''From the eponymous lost work by Sage [[PCs:Miriel Hana|Miriel]] of [[Visimontium]].''

=== Excerpt, Prologue ===

The Hierophant's account begins 
with one Orc maiden, free from sin 

Alarmed by voices from beyond 
Yet all too eager to respond 
Her hands betrayed her heart of gold 
Cursed vial emptied, as foretold: 
A sip would bring forth from the past 
what Time itself had turned to rust 

Do mark her name and good intent 
For she won't only represent 
the first to tip the fated scales 
The Hierophant will spin the tale 
away from her and wakeful land; 
Yet she'll be with us in the end 

This pure soul the record joins 
As Yen·efer, the Queen of Coins 

=== Excerpt, The Three Sisters ===

One blood drop heralded a stream 
Awakened from a timeless dream 

A river now, it flowed in three 
Each sought her own way to be free 
Born Trouble, Hatred and Deceit 
Resolved their destiny to meet 
as Storm, Wrath, Plague, to take their course 
Yet, joined by bad blood at their source, 

Their tether to the mortal coil 
By one misstep would quickly foil 

For Time is held back at a cost 
A dark pact forged in epoch lost 
Blood bound to serve one fallen soul, 
the Three must answer to her call: 
Go where they may, they share this fate 
If She should fall, their death won't wait 

Beyond the shattered prison glass 
More malice yet shall come to pass 

=== Excerpt, Zelia's Story ===

Seduced by beauty in her prime 
What started as an innocent crime 
Through desperation's door flung wide 
Allowed for something Dark to glide 
on flightless wings unto broken heart: 
A Princess comes to play this part 

To be the Nightmare herself 
Soft whispers pushed her off the shelf 
Her madness swept her ever down 
Her hand, her kin in blood to drown 
Wilsash's Great Dream devour'd her whole 
Blind vengeance drove her, above all 

A final trade to feed her spite: 
Dark Lady offered Lady White 

Three children beautiful and vile 
to do her bidding and beguile 
Three sisters bonded, mind and soul 
To be the mistress of them all 
the Princess paid a bitter price: 
Her wings, her true faith, and her eyes 

Soon folly followed reckless plan 
Blood marred the palace of Toostán 
While in the forests far away 
Three children from their task did stray 
All trapped in glass; Their mother's wrath 
consumed Cloud City in her path 

The fell Princéss she cursed to sleep 
Forever in a Nightmare's Keep 

A drop of blood she sealed behind 
Until an innocent soul would find 
the vial accursed, and drink their fill 
her prison's door won't be revealed 
And even then, there'd be a cost: 
The Princess of Toostan was lost 

The Nightmare Lord her soul had claimed 
Not much was left—not even her name 

=== Excerpt, Zelia's Return ===

Uncounted times the stars had spun 
Till vial's prison come undone 

The Dreamcall comet split the sky 
Fate faltered, as directed by 
the Puppeteer of the Blind 
Time's clockwork staggered to unwind 

Our days grew short and rest was brief 
The nighttime did not bring relief 
The grinning Moon was no one's friend 
The Dream had spilled from end to end 

Event horizon didn't look right 
The stakes rose higher every night: 
Behind closed eyes a darkness loomed 
To drift and dream meant certain doom 

Unknowing of herself at first 
Lost Princess on world's stage was thrust 
Blind Puppet's stride, Dark Prophet's tongue 
Nightmare's litanies she sung 

In wakeful lands she walked again 
Until she chanced one mortal man 
Her path to cross, her chant to hear: 
Eudaimon faced her with no fear 

His manner frank and unrehearsed 
Alas, the Princess' touch was cursed 
Blind as she was, her gaze he sensed 
and pledged his all in her defense 

Through many nights Eudaimon stirred 
His mind in darkness blazed and burned 
Lost Princess' freedom to regain 
he plotted; Time and time again 

his best designs would come to nil 
In restless dreams he roamed until 
the Luminous Tower rose ahead: 
He found himself awake, instead 

Last chance for him to turn about 
Surrender to a creeping doubt 
For he has everything to lose— 
Belay that! Still the same he'd choose! 

Unspoken deadline drawing close, 
He throws the gauntlet of his cause 
"Our common sense this Fool offends!" 
The Council of the Mind all stand 

against him; they are in accord: 
Such madness they could ill afford 
This dubious lot still met Fool's goal: 
They stood united, after all 

As for the Fool, if too far gone 
He knows he won't succeed alone 
To see this madness through the end 
Allies he'd need—and more so, friends 

=== Excerpt, The Ship of Fools ===

Not one to care for the rules, 
Eudaimon leads the Ship of Fools 

His hands the wheel, his heels the stern 
Many-as-one each take their turn 
In one-as-many voice he sings 
When starry night a quiet brings, 
He glances at the Sage again 
(No riddle this; he's just a man) 

A smile his lips begins to crack: 
One day, perhaps, she will look back 

A furrow on the Sage's brow: 
The Hierophant of Here and Now 
A Child before, a Mother then, 
It's hard to tell which one was when 
She reaches out to intervene 
and play her magic on the scene 

Still not the one to deal the cards 
Elemmiire of the Stars 

A shadow grows, alarming fast 
the Sailor, Straccio, at the mast 
Too late, the party would perceive 
More cards inside one traveler's sleeve 
For this one walks the Path of Dust: 
"We all are Fools for him to trust!" 

Dust never rose to stir a feud: 
A Storm into his teacup brewed 
This Storm's dark shadow hid, Owl said, 
Another Dreamer, this one Dead 
A wicked snicker split Dust's face 
Blink and he's gone!—without a trace 

=== Excerpt, The Willow Island ===

The Storm engulfed the ship with ease 
The tall waves offered no release 
and left them clutching at the ropes 
A gasp for air, a glint of hope? 
For in the storm's eye overhead 
Appeared familiar silhouette 
Her wings outstretched, her shadow bound 
Beyond the storm, on higher ground 

A pause beneath the willow tree 
She borrows time, to be set free 

Bone white tea cup in Zelia's hand 
She bargains more than they can spend 
Split seconds spill, small hours slip 
Nary a moment for a sip 
A-tick-tock beats her heart's refrain 
She smiles and pours a cup again 

A final riddle joins the rhyme 
The cards are shuffled one last time 

=== Excerpt, The Forest River ===

A glimmer on the watershed 
Reflected Moon and Stars ahead 
A river flows inside this dream 
A lonesome Otter braves the stream 

Beyond the reach of Fools and Seers 
A forest fire's drawing near 
A She-Wolf flees on quiet paw 
Along the stream, she spies an Owl 

This Owl is a veracious guide 
The She-Wolf's primal fear abides 
The White Rose held in beastly teeth 
Declares the ardent heart beneath 

=== Excerpt, The Graveyard ===

Nightmares. They show what we carry within. 
—Eudaimon Dawnblade 

=== Excerpt, The Temple of Time ===

Time is nothing. Timing is everything. 
—Eudaimon Dawnblade 

=== Excerpt, Zelia's Release ===

A dawn of victory unfurled 
Our world was saved, but in this world 
There was no cure for Zelia's grief 
The Princess chose her last reprieve: 
She faced unto Dagáth's domain 
Yen cried and begged her to remain 

As Zelia's body turned to dust 
Her own Yen offered, as she must 

Such deal the Sands of Time ignored 
Yet there was something else in store 
for our willing sacrifice: 
Gift of Winged Mother's own device 
While Yen stood tall, her frame grew slight 
Hair flaming red, now framed by white 
wings feathered; an unwitting host 
Reflecting Zelia's beauty lost 

=== Excerpt, Epilogue ===

From Dream to Dust, the story flew 
Recounted now but by a few 

Time takes Fate for another spin 
A skull alone remains to grin 
Atop a magic staff aglow, 
He laughs onto the Sage below 
The witness to a wicked joke 
of one who Dreamed and then awoke 

A onetime child, bereft of youth 
In vain she searches for the truth 
The open book becomes a cage 
Alas, the hand that scribed the page 
May hold the quill but not the key 
No trace of recognition; She 

who lives to tell the story now 
Remembers nothing anyhow

== Tarot Illustrations ==

''Based on the deck popularized by [[PCs:Kaz'shardra Aske|Kaz'shardra Aske]].''

=== Illustration, The World ===

The first illustration in the series is an unsettling representation of the tarot card "The World". In the four corners are female faces with fiendish features. The center figure stands to tradition: an Avariel maiden swept in a joyous dance above the clouds. She would be lovely, if not for her gouged eyes and wing stumps. Rather than a pair of royal batons, she holds a stake in each hand. Her eye sockets and the stakes are dripping with blood. A dark ouroboros twists behind her, the theme repeated by the circlet in her hair: a rope of snakes. Perhaps the most disturbing detail is the Avariel's elated smile.

=== Illustration, The Queen of Coins ===

This card is split in three horizontal panels equal in size. The top and bottom are those of an Orc-blood woman of brutish beauty, attired in a wizardly robe. The robe's chest front, sash and skirt are each embroidered with a large circle, three in total, resemblant of sun disk coins. She holds a pristine white mask a small distance away from her tattooed face. In the middle section of the card, the woman's figure is proportionally smaller, with the flight feather tips of Avariel wings in the background. The card is titled "The Queen of Coins".

=== Illustration, The Fool, The Soldier ===

This card is divided vertically, splitting the image of a young Human man in two halves. The figure's left side affects a torn, motley hermit's robe, adorned with bells. His long hair is tangled with twigs and straws, his eye bulging mad. His left hand is placed upon his heart. The figure's right side is clad in chainmail, face and hair concealed behind a helmet. The helmet reaches over his cheekbone, leaving uncovered his ear and a closed eye. His right hand rests upon a long sword's pommel. The card is titled "The Fool / The Soldier".

=== Illustration, The World Tree, The Tower ===

This illustration follows the same style as the tarot cards. However, it departs from the known humanoid characters and into the animalistic. In the background is a dragon, aloof in the sky, wings spread to brace the scene. Below him, a barren willow tree fills most of the space. A large owl is perched, watchful, amidst the swooping branches. Outlined against the tree roots and the river bank is a wolf on the run, carrying a white rose in her teeth. In the background is a forest fire. In the river swims an otter, his shape defined and at the same time, concealed by the current. The card is titled "The World Tree / The Tower".

=== Illustration, The Mother, The Child ===

This card is divided diagonally, joining the image of an elven woman in two mirrored halves. Where the female shape on top is gaunt, scarred and pale, her hair cut close to the skull, the one below has a child-like softness to her face and frame, with long tresses that have never known scissors. Each half reaches a hand to the other, their willowy fingers never quite touching. What truly unites the halves are their haunted eyes. The card is titled "The Mother / The Child".

=== Illustration, The Sailor, The Hanged Man ===

This landscape follows the same style as the tarot cards. Protective, if distant dragon wings span the horizon, offset against dark storm clouds. In a turbulent sea is a ship, tilted precariously over a monstrous wave, nose diving in the void below. A middle-aged Human stands at the ship's stern, the perspective exaggerating his face. He grasps the railing for dear life, eyes wide with what could be wonder, fear, or both. He is not alone; others hold fast behind him. Above them is a crooked humanoid figure hanging upside down off a spreader mast, sporting a maniac's grin. The card is titled "The Sailor / The Hanged Man".

=== Illustration, The Hierophant, Temperance, Justice ===

One of the most complex illustrations in "The Dreamwalkers" is a single frame piece, centered around a crowned Elf woman on a throne. The omnipresent dragon is curled at the throne base, one eye tracking the onlooker. The woman's dainty feet rest onto the dragon's back. The elven woman's face is the one seen across the tarot series, notably in "The Mother / The Child". In her right hand she holds a short sword, the blade inscribed "Justice" and pointed toward her bared breast. In her left hand she holds a set of tipped scales, joined with a ribbon labeled "Temperance". The top measuring bowl is overflowing with water, spilling onto the bottom one. In this final depiction, the Elf's eyes are closed but for a third one, painted on her forehead. She looks terrifying—and terrified. The card is titled "The Hierophant / Justice / Temperance".

*'''Common IC knowledge about Day in Southern Avlis:'''

If you ask about Day around Southern Avlis, you will probably hear a question in turn, "Day of Cha'reth?" Indeed, the fragile elderly elven woman belongs to the family of [[Guild:Healers of Cha'reth|Healers of Cha'reth]] and in-between 2140-2160 has often been seen around Northern [[T'Nanshi]] and [[Ferrell]]. Some may even appoint you to her [[Summerleaf]] home at the T'Nanshi canopies, now used for the needs of the Healers. Day is said to have walked covered from top to toe in the colours of Cha'reth, sparkling white and green, thick shimmering white veil hiding her face and gloves covering her hands. Day has been known to keep company with members of the [[Guild:IvoryOrder|Ivory Order]] of the Sun, and the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order]] of the Forest, being member of the Ivory Order of the Sun for a time, and afterwards initiate to the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order]] of the Light. Her warm voice still is remembered, and her melodious laughter echoes in many hearts. After her long absence since 2160 rumor goes that she has sailed off to a far away land.

*'''Common IC knowledge about Day in Northern Avlis:'''

The citizens of [[Kuras]] see the tiny figure ever veiled and fully covered in snow white robes trimmed with green for the first time in the autumn of 2163. She presents herself as Day, Healer of Cha'reth. In the months before winter falls, Day becomes a frequent sight around the farmlands, gathering herbs and helping the needy, be it with healing or a kind word. In the first evening of the new year to come Day leaves north to [[ Cytheria]], led by [[PCs:Kalgar_Darthvord|Kalgar Darthvord]]. Since then, Day rarely leaves the frozen frontier, which at the time is flooded with refugees from [[Halstead]], overrun with barbarians from [[Tyedu]]. She often is referred to as "Mother Day".

<div class="plainlinks" style="line-height:1.1; font-family: palatino linotype; font-size: 120%; margin: 10px 10px 20px 10px; padding: 15px;">

==== Facts ====
 
Elemmiire y'Hannah Dravanie tel'Suzail is a public figure in [[Visimontium]] from the founding days of the Holy City of [[Andrinor]] and is commonly referred to as Miriel Hana (at a time Miriel Hana [[PCs:Xilo'rulithii|Xilo'rulithii]]). She is a chronicler and longtime member of the City's law enforcement and standing army, until her departure to [[Tyedu]] in 2235. While Miriel's historical significance in Visimontium and beyond is yet to be evaluated, this text focuses on her personality and appearance.

[[PCs:Eudaimon_Dawnblade|Eudaimon Dawnblade]] whom Miriel weds in 2230, has kept the only known portrait of hers. The portrait, painted by [[PCs:Janur_da_Medican|Janur da Medican]] in his [[Mikona]] studio circa 2212, presents Miriel with her student [[NPCs:Helene_Stillwater|Helene]], both in formal dress. The portrait's whereabouts are unknown since Eudaimon's passing in 2242.

The depiction embellishes Miriel's unnatural pallor of complexion and petite stature (under 4'11" at 90 lbs). The latter is emphasized all the more by "Disenchantment / Disillusionment", an imposing staff wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a crystal skull head. Framed by short, silvery white hair, Miriel's drawn face bears an expressionless mask. Her eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare.

