Introduction

The FOM (flipped out mage) is a mage variant who one day after doing to much homework, flips out and becomes obsessed with moose. To start a FOM create a new char and put "(FOM)" after the name.

Rules

The FOM is very confused about life and does not know its own power (no looking at the character statistic screen, and optionally, the spell book). Also because of this confusion, most of the FOM items are quite strange; as the FOM doesn't have a clue what to use. Most FOM's also have some other mental disability (OCD/ADHD/ADD, or any other disability you want to use). Some FOM's have abilities which may be discovered later in they're life (meaning, optional level up distribution restrictions).

The original FOM guidelines are below. Because of the nature of the Flipped Out Mage, however, yours may look very different.

The FOM may only look at his character statistic screen when putting Level up points in.

When a FOM wants to distribute his statistics he must get as many of his ears as level up points he wants to distribute, then drop the ears by the cows. When the dupe message comes up and he loses all but 1 ear he must take that ear and fling it at a cheater saying, "CHEATER! CHEATER!" When this occurs, if the cheater PK's him he gets another 5 points to distribute.

If you want, every 5 levels a FOM may drop all his stuff (save Fool's Crest and items "of the Fool"). This is so he does not get attached to material things. Note that this is not a requirement; if you want to you can. (I'm not. :)

Items

Enchantments
The FOM loves items of stability, because it's something stable in the constant confusion most FOM's live in.

The FOM can only use things that are kinda weird cursed stuff, things like a, "dull dagger of sharpness" or godly rags of the whale or something like that.

Spells

The FOM also loves Mana Shield, which is another stable effect.

Fool's Flipped Out Quests

So You Want To Be A Fool
If a item of the fool is found the FOM can begin a quest to become a weirdo. He must fling himself into the church and die. Then he must get his stuff back and cast a spell every step of the way.

If the fools crest is found the FOM may apply to become a "Moose Dork." To do that he must kill the butcher after having died. (Butcher must die while you are dead. Another player may not do the killing in order for you to get credit.)

After the FOM becomes a Moose Dork he can apply to become a "Moose Weirdo." To do this he must kill Diablo after being knocked out of his light radius.

A FOM who finds a Fool's Crest and completes all the quests may apply for the rank of, "OddBallMooseWhale." To do this he must do the strangest thing possible and post it on his local Diablo-related message board. The title must be, "Meese Cute." If the board thinks this is weird enough the FOM gets the title.
