Challenge Idea: Crawling Against the Grain
Rules:
- Play as a Og, Tr, Ce, Ha, HE, DE, DD, Sp, Te or Vp.
- You may only train skills with an Apt. of -3 or lower OR a * [lowest apt in the game for that skill.]
- If all of these skills hit 27, you may then skill normally.
- You must also start with a background that exhibits primarily or only these skills you are bad at or a Wanderer.
Example: a Spriggan may train Fighting, UC, M&F, Polearms, Staves, Armour, Shields, and/or Conjurations. All other skills are locked. Suitable backgrounds would be Berserker, Fighter or Conjurer..
The hardest race for this is Centaurs; as they can only train Armour, Dodging, Stealth, Shields and Spellcasting.
Idea came out of repeated deaths trying to be a OgIE and wondering if it was possible to survive with -3 Apt or lower in your primary killdudes skill (or all your skills). I want to see someone pull it off; as I get the feeling most the successful bizarrely bad combo accents OgAs, for example; pulled it off by abandoning the background to play to the race. (Joining Trog at first availability and switching to maces in that case.)