In Janur's painting, Miriel is wearing a modest silver necklace, adorned by a small, bright ruby. [[PCs:Delaroweil_Hend|Delaroweil]] of [[SilverFall|Silver Fall]], the artisan behind most of Miriel's jewelry, claims no hand in it. Miriel has been noted in the Avlissian South also for an eclectic wardrobe of her own design. Lady Benneset, the [[PCs:Kate_Benneset|Ice Witch]] of Mikona, keeps a few of Miriel's original designs; unfortunately, the reptile scale gown portrayed by Janur is not among them.

In contrast, the populace of Visimontium remembers Miriel mostly in the red and black uniform of a Sentinel officer, seldom in a [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Trust]] member robe (Ashen, Blue, and eventually White). On taking her [http://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=274&t=126464 farewell] with the City, many have witnessed the scar crossing Miriel's left palm, splitting the insignia of [[Ra-Ghul]] imprinted in her skin. The palm of her right hand bears a replica of [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Mark]], usually found on a Trust mage's right shoulder.

Miriel's voice is a light [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto alto] prone to a soft rasp, as estimated by [[PCs:Arania_Moonshadow|Arania Moondshadow]]. From their time with Miriel as their Sentinel sponsor, [[PCs:Selash|Selash]] of the Green and [[PCs:Vanar_Alhaldren|Vanar]] of the White vividly recall this soft rasp pitching into a shrill croak. Miriel's own Sentinel mentor, the General Marshal [[PCs:Fealith_Anifail|Anifail]], would not deny her short temper.

In the South, Miriel's voice has mostly been heard in the [[Guild:ATU|Avlis Tower University]] lecture halls. "I do not think myself a wizard" are nonetheless Miriel's own words, much to the dismay of her tutor [[PCs:Ialath_Fentellon|Ialath]] of the Ashen (now Ebony). A Fatespinner theoretician, Miriel has openly advocated to evade the use of magic whenever possible. In her practice, she has used solely gestures and no words to cast spells.

A small but no negligible part of Miriel's image as a mage is her familiar: Lomion, a diminutive fruit bat, also known as "library bat". This otherwise docile animal has become infamous for an unhealthy inclination towards sugary foods and beverages, causing it to fly amok. During her years as an outcast to the Trust (the 2160s), Miriel has also been seen in the company of a notably whiny imp.

Miriel is also remembered for employing a melodious semblance to the [[Drangonari#Language|Drangonari]] language. Paired with her outlandish appearance, this is a possible clue to her origin. Those looking for more specific information would be hard-pressed to find any. Beyond the famous anecdote of Miriel's ill-fated planar travel to Avlis, only to awaken in plague quarantined [[Elysia]] during the [[Second Fairy War]], there are no credible notes on her past life.

After the tragic [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=116677 consequences] of bringing the Xilo'rulithii - Noss'tau affair to the public, Miriel has abruptly rejected any inquiries on her personal life, past or present.
 

==== Last Known Rumours ====
 
Five winters pass since Miriel sets off for the Frozen North, until she is once more seen in Visimontium.

Rumour has it that she has undergone an incident, causing her to lose a great many of her personal memories. She has also been rather insistent to introduce herself by her formal name, Elemmiire y'Hannah Dravanie tel'Suzail. Her retirement from active Sentinel duty and her move from the White Order of the Light to the Ashen Order of the Stars are another hot topic in tavern gossip.

With few exceptions, Elemmiire is rarely found in the company of people she has associated with before her memory loss. She is a frequent guest at Visimontium's [[Arcane Imports]] and can be found tending to [[Vorin's Treasure Trove and Rest]] every other week. The Retreat, recently renovated, remains her address of residence.

The most notable change about Miriel, however, is her newfound approach to the Arcane Arts. Reluctant and heavy-handed with magic before, the self-titled Fatespinner of the Stars now draws spells with the ease and apparent pleasure of a child prodigy.

She remains a public figure until the late 2240s when she disappears once more.
 

==== Riddles ====
 
From the first illustrated edition of [[The Dreamwalkers]], circa 2247:
 
: This is the final surviving version of the epics on the Lost Princess' last journey.

: Following her return from Tyedu, Sage Miriel of Visimontium was no longer in possession of any memory of those events, -- or her life on Avlis, -- and was left to gather the pieces on her own. As time progressed, she became aloof. In her words, she was often unable to tell an "if" from a "when", or even a "where".

: I chanced to be the last man to see her. That was when she handed her finished work to me. "It is done," she said with a chuckle and turned away, vanishing in thin air at her next step. It was no magic, arcane or eldritch, that we were able to trace. For all we knew, Elemmiire no longer existed in the fabric of our reality.

: -Sage Terrinus of the ATU

==Description==
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of [[divine]] spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's [[domain|domains]]. These domains grant the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn.

==Level Progression==
'''Spellcasting''': [[Divine]] ([[NWN:Wisdom|Wisdom]]-based, [[NWN:spell failure|spell failure]] from [[NWN:armor|armor]] is ignored). Must have a [[NWN:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score of 10 + the spell’s level to cast a spell.

==Domains==
Each [[NWN:domain|Domain]] gives your cleric access to a special domain power and additional spells. This increases the total number of spells that a cleric may prepare each day by one per spell level. Upon taking her first level of cleric, a character is allowed to select 2 domains from the following list:

*[[Character_Creation#Deities_and_Cleric_Domains|Deities and their Cleric domains]]

*'''[[:Category:Cleric domains|Cleric domain list]]'''

==Spells==

On Avlis, clerics do not draw power from philosophies and abstract concepts, but rather from the deities directly. Clerics are the keepers of religion and ethics (or lack thereof) in the world, and are the source of moral and lifecycle support for the common folk in the world.

==Epic Progression==
'''Bonus Feats''': at level 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 38

'''Epic Cleric Bonus Feats''': [[NWN:Armor Skin|Armor Skin]], [[NWN:Automatic Quicken Spell I - III|Automatic Quicken Spell]], [[NWN:Automatic Silent Spell I - III|Automatic Silent Spell]], [[NWN:Automatic Still Spell I - III|Automatic Still Spell]], [[NWN:Epic Spell Focus|Epic Spell Focus]], [[NWN:Epic Spell Penetration|Epic Spell Penetration]], [[NWN:Greater Spell Focus|Greater Spell Focus]], [[NWN:Great Wisdom|Great Wisdom]], [[NWN:Improved Combat Casting|Improved Combat Casting]], [[NWN:Planar Turning|Planar Turning]]

==Avlis Custom Cure/Inflict Wounds Spells==
Prepared and Spontaneously cast spells benefit from the following change:

Cure/Inflict Minor Wounds 1d6%
Cure/Inflict Light Wounds 1d6%/2CL up to 3d6
Cure/Inflict Moderate Wounds 1d6%/2CL up to 6d6
Cure/Inflict Serious Wounds 1d6%/2CL up to 9d6
Cure/Inflict Critical Wounds 1d6%/2CL up to 12d6

* Healing domain's [[NWN:Empower spell|Empower Spell]] effect stacks with these changes.
* This effect does not apply to Scrolls or Wands.
* An Undead creature can attempt a [[NWN:Will|Will]] save to take half damage from curing spells.

==Cleric Holy Symbols==

=== Mergeable Holy Symbols ===
PCs of all faiths of Avlis (not just clerics) can obtain mergeable holy symbols and robes. More information on those items can be found at [[Holy_Symbols_and_Robes | Holy Symbols and Robes]].

If you play a cleric and have 10 or more cleric levels, you can use the holy symbol to convert other characters. Use the special function on the necklace and target another PC. This PC will then begin a conversation asking if they would like to convert to whichever faith you are. If they say yes, their deity field is changed, and they will get holy robes and a holy symbol created in their inventory.

=== Wieldable Holy Symbols ===
Clerics of Avlissian Gods have wieldable, equippable holy symbols available. To obtain one, convert to an Avlis deity In Game. To use it, equip the generic symbol you are given and use the [[NWN:Activate item|unique power]] on it. It will transform into a symbol of your character's deity. You will then have two special powers available when you put the symbol in your [[NWN:Off-hand slot|off-hand slot]]. Each use of a power costs one prepared spell slot and one [[NWN:Turn undead|turn undead]] use. The level of the spell used depends upon the rank of the deity:

* Greater: 6th level slot
* Intermediate: 4th level slot
* Lesser: 2nd level slot
* Demi: 1st level slot

==== Spoken Prayer ====
As using a Wieldable Holy Symbol would invoke a spoken prayer, you may want to set your own catchphrase. See the [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Clerical_Holy_Symbols|ACP]] chat command reference for instructions.

==== Deity Rank ====
For purposes of holy symbol mechanics, [[:Category:Greater Gods|Greater Deities]] have a rank of 4, [[:Category:Intermediate Gods|Intermediate Deities]] 3, [[:Category:Lesser Gods|Lesser Deities]] 2, and [[:Category:Demigods|Demigods]] 1. If you do not know which rank your deity has, consult the [[Deific Chart]] or the deity entry on the Avlis Wiki.

==== Offensive Effect ====
Outsiders with [[NWN:Hit die|HD]] of up to (caster level/2 * [[Cleric#Deity_Rank|deity rank]]) make a [[NWN:Will|Will]] save vs a [[NWN:Difficulty class|DC]] of (5 + caster level/2 + [[NWN:Charisma|Cha]] modifier). If they fail, they are [[Magic:Banishment|banished]]. If they succeed, they are [[NWN:Stunned|stunned]] for 1 round/level. This effect ignores [[NWN:Spell_resistance|SR]].

Affected Alignment:
LG - All CG/CN/CE Outsiders, All LE/NE/CE Outsiders
NG - All NG/TN/NE Outsiders, All LE/NE/CE Outsiders
CG - All LG/LN/LE Outsiders, All LE/NE/CE Outsiders
LN - All CG/CN/CE Outsiders, All LN/TN/CN Outsiders
TN - All NG/TN/NE Outsiders, All LN/TN/CN Outsiders
CN - All LG/LN/LE Outsiders, All LN/TN/CN Outsiders
LE - All CG/CN/CE Outsiders, All LG/NG/CG Outsiders
NE - All NG/TN/NE Outsiders, All LG/NG/CG Outsiders
CE - All LG/LN/LE Outsiders, All LG/NG/CG Outsiders

Additionally, all hostiles within the [[NWN:Area of effect|AoE]] are [[NWN:Blind|Blinded]] for 1 round, and take [[NWN:Divine damage|Divine damage]] equal to 1d6 per (caster level/4 * deity rank). A successful [[NWN:Will|Will]] save results in halving the damage and ignoring the Blindness. Hostiles with the same deity are unaffected.

==== Defensive Effect====
This is applied to anyone within the [[NWN:Area of effect|AoE]] who has the same Law/Chaos alignment, i.e. a LG priest would benefit LG/LN/LE, and harm CG/CN/CE.

For every 5 caster levels, allies inside the AoE receive 5 Soak [[NWN:Damage reduction|DR]], broken at + [[Cleric#Deity Rank|deity rank]]. So, a 20th level Gorethite would grant +4 Soak 20 DR to all Lawful party members. Additionally, Lawful aligned party members receive +1 [[NWN:Armor bonus|AB]] and +1 to all [[NWN:Saving throw|Saves]] for every 5 caster levels.

Further, all party members of the same deity receive a bonus to AB and a [[NWN:Divine damage|Divine damage]] bonus equal to the caster's [[NWN:Charisma|Cha]] modifier. Anyone (hostile and friendly) of the opposite Law/Chaos alignment must make a [[NWN:Will|Will]] save or receive negative bonuses to AB and all Saves at -1 per 5 caster levels. This effect lasts one round per caster level/2.

==Notes==
* [[Magic:Level#Animal|Animal domain]]'s summon spell modification applies to summon spells cast by multiclassed cleric's other casting class (e.g. wizard 10/cleric 1 [[Magic:Summon Creature I|Summon Creature I]] spell cast from wizard spellbook summons a boar).

* [[Magic:Level#Healing|Healing domain]]'s Empower Healing ability also empowers healing [[NWN:potion|potion]]s and items that cast the affected spells.

* Clerics with the Healing domain will notice that [[NWN:Empower spell|Empowered]] versions of the cure spells will not be twice Empowered.

* Avlis has special [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Spellbooks|Spellbook Management]] chat functions to make clerical spellbook management easier.

* When casting Divine spells on Avlis, you must have a valid Avlis deity in your deity field to cast spells above 3rd level.

== Favored Cleric==
A chosen few clerics may be marked as favored by their deity. In terms of game mechanics, this means an increase in the potency of the cleric's spells and abilities. Favored status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 caster levels, +4 to spell DCs, +50% to applicable spell caps, and is taken into account for select clerical domain powers and holy warrior abilities.

''Note: This is a DM reward for exceptional role playing, not something you can gain from completing a quest in game.''

ASK AWAY

2024-03-31T04:00:54Z

VoidHamlet: 3917 follow-up for Avlis guilds.

= Welcome to Avlis! Ask away! =

[[File:ASKAWAY.png|200px|thumb|right|Clueless no more!]]

This is a copy of the In Game guide which can be perused in every Avlis server's start area. Talk to the namesake NPC to begin (or peruse the guide here).

= How do I meet other PCs? =

Common ways include:

== Looking for Party (LFP) chat ==

[[LFP|Looking for Party]] is the Out of Character (OOC) interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability, Dungeon Masters may send event reminders using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam.

== Open event announcements ==

On Avlis, both players and DMs can set up open events. Open events are tracked on:

=== Event calendar on the Avlis forums ===

On avlis.org, the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=445 Open Events] and the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character] forums allow to add an event to each post. 

If in doubt, refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Avlis Calendar]] for a hands-on example.

=== Event bot in the Discord Team chat ===

You can post events on the [[Avlis Chat|Avlis Discord Team chat]]. Apollo (bot) will automatically notify your attendees 15 minutes prior to an event. Your attendees can also add the event to their Google calendar. Visit Avlis Wiki, [[Event Bot]] for more information. 

'''Important:''' 

[1] Discord is NOT an In Character space. Make an IC event post on the Avlis forums BEFORE you use Apollo to promote it. 
[2] The Discord event bot does NOT interact with the Avlis forum event calendar. You can create an event in either or both locations.

== Join an Avlis guild or DM event group ==

Avlis player guilds typically have private forums, In Game [[Rules:Player Housing|housing]], and are eligible for DM sponsorship. The Avlis Wiki contains a [[:Category:Guilds|list of past & present guilds]]. Not sure how to join (or create!) a guild? Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] on avlis.org. 

DM event groups do not require guild membership. DMs may announce a casting call for regular sessions (eg. "Looking for lvl 8-10, evil oriented, Sunday Euro afternoon sessions"). Keep an eye on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=4 General Discussion] forum on avlis.org.

= How do I gain XP? =

== Minimum XP ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. If a PC did not use more than 1,000 XP of their last week's cap, they are automatically given 500 XP for that week as rollover XP (750 XP if level 21 and above). 

This "minimum" XP creates an automatic base for character advancement. It also gives some incentive for players who do not get the opportunity to log in very often. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== Dungeon crawls ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. When players adventure together in Parties, only half the XP earned will count toward their XP cap. Low level PCs have reduced cap. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== DM awarded XP ==

Dungeon Masters award Experience Points during DM events or everyday roleplay. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' Experience points awarded in this way are known as "XP cookies" or "DM cookies".

