= '''Metamagic''' =
Version 1.5 introduces a new implementation of metamagic feats which allows the use of multiple feats with a spell. Due to the limitations of the system, there are a few caveats. First, stacking is only possible through the use of items called metamagic rods. Second, these rods will only work with hooked spells. Spells that have not yet been hooked will gain no benefits from them. You will find Empower, Extend and Maximize rods, in addition to the new feat listed below. Unfortunately, due to engine limitations, Still, Silent and Quicken spell cannot be made into rods at this time.

Version 1.5 also introduces a new Metamagic feat available exclusively through metamagic rods: '''Energy Substitution'''. This new feat allows you to alter the energy type of a spell. This opens the doors for many new spells, such as ''cold bolt'', ''acid ball'' and ''sonic weapon'' just by replacing the energy type. The feat currently has 5 flavors: Acid, cold, electricity, fire and sonic. They do not stack (that's a different feat.) I have attempted, as best I could, to make visual effects for spells match these new damage types. You will note some spells had a larger degreee of success. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

The following spells can currently benefit from elemental substitution: ''chain lightning, darkfire, fireball, flame arrow, lightning bolt'', all level 0-2 elemental spells.

===Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:===
- Added Augment Summoning rod and implemented it with the summon creature 1-9 spells. 
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=980 Bug #980]: Can't substitute acid for firebrand 
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=983 Bug #983]: Flame Arrow not elemental substituting 

== Augment Summoning [General] ==
Your summoned creatures are better than normal. 
'''Prerequisites:''' Spellcaster level 2nd+. 
'''Benefit:''' Creatures you conjure with any summon spell gain +1 hit points per Hit Die and a +1 competence modifier on attacks and damage rolls.

== Energy Substitution [Metamagic] ==
You can modify a spell that uses one type of energy to use another type of energy. 
'''Prerequisites:''' Any other metamagic feat, 5 ranks in Knowledge (arcana). 
'''Benefit:''' Choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. You can modify a spell with an energy designator to use the chosen type of energy instead. 
'''Special:''' You can gain this feat multiple times, each time it applies to a different type of energy. 
'''Slots:''' +0 

='''Use Magic Device'''=
If you attempt to use a scroll, staff or wand with a spell that you cannot cast, you must make a successful Use Magic Device or Spellcraft check. The system will compare ranks in the two skills and use the highest of the two for your character. If you have at least 5 ranks in the lower skill, you will get a +2 synergy bonus for the check.

If you are a divine caster attempting to use an item with an arcane spell or an arcane caster trying to an item with a divine spell, one of the following things will happen:
- If you have rogue, bard or assassin levels and ranks in UMD, you will make a UMD check - not a spellcraft check.
- The attempt will fail.

===DCs:===
25 + spell level for UMD scroll checks. 
20 + spell level for staff and wand UMD checks. 
20 + spell level for all Spellcraft checks. 

===Open Bugs:===
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=901 Bug #901]: Assassin not counted for UMD checks in Spellhooking 1.5

===Version 1.2 changes:===
- Removed rods from the UMD check. 
- Removed raise dead scrolls from the UMD check. 
- Removed the notice when an innate ability is used successfully. 

===Version 1.4 Changes:===
- Removed the notice when an innate ability is used unsuccessfully. 
- Removed protection from alignment scrolls from the UMD check. ([http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=495 Bug #495]) 

===Version 1.7.2.1 changes:===
- Clerics using spell scrolls must now have the appropriate domain to cast from scrolls that are domain restricted spells. i.e. a cleric using a barkskin scroll must have the plant domain or it is an automatic failure. This applies only to spellcraft checks.

===Version 1.7.2.2 changes:===
- Fixed an issue with muticlass chars to see if a scroll can be read from any magic using class.

= '''Spells Granted by Deities''' =
When casting divine spells on Avlis, you must have a valid Avlis deity in your deity field to cast spells above 3rd level.

=== Notes: ===
- Currently this is only implemented for clerics. It will be implemented soon for Blackguards, Druids, Paladins and Rangers.

=== Version 1.2 Changes: ===
- Spells cast from items do not need to make this check.
- Deities with apostraphes in their name no longer cause problems.

=== Version 1.4 Changes: ===
- Divine casters unable to reach their diety can now cast spells up to level 3 instead of level 2.

