How Does One Become A Hero?

I'll Steal Your Toast Agent Member # 2210	written Saturday, February 26 2005 15:50 Profile #0 I have two characters that are ranked as lords, one as an arch wizard, one as a high priest. Supposedly there is a ranking called Hero-- what balance for the character stats are required to become a hero? I think this title is available at the highest levels. I would like one of the lord characters to become a hero. I am wondering if there are any higher rankings? When does a party become a god party? -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

I just tried putting the premade party through the HLPM up to level 100, WITHOUT training any of their stats. When I did this, Ssschah turned out as a Hero. (Aldous was a Lord, Cordelia was a High Priest and Mycroft was a Wizard.) If I trained him exclusively in dexterity, bows, thrown missiles and sharpshooter, Ssschah remained a hero. It seems that Hero is a catchall for high-level characters who don't meet the criteria for any other class. As far as I can tell, the only reasonable way to make one is with a pure non-melee, non-spellcasting archer character. EDIT: Further experiments with levelling up Ssschah without raising his stats: Level 1 = Novice Level 5 = Wandered (sic) Level 10 = Mercenary Level 15 = Rogue Level 20 = Explorer Level 25 = Protector Level 30 = Defender Level 35 = Champion Level 40 = Hero So to be a hero, it seems that a character must reach level 40 without attaining certain critical values in Melee Weapons, Pole Weapons, Mage Spells or Priest Spells. It's worth noting that these critical values are very low -- even the other premade characters' level-1 stats are enough to set them on the other three class paths. If I get the time and nobody else does it first, I might also do a few experiments on how the other three class paths relate to each other.

But then maybe a lord is better. Whats a Lord any way? I'v never seen a Lord capable of dealing 500 damadge. Heros on the other hand yes. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts.
