ServerQuestions / Max level and other xp questio...
Last post by Shargast - Sep 28, 2024, 04:15 AM
Hiya,

Is the max level here 40?
Is there a HGLL system here?
What happens when you hit 40 here? Are there specials or does the xp just pile up?
Can you loose levels thru xp penalties OnDeath?
Mounted combat? Been checking a few servers thru and not sure if horses are just for traveling?

Thx for your answers.

Login: murder and mayhem
Discord ID: themirror3417
DM Name: aDM Mirror

Timezone: UK-based (UTC/BST) i.e. EST+5
Availability: Afternoons and evenings my time, more often than not.

Preferred Number of Players: 4-6
Preferred Length of Quest: 2-3 hours per session. I like the idea of ad-hocs cohering into a larger storyline.

Thematic Styles and Specialties:
I love magic. If you want to do interesting magical things, you have my attention.
I love it when my players take initiative and try to keep my prompting to a minimum.
I'm a big fan of moral conundrums and characters having their convictions tested.
Politics and politicking. I adore good social play and if you bring me doublespeak, you're taking home bonus exp. 
The latest piece of media I enjoyed. This is not a joke.

Wishes to Avoid:
Tag-alongs. Please only sign up for my events if you see something which appeals to you outside of the exp reward at the end.
In the moment arguments. I will make mistakes, and calls you disagree with. Please save it for after the event is over.
Intra-party antagonism. Conflict and disagreements are fine so long as they actually resolve into something actionable.
The Deep Lore (tm). I'm not a Realms lore buff by any stretch of the imagination, I make up for it with frantic googling. It's not that I don't enjoy it, or won't prepare in advance if forewarned, but please be gentle with springing on me someone's great aunt thrice removed who is actually mega relevant right now.

Queue and Wishlist:
I'm perusing the quest requests and fleshing out a few ideas, one about a wizard and a tower, another about a high ranking military officer, and yet another about a region under siege.

Misc. Notes:
While I have many years of roleplay and DMing behind my back, I'm extremely new to the NWN DM and Build clients. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
The usual - party chat, /touchon, /diceprivate. Hold on transitions for descriptions. Always ask ahead of time if you want to prepare non-NWN spells. Always ask before flying/teleporting to a place.
Always indicate what you're rolling for if unprompted, either in private or preferrably through your emote.
I'm open for suggestions and discussions on just about anything and everything, preferably over discord.

Quote10.A - IC Slavery

As something of a specific corollary to these rules, please note that in-character enslavement or slave status of PCs does fall under mature content rules and the secret associations rules to a degree, because it is similar to torture/etc in that it's the sort of thing that forces players to react to it. In particular, this sort of thing is ICly illegal in Cormyr, and in most of the Dales as well, so it should not be brought up/must be kept quiet in those areas. Also, due to the implications inherent in such an event/story, existing characters cannot be made into slaves, even with OOC agreement, because this forces such an event on any number of other characters. As such, IC Slavery is limited to characters explicitly made for that purpose. If someone no longer wishes to play their formerly enslaved character, this requires retirement of that character, lest it provoke a giant PVP/drama situation that many unwilling players will inevitably get pulled into.

Please note that under 10.A, this is specifically limiting PC and PC interaction. A character may still have a background in slavery, and speak of it in general terms (Not explicit details), as long as the antagonist is an NPC. As said in the above rule - and that about backstories, trying to gather dislike or hatred towards a specific PC isn't kosher.
Emphasis mine. I've not heard of a rules change saying otherwise.

I believe the only way to free a slave is to retire them. The rules still state this to avoid PvP between the surface and the underdark.

Turtle and I are without internet, again. Restoration of services is currently unknown; but it should be back sometime, tomorrow. I am crossing my fingers.

@The Blue Dragons!  @Edge @AnOldFriend @azule @Eidolon (and everyone I forgot!)
RE: Blue Dragon Open House Night

Thank you for the eye-opening role play about the Blue Dragon's branch of the Cormyr Military. I had hoped to collect more information for Rosalind and Evendur while we were there; but there was so much going on, it made that a bit difficult. You have a lovely guild house, of which you have every reason to be proud. Whomever built it did an amazing job. You've put together a pretty nice group and I hope you obtain the DM attention you need and deserve to continue to grow, flourish and have fun.

I also appreciated your patience with Rosalind. She is a curious sort and persistent, especially with things that spark her interest. She will remember you all in her prayers to Tymora that you all train well, sail on great voyages and always return victorious!

Thank you, again, for opening your "home" to us and giving us a peek into your guild hall! And, also, for the interesting role play! I will never engage in a pillow fight with Sandy!
