Halfling War SSF Permadeath Run

[skorge]

I am currently playing a SSF Halfing Warrior and doing a Permadeath run. I chose halfling because of the starting area having a lot of guards for security, the exp bonus, hide, and being able to use more vendors.

The biggest challenge so far is that Misty Thicket is probably the poorest starting zone. By the time I hit level 3 on an Ogre character I normally have close to 10 plat. In contrast, my halfling, Phatboss, only gained 1 plat by the time he hit level 3, lol. The only way I could afford a bag was to use the roaming NPC for the bug quest to get a free 6 slot bag.

Right now I am almost level 5 and just now got full cloth armor (I had to buy all the pieces). In the time I've been playing I've watched a level 3 fully twinked halfling die twice, lol. Made me feel good, not dying once so far.

Anyone else tried a permadeath run? I am recording my progress, but have not uploaded anything yet. I have a brand new baby boy and can only play in short bursts, but will upload once I have 5+ videos done.
