 exp. levels), no smithing, no pickpocketing, no precrowning, no casino
gold,
no praying, no saving, no piety abuse, and no intentional dragon gold
doubling
(some did occur, but not drastic). I also used no potions or wands to help
kill any enemies, bosses, or finish D:50.
I did however, use sickness and starvation scumming, to achieve relatively
high
willpower, toughness, and dexterity stats.
Full details about this adventure, can be read on the 'fling the bling'
thread,
on the HoF forum. This was not a perfect victory, I made a few mistakes
with
melee weapons. I also made a mistake by saccing the dwarftown deamon. Just
wasn't thinking.
