| '''Reroll''' is a feature that allows you to recreate a character without having to level him from scratch. A character's [[Levels]] are retained for reuse by a new character. Normally, when you delete a character, he's simply gone and that's it, but when you Reroll, deleting a character produces a [[Book of Achievement]] in its place. Then you can re-register a new character with the same (or different) name, choose the '''SPECIAL'''s, and the tag skills. Once he's in the game, get the [[Book of Achievement]] and "use" it to reclaim the [[Level]]s of the deleted character. This will allow you to re-distribute new [[Skill Points]] and to choose new [[Perks]] as you go, one chapter of the book at a time.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''NOTE''': If you use a character with [[Intelligence]] 10 to level up to level 30, and plan to Reroll him and use his [[Book of Achievement]] on a new character with only [[Intelligence]] 1 for example, you do not get the same amount of [[Skill Points]]. You only get the same amount of [[Levels]], and whatever [[Skill Points]] the ''new'' character gets from ''his'' [[Intelligence]].
| |
|
| |
| Rerolling is a popular way to more quickly level up additional characters using a [[Builds: A Leveling Build|Leveling Build]], with [[Swift Learner]] and [[Loner]], to reach a target level.
| |
|
| |
| '''A Pro Tip''': If you are re-rolling a character over level 30, and plan to install an [[Intelligence]] [[Implants|implant]], stop reading the [[Book of Achievement]] at level 30 and get the IN implant surgery. Then pick up the [[Book of Achievement]] and finish leveling him to complete the Reroll process.
| |
|
| |
| ==Words of Warning==
| |
| *'''Rerolling only works if the deleted character had 10k caps in his inventory at the time of deletion.'''
| |
| *Rerolling a character is a permanent and irreversible decision, though you can Reroll a character more than once
| |
| *Rerolling a character gives back that character's [[Levels]] only.
| |
| *The new character gets a new [[Character ID]], and the original character's ID is left behind forever
| |
| *[[Support perks]] are lost, so the new character will need to get some of them again
| |
| *[[Profession|Professions]] are lost
| |
| *[[Blueprints]] which the character learned are lost
| |
| *Surgically installed [[Implants]] are lost
| |
| *Skill [[Books]] read by the deleted character are lost
| |
| *[[Items]] in the deleted character's inventory are lost
| |
| *[[Followers]] are lost
| |
| *[[Reputation]] gets reset
| |
| *[[Pip-Boy|Professional status and awards in Pip-Boy]] are lost
| |
| *[[Hall of Fame]] status is lost
| |
| *Kill counts and quest progress are lost
| |
| *Faction membership is lost. The deleted character will be automatically disassociated with whatever faction he was in, and lose access to and ownership of his [[Player Farm|Farm]] if he had one. This can cause major problems if he was the leader of a faction. Leadership can be claimed by someone else in that faction if there is at least one member there promoted beyond "Recruit".
| |
| *All [[Tent]], [[Safe House]], [[Player Farm|Farm]], and faction base map markers get erased, although the tents themselves do not get removed. To see them again, maps need to be created in advance of the Reroll, and left where the new character can find them.
| |
| *Discovered public locations that are hidden by default, like Salvagers in Boneyard, will be hidden again.
| |
|
| |
| ==To Use==
| |
| To Reroll a character, use the '''~deleteself''' [[Commands|command]] while standing in a safe location (tent or house or base) and while having at least 10,000 [[caps]] in that character's inventory. Wait 3 minutes for full logout, or deletion does not happen. Be careful! The '''~deleteself''' [[Commands|command]] permanently deletes a character. The command has a format, shown here without parenthesis:
| |
|
| |
| * Type this: '''~deleteself''' (your character's password here)
| |
| * Example: '''~deleteself password1'''
| |
|
| |
| If done correctly, you will see the following text message:
| |
|
| |
| '''INFO: You will receive [[Book of Achievement|Achievement Book]] after your character disappears from game.'''
| |
|
| |
| After that character is deleted, a [[Book of Achievement]] will appear on the ground in that same hex where the deleted character was last standing. That book can then be used on a new Level-1 character to gain the levels of your deleted character. The book will disappear when used completely. Obviously, it can't be used on more than one character.
| |
|
| |
| '''Note''' The only way this works is if the deleted character is higher than Level 1, and the new character is ''exactly'' level 1.
| |
|
| |
| The new Level-1 character picks up the [[Book of Achievement|book]] and "Uses" it. This instantly levels him up once. Distribute [[Skill Points]] and use the book again over and over until the new character has all of the [[Levels]] of the deleted character. You do this one level at a time, and choose [[Perks]] along the way.

| ==Reported Mistakes and Common Errors==
| |
| Many players have made mistakes in the process of '''Rerolling'''. GameMasters likely cannot help you in any way, so pay attention to details when '''Rerolling'''. Here is a list of the common problems - please try to avoid these mistakes:
| |
|
| |
| *Don't forget to place exactly '''10,000''' bottle caps in your inventory.
| |
| *Any lower amount of caps in your inventory will not work. 9,999 caps won't work!
| |
| *Make sure to be in your tent or base when doing a Reroll. Otherwise, the [[Book of Achievement]] will not spawn and the character's achievements will be lost.
| |
| *Whenever you log out or delete a character, it will remain in-game in logout mode for a few minutes, inactive. During this time, make sure nobody kills the character or steals the 10k caps from his inventory.
| |
| *Be sure nobody pushes your character off of the map during his logoff cooldown. The [[Book of Achievement]] will only appear if there is no such interference.
| |
| *Make sure the character does not die from [[Poisoned|poison]] or [[Radiated|radiation]] during the last few moments.
| |
| *Pay close attention to which character you are deleting/re-rolling.
| |
|
| |
| '''IMPORTANT''': When using a [[Book of Achievement]] to level up a new character, be very careful to distribute [[Skill Points]] as you go. The Skill Points queue only holds a maximum of 99 at a time, so it is possible to use the book too many times and exceed this limit. If that happens, you end up with fewer Skill Points overall for that character because the overage is immediately lost.
| |
|
| |
| * Example: you used an achievement book several times without distributing [[Skill Points]] and now have 97 in queue. Without distributing them, you use the book again and now have 99. The overage is lost. If the game had a 3-digit Skill Point queue, you might see 117 at this point, but you only see 99 and 18 are lost. You use the book 3 more times and still only have 99 [[Skill Points]] in queue. At this point you keep losing Skill Points each time you level up via the book, until you finally wake up, realize your mistake, and start distributing [[Skill Points]].
| |
|
| |
| The same thing happens when you're leveling a character in the normal way - distribute Skill Points before they reach 100. '''Don't let the Skill Point queue reach 99 as you level up!'''
