[Ziggurat]

I flirted with replacing my Valk with a Lord, I hadn't developed her as well as I liked. She won't get her only uber skill, Power Strike, until she is lev 21! She's at 15 now in our four-party of intrepid adventurers. I sometimes opt for an even distribution of attribute points (except for piety, which I barely boost), but this strategy of development has its drawbacks...

Anyway, I started the process just to see what would happen, created a new char, and a message came up saying do you want to lose your old character forever?!! I felt if I said yes it would not let me restore the game to the old character. If I try this, can I restore the old games with that character?

I shouldn't be doing this at this level but I was curious, having never tried it. On second thought, I won't try it this game but might in a later one. Is there any fun in starting a new player from scratch with all the goodies partway through the game? It would be similar to Wiz 7 except the only carry-over would be the goodies. Maybe keep them alive through the early levs thru protections and formation as they zoom up in levels? What level is good for the switch? I realize you have to buy all your armor back, does that mean what the one char is wearing or for everyone? I have $250K but alot of good stuff, too.

Anyone who has tried this, I want to know if this is a legitimate option having value in a game. Or is it some kinda lark for first timers?