=== Version 1.5 Changes: ===
- The deity check was broken due to a typo. This has been fixed.

=== Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes: ===
- DMs can now mark a character as out of favor with his deity. An out of favor character cannot cast any spells - arcane or divine.
- Fixed debugging output that was not using the DEBUG check.

===Version 1.7.3.2 Changes/Bug Fixes:===
- Epic spells are considered level 10 spells. Divine casters unable to reach their diety cannot cast epic spells

='''Andrinor's Trust =
As of spellhooking 1.5, mages who do not have Andrinor's Trust can no longer cast spells above 7th level. This change was based on a player-intitiated move by the mage guilds to limit the power of extra-planar mages visiting Avlis. For more information on this, please refer to the following URLs: 
'''IC:''' [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=43328 High Mage Council's Major Decision Concerning Arcane Magic] 
'''OOC:''' [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=43329 Limiting Non-Trust Mages' spells]

===Notes: ===
- This feature is implemented with DB entries. This means that having the Andinor's Trust item in your possession will not allow you to cast spells above 7th level. When this is first implemented, players will have to havce the correct value set by a DM. As the systems rolls out, certain players will be given the ability to grant the DB entry to other players. 
- You may notice a discrepancy between the IC announcement and the implementation. Deal with it ICly.

===Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes: ===
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=908 Bug #908]: Shapechange is considered a level 0 spell instead of level 9 spell

===Version 1.7.3.2 Changes/Bug Fixes:===
- Epic spells are considered level 10 spells. Those that are not in the Trust cannot cast epic spells

='''Share Spell'''=
'''NOTE:''' Share Spell is currently turned off as of 1.6.0.2. 
Sorcerers and wizards can share spells with their familiars. Druids and Rangers can share spells with their animal companions. To do this, you must have your familiar or animal companion summoned and within five feet of you. Any buff spell you cast on yourself will affect your familiar as well.

===Version 1.5 Changes:===
- Spells such as [i]flame weapon[/i] should no longer affect familiars.

===Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes: ===
- Implemented a completely new share spell system. 
- Share spell now works for druid and ranger animal companions. 
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=453 Bug #453]: Pale Master Summon summons 2 creatures instead of one when familair is out. 
- [http://www.avlis.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=531 Bug #531]: Share Spell does not take Metamagic feats into account

- Elixir of Exalted Healing: Heals 180hp or 80% of total hp, whichever is greater.

='''Militant Level Bonuses'''=

ANNIHILATOR 
ARCANE ARCHER 
AVENGER 
BARBARIAN 
BEAST

Talk:Creating custom race characters

2006-03-30T08:01:51Z

Landran Mord:

I think this page is misnamed. The current title, ''Creating Custom Races on Avlis'', suggests to me that you're creating a new race, not creating a new character with a pre-existing race. I'm not sure why I think (or thought) that players could create new races, but if they could then the current title describes this. Do others think that this matters? --[[User:Landran Mord|Mac]] 08:01, 30 Mar 2006 (GMT)

'''Description''': Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the [[fighter]], but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy - a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings ,and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast [[divine]] spells, much as a druid does, and like a [[druid]] he is often accompanied by [[Animal Companion (feat)|animal companions]].

==Notes==
*When reaching Ranger levels with bonus Favoured Enemy feats at [[Epic#Epic Character|epic character]] levels (not just epic ranger levels), an Epic Feat may be chosen from the Epic Ranger Bonus list instead of the usual Favored Enemy.
*A good example of using one level of Ranger in epic levels is with a caster type. With just one level of Ranger in epic levels you can take Improved Combat Casting ( provided you already have the prereqs for the feat) instead of your first favored enemy as well as pickup discipline or some other useful skills that may not be available to your caster class, and usually most pure casters can get away with losing one level to their caster level.

'''Epic Ranger Bonus Feats''': [[Bane of Enemies]], [[Blinding Speed]], [[Epic Prowess]], [[Epic Spell Focus]], [[Epic Toughness]], [[Epic Weapon Focus]], [[Favored Enemy]], [[Improved Combat Casting]], [[Perfect Health]]

'''Epic Selectable Class Feats''': [[Epic Skill Focus]] ([[Animal empathy]])

==Notes==
*When reaching Ranger levels with bonus Favoured Enemy feats at [[Epic#Epic Character|epic character]] levels (not just epic ranger levels), an Epic Feat may be chosen from the Epic Ranger Bonus list instead of the usual Favored Enemy.
*A good example of using one level of Ranger in epic levels is with a caster type. With just one level of Ranger in epic levels you can take Improved Combat Casting ( provided you already have the prereqs for the feat) instead of your first favored enemy as well as pickup discipline or some other useful skills that may not be available to your caster class, and usually most pure casters can get away with losing one level to their caster level.

