Remorting

The routes to every remort class, how remort points work, remort races and what a remort keeps.

Remorting is how a character goes on past level 100. At level 100 you can be reborn at level 1 in a new class, or in the same class again. Some classes can only be reached this way.

How it works#

Taking a class to level 100 finishes one life, and every finished life pays remort points that stay with your character. At level 100 you can remort: you start again at level 1 in the class you choose.

Every remort makes you stronger, whatever you are reborn as: 20 stat points to place, 1 more melee damage, 5 percent resistance to a damage type you choose, and 2 percent more health, spell points and endurance (see what every remort gives). At any remort you can also be reborn as a remort race, for nothing.

You keep your stats, coins, homes, clan, faith, crafts and remort points. Your level, experience and class skills start again.

You never have to remort, and a character can remort eight times in all.

Pick what you want#

Each arrow is one remort, taken at level 100. The routes below show each step.

Assassin, paladin and necromancer are the legendary classes. Each needs three finished lives: the two the class names, and one more of any class. The lives can come in any order, and you can join from any class once you are level 100 with all three finished.

The routes#

Thief#

Rogue → Thief

The Thieves cannot be applied to. Their guildmaster watches level 100 rogues and invites those they judge worthy.

Bard#

Rogue → Bard

Psion#

Psion is a standard class. Explorers join at level 10 in the lighthouse with join psion; no remort points or invitation is needed. Like the other standard classes, it is also a free class choice when remorting.

Ranger#

Rogue → Warrior → Ranger

Warrior first, then Rogue, works the same way.

Assassin#

Rogue → Thief → any class → Assassin

The third life can come first: Warrior → Rogue → Thief → Assassin works too.

The Assassins are listed by remort, but they cannot be asked. When a level 100 character has finished a rogue life, a thief life and one more, and has 8 points, the guild may send a sealed contract naming a target somewhere in the realms. The target must die by the candidate's hand within one day, with no group, companions or heroes. A candidate who fails may be offered another contract later.

Paladin#

Cleric → Warrior → any class → Paladin

The three lives can come in any order. To play the Cleric after another life, remort into Healer and be ordained.

remort paladin checks each thing a paladin needs against your character:

• Level 100
• A finished Cleric life and a finished Warrior life
• Three finished lives in all
• 10 remort points
• Two years in service to your religion
• 2500 hours played
• To pass the Vigil
• The oath, laid by the High Priest or High Priestess of your faith

A paladin serves their own god. The oath is laid by the High Priest or High Priestess of that faith, and only on a follower of at least two years with 2500 hours played. No one who serves another god can take it.

For the Vigil, the candidate keeps watch alone through the night at the Order's chapel. Three waves of the restless dead come for the altar, and the altar must not fall. Companions, heroes and other players cannot enter. A failed vigil can be tried again the next day.

Necromancer#

Mage → Psion → any class → Necromancer

The three lives can come in any order. Psion can be the first life; no previous Mage life is needed to enter it.

For the Binding, the Circle sends the candidate to bind a spirit. The candidate must defeat the spirit's guardian alone and carry the spirit back to the Circle in a vessel without dying. A failed binding can be tried again the next day.

Cleric#

Cleric is not a remort. A healer of any level can be ordained by a temple of their faith, keeps their level, and needs no points. See Cleric.

Remort points#

Earning#

You earn points once per life, when that life reaches level 100. A class you have finished before pays half.

Healer and cleric are different classes. A cleric who reaches level 100 has finished a cleric life.

Spending#

The costs are set so that any third life pays enough, even a class you have played before, which pays only half.

Points are spent only when you confirm the remort. Unspent points stay with your character, and remort shows how many you have. Lives and points belong to the character that earned them. Your other characters do not count.

Remort races#

At any remort you may change your race to a remort race. It costs nothing, needs nothing but a finished life, and comes on top of your new class. Your stats are rebuilt from the new race's starting row, plus your background point and the remort points you have placed. Your eyes, hair and features are drawn fresh from the new race's options, and you keep every language you know.

There are two remort races, the Shade and the Dryad. Neither can be chosen when making a character.

Shade#

Shades are people caught between life and death, shaped by memory and by what has happened to them. They do not bleed; a wounded shade frays.

Dryad#

Dryads are spirits of the forest, listened to above anyone and wise in the old green ways, with bark-grained skin and branchlike hair. A dryad is always female, so only a female character can be reborn as one.

Remort race stats#

A remort race starts with 84 points across the six core stats, where the creation races start with 80.

Shades and dryads made before they became remort races keep their race and their stats.

Half remorts#

From level 50 a character can take a half remort: set the life down early and start again at level 1 in another class, to chase a class sooner. A half remort walks every route a full remort does, all the way to Paladin, Necromancer or Assassin.

• The life you leave counts as a finished life for every route, and pays its remort points as a full life does.
• It gives none of the remort bonuses: no stat points, melee damage, resistance or pools, no extra experience, no boss first kills again and no race change.
• It does not use one of the eight remorts, and your life number on who stays the same.
• At level 100 a remort is a full remort while you have full remorts left. Once all eight are used, a remort from level 50 is a half remort.

Example: Rogue 50 → Thief 50 → Warrior 50 → Assassin

The points shown include what each life pays as it is set down.

What every remort gives#

Every full remort gives the same four bonuses, whether you are reborn into an open class, a prestige class or a new race. They stay with you for good, through every later life and every change of race.

A character can remort eight times. Here is what each remort has added by then:

Stat points#

Stats do not grow as you level: they come from your race, your background point, your gear and your runes (see Stats). Remort stat points raise the stat itself, so the gain is there whatever you wear.

remort stats shows each stat, how much of it came from remorting and how much room is left. remort stats <stat> <amount> places points, for example remort stats strength 5. Unplaced points wait for you, and nothing is lost by placing them later.

A stat can reach 35 from race, background and remort points. Gear and runes then carry it on towards 50, where every stat's effect stops. Eight remorts give enough points to bring all seven stats to 35 from any race.

If you change race, your placed points go back onto the new body. Where the new race starts higher and a stat would pass 35, the extra points come back to you to place again.

Melee damage#

Every melee blow, with a weapon or bare-handed, deals one more point of damage for each remort. Bows, slings and guns are not melee and do not gain it. summary shows your melee bonus, remorts included.

Resistance#

Each remort lets you raise one resistance by 5%, to at most 10% in any one type. remort resist shows what you have and what is left to place, and remort resist <type> raises one, for example remort resist fire.

Remort resistance is added on top of everything else that protects you. Gear, runes and your race give their best, and your remort resistance is then added to it.

Health, spell points and endurance#

Each remort raises your maximum health, spell points and endurance by 2%, up to 10% after five remorts. summary shows it as your remort bonus.

Experience and training#

Every remort also makes the next life quicker.

Where you see it#

What you keep#

Gear above your level stays in your pack until you reach its level again.

Remorting in the game#

Every remort shows a preview first: who you are now, who you will be, what it costs and your lives so far. Nothing changes until you type remort confirm.

Characters made before remorting#

Rangers, bards, necromancers, thieves and assassins who joined before remorting began keep their class, and their life counts when it reaches level 100.