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== Crafting system XP gain ==

Challenging recipes from the [[Crafting System]] will add general XP in addition to crafting XP. (Crafting XP is only relevant to the PC's progress in the specific craft or tradeskill.) 

[[Artificing]] will incur a general XP loss, however. Certain recipes from a few other crafts may also have a general XP cost. By default, the crafting menu will alert you to those situations. 

'''Note:''' Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

= How do I gain GP? =

Gold Pieces (GP) are gained through:

== Dungeon and monster loot ==

Avlis loot drops include [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]] sellable items (rare), gold, and recyclable goods. Some dungeons have their own custom drops. Variations exist based on PC level. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Loot System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

== Recycling & Junk System ==

'''''Recycling depots''''' allow you to turn in crafted equipment (including ammunition) in exchange for Tokens. 

'''''Token stores''''' exchange Tokens for crafting components or a limited selection of items rewards. Even if your PC is not a crafter, crafting components are often in demand by P-Merchant NPCs. 

'''''Junk processors''''' are housed at recycling depots. They will accept some Aberration Parts, Vermin Pieces, Dried Oozes, Hides, and Broken Weapons you collect from adventuring. You can choose to get gold for them, or convert them to crafting components for a price. 

'''Important:''' Tokens can be converted to chits & traded between PCs! Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Restrictions: Recycling and DPLS ===

At this time, items acquired through the [[DPLS|Dynamic Placeable Loot System (DPLS)]] and other magical equipment can be turned in at one specific recycling depot only. Selling to [[Biomerchants]] remains a main method for disposal of non-crafted items.

== Sell to Biomerchant NPCs ==

Bioware merchant NPCs, also known as "Biomerchants", are found all over Avlis -- from city marketplaces to obscure locations. 

There are two main categories of Biomerchants on Avlis: 

[[Biomerchants#Generalist|Generalists]] - Will buy (almost) everything; 
[[Biomerchants#Specialists|Specialists]] - Will buy specific types of goods, similar to the ones they sell. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Biomerchants]] for a list of Biomerchants by type and location, restrictions, and more. 

== Sell to P-Merchant NPCs ==

PCs can trade loot, crafted goods, ingredients, etc. with other PCs. As this is not always possible in person, Avlis offers Persistent Merchant NPCs in shared marketplaces and player owned housing. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information.

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== NPC property theft ==

Loot in NPC houses (chests, etc.) can be found in Avlis cities and other locations. Be warned, burglars may be hunted by NPC guards if spotted. Opening containers in NPC housing may shift your PC's alignment toward Chaotic. Failing to pickpocket an NPC may turn it Hostile. Try your luck at your own risk.

== DM events ==

Dungeon Master events may be story oriented, or involve good old fashioned monster killing (or both!). Depending on the nature of the event, rewards may or may not include GP and items.

= What customizations exist? =

Avlis customizations include:

== Essential Tools ==

The following In Game tools are available:

=== Direct Interserver Chat ===

[[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Chat|Chat]] is much like the Looking for Party (LFP) system, but for private messages across servers. 

Use the Player List <code>/who</code> command to list player IDs and character names on all servers. 

Chat supports reply and history command, ignore and more. Type <code>/help chat</code> for details.

=== Looking for Party (LFP) Channel ===

[[LFP|Looking for Party (LFP)]] is the Out of Character interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability & Dungeon Masters may announce events using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam. 

=== Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) includes commands relevant to all Avlis [[:Category:Systems|Systems & Tools]], from saving your character, checking who's is online, emote actions and dice rolls, to class and system customizations, debugs, etc. etc. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] for a comprehensive list of options. Type <code>/help</code> In Game to review common topics. Type <code>/help check</code> for information on XP, tradeskills and more.

=== Emote Radial Menu ===

Right-click on your PC, select Special Abilities and then the anvil icon. This will toggle the [[Emote Radial|Emote Radial]] menu. 

Categories include: Emote actions, setting up temporary placeables (eg. tents), rolling dice, crafting skills report, configuration and special functions (eg. Summon Creature options or Unstick Location).

=== Persistent Map Pins ===

You can place map pins as usual. They will be saved on typing /save, on save through the [[Emote Radial]] menu, and on completing resting. You can check the number of [[Persistent Map Pins|persistent map pins]] saved at any time by typing <code>/check pins</code>.

=== Persistent Notes ===

There are two ways to create persistent notes In Game:

==== Note System ====

The Avlis Note System relies on paper, inks and tools for the creation of notes and letters (items) by PCs. 

Biomerchants selling [[Biomerchants#Books|books]] and/or [[Biomerchants#Artificing|Artificing supplies]] will often carry Note System supplies as well. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Note System]] for instructions.

==== Scribe NPCs ====

Popular [[Tavern Locations|inns]] and major thoroughfares In Game may feature an NPC Scribe standing by a message board. 

Click on the board to read the latest messages. Talk to the Scribe to post a message or to take a written copy (item) with you.

== Magic on Avlis ==

The Avlis Magic System introduces CUSTOM spells, as well as changes to ALL Bioware spells, as detailed on the Avlis Wiki. This aspect of the Magic System is known as the Spellhooking System (SHS). 

The Avlis Magic System includes SHS, Artificing (craft), Advanced Magic Specializations (AMS), Metamagic (item feat), Militant Bonuses, and more. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a complete overview.

=== Restrictions: Arcane magic ===

[[Andria]] (intermediate deity) controls access to [[Arcane]] magic (mortal magic). 

[[:Category:AMS|Advanced Magic Specializations]] (see: PC class specific customizations) require membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] (membership is roleplay driven). 

To become a member of the Academy, approach a PC mage In Game or send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

=== Restrictions: Divine magic ===

On Avlis, each [[Religion|deity]] controls access to Divine magic. Casting Divine spells above level 3 requires that your PC converts to an Avlis god. A PC can also fall Out-Of-Favor with their deity, preventing them from casting ANY Divine spells. [[Ranger|Rangers]] are the only exception, as their powers are not controlled by a god.

== Crafting & tradeskills ==

The Neverwinter Nights crafts and tradeskills are NOT in use on Avlis, with the exception of the Craft Trap skill. 

Avlis crafts & tradeskills include:

=== Avlis Crafts ===

The Avlis Crafting System is integrated with the Recycling & Junk System. Each Avlis craft comes with its own tally of crafting XP. Crafts are often interrelated (eg. products of one craft may be used in another). [[Crafting_System#Tools|Crafting tools]] increase the odds of successfully crafting an item. 

Current Avlis crafts include: Alchemy, Armorcrafting, Artificing, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Gemcutting, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Mining, Tailoring 

Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Crafting System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Avlis Tradeskills ===

Current Avlis tradeskills include: [[Bartending]], [[Cooking]], [[Survivalism]], [[Trap System]]

Unlike most Avlis crafts, Avlis tradeskills do not require access to a dedicated crafting station (placeable). Instead, your crafting station can be placed in & removed on demand. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[:Category:Systems|Systems and Tools]] for more information.

== Persistent storage ==

Persistent storage is retained through server reset. Avlis offers the following options:

=== Inn Room Rentals ===

[[Tavern Locations|Visit an inn]]. Chat up the NPC innkeeper to book an inn room. In some locations, an NPC bartender is also an innkeeper. 

Rent is automatically collected on opening the inn room door. Those unable to pay are evicted (together with their stored items). 

'''Important:''' Do NOT abandon your inn room for more than 1 month. We cannot guarantee the safe return of your stored items past that point.

=== Premade Housing, Storage, Merchants ===

Some Avlis inns and other venues offer persistent storage and housing, which are not rent-based (you can buy it, then sell it back). 

Similarly, there are public marketplaces where you can set up & manage a persistent merchant. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information about this feature. 

Premade (also known as "Prefab") storage, housing and merchants are managed by the Avlis Team. Check the [https://www.avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=423 DM Assist forum] on avlis.org for pricing and availability.

=== Player & Guild Owned Housing ===

Persistent storage and merchants are also available through Avlis Player & Guild Housing. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Rules:Player Housing|Player Housing]] for a list of requirements, price sheets, submission process and more.

== PC race specific ==

Playable Avlis custom races: [[Human, Adomkuro|Adomkuro]] (Vasharan), [[Elf, Avariel|Avariel Elf]], [[Centaur]], [[Changeling]], [[Elf, Drangonari|Drangonari Elf]], [[Elf, Ghost|Ghost Elf]], [[Gnoll]], [[Goblin]], [[Half-Dryad]], [[Half-Nymph]], [[Half-Ogre]], [[Kobold]], [[Orc]], [[Shaahesk]] (Lizardman), [[Dwarf, Stone|Stone Dwarf]], [[Wemic]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Custom Races]] for details on each race. 

Be mindful of ECL (Effective Challenge Rating) greater than 1. At lower levels, losing a level results in re-rolling the ELC padding classes (Beast or Animal). This is as expected.

== PC class specific ==

=== All: Ammunition Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows you to select a bag (or a specific stack) of ammunition, so that it is used when the current stack runs out. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ammunition_Management|Ammunition Management]]) for instructions. Type <code>/help ammo</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Knowledge Skill Specializations ===

The Avlis implementation of Knowledge Skill Specializations follows that of D&D 3.5E (ranging from Arcana to Local knowledge).

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Knowledge Skill Specialization System]] for instructions. Type <code>/knowledge help</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Voice Throw (Familiars, Companions, Summons) ===

With [[Voice Throw]] you can make your PC's companion perform emotive actions and speak without having to possess it. 

'''''Format:''''' Prefix a line with a semicolon (;). So if you type <code>;*yawns*</code>, your PC's companion will emote *yawns*. 

'''''Prerequisite:''''' Auto-emotes must be enabled (type <code>/emote_toggle</code> to check).

=== All Spellcasters: Artificing (Scroll, Wand, Magic Items) ===

Artificing is the art of creating magic items. 

Requirements: No Metamagic feats are required to make magic items. To be an Artificer, a PC must have at least 7 caster levels (more for some classes). Every time an Artificer succeeds at making an item, they lose general XP and gain Artificing (craft) XP. 

Types of Artificing: Scribe Scroll, Craft Wand and permanent enchantment of crafted items such as weapons, armor, helms, shields, & some accessories. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Metamagic Item Feats ===

[[Biomerchants#Artificing|Specialized Biomerchants]] sell (and recharge) [[Magic:Metamagic|Metamagic]] Rods. Metamagic Rods allow you to add any Bioware Metamagic feat (Empower, Extend, Maximize), as well as Energy Substitution and Augment Summon, prior to casting a spell. 

Metamagic Rods allow you to use multiple Metamagic feats at a time. E.g. you can use a Metamagic Rod, Cold before casting Extended Flame Weapon (spell) onto a scroll. If the Artificing attempt succeeds, it will result in a Cold-substituted Extended Flame Weapon scroll. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Spellbook Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows to store, load, delete or lists PC spellbooks. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Spellbooks|Spellbooks]]) for instructions. Type <code>/spellbook</code> to begin.

=== All Spellcasters: Summon Creature Options ===

Use the [[Emote Radial]] menu to select a [[Magic:Summon_Control|Summon Creature type]], prior to casting the Summon Creature spell of your chosen level.

=== Arcane Class(es): Vortex Ranks ===

[[Mortal Magic|Vortex Ranks]] may be granted to PCs who play a notable role in the world of mortal magic. A caster with Vortex Rank 1 will receive +2 to their caster levels, +2 to spell DCs, +25% to applicable spell caps. A caster with Vortex Rank 2 will receive double these numbers. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Barbarian: Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) ===

Barbarian Rage on Avlis is subject to many changes from the Neverwinter Nights standard feats. In addition, there are Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) which rely on item activation and learning curve. 

Current BRS include: Bloodthirster, Demonkin, Flame Dancer, Stonewall, Waverider, Whirling Frenzy, Windwalker 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Barbarian Rage]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Rage Shouts ====

Using Barbarian Rage (feat) will invoke a battle call. You can store and manage custom Rage shouts to use when your PC enters Rage. 

BRS is not required to use this feature. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Barbarian_Rage_Specializations|Barbarian Rage]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/help brs</code> for In Game help.

=== Bard: Avlis Bardic Music ===

Avlis Bardic Music provides Bards with a variety of songs in addition to Bard Song and Curse Song (class feats). Songs are unlocked through Legendary Songbooks. Each use of a Legendary Songbook counts as a single use of the Bard Song class feat. 

Current Bardic Music includes: Cacophony, Countersong, Fascinate, Haven Song, Ironskin Chant, Legionnaire's March, Longstride, Song of Freedom, Song of Valor 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Bardic Music]] for more information.

=== Cleric: Clerical Holy Symbol ===

Clerics of Avlissian [[Deific Chart|Gods]] have equippable holy symbols available. To obtain one, convert to an Avlis deity In Game. To use it, equip the generic symbol you are given and use the unique power on it. It will transform into a symbol of your character's deity. 

When the symbol is equipped in the off-hand slot, your PC will have two special powers available. Each use of a power costs one prepared spell slot and one turn undead use. The level of the spell used depends upon the rank of the deity. 

'''Important:''' Clerical Holy Symbols require that the PC alignment matches the deity alignment. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Cleric]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Spoken Prayers ====

As using a Clerical Holy Symbol would invoke a spoken prayer, you may want to set your own catchphrase. You can store and manage multiple custom prayer texts. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Clerical_Holy_Symbols|Clerical Holy Symbols]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/ahs</code> to begin.

=== Divine Class(es): Favored Status ===

A Divine magic wielder may become a pillar of faith and gain Favored Status. Favored Status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 caster levels, +4 to spell DCs and +50% to applicable spell caps. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Druid/Ranger: Companion Training System (CTS) ===

The Avlis Companion Training System (CTS) significantly expands on the ability of [[Ranger|Rangers]] and [[Druid|Druids]] to make allies of animals, beasts and magical beasts. 

The system goes beyond animal empathy, and spell domination. [[Avenger|Avengers]] of [[Dru'El]] and Shifters are also eligible for CTS. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[CTS]] for more information. Type <code>/cts help</code> for In Game help but keep in mind that CTS is taught In Character.

=== Militant Class: Militant Level Bonuses ===

Militant Level Bonuses are enhanced effects that certain spells have on militant characters. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a [[Magic_System#Militant_Level_Bonuses|breakdown of bonuses per Militant Level]]. 

Adding up ALL class levels from the following classes will give you your Militant Level: 

1. [[Classes|Base Class]] ([[Barbarian]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Ranger]]) 
2. [[Prestige Classes|Prestige Class]] ([[Dwarven Defender]], [[Weapon Master]]) 
3. [[Custom Races|Custom Race]] Class (Beast, Monstrous, Humanoid) 
4. Any Avlis [[Holy Warriors|Holy Warrior]] Class ([[Annihilator]], [[Avenger]], [[Blackguard]], [[Champion]], [[Confounder]], [[Dominator]], [[Equalizer]], [[Justicar]], [[Paladin]]) 

=== Monk: Monk Signature Moves ===

This system allows PCs with [[Monk]] levels to train and gain access to additional abilities known as "signature moves". The abilities are divided into separate schools. 