Character Creation

2006-03-29T04:30:20Z

Landran Mord: /* Deities and Cleric Domains */ changed this into a table for condensement

All of the rules that govern the classes in NWN are the same way on Avlis. The point of the world is to be as all-inclusive as possible so that everyone will have an opportunity to play the kind of character they want. The general rule is that if you want to play it, you can probably manage it on Avlis. There are only a few exceptions to this rule – for example, drow and duergar do not exist on Avlis, and half-demon characters are not allowed.
==Race==
One the biggest decisions you will have in creating a character is choosing what race you want to play. Each race brings with it a distinct cultural attributes, abilities, advantages and disadvantages.

[[Races|The Races of Avlis]]

As a player, you can shape whatever history or education you want into your character but choosing a race tends to bring certain permanent attributes to your character. If you play a Halfling for example you will be of shorter stature to most of the races in NWN. You can be an unusually large Halfling but you still will be seen as a Halfling by the rest of the world. Also consider some races have an irrational dislike of other races. Dwarves are known for there mistrust of elves for example. You could be the most true-hearted Paladin in the known world but the Dwarven bartender won't let you stay because you're an elf. These are things to consider when picking a race.

The particulars of the culture of each race will not be dealt with as each can be subject to interpretation by the player when creating a character. The bonuses and penalties are described as they effect your character in the game.

==Classes==
That having been said, there are a few general guidelines for some of the classes:

===[[Fighter]]===
Fighters are good at combat, experts with weapons and combat feats.

===[[Barbarian]]===
Barbarians are powerful and tough wild fighters. They can get themselves into a frenzy and cause massive

===[[Rogue]]===
Rogues are experts at many skills, including some stealthy and some mechanical. Rogues also study the body and are able to target critical points and cause great pain.

===[[Bard]]===
Bards are masters of ballads, comedy and tradgedy. Through their entertainment they can inspire all manner of emotion.

===[[Druid]]===
Druids are essentially priests of nature. In the older editions of the D&D Player's Handbook (PHB), druids had a very hierarchical structure to their organization. This is possible on Avlis too, but it is not the only norm. Structure depends on alignment. Therefore druidic orders with neutral or lawful alignments will have more order than chaotic druidic orders. Not all gods on Avlis can produce druids. In fact relatively few can. They are:
[[Pg:The_Nine_Major_Gods#O'Ma|O'Ma]],
[[Pg:The_Nine_Major_Gods#Dru'El|Dru'El]],
[[Pg:Demigods#Pelar|Pelar]],
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Dre'Ana|Dre'Ana]],
[[Pg:Other_Greater_Gods#Titania|Titania]],
[[Pg:Intermediate_Gods#Dagath|Dagath]],
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Skern|Skern]],
[[Pg:Demigods#Cha'reth|Cha'reth]], and
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Verossa|Verossa]].

Druidic orders are often not related organizationally to the church of the same god. However, sometimes they work together, like in the case of the Church of O'Ma and O'Ma's druidic order. Sometimes there is tension between the church and its druidic order because they do things a little differently ritualistically and they have concerns in different areas.

===[[Monk]]===
Monks on Avlis are varied. There are a few monk orders attached to gods, like O'Ma again for instance. About half of the monk orders are attached to some natural formation or area, such as a mountain or river, and the remaining quarter of monk orders are simply contemplative - i.e., not attached to anything except existence itself. The orders that follow a deity or a philosophy are the most likely ones to produce adventuring monks. Orders that attach themselves to a formation usually stay within the vicinity, although sometimes their members are sent on vision quests.

Orders that are attached to a god will usually be closely associated with a church if that church is of lawful alignment, much like the Catholic orders of nuns and monks are today as opposed some Zen Buddhist orders.

===[[Ranger]]===
This class is as described from the rules given for it in the Player’s Handbook. However, Rangers on Avlis may not only take a specific race as a hated enemy, but also a specific organization or group, such as the Green Order or the Equalizers of Mikon.

