GRPD Random Roll Competition

I wasn't sure whether to put this in Mods or General, but it's not really a mod so I figured this would be the place to stick this.

So here's the rules, you play on GRPD and you have 7 tries. You have to take random stats and then you see how far you go. Simple. There's 2 overall scoring categories: The score of all 7 plays combined, and the score of your top 3 runs. Hopefully some of you are up for the challenge! (You can post what 7 skills you ended up with per build if you'd like but that is optional.)

I'm on my 6th run right now but I'll edit with my scores once I'm done.

1st Roll:
Char name "Purge"
Skills: Can't remember, he was a vegan though
Score: 128

2nd Roll:
Char name "Be Careful"
Skills: Dual Wielding/Psionics/Smithing/Archaeology/Alchemy/Mathemagic/Necronomiconomics
Score: 17,624

3rd Roll:

Skills: Died too fast to really pay attention, Vampire Pirate though.
Score: 64

4th Roll:

I've won the game with a random roll, but that was back when the dungeon was only 10 levels deep (and I don't recall for sure whether it was GR or DM -- I play both ways depending on my mood). What I do know is that I have the achievement for it.

I will try again right now though, and I'll let you know my score (it may be a very quick game so I may not be long lol).

/edit btw, I use a ton of mods so some of the skills I get can potentially be ones I've never played with before. If you want a purely non-modded game, I can try that as well

 

Yeah I was kind of thinking it could be a bare bones non-modded thing

 

1. Skills: ARchery, Clutch of Midas, Breathstealer Aspirant, Dastardly Scoundrel, Wind Magic, War Weaver, Mana Pool Master
Score: 296
2. Perception, Archaeology, Werediggle Curse, Ninjitsu, Heartburn Aspirant, Star Lawyer, Philosorapter
Score: 272 (swamped with diggles on my second door)
more to come (not doing so well lol).
ok continuing...
/edit oops, appended scores to wrong place

 

OK cancel those games then lol. I'll start again (not to happy with my first two runs anyway).

 

1. Starting now with Mace, Unarmed, Artful Dodger, Psionics, Tinkering, Demonologist, Rogue Scientist. I'll update when game is over
/edit Score: 294,000 (died on level 7)

Score: 836

3. Unarmed, Shield, Promethean, Ley Walker, Perception, Piracy, Warlockery (Not bad)

4. Mace, Unarmed, Vampirism, Mathemagics, Promethean, Tinkering, Big Game Hunter
Score: 248 (playing really horribly this afternoon!)
5. Archery, Vampirism, Mathemagics, Necronomiconomics, Astrology, Emomancy, Piracy

7. Unarmed, Shield, Berserker, Perception, Assassination, Fungal Arts, Clockwork Knight
Score: 76,908

Top 3: 371,780
Total: 373,164

 

Dragon aspirants totally throw off your skill variety when you do random rolls, I really wish fax separated it from his faxpack

 

Just comment these out?

 

Easiest solutions would be to either not use faxpax for a random, or use tons of skill mods to dilute those choices. I generally go for the latter solution since faxpax is a pretty awesome mod. No faxpax this contest though

 

Sounds fun.

First roll: Unarmed, Dual Wielding, Master of Arms, Mathemagic, Blood Magic, Ley Walker, Battle Geology. A bit of overlap there, but looks like a promising gish in the making.

Edit: I didn't figure out how Plutonic Fist worked until right as I died, randomly teleported into a mob of diggles.

Score: 160

 

The Roll: Unarmed Combat, Golemancy, Necronomiceconomics, Assassination, Wand Lore, Emomancy and Warlocky.

O_O

I think we may have a winner here. *knocks on wood* Report to follow!

 

Cool ). I'm a big fan of Necroeconomics, I'm still on my first 'official' run -- just cleared the zoo on level 4 (after looting brax on level 3 of a Flail of Pleiades, plus assorted wands and other goodies). So I'm feeling ok about this run. I'll update the above post when I'm done.

 

Managed to clear DL 1, although I had the obligatory close shaves. Starting wands from Wand Crafting have proved very, very useful. Got myself the Cure, Animate Mustache and Mark of Chthon. I really wish I had something to replenish mana right now, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Thinking about maxing out that Unarmed tree next.

 

#1. Random Guy
Swords, Shield Bearer, Smithing, Burglary, Psionics, Demonology, Battle Geologist (what exactly is it called?)
Died from Floor 6 Monster Zoo with 209000 points.

#2. Random Guy II
Forgot skills.
Died from Rusty Caltrops on Floor 1 with 80 points. (joy. this guy was actually kind of good until he stepped on that caltrop eruptor.)

#3. Random Guy III
Forgot skills. He had a degree in stupidity, though.
Died from a Sickly Diggle on Floor 1 with 23 points. (faaaaail.)

#4. Random Guy IV
Forgot skills.
Died from a Sickly Diggle on Floor 1 with 223 points. (wow, I stink.)

#5. Random Guy V
Forgot skills.
Died from a Lil' Batty on Floor 1 with 103 points. (from what I remember it was a good build but he opened probably the worst possible door first on floor one. the one with the Deth and a bunch of other evil things.)