Current schools include: Closed Palm, Meta Ki Manipulation, Mountain & Sea, Open Fist 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Monk Signature Moves]] for a breakdown of schools and abilities. Type <code>/sigmov</code> for a list of options.

=== Psion: Psionics on Avlis ===

Psionics on Avlis expands on 2nd edition AD&D concepts. Psions may commit to one or more disciplines, as they choose. 

Current Psionic disciplines include: [[Clairsentience]], [[Metapsionics]], [[Psychokinesis]], [[Psychometabolism]], [[Psychoportation]], [[Telepathy]] 

Current Psionic specializations include: [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Augmentations|Psionic Augmentations]] (various), [[Psionic_Specializations#Psychic_Expertise_Feats|Psychic Expertise]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Focus_Feats|Psionic Focus]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Expansive_Mind_Feats|Expansive Mind]] feats 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Psion]] for prerequisites and Avlis Wiki, [[Psionics]] for a comprehensive guide. Type <code>/psi help</code> for In Game help.

==== Favored Psion ====

Psions devoted to [[Angadar]] (lesser god) may eventually attain Favored Status. Favored status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 effective psion levels and a 50% chance that a backfire is transformed into a bonus. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Ranger: Avlis Bonus vs. Favored Enemies ===

Rangers on Avlis can dip ammunition & thrown weapons in certain substances to grant them a temporary bonus against a Favored Enemy. This is performed via the <code>/rangerdip</code> chat command. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]] and Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ranger_Weapon_Dipping|Ranger Weapon Dipping]]) for more information.

=== Ranger, Shadowdancer, Assassin: Hide in Plain Sight ===

On Avlis, all of these classes incorporate the Hide in Plain Sight feat. For Ranger, the ability is available in natural areas only.

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]], [[Shadowdancer|Shadowdancer]] and [[Assassin]] for more information.

=== Rogue: Avlis Pickpocket Modes ===

On Avlis, a [[Rogue]] may choose to pick someone's pocket -- or to plant items in someone's pocket! Type <code>/pp_toggle</code> to switch between modes.

Membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] is a requirement for Advanced Magi Specialization (AMS), with the exception of Psi-Mage of Angadar. PCs with a high rank in an AMS may be able to train your PC. Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] group on avlis.org. 

Current AMS include: [[Arcane Adept]], [[Elementalist]], [[Fatespinner]], [[Psi-Mage]], [[Shadow Matter Illusionist]], [[Transmutant]], [[White Necromancer]], [[Wild Mage]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[AMS]] for more information. 

'''''Note:''''' Currently, a PC can only have one AMS. In this context, the Pale Master Prestige Class is considered AMS.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Familiar Appearance Options ===

An experienced mage may be able to change their familiar's appearance, depending on class level and the familiar base type. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Summon Familiar]] for a handy chart. Familiar appearance options appear in the [[Emote Radial]] menu.

=== Special: Lycanthropy ===

Lycanthropy can be contracted In Game. Afflicted Lycanthropes who elect not to be cured and convert to [[Xenon]] (demigod) become Converted Lycanthropes. Upon conversion, they become able to fully control their change. 

'''Important:''' 
[1] In terms of game mechanics, any Player Character of any alignment may become an Afflicted Lycanthrope. On conversion, the PC will become Evil. The Converted Lycanthrope PC must remain Evil to retain Xenon's gift. 
[2] Evil weretiger converts will find favor with [[Stephanus]] (demigod), as well. 
[3] Lycanthrope PCs CANNOT manifest [[Psionics|Psionic]] powers. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Lycanthropy]] for more information. If your PC is a Converted Lycanthrope, type <code>/lform</code> and <code>/lycan</code> for options.

=== Special: Mount & Ride ===

At this time, only a [[Paladin]] (class) may summon and mount a horse (magical beast). While most other characters can ride a horse (animal), you may not find horses wandering around In Game -- except in DM events. This may change in the future. 

'''Restrictions:''' 
[1] Your PC cannot Polymorph while mounted. 
[2] Your PC cannot enter interior areas or server transitions while mounted. 
[3] [[Custom Races|Custom Avlis races]] cannot ride (unless they have the Paladin class and their appearance is [[Human]] or [[Half-Elf]]). This is an OOC limitation.

=== Training: Holy Warriors ===

If your PC is a convert of one of the Great Nine gods of Avlis, they may choose to follow the path of a Holy Warrior. With the exception of Paladin and Blackguard, access to Holy Warrior classes requires DM unlock. 

Holy Warrior status is dependent on roleplay. Your PC may need to join a Holy Order (Avlis guild). For alternatives, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Avlis Holy Warrior classes include: [[Annihilator]] of [[Aarilax]], [[Avenger]] of [[Dru'El]], [[Blackguard]] of [[Maleki]], [[Champion]] of [[O'Ma]], [[Confounder]] of [[Forian]], [[Dominator]] of [[Valok]], [[Equalizer]] of [[Mikon]], [[Justicar]] of [[Toran]], [[Paladin]] of [[Gorethar]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Holy Warriors]] for more information.

=== Training: Prestige Classes ===

A Prestige Class (PrC) on Avlis is only available if your character meets the mechanic requirements AND roleplay to unlock the class. A character may only have one PrC. 

A few PrCs may be unlocked through an In Game scripted quest. In all other cases, a Player Character with a high rank in a PrC can train others. Once your training is complete, or if unable to find a mentor, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

== PC equipment ==

You can change your equipment's appearance or add special properties through several Avlis systems. Ask around In Game or on the IC forums.

=== Holy Robe & Symbol ===

Your PC can seek conversion to a deity by approaching NPCs in temples, or street clergy. (Some faiths have no permanent In Game representation. Contact [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM] or [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] to convert.) 

On successful conversion, your PC will receive a set of plot items; a [[Holy Symbols and Robes|Holy Robe and a Holy Symbol]]. Each of these items has Unique Property which allows to target other (non-plot) items and merge their property to the Holy Robe or Symbol -- for a price. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Religion]] for a listing of Avlis deities. Many deities will only allow followers of a specific alignment, while others may impose restrictions on race, gender, or no restrictions at all.

=== Alteration Machines ===

Alteration machines allow you to change the appearance of your gear. Alterations come at a GP cost, although experienced crafters may be able to lower their expenses. 

'''''Note:''''' Not all alteration machines accept all types of gear (eg. some may only accept Armor & Clothing). Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Alteration Machines]] for more information.

=== Armor & Clothing Dyes ===

Some Biomerchant NPCs [[Biomerchants#Dyes|sell dyes]] which you can apply to armor or clothing on the go. For a complete chart of dye names and colors, refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Dynamic Dye Color Chart]].

=== Artificed Equipment ===

Certain items manufactured by experienced crafters allow for a skilled Artificer to add permanent bonus properties. This is typically a costly undertaking, both for the Crafter PC and the Artificer PC involved. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] for more information. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' You have a 1:10,000 chance to get an artificeable item from the Avlis [[Loot System]]! When collecting loot, watch out for any item name in color (i.e. non-white).

=== Augment Crystals ===

Token stores, part of the Avlis Recycling System, offer Minor to Superior Augment Crystals (items) in their reward options. 

Augment crystals will ONLY work on an item with an existing enchantment; melee weapons (offensive), armor and shields (defensive). Higher quality crystals require the item to have a stronger enchantment. 

Current augment crystal varies include: Defensive: Crystal of Arrow Deflection, Elemental Defense, Featherweight, Iron Ward; Offensive: Demolition Crystal, Elemental Assault, Phoenix Ash, Truedeath Crystal 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Augment Crystals]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Blunderbuss ===

Blunderbuss (item) may refer to one of several types of Gnomish ammunition launchers. This is a collection of items which improve on the use of ammunition and thrown weapons in their own creative way. Get yours from a [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]]. Beware of backfire.

=== Tyeduan Banes ===

[[Tyeduan Banes]] (items) allow characters of all Classes to enjoy a temporary version of Favored Enemy (the [[Ranger]] feat). Banes work on melee weapons, thrown weapons, ammunition and gloves. You can find Banes vs. all Avlis base race types with different [[Biomerchants]].

== PC appearance ==

For changes to PC equipment appearance, see: PC equipment

=== Hair color change ===

Currently, there is one location on Avlis which offers hair color change -- for a price. Ask around In Game or on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character forums].

== Penalty systems ==

Avlis penalty systems include:

=== Death & dying ===

(Adapted from Avlis Wiki, [[Death and Dying]])

While PC death on Avlis is not permanent, it is meant to be a hindrance. The character's soul travels to [[Dagath]]'s Hall on the Outlands of Concordant Opposition; the so-called '''''death plane'''''. Once there, they will begin a '''''death quest''''' to exit the death plane. 

'''Important:''' IC-ly, PCs may not retain any memories from their death plane visit. 

In terms of game mechanics, when a PC drops below -10 hit points, they are transported to the death plane. They lose ALL non-Plot items in their inventory, as well as 50 XP per level (if above level 2). 

A '''''player corpse placeable''''' is created at the location of their death. It contains the PC's entire inventory (except Plot items and Gold Pieces; those follow the PC to the death plane). 

When the PC completes the death quest & exits the death plane, they are transported to a major temple & recover the lost XP. To retrieve their items, the PC must return to their player corpse; the so-called '''''death run'''''. 

Other ways to '''''exit the death plane''''': 

1. A PC (or an NPC) in the lands of the living may attempt a [[Magic:Resurrection|Resurrection]] spell. This will transport the PC to their player corpse & return the lost XP. 
2. A [[Magic:Raise Dead|Raise Dead]] spell will do the same but lost XP will NOT be returned -- unless the dead PC has already completed their quest. 

Locate your PC's player corpse placeable and click on it. Your items should automatically transfer to your inventory, one by one. It is important to make certain all items have been recovered from the corpse, and that the corpse disappears (sometimes this requires clicking on a empty corpse a second time to make it disappear). If the corpse is left there, and the character dies a second time before a server reset, it is possible that the belongings may be put on the old corpse. 

Last but not least, you will find a '''''player corpse item''''' within the namesake placeable's inventory. It will disappear once your items are transferred. 

If another character picks up this item beforehand, it can be used in two ways: 

1. Carry the fallen: A rare few NPC clerics in major cities will recognize that a PC has another PC's corpse in their inventory, and offer Resurrection on site. 
2. Profane the fallen: Zombie powder is a product of the Herbalism craft. It can create a zombie out of any IG item with "corpse" in its name -- including a player corpse. 

This will not prevent the departed from returning to life but they might be in for a shock!

=== Poison & disease ===

[[Disease|Diseases]] on Avlis require a +50% higher Save than the Bioware originals. 

Poisons, delivered as weapon coating or otherwise, may vary from Mild to Deadly. The Herbalism craft can be used to create poisons and refine venoms, just as well as healers kits. 

Avlis poisons & venoms include: Confusion Poison, Illithid Carnage, Medusa Poison, Psion's Bane, Sleep Poison, Slow Poison; Centipede Venom, Giant Bee Venom, Spider Venom

=== Substance addiction ===

Player characters who frequently turn to alcohol and drugs, may develop substance addiction. [[Addiction]] will clear over time if the PC halts the substance consumption -- but they will experience '''''withdrawal''''' symptoms. Withdrawal is expressed by various penalties to PC abilities. 

Addictive substances on Avlis include: Alcohol (any), Brownsmoke Seeds, Bloodfury Crystals, Deglosian Spirits, Fey Wine, Grainshots, Kao Kao Powder, Mind's Eye Elixir, Nanshaquist, Nemeril's Brew, Orcish Apple Cider, Wizard's Spice

{{OOCKnowledge}}
__NOTOC__

The word "guild" here is actually a misnomer. Guilds in Avlis refer to organizations run by players. While some indeed are crafting and trading guilds focused on certain skills like alchemy or blacksmithing, others are religious groups, druid circles, monk enclaves, or just groups of people with similar interests (see: a breakdown of guilds [[Guilds:by_type|based on their purpose]]). Guilds are a great place to meet PCs who have interests in common with your PC. They are also good places to find other PCs to adventure with or gain support from.

While a DM sponsor is necessary when a guild is initially formed, after that, the organization is wholly run by players. Guilds get their own private forum in the Avlis forums to discuss guild matters. They also get guild tokens, items they can wear that identify them as members of that guild. Some guilds even have their own uniforms and magic items.

To join a guild it is best to ask around about that guild in-game by speaking with PCs. If you are unable to find a member of that guild online (perhaps due to time zone differences), then it is acceptable to send a PM to the moderator of the guild's forum.

== Guild Types ==

There are '''TWO''' kinds of guilds on Avlis: One kind created by players, and one kind created by the people who made Avlis.

These differences are very practical, and you should keep them in mind.

=== Guild Type 1: Player-Made Guild ===

Note: As of the 2020s, active Type 1 Avlis guilds are often '''Type 1.5''', which incorporates one or more [[:Category:NPCs|NPCs]].

Examples of this are [[Guild:AAAA|AAAA]], [[Guild:AKN|AKN]], [[Guild:ANRA|ANRA]], Order of --Insert Here--.

Players conceived of and made these guilds. They thought them up, and they proposed them to DM's. The process then began for them to become manifest on the server.

ICly, the members of these guilds are only Players ([[Economy|NPC merchants]] don't count). So if Order of --Insert Here-- has 6 PCs, then ICly, the ENTIRE Order has 6 people in it.

=== Guild Type 2: Built-In Avlis Guild ===

Examples of this are armies, --Insert City-- guard, [[Guild:Raven|Raven]], [[Guild:ShadowDirks|Shadow Dirks]], Church of --Insert God name--, Government of --Insert country/city--, and the [[Mortal_Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] Houses.

"Guild" is actually a bad name for these groups. They are not guilds. Guilds are groups that players use to get together socially and fulfill some common goal they have among themselves. These groups don't do that. These groups are an integral part of Avlis' religious, social, government, and magical structure. They are VERY different from typical guilds.

For example, someone who is a high cleric of a church in an area is not just in control of 6 or 8 clerics played by PCs, they are in control of hundreds or thousands of followers of their god in their area, few of which are actually represented by NPCs.

== Creating Your Own Player Run Guild ==

There are some criteria that your guild must match before getting official guild status on Avlis:

# Your guild must fit in with the existing background of Avlis (this is the most important one).
# Your guild must have a serious group of players that are active enough to support its continued existence. Somewhere in the region of 8 to 10 characters that are on regularly is what you should aim for at the least.
# You need a DM sponsor. One of the DMs must agree to help you get organized as a guild and he will be there for the guild to ask the questions from.

=== Benefits ===

# The right to guild items
#* 1000 GP toolset value for normal members
#* 2000 GP toolset value for officers
#* 5000 GP toolset value for leaders
#* ''If you are interested in creating guild items, refer to [https://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=274972#p274972 this forum post].''
# The right to a separate private discussion forum
# The right to build a guild house somewhere (you still have to pay for it, but there are some things that are allowed for guild houses that we wouldn't even consider in a regular PC house).
# You have a DM that guides your guild at least in OOC matters.

ASK AWAY

2024-03-30T20:11:29Z

VoidHamlet: Capitalization.