Eventually, all rangers come to follow a deity, though not all of them start out that way. By the time they are able to cast divine spells, however, they have made their decisions and thrown their lot in with one of the Avlissian gods. Not all gods on Avlis can produce rangers. Only the following may do so:
[[Pg:The_Nine_Major_Gods#O'Ma|O'Ma]],
[[Pg:The_Nine_Major_Gods#Dru'El|Dru'El]],
[[Pg:Demigods#Pelar|Pelar]],
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Dre'Ana|Dre'Ana]],
[[Pg:Other_Greater_Gods#Titania|Titania]],
[[Pg:Intermediate_Gods#Dagath|Dagath]],
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Skern|Skern]],
[[Pg:Demigods#Cha'reth|Cha'reth]],
[[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Verossa|Verossa]],
and [[Pg:Lesser_Gods#Yeraiah|Yeraiah]].
Rangers may choose any god that fits their moral alignment. That is, for example, any good ranger may follow Cha’Reth, O’Ma, or Dru’El. Any neutral ranger may follow Skern, Dagath or Yeraiah, and any evil ranger may follow Verossa.

Rangers gain their spells from the god(s) they follow, much the same way a Cleric or Paladin does. It does not come from nebulous force of nature, or the earth itself. It is the power of their god, channeled though them. It isn’t the ranger who picks the target of lightning when he calls it down, but rather his god that directs it.

===[[Sorcerer]] and [[Wizard]]===
Practitioners of arcane magic are usually accepted or tolerated. The only place where this is not true is in orcish society. Orc mages are hunted down and killed by the other orcs because long ago all of the orcish mages banded together to cast a spell against their enemies and it backfired, destroying almost every orc in the world. Only the intercession of Mikon saved the orcs from being wiped out completely by the other races.

Any non-orc mages entering into orcish society are also hunted down and killed. Generally, all orcs and half-orcs raised around orcs have a hatred for mages that borders on violence. The orcs who are mages have banded together underground to be safe. Things like public spell casting and talk of magic are generally a no-no around orcs, but in other places they are only met with suspicion.

===[[Paladin]]===
Paladins are the holy warriors of Gorethar, one of the nine major gods of Avlis. Thus one who plays a paladin is automatically a follower of Gorethar.

===[[Cleric]]===
The following is a list of suggested domains in NWN for clerics to take based on the god/goddess they worship. Please note, this is not a list of required domains, only suggestions. No one will be asked to change their domains or remake their character. If a DM sees someone playing a Cleric of Gorethar (or any other Avlis deity) with domains not listed here, they will do nothing about it. The majority of this list was written by Spell Singer, and edited, approved by the Avlis staff. Consider these the officially suggested domains. Detailed information on the deities of Avlis can be found in "[[Avlisdocs:Player_Guide#Deities and Religion|Deities and Religion]]".

All of these races exist on Avlis, in addition to many, many more, some of which you can select as the race of your character.

While some of the races are identical to the descriptions laid out in D&D game literature, most are slightly different. They are... well, they are Avlissian.

Rules:Specific Rules:Cheesing

2006-03-29T02:52:00Z

Landran Mord: /* Character Backgrounds */ changed the list introduction to be more clear, changed manual numbering to automatic numbering

[[Category:Rules]]
==Cheesing==
"Cheesing" of races or abilities is not acceptable on Avlis.

*ahem* *puts on his professor cap*

"Cheesing" a race is the act of picking one of the standard NWN player character races and then entering some other non-NWN race into the subrace in order to try and pass yourself off as a non-standard race. "Cheesing" an ability is the act of playing your character as if they have an ability which the NWN engine would not otherwise allow them to have.

Example: You cannot be a giant-kin by picking half-orc and writing "Veerbeeg" in the subrace field. This is not allowed, and if you are caught doing this you will be forced to re-make your character.

ONLY real races are allowed. Custom races are goblin, kobold, half-ogre, half-nymph, half-dryad, drangonari elf, lizardman, and orc. You CANNOT play any other races other than these and the standard elf, dwarf, human, halfling, etc.

Example2: You cannot say your character is a vampire with exceptional strength and the ability to make other characters into a vampire by biting them. ONLY abilities that are granted by your class, race, and level within NWN are in-game. Extra powers that you make up or pretend to have are unacceptable.

