Reroll is a feature that allows you to recreate a character so that its Levels and Skill Points are retained for reuse by a new character. When you Reroll, you delete an existing character which produces a Book of Achievement in its place. Then re-register a new character with the same or different name, choose the SPECIALs, and the tag skills. Once he's in the game, get the Book of Achievement and "use" it to re-distribute the Skill Points and Perks of the deleted character, one Level at a time.
Words of Warning
- Rerolling a character is a permanent and irreversible decision, although you can always Reroll again.
- Rerolling a character gives back that character's Skill Points and Levels only.
- The original character's ID is lost
- Support perks get lost
- Professions get lost
- Blueprints which the character learned get lost
- Implants get lost
- Skill Books read by this character get lost
- Items in your inventory get lost
- Followers get lost
- Reputation gets reset
- Kill counts and quest progress get lost
- Faction membership gets lots. The deleted character will be automatically disassociated with whatever faction he was in. 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 "important" member there.
- All Tent, Safe House, 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 train stations, will be hidden again.
To Use
To Reroll a character, use the ~deleteself command while standing in a tent/house/base and while having at least 10,000 caps in that character's inventory. Be careful! The ~deleteself command permanently deletes a character.
If done correctly, 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 character picks up the 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 not to make these mistakes:
- Don't forget to place AT LEAST 10,000 bottle caps in your inventory.
- Don't place ANY lower amount of caps in your inventory - if you place 9,999 - THE REROLL WON'T WORK.
- Make sure to be in your tent or base when doing reroll. Otherwise, the Book of Achievement will not spawn and the character will be lost.
- Make sure that nobody steals your caps from inventory or kills you before the character disappears and the book is spawned. Otherwise, the book will not spawn and the character will be lost. Make sure that your don't die from poison or radiation.
- Be sure, you are logged in with the right character. (Yes, this also happened)