= Welcome to Avlis! Ask away! =

[[File:ASKAWAY.png|200px|thumb|right|Clueless no more!]]

This is a copy of the In Game guide which can be perused in every Avlis server's start area. Talk to the namesake NPC to begin (or peruse the guide here).

= How do I meet other PCs? =

Common ways include:

== Looking for Party (LFP) chat ==

[[LFP|Looking for Party]] is the Out of Character (OOC) interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability, Dungeon Masters may send event reminders using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam.

== Open event announcements ==

On Avlis, both players and DMs can set up open events. Open events are tracked on:

=== Event calendar on the Avlis forums ===

On avlis.org, the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=445 Open Events] and the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character] forums allow to add an event to each post. 

If in doubt, refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Avlis Calendar]] for a hands-on example.

=== Event bot in the Discord Team chat ===

You can post events on the [[Avlis Chat|Avlis Discord Team chat]]. Apollo (bot) will automatically notify your attendees 15 minutes prior to an event. Your attendees can also add the event to their Google calendar. Visit Avlis Wiki, [[Event Bot]] for more information. 

'''Important:''' 

[1] Discord is NOT an In Character space. Make an IC event post on the Avlis forums BEFORE you use Apollo to promote it. 
[2] The Discord event bot does NOT interact with the Avlis forum event calendar. You can create an event in either or both locations.

== Join an Avlis guild or DM event group ==

Avlis guilds can be player-made (eg. [[Guild:Deglos_Brigade|Deglos Brigade]], [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maidens]]) or part of a broader NPC organization (e.g. [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Trust]], [[Guild:MChekArmy|M'Chekian Army]]). 

Avlis guilds often have private forums, IG [[Rules:Player Housing|guild housing]], and are eligible for DM sponsorship. The Avlis Wiki contains a [[:Category:Guilds|list of past & present guilds]]. Not sure how to join (or create!) a guild? Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] on avlis.org. 

DM event groups do not require guild membership. DMs may announce a casting call for regular sessions (eg. "Looking for lvl 8-10, evil oriented, Sunday Euro afternoon sessions"). Keep an eye on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=4 General Discussion] forum on avlis.org.

= How do I gain XP? =

== Minimum XP ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. If a PC did not use more than 1,000 XP of their last week's cap, they are automatically given 500 XP for that week as rollover XP (750 XP if level 21 and above). 

This "minimum" XP creates an automatic base for character advancement. It also gives some incentive for players who do not get the opportunity to log in very often. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== Dungeon crawls ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. When players adventure together in Parties, only half the XP earned will count toward their XP cap. Low level PCs have reduced cap. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== DM awarded XP ==

Dungeon Masters award Experience Points during DM events or everyday roleplay. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' Experience points awarded in this way are known as "XP cookies" or "DM cookies".

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== Crafting system XP gain ==

Challenging recipes from the [[Crafting System]] will add general XP in addition to crafting XP. (Crafting XP is only relevant to the PC's progress in the specific craft or tradeskill.) 

[[Artificing]] will incur a general XP loss, however. Certain recipes from a few other crafts may also have a general XP cost. By default, the crafting menu will alert you to those situations. 

'''Note:''' Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

= How do I gain GP? =

Gold Pieces (GP) are gained through:

== Dungeon and monster loot ==

Avlis loot drops include [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]] sellable items (rare), gold, and recyclable goods. Some dungeons have their own custom drops. Variations exist based on PC level. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Loot System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

== Recycling & Junk System ==

'''''Recycling depots''''' allow you to turn in crafted equipment (including ammunition) in exchange for Tokens. 

'''''Token stores''''' exchange Tokens for crafting components or a limited selection of items rewards. Even if your PC is not a crafter, crafting components are often in demand by P-Merchant NPCs. 

'''''Junk processors''''' are housed at recycling depots. They will accept some Aberration Parts, Vermin Pieces, Dried Oozes, Hides, and Broken Weapons you collect from adventuring. You can choose to get gold for them, or convert them to crafting components for a price. 

'''Important:''' Tokens can be converted to chits & traded between PCs! Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Restrictions: Recycling and DPLS ===

At this time, items acquired through the [[DPLS|Dynamic Placeable Loot System (DPLS)]] and other magical equipment can be turned in at one specific recycling depot only. Selling to [[Biomerchants]] remains a main method for disposal of non-crafted items.

== Sell to Biomerchant NPCs ==

Bioware merchant NPCs, also known as "Biomerchants", are found all over Avlis -- from city marketplaces to obscure locations. 

There are two main categories of Biomerchants on Avlis: 

[[Biomerchants#Generalist|Generalists]] - Will buy (almost) everything; 
[[Biomerchants#Specialists|Specialists]] - Will buy specific types of goods, similar to the ones they sell. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Biomerchants]] for a list of Biomerchants by type and location, restrictions, and more. 

== Sell to P-Merchant NPCs ==

PCs can trade loot, crafted goods, ingredients, etc. with other PCs. As this is not always possible in person, Avlis offers Persistent Merchant NPCs in shared marketplaces and player owned housing. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information.

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== NPC property theft ==

Loot in NPC houses (chests, etc.) can be found in Avlis cities and other locations. Be warned, burglars may be hunted by NPC guards if spotted. Opening containers in NPC housing may shift your PC's alignment toward Chaotic. Failing to pickpocket an NPC may turn it Hostile. Try your luck at your own risk.

== DM events ==

Dungeon Master events may be story oriented, or involve good old fashioned monster killing (or both!). Depending on the nature of the event, rewards may or may not include GP and items.

= What customizations exist? =

Avlis customizations include:

== Essential Tools ==

The following In Game tools are available:

=== Direct Interserver Chat ===

[[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Chat|Chat]] is much like the Looking for Party (LFP) system, but for private messages across servers. 

Use the Player List <code>/who</code> command to list player IDs and character names on all servers. 

Chat supports reply and history command, ignore and more. Type <code>/help chat</code> for details.

=== Looking for Party (LFP) Channel ===

[[LFP|Looking for Party (LFP)]] is the Out of Character interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability & Dungeon Masters may announce events using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam. 

=== Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) includes commands relevant to all Avlis [[:Category:Systems|Systems & Tools]], from saving your character, checking who's is online, emote actions and dice rolls, to class and system customizations, debugs, etc. etc. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] for a comprehensive list of options. Type <code>/help</code> In Game to review common topics. Type <code>/help check</code> for information on XP, tradeskills and more.

=== Emote Radial Menu ===

Right-click on your PC, select Special Abilities and then the anvil icon. This will toggle the [[Emote Radial|Emote Radial]] menu. 

Categories include: Emote actions, setting up temporary placeables (eg. tents), rolling dice, crafting skills report, configuration and special functions (eg. Summon Creature options or Unstick Location).

=== Persistent Map Pins ===

You can place map pins as usual. They will be saved on typing /save, on save through the [[Emote Radial]] menu, and on completing resting. You can check the number of [[Persistent Map Pins|persistent map pins]] saved at any time by typing <code>/check pins</code>.

=== Persistent Notes ===

There are two ways to create persistent notes In Game:

==== Note System ====

The Avlis Note System relies on paper, inks and tools for the creation of notes and letters (items) by PCs. 

Biomerchants selling [[Biomerchants#Books|books]] and/or [[Biomerchants#Artificing|Artificing supplies]] will often carry Note System supplies as well. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Note System]] for instructions.

==== Scribe NPCs ====

Popular [[Tavern Locations|inns]] and major thoroughfares In Game may feature an NPC Scribe standing by a message board. 

Click on the board to read the latest messages. Talk to the Scribe to post a message or to take a written copy (item) with you.

== Magic on Avlis ==

The Avlis Magic System introduces CUSTOM spells, as well as changes to ALL Bioware spells, as detailed on the Avlis Wiki. This aspect of the Magic System is known as the Spellhooking System (SHS). 

The Avlis Magic System includes SHS, Artificing (craft), Advanced Magic Specializations (AMS), Metamagic (item feat), Militant Bonuses, and more. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a complete overview.

=== Restrictions: Arcane magic ===

[[Andria]] (intermediate deity) controls access to [[Arcane]] magic (mortal magic). 

[[:Category:AMS|Advanced Magic Specializations]] (see: PC class specific customizations) require membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] (membership is roleplay driven). 

To become a member of the Academy, approach a PC mage In Game or send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

=== Restrictions: Divine magic ===

On Avlis, each [[Religion|deity]] controls access to Divine magic. Casting Divine spells above level 3 requires that your PC converts to an Avlis god. A PC can also fall Out-Of-Favor with their deity, preventing them from casting ANY Divine spells. [[Ranger|Rangers]] are the only exception, as their powers are not controlled by a god.

== Crafting & tradeskills ==

The Neverwinter Nights crafts and tradeskills are NOT in use on Avlis, with the exception of the Craft Trap skill. 

Avlis crafts & tradeskills include:

=== Avlis Crafts ===

The Avlis Crafting System is integrated with the Recycling & Junk System. Each Avlis craft comes with its own tally of crafting XP. Crafts are often interrelated (eg. products of one craft may be used in another). [[Crafting_System#Tools|Crafting tools]] increase the odds of successfully crafting an item. 

Current Avlis crafts include: Alchemy, Armorcrafting, Artificing, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Gemcutting, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Mining, Tailoring 

Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Crafting System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Avlis Tradeskills ===

Current Avlis tradeskills include: [[Bartending]], [[Cooking]], [[Survivalism]], [[Trap System]]

Unlike most Avlis crafts, Avlis tradeskills do not require access to a dedicated crafting station (placeable). Instead, your crafting station can be placed in & removed on demand. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[:Category:Systems|Systems and Tools]] for more information.

== Persistent storage ==

Persistent storage is retained through server reset. Avlis offers the following options:

=== Inn Room Rentals ===

[[Tavern Locations|Visit an inn]]. Chat up the NPC innkeeper to book an inn room. In some locations, an NPC bartender is also an innkeeper. 

Rent is automatically collected on opening the inn room door. Those unable to pay are evicted (together with their stored items). 

'''Important:''' Do NOT abandon your inn room for more than 1 month. We cannot guarantee the safe return of your stored items past that point.

=== Premade Housing, Storage, Merchants ===

Some Avlis inns and other venues offer persistent storage and housing, which are not rent-based (you can buy it, then sell it back). 

Similarly, there are public marketplaces where you can set up & manage a persistent merchant. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information about this feature. 

Premade (also known as "Prefab") storage, housing and merchants are managed by the Avlis Team. Check the [https://www.avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=423 DM Assist forum] on avlis.org for pricing and availability.

=== Player & Guild Owned Housing ===

Persistent storage and merchants are also available through Avlis Player & Guild Housing. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Rules:Player Housing|Player Housing]] for a list of requirements, price sheets, submission process and more.

== PC race specific ==

Playable Avlis custom races: [[Human, Adomkuro|Adomkuro]] (Vasharan), [[Elf, Avariel|Avariel Elf]], [[Centaur]], [[Changeling]], [[Elf, Drangonari|Drangonari Elf]], [[Elf, Ghost|Ghost Elf]], [[Gnoll]], [[Goblin]], [[Half-Dryad]], [[Half-Nymph]], [[Half-Ogre]], [[Kobold]], [[Orc]], [[Shaahesk]] (Lizardman), [[Dwarf, Stone|Stone Dwarf]], [[Wemic]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Custom Races]] for details on each race. 

Be mindful of ECL (Effective Challenge Rating) greater than 1. At lower levels, losing a level results in re-rolling the ELC padding classes (Beast or Animal). This is as expected.

== PC class specific ==

=== All: Ammunition Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows you to select a bag (or a specific stack) of ammunition, so that it is used when the current stack runs out. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ammunition_Management|Ammunition Management]]) for instructions. Type <code>/help ammo</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Knowledge Skill Specializations ===

The Avlis implementation of Knowledge Skill Specializations follows that of D&D 3.5E (ranging from Arcana to Local knowledge).

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Knowledge Skill Specialization System]] for instructions. Type <code>/knowledge help</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Voice Throw (Familiars, Companions, Summons) ===

With [[Voice Throw]] you can make your PC's companion perform emotive actions and speak without having to possess it. 

'''''Format:''''' Prefix a line with a semicolon (;). So if you type <code>;*yawns*</code>, your PC's companion will emote *yawns*. 

'''''Prerequisite:''''' Auto-emotes must be enabled (type <code>/emote_toggle</code> to check).

=== All Spellcasters: Artificing (Scroll, Wand, Magic Items) ===

Artificing is the art of creating magic items. 

Requirements: No Metamagic feats are required to make magic items. To be an Artificer, a PC must have at least 7 caster levels (more for some classes). Every time an Artificer succeeds at making an item, they lose general XP and gain Artificing (craft) XP. 

Types of Artificing: Scribe Scroll, Craft Wand and permanent enchantment of crafted items such as weapons, armor, helms, shields, & some accessories. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Metamagic Item Feats ===

[[Biomerchants#Artificing|Specialized Biomerchants]] sell (and recharge) [[Magic:Metamagic|Metamagic]] Rods. Metamagic Rods allow you to add any Bioware Metamagic feat (Empower, Extend, Maximize), as well as Energy Substitution and Augment Summon, prior to casting a spell. 

Metamagic Rods allow you to use multiple Metamagic feats at a time. E.g. you can use a Metamagic Rod, Cold before casting Extended Flame Weapon (spell) onto a scroll. If the Artificing attempt succeeds, it will result in a Cold-substituted Extended Flame Weapon scroll. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Spellbook Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows to store, load, delete or lists PC spellbooks. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Spellbooks|Spellbooks]]) for instructions. Type <code>/spellbook</code> to begin.

=== All Spellcasters: Summon Creature Options ===

Use the [[Emote Radial]] menu to select a [[Magic:Summon_Control|Summon Creature type]], prior to casting the Summon Creature spell of your chosen level.

=== Arcane Class(es): Vortex Ranks ===

[[Mortal Magic|Vortex Ranks]] may be granted to PCs who play a notable role in the world of mortal magic. A caster with Vortex Rank 1 will receive +2 to their caster levels, +2 to spell DCs, +25% to applicable spell caps. A caster with Vortex Rank 2 will receive double these numbers. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Barbarian: Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) ===

Barbarian Rage on Avlis is subject to many changes from the Neverwinter Nights standard feats. In addition, there are Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) which rely on item activation and learning curve. 

Current BRS include: Bloodthirster, Demonkin, Flame Dancer, Stonewall, Waverider, Whirling Frenzy, Windwalker 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Barbarian Rage]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Rage Shouts ====

Using Barbarian Rage (feat) will invoke a battle call. You can store and manage custom Rage shouts to use when your PC enters Rage. 

BRS is not required to use this feature. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Barbarian_Rage_Specializations|Barbarian Rage]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/help brs</code> for In Game help.

=== Bard: Avlis Bardic Music ===

Avlis Bardic Music provides Bards with a variety of songs in addition to Bard Song and Curse Song (class feats). Songs are unlocked through Legendary Songbooks. Each use of a Legendary Songbook counts as a single use of the Bard Song class feat. 

