Epic Sacrifice

Previously known as the 5% roll.

What is it?

There comes a time when it is time to say goodbye to even the most loved character. Perhaps they have finally perished, or chosen to return forever to life on the sword coast. Regardless of the reason, when it comes time to retire your character Arelith has an operational reward scheme.

When you use -delete_character, if your character is in the following level ranges, you have a chance at an award:

• 16-20: 5% chance of minor award
• 21-25: 5% chance of normal award, 45% chance of minor award
• 26-30: 5% chance of major award, 45% chance of normal award, 50% chance of minor award.

If you are successful, you will get a floaty text message just before you are sent back to character selection on using -delete_character for the second and final time.

The list of awards is currently as follows. All apply only to new characters created after the retirement. Only one award may be redeemed per new character.

• Minor: -1 ECL applied to your character
• Normal: -2 ECL applied to your character OR ability to ride horses OR gift of spell resistance (additional to your normal gift choices, +2 ECL applies)
• Major: Any Normal gift (but ECL reduction is -3 not -2) OR RDD token OR shifter token.

If you want to do something unique, like a custom skin, you can still ask us about it. If you have a Major award, you can use it to do something custom by agreement with JJ as usual. But now you can do the roll in game and only need to contact him if you succeed.

Common Question Answers

• Award redemption is per CD key. You can transfer awards freely between different accounts on the same key.
• There is no RPR requirement on RDD and shifter anymore. If you're being silly with it, we'll deal with it on a case by case basis.
• Gift of SR was restricted because it was overused.
• ECL is applied as follows. If you would normally get 100xp, and you have an ECL of -2, you get 100 * (level / (level -2)) xp. so at level 4 with -2ECL you get double xp from kills.
• You need to redeem an award to be able to ride horses.
• Ride Horse is a radial menu feat. I've not looked at mounted combat.
