Ultimate challenge for a solo - a random sorcerer

Remove all ads!

Ok, how about this. I know everything has been tried in a solo (including Jester - damn I wish I read the description of that). What about a sorcerer who has to choose the spells on each level randomly? Say each time you get a screen with one of those 'choose spell' lists you roll a die. If it rolls five you choose the fifth spell on the list - whatever it is.

If this is too difficult maybe allow one non-random spell choice very five levels or something like that.

I think this could be fun to play, instead on relying on your favourite spells you have to go around incessently summoning spiders or doing the best ou can with a tenser's and a staff of rynn.

Anyone think this is doable? More importantly, anyone want to do it?

 

its doable

 

Interesting thought. However, the spells that you don't get to have can be cast with a scroll, so that makes it seems less harder.

By the way, you'll need a many-sided dice to roll a random spell. But two 10-sided dice would work.

 

If it's too easy, you could always bar the casting from scrolls....

It should teach you a lot about resourcefulness and many new ways to skin the cat as they say.

I think a lot will depend on the initial "random" choices the system makes for you when you roll the character up, or were you planning to chose these on a die roll too?

PS,

You'd only need to 2 d6's and treat it as a matrix. (If memory serves there are no more than 6 by 6 showing on the screen? If there are 7 accross, then that idea is out of the window as I'm buggered if I can remember where all my PnP dice are. Given time I'll take up the challenge for a laugh though.