Current Bardic Music includes: Cacophony, Countersong, Fascinate, Haven Song, Ironskin Chant, Legionnaire's March, Longstride, Song of Freedom, Song of Valor 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Bardic Music]] for more information.

=== Cleric: Clerical Holy Symbol ===

Clerics of Avlissian [[Deific Chart|Gods]] have equippable holy symbols available. To obtain one, convert to an Avlis deity In Game. To use it, equip the generic symbol you are given and use the unique power on it. It will transform into a symbol of your character's deity. 

When the symbol is equipped in the off-hand slot, your PC will have two special powers available. Each use of a power costs one prepared spell slot and one turn undead use. The level of the spell used depends upon the rank of the deity. 

'''Important:''' Clerical Holy Symbols require that the PC alignment matches the deity alignment. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Cleric]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Spoken Prayers ====

As using a Clerical Holy Symbol would invoke a spoken prayer, you may want to set your own catchphrase. You can store and manage multiple custom prayer texts. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Clerical_Holy_Symbols|Clerical Holy Symbols]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/ahs</code> to begin.

=== Divine Class(es): Favored Status ===

A Divine magic wielder may become a pillar of faith and gain Favored Status. Favored Status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 caster levels, +4 to spell DCs and +50% to applicable spell caps. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Druid/Ranger: Companion Training System (CTS) ===

The Avlis Companion Training System (CTS) significantly expands on the ability of [[Ranger|Rangers]] and [[Druid|Druids]] to make allies of animals, beasts and magical beasts. 

The system goes beyond animal empathy, and spell domination. [[Avenger|Avengers]] of [[Dru'El]] and Shifters are also eligible for CTS. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[CTS]] for more information. Type <code>/cts help</code> for In Game help but keep in mind that CTS is taught In Character.

=== Militant Class: Militant Level Bonuses ===

Militant Level Bonuses are enhanced effects that certain spells have on militant characters. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a [[Magic_System#Militant_Level_Bonuses|breakdown of bonuses per Militant Level]]. 

Adding up ALL class levels from the following classes will give you your Militant Level: 

1. [[Classes|Base Class]] ([[Barbarian]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Ranger]]) 
2. [[Prestige Classes|Prestige Class]] ([[Dwarven Defender]], [[Weapon Master]]) 
3. [[Custom Races|Custom Race]] Class (Beast, Monstrous, Humanoid) 
4. Any Avlis [[Holy Warriors|Holy Warrior]] Class ([[Annihilator]], [[Avenger]], [[Blackguard]], [[Champion]], [[Confounder]], [[Dominator]], [[Equalizer]], [[Justicar]], [[Paladin]]) 

=== Monk: Monk Signature Moves ===

This system allows PCs with [[Monk]] levels to train and gain access to additional abilities known as "signature moves". The abilities are divided into separate schools. 

Current schools include: Closed Palm, Meta Ki Manipulation, Mountain & Sea, Open Fist 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Monk Signature Moves]] for a breakdown of schools and abilities. Type <code>/sigmov</code> for a list of options.

=== Psion: Psionics on Avlis ===

Psionics on Avlis expands on 2nd edition AD&D concepts. Psions may commit to one or more disciplines, as they choose. 

Current Psionic disciplines include: [[Clairsentience]], [[Metapsionics]], [[Psychokinesis]], [[Psychometabolism]], [[Psychoportation]], [[Telepathy]] 

Current Psionic specializations include: [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Augmentations|Psionic Augmentations]] (various), [[Psionic_Specializations#Psychic_Expertise_Feats|Psychic Expertise]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Focus_Feats|Psionic Focus]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Expansive_Mind_Feats|Expansive Mind]] feats 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Psion]] for prerequisites and Avlis Wiki, [[Psionics]] for a comprehensive guide. Type <code>/psi help</code> for In Game help.

==== Favored Psion ====

Psions devoted to [[Angadar]] (lesser god) may eventually attain Favored Status. Favored status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 effective psion levels and a 50% chance that a backfire is transformed into a bonus. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Ranger: Avlis Bonus vs. Favored Enemies ===

Rangers on Avlis can dip ammunition & thrown weapons in certain substances to grant them a temporary bonus against a Favored Enemy. This is performed via the <code>/rangerdip</code> chat command. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]] and Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ranger_Weapon_Dipping|Ranger Weapon Dipping]]) for more information.

=== Ranger, Shadowdancer, Assassin: Hide in Plain Sight ===

On Avlis, all of these classes incorporate the Hide in Plain Sight feat. For Ranger, the ability is available in natural areas only.

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]], [[Shadowdancer|Shadowdancer]] and [[Assassin]] for more information.

=== Rogue: Avlis Pickpocket Modes ===

On Avlis, a [[Rogue]] may choose to pick someone's pocket -- or to plant items in someone's pocket! Type <code>/pp_toggle</code> to switch between modes.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Advanced Magic Specialization (AMS) ===

Membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] is a requirement for Advanced Magi Specialization (AMS), with the exception of Psi-Mage of Angadar. PCs with a high rank in an AMS may be able to train your PC. Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] group on avlis.org. 

Current AMS include: [[Arcane Adept]], [[Elementalist]], [[Fatespinner]], [[Psi-Mage]], [[Shadow Matter Illusionist]], [[Transmutant]], [[White Necromancer]], [[Wild Mage]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[AMS]] for more information. 

'''''Note:''''' Currently, a PC can only have one AMS. In this context, the Pale Master Prestige Class is considered AMS.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Familiar Appearance Options ===

An experienced mage may be able to change their familiar's appearance, depending on class level and the familiar base type. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Summon Familiar]] for a handy chart. Familiar appearance options appear in the [[Emote Radial]] menu.

=== Special: Lycanthropy ===

Lycanthropy can be contracted In Game. Afflicted Lycanthropes who elect not to be cured and convert to [[Xenon]] (demigod) become Converted Lycanthropes. Upon conversion, they become able to fully control their change. 

'''Important:''' 
[1] In terms of game mechanics, any Player Character of any alignment may become an Afflicted Lycanthrope. On conversion, the PC will become Evil. The Converted Lycanthrope PC must remain Evil to retain Xenon's gift. 
[2] Evil weretiger converts will find favor with [[Stephanus]] (demigod), as well. 
[3] Lycanthrope PCs CANNOT manifest [[Psionics|Psionic]] powers. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Lycanthropy]] for more information. If your PC is a Converted Lycanthrope, type <code>/lform</code> and <code>/lycan</code> for options.

=== Special: Mount & Ride ===

At this time, only a [[Paladin]] (class) may summon and mount a horse (magical beast). While most other characters can ride a horse (animal), you may not find horses wandering around In Game -- except in DM events. This may change in the future. 

'''Restrictions:''' 
[1] Your PC cannot Polymorph while mounted. 
[2] Your PC cannot enter interior areas or server transitions while mounted. 
[3] [[Custom Races|Custom Avlis races]] cannot ride (unless they have the Paladin class and their appearance is [[Human]] or [[Half-Elf]]). This is an OOC limitation.

=== Training: Holy Warriors ===

If your PC is a convert of one of the Great Nine gods of Avlis, they may choose to follow the path of a Holy Warrior. With the exception of Paladin and Blackguard, access to Holy Warrior classes requires DM unlock. 

Holy Warrior status is dependent on roleplay. Your PC may need to join a Holy Order (Avlis guild). For alternatives, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Avlis Holy Warrior classes include: [[Annihilator]] of [[Aarilax]], [[Avenger]] of [[Dru'El]], [[Blackguard]] of [[Maleki]], [[Champion]] of [[O'Ma]], [[Confounder]] of [[Forian]], [[Dominator]] of [[Valok]], [[Equalizer]] of [[Mikon]], [[Justicar]] of [[Toran]], [[Paladin]] of [[Gorethar]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Holy Warriors]] for more information.

=== Training: Prestige Classes ===

A Prestige Class (PrC) on Avlis is only available if your character meets the mechanic requirements AND roleplay to unlock the class. A character may only have one PrC. 

A few PrCs may be unlocked through an In Game scripted quest. In all other cases, a Player Character with a high rank in a PrC can train others. Once your training is complete, or if unable to find a mentor, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Prestige classes allowed on Avlis are: [[Arcane Archer]], [[Assassin]], [[Avlis Dragon Disciple]], [[Dwarven Defender]], [[Pale Master]], [[Shadowdancer]], [[Shifter]], [[Weapon Master]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Prestige Classes]] for prerequisites. See also: [[Holy Warriors]]

== PC equipment ==

You can change your equipment's appearance or add special properties through several Avlis systems. Ask around In Game or on the IC forums.

=== Holy Robe & Symbol ===

Your PC can seek conversion to a deity by approaching NPCs in temples, or street clergy. (Some faiths have no permanent In Game representation. Contact [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM] or [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] to convert.) 

On successful conversion, your PC will receive a set of plot items; a [[Holy Symbols and Robes|Holy Robe and a Holy Symbol]]. Each of these items has Unique Property which allows to target other (non-plot) items and merge their property to the Holy Robe or Symbol -- for a price. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Religion]] for a listing of Avlis deities. Many deities will only allow followers of a specific alignment, while others may impose restrictions on race, gender, or no restrictions at all.

=== Alteration Machines ===

Alteration machines allow you to change the appearance of your gear. Alterations come at a GP cost, although experienced crafters may be able to lower their expenses. 

'''''Note:''''' Not all alteration machines accept all types of gear (eg. some may only accept Armor & Clothing). Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Alteration Machines]] for more information.

=== Armor & Clothing Dyes ===

Some Biomerchant NPCs [[Biomerchants#Dyes|sell dyes]] which you can apply to armor or clothing on the go. For a complete chart of dye names and colors, refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Dynamic Dye Color Chart]].

=== Artificed Equipment ===

Certain items manufactured by experienced crafters allow for a skilled Artificer to add permanent bonus properties. This is typically a costly undertaking, both for the Crafter PC and the Artificer PC involved. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] for more information. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' You have a 1:10,000 chance to get an artificeable item from the Avlis [[Loot System]]! When collecting loot, watch out for any item name in color (i.e. non-white).

=== Augment Crystals ===

Token stores, part of the Avlis Recycling System, offer Minor to Superior Augment Crystals (items) in their reward options. 

Augment crystals will ONLY work on an item with an existing enchantment; melee weapons (offensive), armor and shields (defensive). Higher quality crystals require the item to have a stronger enchantment. 

Current augment crystal varies include: Defensive: Crystal of Arrow Deflection, Elemental Defense, Featherweight, Iron Ward; Offensive: Demolition Crystal, Elemental Assault, Phoenix Ash, Truedeath Crystal 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Augment Crystals]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Blunderbuss ===

Blunderbuss (item) may refer to one of several types of Gnomish ammunition launchers. This is a collection of items which improve on the use of ammunition and thrown weapons in their own creative way. Get yours from a [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]]. Beware of backfire.

=== Tyeduan Banes ===

[[Tyeduan Banes]] (items) allow characters of all Classes to enjoy a temporary version of Favored Enemy (the [[Ranger]] feat). Banes work on melee weapons, thrown weapons, ammunition and gloves. You can find Banes vs. all Avlis base race types with different [[Biomerchants]].

== PC appearance ==

For changes to PC equipment appearance, see: PC equipment

=== Character description change ===

You can change your character description at any time. Type <code>/help description</code> to use chat based input. Type <code>/setdescription</code> to use pop-up window based input.

=== Character portrait change ===

You can change your [[Custom_Portrait#Changing_Your_Portrait|character portrait]] at any time. Type <code>/pickportrait</code> to open the In Game menu.

=== Hair color change ===

Currently, there is one location on Avlis which offers hair color change -- for a price. Ask around In Game or on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character forums].

== Penalty systems ==

Avlis penalty systems include:

=== Death & dying ===

(Adapted from Avlis Wiki, [[Death and Dying]])

While PC death on Avlis is not permanent, it is meant to be a hindrance. The character's soul travels to [[Dagath]]'s Hall on the Outlands of Concordant Opposition; the so-called '''''death plane'''''. Once there, they will begin a '''''death quest''''' to exit the death plane. 

'''Important:''' IC-ly, PCs may not retain any memories from their death plane visit. 

In terms of game mechanics, when a PC drops below -10 hit points, they are transported to the death plane. They lose ALL non-Plot items in their inventory, as well as 50 XP per level (if above level 2). 

A '''''player corpse placeable''''' is created at the location of their death. It contains the PC's entire inventory (except Plot items and Gold Pieces; those follow the PC to the death plane). 

When the PC completes the death quest & exits the death plane, they are transported to a major temple & recover the lost XP. To retrieve their items, the PC must return to their player corpse; the so-called '''''death run'''''. 

Other ways to '''''exit the death plane''''': 

1. A PC (or an NPC) in the lands of the living may attempt a [[Magic:Resurrection|Resurrection]] spell. This will transport the PC to their player corpse & return the lost XP. 
2. A [[Magic:Raise Dead|Raise Dead]] spell will do the same but lost XP will NOT be returned -- unless the dead PC has already completed their quest. 

Locate your PC's player corpse placeable and click on it. Your items should automatically transfer to your inventory, one by one. It is important to make certain all items have been recovered from the corpse, and that the corpse disappears (sometimes this requires clicking on a empty corpse a second time to make it disappear). If the corpse is left there, and the character dies a second time before a server reset, it is possible that the belongings may be put on the old corpse. 

Last but not least, you will find a '''''player corpse item''''' within the namesake placeable's inventory. It will disappear once your items are transferred. 

If another character picks up this item beforehand, it can be used in two ways: 

1. Carry the fallen: A rare few NPC clerics in major cities will recognize that a PC has another PC's corpse in their inventory, and offer Resurrection on site. 
2. Profane the fallen: Zombie powder is a product of the Herbalism craft. It can create a zombie out of any IG item with "corpse" in its name -- including a player corpse. 

This will not prevent the departed from returning to life but they might be in for a shock!

=== Poison & disease ===

[[Disease|Diseases]] on Avlis require a +50% higher Save than the Bioware originals. 

Poisons, delivered as weapon coating or otherwise, may vary from Mild to Deadly. The Herbalism craft can be used to create poisons and refine venoms, just as well as healers kits. 

Avlis poisons & venoms include: Confusion Poison, Illithid Carnage, Medusa Poison, Psion's Bane, Sleep Poison, Slow Poison; Centipede Venom, Giant Bee Venom, Spider Venom

=== Substance addiction ===

Player characters who frequently turn to alcohol and drugs, may develop substance addiction. [[Addiction]] will clear over time if the PC halts the substance consumption -- but they will experience '''''withdrawal''''' symptoms. Withdrawal is expressed by various penalties to PC abilities. 

Addictive substances on Avlis include: Alcohol (any), Brownsmoke Seeds, Bloodfury Crystals, Deglosian Spirits, Fey Wine, Grainshots, Kao Kao Powder, Mind's Eye Elixir, Nanshaquist, Nemeril's Brew, Orcish Apple Cider, Wizard's Spice

ASK AWAY

2024-03-30T20:08:36Z

VoidHamlet: Andria is an intermediate deity btw.

= Welcome to Avlis! Ask away! =

[[File:ASKAWAY.png|200px|thumb|right|Clueless no more!]]

