As in the leveled skills, kept zero gear. Stripped naked in old world, restarted as same char with leveled skills but zero gear in new H&H world.

This is a good idea, so I decided to switch to my old character and did this, but what happens with the raids? I would regularly get several fullings attacking me if I stayed out after dark, no matter where I was. With my current equipment, it would be difficult to deal with 4-6 fullings all at the same time.
