Creating two characters at start

[macsum619]

I’m trying to find a way to create two characters to start with, them both starting together. How would I go about doing this?

[The Pollie]

Use the editor, create a new start and just set it as two characters. Probably a tutorial somewhere.

[Undead Rufus]

You don't even have to use the editor. I think a couple of vanilla starts support multiple characters, or you can find one already made on the Workshop or Nexus.

[The Pollie]

Yeah. You could just use the Nobodies start and dismiss the other three you start with.

[Faerador]

The Slave start in Rebirth gives you exactly two characters to begin with, but it's a tougher start for a beginner.

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

you can edit the Slave start and change where it begins.
if you want to learn how to edit the start, just need to look at everything it does. and play around with it.
you can look at other starts as well in the FCS to learn more how its done.

Here is a perfect youtube tutorial i used to start with 13 characters.

What you could do is create a character for the Rebirth Slave start, export the .bod2 file, then import it and make the second character identical. Then just keep whichever one has the stats and limbs you want when you escape.

or just dismiss one of the starting characters immediately, you can do that from the squad menu.

^This. It's a brilliant way to start a play through.

well if you mean that it's "PRO-STRATZ as ♥♥♥♥" then yeah, you can power level a load of important stats and leave with two hyper ninjas (with over 70 toughness) + whatever prisoners you can scrounge up on the way out, it kind of ruins the "starting with nothing" feel of the games normal starts though.

In my play through, it was a more of a back story start than a power levelling stat fest. I might try it out sometime though

Oh, you really missed out. Slavery is a great way to start your game. A completely disarmed populace enjoying socialized medicine, state-sponsored education and subsidized lunches.
Slavery is a good way to train the stats you need for early-game development: dodge, toughness, martial arts, strength, athletics, lockpicking, stealth, thievery and laboring. You'll never starve to death and you have a reasonable safety net with your trainers patching you up when you're injured. I'd reccomend turning limbs to low or off, though.

having really solid targets around can also help you get a head start on assassination (especially if you use cages to de-aggro the guards) and if you play fairly safe with the beatings you won't lose limbs (in general you want to avoid entering a recovery coma, its just a huge waste of time.)
