RNGesus Challenge - the expanded universe

Good morning/day/afternoon/evening folks!

As some of you may know a certain australian streamer/youtuber, who goes by the name of ZiggyD

uploaded a series of videos on youtube a while ago in which he played a sort of self-imposed ruleset, not unlike the nuzlocke challenge in the pokemon community, which involved loads of RNG.

Since then my guild and I have experimented with similar rulesets, just for fun, and have come up with something rather neat, an expansion to the original ruleset if you will.
Obviously the following lists are work in progress and are in no way meant to be balanced, fair, easy, hard or even fun, so please post any constructive criticism and ideas for this below the thread, now, lets get into the meat of the system!



Our system is based on a principle very common in ARPGs and PoE in particular:
prefixes and suffixes, which are applied to a base item, or, in this case, a base ruleset.
The base ruleset can be anything you want, you don't even need a base ruleset if you don't want to have one; we recommend going with something similar to the ruleset of ziggyd's rngesus challenge outlined in the following videos:

Have you picked a base ruleset? Neato! now you may either choose or randomly roll one of our prefixes and one of our suffixes, you can take multiple prefixes, however taking multiple suffixes would lead to conflicts in the rules of the challenge, so be warned!

PREFIXES:
Spoiler


-the graverobber's: whenever you encounter an exile you have to kill it, get rid of all your gear, pick a new complete set of gear from the items that dropped from the exile BEFORE identifying the items, then identify and equip all of them.
you may use a white amulet of your choice to reach the stat requirements of that gear.

-the juggernaut's (bitch): you are not allowed to identify lockboxes HOWEVER you must open all lockboxes you encounter

-the winner's trophy :you must make an effort to take over every shrine you encounter HOWEVER you must kill all mobs around the shrine before you are allowed to take it's powers.

-the completionist's: everytime you enter a new zone you must kill the unique
boss before you are allowed to continue ( meaning if you found the way up to ledge you're not allowed to go to ledge until the brood princess has fallen). If you re-enter a zone and a new instance is created you must re-kill the boss before you can move on(meaning if you killed piety and re-enter the ebony barracks, creating a new instance, you must kill general gravicius again beforeyou can move into the imperial gardens).

-the corrupted exile's: everytime you encounter a corrupted zone you must enter it and you are not allowed to enter any other zones until the unique boss is killed.





SUFFIXES:
Spoiler


-of the ZiggyD: your main skill's DPS may not exceed X (X=charLevel*90).

-of the shadow: you may not use any gear or gems that require strength but you cannot play as a shadow.

-of the templar: you may not use any gear or gems that require dexterity but you cannot play as a templar.

-of the duelist: you may not use any gear or gems that require intelligence but you cannot play as a duelist.

-of the scion: all of your gear combined has to require at least 1 point of each base stat, all of your gems combined have to require at least one point of each base stat.

-of the reckless: one of your gear slots has to be empty at all times, you may either choose that slot yourself or roll it randomly,
you can change the slot that has to be empty as often as you would like to, as long as you are missing one piece of gear at all times.
