Yeah, this is simple. I'm trying to determine the player skill-character skill ratio, roughly. So I'm going to ask you all to post your skills, level, and what (combat) artifacts you have. I want to know how high the entrance bar really is, and whether there's a point in bothering to fight without transcendant skills.

Trans in both guild skills, near trans in my tertiary. Around adept or master in all my others. Close to the level where you don't have to eat or sleep anymore. No artifacts. I also use a macintosh (but hopefully not for long). Therefore my character skill : player skill is roughly 0:0.

But wait, you're planning on -fighting-, Verithrax??

*I'm not sure if some of my other artifacts count under the "combat" category


NOTE: DO NOT USE ME AS A BASIS FOR WHAT YOU NEED FOR COMBAT. I'm still only an average fighter despite.

EDIT:

System- I don't know how to code very well so I just got Thorgal's system and added, altered, and sometimes broke parts of it to suit me

I am omnitrans with every artifact save a cubix and weapon runes....

Player skill means everything, but you do need those 3 or 5 skills to be capable (such as focus mind, and tumble and trans planar really helps)