There is a very very good reason that we have this rule. A long time ago *evil grin* a player came in and decided they wanted to be a vampire. So they did all kinds of things to fake being a vampire, and none of the abilities were really implimented in NWN. It got to be really bad because in order for that vampire to be successful, OTHER player characters had to PRETEND that this person was a vampire. So it became this whole big thing about having REAL NWN abilities and abilities that you are PRETENDING to have. Not only is that really cheesy, IMO, it can get very confusing.

Player1: *pretends to whack Player2 over the head*
Player2: What was that for?
Player1: You're unconcious now. I whacked you over the head.
Player2: No I'm not. You didn't do any damage to me at all.
Player1: But I have a 42 strength. I'm a giant.
Player2: No you aren't. You look like a halfling, and your character sheet says you have a 7 strength.
Player1: I know. I know. That's what my character sheet says. But I'm REALLY a giant and I have a 42 strength, so you better roleplay being knocked out, buster.
Player2: That is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard.

That's just an example. You can substitute *pretends to bite your neck and suck blood* in there for the first line if you want. But I think you see my point.

Anyone caught doing these things will be asked to remake their character to conform with the NWN engine and to stop faking abilities.
===Character Backgrounds===
In addition to Player Character races, the PC's background could have the possibility of falling into this cheesing category. Though it is perfectly IC to have one of the following traits in your background, you MUST have an approval of a (vet or senior) DM before you can RP this out.

This list contains examples and is not exhaustive.

# PC's are assumed to NOT to have any direct/blood relationship (Son, Daughter, wife, husband, lover, etc...) to deities.
# PC's are assumed to NOT to have any special "gateway" from a foreign world to Avlis, ie: Magical Cloud, Divine intervention, Special Borg Spaceship, Birth from a Rock, Formed by the faeces of a god, transport via a microbiomolecular transport, etc. (Exception: Other than CoPaP, in which case, you must make your character in that CoPaP World then come to Avlis ICly).
# PC's are assumed to NOT to have any special blood of non-playable avlisian races. (Drow, Vampires, Vampyres, Balors, chickens, demons, badgers, Celestials, Dragons[*See below for Dragon Disciple Exception] etc..)

We encourage players to come up with great backgrounds for their PC's, but like in PnP, if your character has a special background, you must clear it with the DM. We are just making sure the players know that.

Thank you

Avlis DM's

*Exception to Dragon Disciples - There's an exception to this bloodline PC's, namely, Dragon Disciples. However, notice we didn't mention the "color" of this dragon disciple. As of this posting, the Red Dragon Disciples simply do NOT exist. NO Native Avlisian character (Characters that are made in Avlis) have the blood of a "Red" Dragon. However, in the future, if the team has enough time, we may implement some kind of Dragon Disciple that is similar, if not the same as Red Dragon Disciple. But as of the time of this posting, there are no dragon blood in any of the Avlisian characters.

===Races===
You cannot play a custom race that is not created by the AutoBic golem. Filling in the subrace field is not acceptable. [[Pg:Custom_Races|Custom Races]]
====Elves====
All this information is already posted on the boards or in the players guide. I have consolidated these statements into one place, since players are claiming to not be aware of them. Ignorance is no excuse.

1) Do not make elves with dark skin and white hair on Avlis.

2) Avlisian Elf (directly form the players guide)
The most common type of Elf, referred to simply as an Avlissian Elf, is generally akin to a high elf in 2nd Edition AD&D terms. Their skin tones range from milky white to a mild tan, although there are sometimes grayish or bluish undertones visible in rare individuals. Their hair can range from a deep black or blackish green, to a bright blonde or red, much like the human hair colors. The almond shaped eyes of these elves can cover the entire human range of blues, greens, and browns, but violet is also seen. All other statistics for physical stature and size, as well as game play, are identical to high elves.

3) Ghost Elf
Physically, these elves are much more thin and frail looking than Avlissian Elves, but their state of delicacy is a beautiful one. Their skin is almost always a bright yellow, or bright yellow with a very slight greenish tinge. From some angles, their skin almost seems to give off a faint glow, hence the name ghost elf.