#6. Random Guy VI
Dual Wielding, Rouge Scientist, Killer Vegan, Burglary, Archaeology, Werediggle Curse, Alchemy
Savegame destroyed right before engaging Dredmor. Had over 3200000 points (three million two hundred thousand). I will count it as 3200000.

#7. Joe
Forgot skills.
Died from a Snow Baal in a mysterious portal I stupidly walked in to with 8968 points.

Top Score: 3,200,000 (Random Guy VI)
Top 3 Score: 3,417,968 (Random Guy I, IV, and Joe)

 

Ooh, I'll have to give this a run or 7 as well.

#1 "Mr Socks, the Sufferer of Armoire" 6.888 points
Mathemagic, Astrology, Archaeology, Tinkering, Werediggle Curse, Battle Geology, Warlockery
Looked promising! Then my Radiant Aura made Brax angry, still on floor 1, yeah... Couldn't make it to stairs. Shame, he was on cruise control otherwise, even took down boss aethernaut and octo from quests with ease!

#2 "Crimson Viper, she dug like a Grimoire" 35.260 points
Axes, Staves, Unarmed Combat, Assassination, Tinkering, Killer Vegan, Clockwork Knight.
Looks kind of workable, except 3 weapon skills and no dualwielding. Funs shall be had nonetheless! Death by rocket jump on DL3.

#3"Diggle Dundee, the mockery of Bee" 1.214.004 points
Axes, Archery, Shield Bearer, Psionics, Perception, Big Game Hunter, Emomancy
Makin' it work. *nods*
My most successful random roll GRPD to date. Died on DL12, first door he opened was monster zoo full of death cloud spewing mummies. Oh, well!

#4"Bad Charlotte, something or other" 72 points
Axes, Maces, Promethean, Fungal Arts, Tinkering, Rogue Scientist, Warlockery
Overrun by diggles first door she opened, poor thing.

#5 "High Hopes, the Dance of Nail" 492 points
Sword, Dual Wielding, Vampirism, Magic Training, Archaeology, Big Game Hunter, Killer Vegan
Vampire Vegan, eh? Death by vegable after barely finishing off a Deth.

#6 In progress: "Ibuki, the Adventurer"
Thrown Weaponry, Master of Arms, Magic Training, Tinkering, Werediggle Curse, Piracy, Demonology
Top 3 totals: 1.256.152 points
Totals: 1.256.716 points

 

trying this right now.

 

Got mobbed by zombies on DL2, they killed my mustache and I didn't have mana for another one. Managed to kill them all but got sniped by an electroblobby. ;_;

First Run:
Total score: 9880

Second Run:
New Skill Set: Swords, Maces, Thrown, Golemancy, Magic Training, Assassination and Battle Geology. We go from dedicated wizard to hardcore tank.
Total Score: 43248

Killed by octos in the zoo on DL3. HATES them.

Third Run:
Swords, Dual Wield, Necronomiceconomics, Blood Magic, Assassination, Fungal Arts and Wandlore. I don't even...
Total Score: 120

Two counters in a row from a diggle. RNG really hated that guy.

Fourth Run:
Axes, Psionics, Assassination, Alchemy, Big Game Hunter, Emomancy and Warlocky. Our goal is DL4.
Total Score: 53800. Didn't quite make it to DL 4 this time. ;_;

Fifth Run:
Maces, Crossbows, Fleshsmithing, Necronom, Viking Magic, Tinkering, Clockwork Knight
Weird, but workable.

 

first run: throwing/unarmed/mathemagic/dual wielding/smothing/rogue scientist/warlockery. Pretty good set except for the awkwardness of unarmed and Dual wielding competing there.

edit: died to a mummy corpse explosion.


second run: dual wielding/berserker rage/master of arms/fungal arts/killer vegan/rogue scientist/battle geology

 

Okay, this looks awesome.
First Roll: Staves, Archery, Shield Bearer, Golemancy, Magic Training, Archaeology & Big Game Hunter
Never used Big Game Hunter or Shield Bearer before and I'm not too familiar with most of the others, so I'm not expecting much.
Edit: Did better than expected but got shocked from a distance on 3hp

Second Roll: Necronomiconomics, Blood Magic, Burglary, Archaeology, Smithing, Piracy & Battle Geology
Not a clue how this will turn out.

 

I don't know Battle Geology at all, but Necronomiconomics+Blood Magic can make for a really good run all by their lonesome. And Piracy synergizes a bit with Smithing. And of course, Burglary and Archaeology are not bad either.

Update on my 1st run -- I'm still alive, cleared a zoo on level 6 now, and doing well. I maxed out Demonology for the first time. Infernal Contract is great, least up until the current level it has been (not sure how good it will be as I get deeper). Demon Form is a bit underwhelming though, and just discovered that Flames of the Heckforge does NOT clean up krong curses (Darn! Darn! Darn! -- did unfortunate damage to my flail of the Pleiades because I was under the impression that it could fix it == otherwise I would have simply kronged a ring instead). Still, can't complain as I'm still alive .
