On Everlasting, there is/was a group running "launch reenactors," including emulating having to pick stamina powers.

yawn.  i favor brutes.  this will obviously be a 1-50 run (by definition)  i can make a Dark/Invul Brute who will breeze through the game on +0/x1  Sure, lacking sets will make 30-50 a little aggravating.  But not by much really.  Brutes were overpowered when created, even without inherent stamina.  with inherent stamina but no set bonuses you just alter some picks and grind careful.

I'm down. I'll do this challenge. I'll go a step further and limit myself to DOs and SOs only.

The trick ( to not dying ) is counter intuitive.  Stop experience.  Until you generate funds for upgrades.  Do content your build excels at.  Basically farm the game.  If you level normally you can be short of cash and strapped for enhancers

 

Hats off if you can do this ( not dying) on a Blaster

I still run my old school villain and hero so I guess it's still around.

 

I'm on Everlasting if you want to run either a classic hero or villain. I basically run with those rules, stricter in some areas and looser in others.

Masochists. Masochists the lot of you.

IMHO People have to make the game tricksy like this because the standard method (difficulty selection) is boring.

May I suggest turning off green drops, and utilizing your inherent regen, (or resting) to get health back? I created a defender that does that, kinda fun.

Shit i wish I had the time, I'd definitely be down for this.

A supergroup is forming on Indom redside for this if you're looking for a team.