4) Drangonari Elf
They appear mostly elven in form, except they have scales much like a lizard in colors ranging from the darkest green to a bluish color. Their hair is always black, and their eyes contain slit pupils and range in color from gold to dark brown, with the occasional violets and greys.
*Drangonari PCs always have black hair and green skin regardless of the colours chosen in character generation

5) Sereg'wethrin
Sereg'wethrin look very much like Elves. The main differences are their dark skin and black hair
====Drow====
* Avlis reserves the right to protect what we call the "Tone & Feel" of Avlis. This is defined by the entire Avlis works that make up the world's history, culture, and traditions, and is marked by its contrast to other famous campaign settings such as Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance.

* Native Avlis Drow are against the Tone & Feel of Avlis and are illegal. You may not play any drow character that is purported to be born on Avlis or from any ficticious drow societies on Avlis, of which there are none.

* Drow PC's from OTHER CoPaP are wholly welcome to play on Avlis so long as they go by the following stipulations:

1) The PC must be created with Red Golem's AutoBic character generator on another CoPaP world, otherwise it will be considered "cheesing".

2) The drow must be roleplayed as a drow in the biological sense, i.e. sensitive to light, and any other physical drow characteristic.

3) The drow may be of any alignment so long as it follows 1) and 2).

* Drow PC's from other CoPaP worlds must be aware of their IC plight on Avlis: There exists another race called Sereg'wethrin which are a dark-skinned elven race that is native to Avlis. This race is hated and feared by the inhabitants of Avlis even more than the inhabitants of the Forgotten Realms hate drow. There are NO examples of good Sereg'wethrin. Thus the inhabitants of Avlis will automatically assume that any dark-skinned elves are up to no good. If you play a drow and come to Avlis, you WILL be mistaken for a Sereg'wethrin by those you encounter, unless they are otherwise educated ICly. This is regardless of your drow's alignment.

* Actions taken against your character by other players within the bounds of Sereg'wethrin treatment are not considered griefing if it is a legitimate IC/CvC situation.

* The actions of Avlis inhabitants against Sereg'wethrin or drow mistaken as sereg are not a personal attack against you as a player. They are the mistaken ignorances of a society that does not know any better, and was designed that way by me.

If you feel your drow PC has been treated unfairly by another player in game, take the appropriate measures listed in our rules for reporting grief behavior.

If you feel your drow PC has been mistreated by a DM, report the incident immediately to the Avlis Team, staff@avlis.org. Avlis does NOT condone DM-harrassment of drow PC's simply because they are drow. However, they WILL mobilize the NPC population of Avlis to react appropriately to you, thus giving you a hard time in that way. Please do not confuse the two:

Good:
Your drow walks into a bar. Five barmaids and the bartender freak out and refuse to serve you. They pee their pants and run.

Good:
Your drow wanders into the forest and comes across a M'Chekian army encampment with some really buff Equalizers among them. The entire group of soldiers turns on you and attacks.

Bad:
You are walking on a road in the middle of nowhere, and 20 Balors and 8 Pit Fiends spawn out of nowhere and kill you. There was no story going on to give a reason for this. It just happened.

===Pregnancy===
Female PC's cannot become pregnant.

If you want your character to become pregnant, you:

1) Have to retire her permanently from PC status and make her an NPC.

2) Need to have team approval to do this.

There are no if's, no but's, and all those things. I really hope this doesn't need to be clarified any further.
===Prestige Classes===
1. Red Dragon Disciple (RDD) and Champion of Torm (CoT) prestige classes are not, should not and will not be available for taking for Avlis characters on Avlis.

- ad. RDD: Red dragons do not exist on Avlis, your native Avlis character will not be able to have the most important IC requirement: red dragon blood in his/her veins. He/she should not even know a Red Dragon exists, unless he has knowledge about other planes.
Your Avlis character should in no way be able to take this PrC, not even on other worlds, unless he/she is not a native to Avlis because of the lack of said dragon blood.
If your character is not a native to Avlis, you should have made it on another world in the first place. Characters native to Avlis that have RDD class will be deleveled by DMs.
The argument that certain spells allow you to summon or change your shape into a red dragon will no longer hold ground. Coders are all set to remove those effects from the involved spells and replace them with Avlis specific creatures.

- ad CoT: Champion of Torm can only be made by Torm or an order dedicated to Torm. Torm does also not exist on Avlis as a god, so you should head over to another world that does have the Deity Torm in its pantheon if you want to ever be able to take this PrC.