This is a copy of the In Game guide which can be perused in every Avlis server's start area. Talk to the namesake NPC to begin (or peruse the guide here).

= How do I meet other PCs? =

Common ways include:

== Looking for Party (LFP) chat ==

[[LFP|Looking for Party]] is the Out of Character (OOC) interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability, Dungeon Masters may send event reminders using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam.

== Open event announcements ==

On Avlis, both players and DMs can set up open events. Open events are tracked on:

=== Event calendar on the Avlis forums ===

On avlis.org, the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=445 Open Events] and the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character] forums allow to add an event to each post. 

If in doubt, refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Avlis Calendar]] for a hands-on example.

=== Event bot in the Discord Team chat ===

You can post events on the [[Avlis Chat|Avlis Discord Team chat]]. Apollo (bot) will automatically notify your attendees 15 minutes prior to an event. Your attendees can also add the event to their Google calendar. Visit Avlis Wiki, [[Event Bot]] for more information. 

'''Important:''' 

[1] Discord is NOT an In Character space. Make an IC event post on the Avlis forums BEFORE you use Apollo to promote it. 
[2] The Discord event bot does NOT interact with the Avlis forum event calendar. You can create an event in either or both locations.

== Join an Avlis guild or DM event group ==

Avlis guilds can be player-made (eg. [[Guild:Deglos_Brigade|Deglos Brigade]], [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maidens]]) or part of a broader NPC organization (e.g. [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Trust]], [[Guild:MChekArmy|M'Chekian Army]]). 

Avlis guilds often have private forums, IG [[Rules:Player Housing|guild housing]], and are eligible for DM sponsorship. The Avlis Wiki contains a [[:Category:Guilds|list of past & present guilds]]. Not sure how to join (or create!) a guild? Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] on avlis.org. 

DM event groups do not require guild membership. DMs may announce a casting call for regular sessions (eg. "Looking for lvl 8-10, evil oriented, Sunday Euro afternoon sessions"). Keep an eye on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=4 General Discussion] forum on avlis.org.

= How do I gain XP? =

== Minimum XP ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. If a PC did not use more than 1,000 XP of their last week's cap, they are automatically given 500 XP for that week as rollover XP (750 XP if level 21 and above). 

This "minimum" XP creates an automatic base for character advancement. It also gives some incentive for players who do not get the opportunity to log in very often. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== Dungeon crawls ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. When players adventure together in Parties, only half the XP earned will count toward their XP cap. Low level PCs have reduced cap. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== DM awarded XP ==

Dungeon Masters award Experience Points during DM events or everyday roleplay. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' Experience points awarded in this way are known as "XP cookies" or "DM cookies".

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== Crafting system XP gain ==

Challenging recipes from the [[Crafting System]] will add general XP in addition to crafting XP. (Crafting XP is only relevant to the PC's progress in the specific craft or tradeskill.) 

[[Artificing]] will incur a general XP loss, however. Certain recipes from a few other crafts may also have a general XP cost. By default, the crafting menu will alert you to those situations. 

'''Note:''' Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

= How do I gain GP? =

Gold Pieces (GP) are gained through:

== Dungeon and monster loot ==

Avlis loot drops include [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]] sellable items (rare), gold, and recyclable goods. Some dungeons have their own custom drops. Variations exist based on PC level. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Loot System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

== Recycling & Junk System ==

'''''Recycling depots''''' allow you to turn in crafted equipment (including ammunition) in exchange for Tokens. 

'''''Token stores''''' exchange Tokens for crafting components or a limited selection of items rewards. Even if your PC is not a crafter, crafting components are often in demand by P-Merchant NPCs. 

'''''Junk processors''''' are housed at recycling depots. They will accept some Aberration Parts, Vermin Pieces, Dried Oozes, Hides, and Broken Weapons you collect from adventuring. You can choose to get gold for them, or convert them to crafting components for a price. 

'''Important:''' Tokens can be converted to chits & traded between PCs! Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Restrictions: Recycling and DPLS ===

At this time, items acquired through the [[DPLS|Dynamic Placeable Loot System (DPLS)]] and other magical equipment can be turned in at one specific recycling depot only. Selling to [[Biomerchants]] remains a main method for disposal of non-crafted items.

== Sell to Biomerchant NPCs ==

Bioware merchant NPCs, also known as "Biomerchants", are found all over Avlis -- from city marketplaces to obscure locations. 

There are two main categories of Biomerchants on Avlis: 

[[Biomerchants#Generalist|Generalists]] - Will buy (almost) everything; 
[[Biomerchants#Specialists|Specialists]] - Will buy specific types of goods, similar to the ones they sell. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Biomerchants]] for a list of Biomerchants by type and location, restrictions, and more. 

== Sell to P-Merchant NPCs ==

PCs can trade loot, crafted goods, ingredients, etc. with other PCs. As this is not always possible in person, Avlis offers Persistent Merchant NPCs in shared marketplaces and player owned housing. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information.

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== NPC property theft ==

Loot in NPC houses (chests, etc.) can be found in Avlis cities and other locations. Be warned, burglars may be hunted by NPC guards if spotted. Opening containers in NPC housing may shift your PC's alignment toward Chaotic. Failing to pickpocket an NPC may turn it Hostile. Try your luck at your own risk.

== DM events ==

Dungeon Master events may be story oriented, or involve good old fashioned monster killing (or both!). Depending on the nature of the event, rewards may or may not include GP and items.

= What customizations exist? =

Avlis customizations include:

== Essential Tools ==

The following In Game tools are available:

=== Direct Interserver Chat ===

[[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Chat|Chat]] is much like the Looking for Party (LFP) system, but for private messages across servers. 

Use the Player List <code>/who</code> command to list player IDs and character names on all servers. 

Chat supports reply and history command, ignore and more. Type <code>/help chat</code> for details.

=== Looking for Party (LFP) Channel ===

[[LFP|Looking for Party (LFP)]] is the Out of Character interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability & Dungeon Masters may announce events using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam. 

=== Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) includes commands relevant to all Avlis [[:Category:Systems|Systems & Tools]], from saving your character, checking who's is online, emote actions and dice rolls, to class and system customizations, debugs, etc. etc. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] for a comprehensive list of options. Type <code>/help</code> In Game to review common topics. Type <code>/help check</code> for information on XP, tradeskills and more.

=== Emote Radial Menu ===

Right-click on your PC, select Special Abilities and then the anvil icon. This will toggle the [[Emote Radial|Emote Radial]] menu. 

Categories include: Emote actions, setting up temporary placeables (eg. tents), rolling dice, crafting skills report, configuration and special functions (eg. Summon Creature options or Unstick Location).

=== Persistent Map Pins ===

You can place map pins as usual. They will be saved on typing /save, on save through the [[Emote Radial]] menu, and on completing resting. You can check the number of [[Persistent Map Pins|persistent map pins]] saved at any time by typing <code>/check pins</code>.

=== Persistent Notes ===

There are two ways to create persistent notes In Game:

==== Note System ====

The Avlis Note System relies on paper, inks and tools for the creation of notes and letters (items) by PCs. 

Biomerchants selling [[Biomerchants#Books|books]] and/or [[Biomerchants#Artificing|Artificing supplies]] will often carry Note System supplies as well. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Note System]] for instructions.

==== Scribe NPCs ====

Popular [[Tavern Locations|inns]] and major thoroughfares In Game may feature an NPC Scribe standing by a message board. 

Click on the board to read the latest messages. Talk to the Scribe to post a message or to take a written copy (item) with you.

== Magic on Avlis ==

The Avlis Magic System introduces CUSTOM spells, as well as changes to ALL Bioware spells, as detailed on the Avlis Wiki. This aspect of the Magic System is known as the Spellhooking System (SHS). 

The Avlis Magic System includes SHS, Artificing (craft), Advanced Magic Specializations (AMS), Metamagic (item feat), Militant Bonuses, and more. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a complete overview.

=== Restrictions: Arcane magic ===

[[Andria]] (intermediate deity) controls access to [[Arcane]] magic (Mortal magic). 

[[:Category:AMS|Advanced Magic Specializations]] (see: PC class specific customizations) require membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] (membership is roleplay driven). 

To become a member of the Academy, approach a PC mage In Game or send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

=== Restrictions: Divine magic ===

On Avlis, each [[Religion|deity]] controls access to Divine magic. Casting Divine spells above level 3 requires that your PC converts to an Avlis god. A PC can also fall Out-Of-Favor with their deity, preventing them from casting ANY Divine spells. [[Ranger|Rangers]] are the only exception, as their powers are not controlled by a god.

== Crafting & tradeskills ==

The Neverwinter Nights crafts and tradeskills are NOT in use on Avlis, with the exception of the Craft Trap skill. 

Avlis crafts & tradeskills include:

=== Avlis Crafts ===

The Avlis Crafting System is integrated with the Recycling & Junk System. Each Avlis craft comes with its own tally of crafting XP. Crafts are often interrelated (eg. products of one craft may be used in another). [[Crafting_System#Tools|Crafting tools]] increase the odds of successfully crafting an item. 

Current Avlis crafts include: Alchemy, Armorcrafting, Artificing, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Gemcutting, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Mining, Tailoring 

Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Crafting System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Avlis Tradeskills ===

Current Avlis tradeskills include: [[Bartending]], [[Cooking]], [[Survivalism]], [[Trap System]]

Unlike most Avlis crafts, Avlis tradeskills do not require access to a dedicated crafting station (placeable). Instead, your crafting station can be placed in & removed on demand. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[:Category:Systems|Systems and Tools]] for more information.

== Persistent storage ==

Persistent storage is retained through server reset. Avlis offers the following options:

=== Inn Room Rentals ===

[[Tavern Locations|Visit an inn]]. Chat up the NPC innkeeper to book an inn room. In some locations, an NPC bartender is also an innkeeper. 

Rent is automatically collected on opening the inn room door. Those unable to pay are evicted (together with their stored items). 

'''Important:''' Do NOT abandon your inn room for more than 1 month. We cannot guarantee the safe return of your stored items past that point.

=== Premade Housing, Storage, Merchants ===

Some Avlis inns and other venues offer persistent storage and housing, which are not rent-based (you can buy it, then sell it back). 

Similarly, there are public marketplaces where you can set up & manage a persistent merchant. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information about this feature. 

Premade (also known as "Prefab") storage, housing and merchants are managed by the Avlis Team. Check the [https://www.avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=423 DM Assist forum] on avlis.org for pricing and availability.

=== Player & Guild Owned Housing ===

Persistent storage and merchants are also available through Avlis Player & Guild Housing. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Rules:Player Housing|Player Housing]] for a list of requirements, price sheets, submission process and more.

== PC race specific ==

Playable Avlis custom races: [[Human, Adomkuro|Adomkuro]] (Vasharan), [[Elf, Avariel|Avariel Elf]], [[Centaur]], [[Changeling]], [[Elf, Drangonari|Drangonari Elf]], [[Elf, Ghost|Ghost Elf]], [[Gnoll]], [[Goblin]], [[Half-Dryad]], [[Half-Nymph]], [[Half-Ogre]], [[Kobold]], [[Orc]], [[Shaahesk]] (Lizardman), [[Dwarf, Stone|Stone Dwarf]], [[Wemic]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Custom Races]] for details on each race. 

Be mindful of ECL (Effective Challenge Rating) greater than 1. At lower levels, losing a level results in re-rolling the ELC padding classes (Beast or Animal). This is as expected.

== PC class specific ==

=== All: Ammunition Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows you to select a bag (or a specific stack) of ammunition, so that it is used when the current stack runs out. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ammunition_Management|Ammunition Management]]) for instructions. Type <code>/help ammo</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Knowledge Skill Specializations ===

The Avlis implementation of Knowledge Skill Specializations follows that of D&D 3.5E (ranging from Arcana to Local knowledge).

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Knowledge Skill Specialization System]] for instructions. Type <code>/knowledge help</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Voice Throw (Familiars, Companions, Summons) ===

With [[Voice Throw]] you can make your PC's companion perform emotive actions and speak without having to possess it. 

'''''Format:''''' Prefix a line with a semicolon (;). So if you type <code>;*yawns*</code>, your PC's companion will emote *yawns*. 

'''''Prerequisite:''''' Auto-emotes must be enabled (type <code>/emote_toggle</code> to check).

=== All Spellcasters: Artificing (Scroll, Wand, Magic Items) ===

Artificing is the art of creating magic items. 

Requirements: No Metamagic feats are required to make magic items. To be an Artificer, a PC must have at least 7 caster levels (more for some classes). Every time an Artificer succeeds at making an item, they lose general XP and gain Artificing (craft) XP. 

Types of Artificing: Scribe Scroll, Craft Wand and permanent enchantment of crafted items such as weapons, armor, helms, shields, & some accessories. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Metamagic Item Feats ===

[[Biomerchants#Artificing|Specialized Biomerchants]] sell (and recharge) [[Magic:Metamagic|Metamagic]] Rods. Metamagic Rods allow you to add any Bioware Metamagic feat (Empower, Extend, Maximize), as well as Energy Substitution and Augment Summon, prior to casting a spell. 

Metamagic Rods allow you to use multiple Metamagic feats at a time. E.g. you can use a Metamagic Rod, Cold before casting Extended Flame Weapon (spell) onto a scroll. If the Artificing attempt succeeds, it will result in a Cold-substituted Extended Flame Weapon scroll. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Spellbook Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows to store, load, delete or lists PC spellbooks. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Spellbooks|Spellbooks]]) for instructions. Type <code>/spellbook</code> to begin.

=== All Spellcasters: Summon Creature Options ===

Use the [[Emote Radial]] menu to select a [[Magic:Summon_Control|Summon Creature type]], prior to casting the Summon Creature spell of your chosen level.

=== Arcane Class(es): Vortex Ranks ===

[[Mortal Magic|Vortex Ranks]] may be granted to PCs who play a notable role in the world of mortal magic. A caster with Vortex Rank 1 will receive +2 to their caster levels, +2 to spell DCs, +25% to applicable spell caps. A caster with Vortex Rank 2 will receive double these numbers. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Barbarian: Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) ===

Barbarian Rage on Avlis is subject to many changes from the Neverwinter Nights standard feats. In addition, there are Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) which rely on item activation and learning curve. 

Current BRS include: Bloodthirster, Demonkin, Flame Dancer, Stonewall, Waverider, Whirling Frenzy, Windwalker 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Barbarian Rage]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Rage Shouts ====

Using Barbarian Rage (feat) will invoke a battle call. You can store and manage custom Rage shouts to use when your PC enters Rage. 

BRS is not required to use this feature. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Barbarian_Rage_Specializations|Barbarian Rage]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/help brs</code> for In Game help.

=== Bard: Avlis Bardic Music ===

Avlis Bardic Music provides Bards with a variety of songs in addition to Bard Song and Curse Song (class feats). Songs are unlocked through Legendary Songbooks. Each use of a Legendary Songbook counts as a single use of the Bard Song class feat. 

Current Bardic Music includes: Cacophony, Countersong, Fascinate, Haven Song, Ironskin Chant, Legionnaire's March, Longstride, Song of Freedom, Song of Valor 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Bardic Music]] for more information.

