Fate: Well, here's a bummer

I guess it was in front of me all the time, but I didn't catch on to this
till I killed the chief foozle and attempted to start a new game with the
same character at a higher difficulty level. Unless I'm missing something,
you can't do it as you can in D2. If you want to go through at a higher
difficulty level, you've got to start a new char or an "heir."

Currently, that's correct. A lot of people want this feature though, so
go pester Travis on the WT forums and maybe he'll cave in

Well, maybe it's not such a big deal. I started a Legend-level heir and had
him running around level 1 killing things with just his starter hatchet. It
didn't seem much more difficult than killing them on Adventurer level.
Sure, I don't have all my cherried-up equipment, but isn't the Legend-level
equipment so much better that I will have discarded old stuff anyway by the
time I get to high-level.

The only real question is should I pass on my final super-spear to my
heir....which he'll have to wait till he's high-level before he can use
(when even better stuff might be available on Legend), or should I pass on a
super-enchanted low-level spear..which he'll be able to use after leveling
up just a few times. I created this spear by using 6 million gp worth of
repeat enchanting on it before I retired my Adventurer-level character (got
both the saves set aside).

Consider passing on as highly-enchanted a ring as you can lay your hands
on - rings have no prerequisites, and most effects are useful for both
at high and low-level characters. I just bought lots of rings and
necklaces, and kept enchanting until I got one with at least 10 good
powers and no bad ones. Try to get one with Reduced Requirements on it,
as that would be most useful to a starting character.

Yeah, after I posted, I realized that I wasn't thinking clearly at all about
handing an item down. I've begun enchanting a super amulet for my heir.