Prestige classes in general: The option to gain a prestige class on Avlis should only be available if you meet the requirements AND have done a quest to unlock the class (either scripted or by DM intervention).

If you have taken a PrC on Avlis without meeting these requirements you have intentionally or unintentionally abused a bug in the PrC disabling code. You should contact a DM to get rid of the levels, if you do so on your own you will receive your XP back.

Rules:Punishment Procedure

2006-03-29T02:49:12Z

Landran Mord: /* Punishment */ typo in Punishment section

[[Category:Rules]]
='''The Avlis Procedure for Punishment'''=
When a player is warned online by a DM for a rules violation, they will be placed on the watchlist. At this time the DM may remove equipment gained via rule breaking, and may impose an EXP fine. The purpose of the watchlist is to facilitate communication among the team. If a character is seen breaking a rule after being placed on the watchlist, they will be subject to punishment.

We have decided to use what we call "Vault Jail" as a method of punishment for most infractions. "Vault Jail" consists of having all your characters removed from the servervault for a period of 2-5 days. The length of time is dependent on the type and number of infractions. Players whose characters are being investigated for cheating, exploiting, or griefing will also have their characters placed temporarily in Vault Jail.

Banning is reserved for players that cheat, exploit, grief other players, or continue to break rules after having being punished previously.

==Warnings==
How many warnings does someone get before they are punished?

*First warning is in the application.
*Second warning is given on or off line when the problem is noticed.
The second warning can also be if the Team makes a post warning players to not do a specific thing.
*There is no third warning.

==Punishment==

When a player is warned (on or off line) for a rules violation, (warnings) they will be placed on the watch list.
Also at this time the DM may remove equipment gained via rule breaking, and may impose an EXP fine.

'''The Watchlist'''

The purpose of the watch list is simple. It is there to facilitate communication among the staff. Nothing more, nothing less.

If after they are placed on the watch list, they are again seen to break any rule, they will be subject to punishment.

'''Punishment'''

We have decided to use what we call "Vault Jail" as a method of punishment for most infractions. "Vault Jail" consists of having all your characters removed from the vault for a period of 5+ days. The length of time is dependent on the type, and number of infractions. It is also used to remove characters of players who are being investigated for cheeting, exploiting or PKing (griefing).

We reserve banning for players that:
*Cheat
*Exploit
*Griefing
*Continue to break rules after being placed in vault jail
*Manipulate or deceive a DM.

Players who "walk" their characters over from another CoPaP world after being vault jailed are subject to being banned without further notice or discussion.

'''Review'''

All cases are judged by a Senior/Major DM and reviewed by Orleron.
Please do not PM/ICQ/Email Orleron about any punishment unless asked to do so.

'''Alternate accounts'''

When we vault jail someone we may jail ALL accounts associated with them. Simply this means that if a player has an alt account we might jail that one as well.
When we ban someone, we ban ALL accounts associated with the banned account.

'''Notification'''

If a player is being placed in Vault Jail we will attempt to PM them first. We reserve the right to jail first contact later. (Many players have a different name on the forums) If you log in and find your vault suddenly and completely empty you may have been placed in vault jail, and should contact the team via email ASAP. (staff@avlis.org)

One last thing, if a DM speaks to you about a problem, please be polite. We are here to have fun also, and dealing with rule breaking is not fun in the first place, a player being an ass only makes it more unpleasant.

==Banishment==

Avlis is a cool place, we all know that. It is not uncommon that family members play on the same CD and/or Gamespy account in Avlis.

However, there has been a number of cases where ONE of the family member was banned for specific reason, and thus, making it unplayable for the rule-abiding family member.

The banning policy is such that we will ban any CD key and/or Gamespy account that is associated with the said player. That means, if your family member is playing on the same CD and/or Gamespy account, you also risk being banned from Avlis if that your brother/sister/father/mother also plays on the same CD and/or Gamespy account.

This is done because it is next to impossible to distinguish whether or not it is true that said banned player truly has a sibling/parent/child who plays on the same CD and/or Gamespy account.

Thus, in order to protect yourself if you truly do have a family member who does play in Avlis, play on seperate CD's and/or Gamespy account and DON'T SHARE! Simple as that.

Thanks for being understanding.
