RANDOM TOURNAMENT LAUNCHING NOW!
We are live again with this year's installment. I was excited for the 2.5 and well, frankly, it laid a dud for the SPF. Something that has yet to leave a dud? The Random Tournament!
So, without further ado:
This year brings forth the mightiest of slayers. We are those who dare enter the fray with gimped skills and equipment findings. We shun those that must have it all! We must have only our chosen items. We wade through the fields of demons, undead, and vile creatures with skills that are of significant purpose to us while crying heresy at all others!
For we are the Random! Hell has no fury that can match that of the mighty unhinged Random. Destroyer. Conqueror. Guardian. That is our path. We, well some of us hopefully, will be victorious!
For this year we are taking it a back to the early days of the tournament. This year all you need is your initial roll to get your skills and equipment, and you go slay or die. The choice is up to you, or to be honest, your amazing skills or lack thereof!

Tournament Specific Rules:
Your character has random skills and equipment that they are able to use as well as your mercenary's equipment (Mercenary has no weapon strictions. They refuse to join you unless your provide them with ample arms!) Lastly, this is not an easy tournament.- Each Character is rolled the following randomly:
- 9 skills
- 5 weapons (You choose 2 subtypes(different), others are rolled randomly)
- 3 Armors
- 2 each of the following equipment slots: Shield, Helms, Gloves, Belt, and boots.
- 2 Class Specific
- You get zero rerolls. You are bestowed additional items at your disposal as compensation.
- You may not roll your own character.
- Scoring: 1 Point for each act completed. If you choose to do single pass, you are rewarded with 1 point at the end of each difficulty as a bonus for your feat of strength.
- You can use the exceptional and elite versions of your equipment (The cube is quite handy in this tournament!)
- 1 point into all pre-reqs, but you can't use the active skills. Passive skills are the best as you can increase them through +class or tab items. Items that grant passive skills can be used as you see fit.
- Charged, Chance to cast, and oskills: Go nuts!
- Yes, you may respec if you choose too.
- Reserved for future clarifications/references!