=== Cleric: Clerical Holy Symbol ===

Clerics of Avlissian [[Deific Chart|Gods]] have equippable holy symbols available. To obtain one, convert to an Avlis deity In Game. To use it, equip the generic symbol you are given and use the unique power on it. It will transform into a symbol of your character's deity. 

When the symbol is equipped in the off-hand slot, your PC will have two special powers available. Each use of a power costs one prepared spell slot and one turn undead use. The level of the spell used depends upon the rank of the deity. 

'''Important:''' Clerical Holy Symbols require that the PC alignment matches the deity alignment. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Cleric]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Spoken Prayers ====

As using a Clerical Holy Symbol would invoke a spoken prayer, you may want to set your own catchphrase. You can store and manage multiple custom prayer texts. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Clerical_Holy_Symbols|Clerical Holy Symbols]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/ahs</code> to begin.

=== Divine Class(es): Favored Status ===

A Divine magic wielder may become a pillar of faith and gain Favored Status. Favored Status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 caster levels, +4 to spell DCs and +50% to applicable spell caps. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Druid/Ranger: Companion Training System (CTS) ===

The Avlis Companion Training System (CTS) significantly expands on the ability of [[Ranger|Rangers]] and [[Druid|Druids]] to make allies of animals, beasts and magical beasts. 

The system goes beyond animal empathy, and spell domination. [[Avenger|Avengers]] of [[Dru'El]] and Shifters are also eligible for CTS. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[CTS]] for more information. Type <code>/cts help</code> for In Game help but keep in mind that CTS is taught In Character.

=== Militant Class: Militant Level Bonuses ===

Militant Level Bonuses are enhanced effects that certain spells have on militant characters. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a [[Magic_System#Militant_Level_Bonuses|breakdown of bonuses per Militant Level]]. 

Adding up ALL class levels from the following classes will give you your Militant Level: 

1. [[Classes|Base Class]] ([[Barbarian]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Ranger]]) 
2. [[Prestige Classes|Prestige Class]] ([[Dwarven Defender]], [[Weapon Master]]) 
3. [[Custom Races|Custom Race]] Class (Beast, Monstrous, Humanoid) 
4. Any Avlis [[Holy Warriors|Holy Warrior]] Class ([[Annihilator]], [[Avenger]], [[Blackguard]], [[Champion]], [[Confounder]], [[Dominator]], [[Equalizer]], [[Justicar]], [[Paladin]]) 

=== Monk: Monk Signature Moves ===

This system allows PCs with [[Monk]] levels to train and gain access to additional abilities known as "signature moves". The abilities are divided into separate schools. 

Current schools include: Closed Palm, Meta Ki Manipulation, Mountain & Sea, Open Fist 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Monk Signature Moves]] for a breakdown of schools and abilities. Type <code>/sigmov</code> for a list of options.

=== Psion: Psionics on Avlis ===

Psionics on Avlis expands on 2nd edition AD&D concepts. Psions may commit to one or more disciplines, as they choose. 

Current Psionic disciplines include: [[Clairsentience]], [[Metapsionics]], [[Psychokinesis]], [[Psychometabolism]], [[Psychoportation]], [[Telepathy]] 

Current Psionic specializations include: [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Augmentations|Psionic Augmentations]] (various), [[Psionic_Specializations#Psychic_Expertise_Feats|Psychic Expertise]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Psionic_Focus_Feats|Psionic Focus]] feats, [[Psionic_Specializations#Expansive_Mind_Feats|Expansive Mind]] feats 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Psion]] for prerequisites and Avlis Wiki, [[Psionics]] for a comprehensive guide. Type <code>/psi help</code> for In Game help.

==== Favored Psion ====

Psions devoted to [[Angadar]] (lesser god) may eventually attain Favored Status. Favored status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 effective psion levels and a 50% chance that a backfire is transformed into a bonus. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Ranger: Avlis Bonus vs. Favored Enemies ===

Rangers on Avlis can dip ammunition & thrown weapons in certain substances to grant them a temporary bonus against a Favored Enemy. This is performed via the <code>/rangerdip</code> chat command. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]] and Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ranger_Weapon_Dipping|Ranger Weapon Dipping]]) for more information.

=== Ranger, Shadowdancer, Assassin: Hide in Plain Sight ===

On Avlis, all of these classes incorporate the Hide in Plain Sight feat. For Ranger, the ability is available in natural areas only.

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Ranger]], [[Shadowdancer|Shadowdancer]] and [[Assassin]] for more information.

=== Rogue: Avlis Pickpocket Modes ===

On Avlis, a [[Rogue]] may choose to pick someone's pocket -- or to plant items in someone's pocket! Type <code>/pp_toggle</code> to switch between modes.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Advanced Magic Specialization (AMS) ===

Membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] is a requirement for Advanced Magi Specialization (AMS), with the exception of Psi-Mage of Angadar. PCs with a high rank in an AMS may be able to train your PC. Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] group on avlis.org. 

Current AMS include: [[Arcane Adept]], [[Elementalist]], [[Fatespinner]], [[Psi-Mage]], [[Shadow Matter Illusionist]], [[Transmutant]], [[White Necromancer]], [[Wild Mage]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[AMS]] for more information. 

'''''Note:''''' Currently, a PC can only have one AMS. In this context, the Pale Master Prestige Class is considered AMS.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Familiar Appearance Options ===

An experienced mage may be able to change their familiar's appearance, depending on class level and the familiar base type. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Summon Familiar]] for a handy chart. Familiar appearance options appear in the [[Emote Radial]] menu.

=== Special: Lycanthropy ===

Lycanthropy can be contracted In Game. Afflicted Lycanthropes who elect not to be cured and convert to [[Xenon]] (demigod) become Converted Lycanthropes. Upon conversion, they become able to fully control their change. 

'''Important:''' 
[1] In terms of game mechanics, any Player Character of any alignment may become an Afflicted Lycanthrope. On conversion, the PC will become Evil. The Converted Lycanthrope PC must remain Evil to retain Xenon's gift. 
[2] Evil weretiger converts will find favor with [[Stephanus]] (demigod), as well. 
[3] Lycanthrope PCs CANNOT manifest [[Psionics|Psionic]] powers. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Lycanthropy]] for more information. If your PC is a Converted Lycanthrope, type <code>/lform</code> and <code>/lycan</code> for options.

=== Special: Mount & Ride ===

At this time, only a [[Paladin]] (class) may summon and mount a horse (magical beast). While most other characters can ride a horse (animal), you may not find horses wandering around In Game -- except in DM events. This may change in the future. 

'''Restrictions:''' 
[1] Your PC cannot Polymorph while mounted. 
[2] Your PC cannot enter interior areas or server transitions while mounted. 
[3] [[Custom Races|Custom Avlis races]] cannot ride (unless they have the Paladin class and their appearance is [[Human]] or [[Half-Elf]]). This is an OOC limitation.

=== Training: Holy Warriors ===

If your PC is a convert of one of the Great Nine gods of Avlis, they may choose to follow the path of a Holy Warrior. With the exception of Paladin and Blackguard, access to Holy Warrior classes requires DM unlock. 

Holy Warrior status is dependent on roleplay. Your PC may need to join a Holy Order (Avlis guild). For alternatives, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Avlis Holy Warrior classes include: [[Annihilator]] of [[Aarilax]], [[Avenger]] of [[Dru'El]], [[Blackguard]] of [[Maleki]], [[Champion]] of [[O'Ma]], [[Confounder]] of [[Forian]], [[Dominator]] of [[Valok]], [[Equalizer]] of [[Mikon]], [[Justicar]] of [[Toran]], [[Paladin]] of [[Gorethar]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Holy Warriors]] for more information.

=== Training: Prestige Classes ===

A Prestige Class (PrC) on Avlis is only available if your character meets the mechanic requirements AND roleplay to unlock the class. A character may only have one PrC. 

A few PrCs may be unlocked through an In Game scripted quest. In all other cases, a Player Character with a high rank in a PrC can train others. Once your training is complete, or if unable to find a mentor, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Prestige classes allowed on Avlis are: [[Arcane Archer]], [[Assassin]], [[Avlis Dragon Disciple]], [[Dwarven Defender]], [[Pale Master]], [[Shadowdancer]], [[Shifter]], [[Weapon Master]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Prestige Classes]] for prerequisites. See also: [[Holy Warriors]]

== PC equipment ==

You can change your equipment's appearance or add special properties through several Avlis systems. Ask around In Game or on the IC forums.

=== Holy Robe & Symbol ===

Your PC can seek conversion to a deity by approaching NPCs in temples, or street clergy. (Some faiths have no permanent In Game representation. Contact [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM] or [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] to convert.) 

On successful conversion, your PC will receive a set of plot items; a [[Holy Symbols and Robes|Holy Robe and a Holy Symbol]]. Each of these items has Unique Property which allows to target other (non-plot) items and merge their property to the Holy Robe or Symbol -- for a price. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Religion]] for a listing of Avlis deities. Many deities will only allow followers of a specific alignment, while others may impose restrictions on race, gender, or no restrictions at all.

=== Alteration Machines ===

Alteration machines allow you to change the appearance of your gear. Alterations come at a GP cost, although experienced crafters may be able to lower their expenses. 

'''''Note:''''' Not all alteration machines accept all types of gear (eg. some may only accept Armor & Clothing). Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Alteration Machines]] for more information.

=== Armor & Clothing Dyes ===

Some Biomerchant NPCs [[Biomerchants#Dyes|sell dyes]] which you can apply to armor or clothing on the go. For a complete chart of dye names and colors, refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Dynamic Dye Color Chart]].

=== Artificed Equipment ===

Certain items manufactured by experienced crafters allow for a skilled Artificer to add permanent bonus properties. This is typically a costly undertaking, both for the Crafter PC and the Artificer PC involved. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] for more information. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' You have a 1:10,000 chance to get an artificeable item from the Avlis [[Loot System]]! When collecting loot, watch out for any item name in color (i.e. non-white).

=== Augment Crystals ===

Token stores, part of the Avlis Recycling System, offer Minor to Superior Augment Crystals (items) in their reward options. 

Augment crystals will ONLY work on an item with an existing enchantment; melee weapons (offensive), armor and shields (defensive). Higher quality crystals require the item to have a stronger enchantment. 

Current augment crystal varies include: Defensive: Crystal of Arrow Deflection, Elemental Defense, Featherweight, Iron Ward; Offensive: Demolition Crystal, Elemental Assault, Phoenix Ash, Truedeath Crystal 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Augment Crystals]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Blunderbuss ===

Blunderbuss (item) may refer to one of several types of Gnomish ammunition launchers. This is a collection of items which improve on the use of ammunition and thrown weapons in their own creative way. Get yours from a [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]]. Beware of backfire.

=== Tyeduan Banes ===

[[Tyeduan Banes]] (items) allow characters of all Classes to enjoy a temporary version of Favored Enemy (the [[Ranger]] feat). Banes work on melee weapons, thrown weapons, ammunition and gloves. You can find Banes vs. all Avlis base race types with different [[Biomerchants]].

== PC appearance ==

For changes to PC equipment appearance, see: PC equipment

=== Character description change ===

You can change your character description at any time. Type <code>/help description</code> to use chat based input. Type <code>/setdescription</code> to use pop-up window based input.

=== Character portrait change ===

You can change your [[Custom_Portrait#Changing_Your_Portrait|character portrait]] at any time. Type <code>/pickportrait</code> to open the In Game menu.

=== Hair color change ===

Currently, there is one location on Avlis which offers hair color change -- for a price. Ask around In Game or on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character forums].

== Penalty systems ==

Avlis penalty systems include:

=== Death & dying ===

(Adapted from Avlis Wiki, [[Death and Dying]])

While PC death on Avlis is not permanent, it is meant to be a hindrance. The character's soul travels to [[Dagath]]'s Hall on the Outlands of Concordant Opposition; the so-called '''''death plane'''''. Once there, they will begin a '''''death quest''''' to exit the death plane. 

'''Important:''' IC-ly, PCs may not retain any memories from their death plane visit. 

In terms of game mechanics, when a PC drops below -10 hit points, they are transported to the death plane. They lose ALL non-Plot items in their inventory, as well as 50 XP per level (if above level 2). 

A '''''player corpse placeable''''' is created at the location of their death. It contains the PC's entire inventory (except Plot items and Gold Pieces; those follow the PC to the death plane). 

When the PC completes the death quest & exits the death plane, they are transported to a major temple & recover the lost XP. To retrieve their items, the PC must return to their player corpse; the so-called '''''death run'''''. 

Other ways to '''''exit the death plane''''': 

1. A PC (or an NPC) in the lands of the living may attempt a [[Magic:Resurrection|Resurrection]] spell. This will transport the PC to their player corpse & return the lost XP. 
2. A [[Magic:Raise Dead|Raise Dead]] spell will do the same but lost XP will NOT be returned -- unless the dead PC has already completed their quest. 

Locate your PC's player corpse placeable and click on it. Your items should automatically transfer to your inventory, one by one. It is important to make certain all items have been recovered from the corpse, and that the corpse disappears (sometimes this requires clicking on a empty corpse a second time to make it disappear). If the corpse is left there, and the character dies a second time before a server reset, it is possible that the belongings may be put on the old corpse. 

Last but not least, you will find a '''''player corpse item''''' within the namesake placeable's inventory. It will disappear once your items are transferred. 

If another character picks up this item beforehand, it can be used in two ways: 

1. Carry the fallen: A rare few NPC clerics in major cities will recognize that a PC has another PC's corpse in their inventory, and offer Resurrection on site. 
2. Profane the fallen: Zombie powder is a product of the Herbalism craft. It can create a zombie out of any IG item with "corpse" in its name -- including a player corpse. 

This will not prevent the departed from returning to life but they might be in for a shock!

=== Poison & disease ===

[[Disease|Diseases]] on Avlis require a +50% higher Save than the Bioware originals. 

Poisons, delivered as weapon coating or otherwise, may vary from Mild to Deadly. The Herbalism craft can be used to create poisons and refine venoms, just as well as healers kits. 

Avlis poisons & venoms include: Confusion Poison, Illithid Carnage, Medusa Poison, Psion's Bane, Sleep Poison, Slow Poison; Centipede Venom, Giant Bee Venom, Spider Venom

=== Substance addiction ===

Player characters who frequently turn to alcohol and drugs, may develop substance addiction. [[Addiction]] will clear over time if the PC halts the substance consumption -- but they will experience '''''withdrawal''''' symptoms. Withdrawal is expressed by various penalties to PC abilities. 

Addictive substances on Avlis include: Alcohol (any), Brownsmoke Seeds, Bloodfury Crystals, Deglosian Spirits, Fey Wine, Grainshots, Kao Kao Powder, Mind's Eye Elixir, Nanshaquist, Nemeril's Brew, Orcish Apple Cider, Wizard's Spice

= Where do I report an issue? =

ASK AWAY

2024-03-30T19:50:46Z

VoidHamlet: #3917 updates

= Welcome to Avlis! Ask away! =

[[File:ASKAWAY.png|200px|thumb|right|Clueless no more!]]

This is a copy of the In Game guide which can be perused in every Avlis server's start area. Talk to the namesake NPC to begin (or peruse the guide here).

= How do I meet other PCs? =

Common ways include:

== Looking for Party (LFP) chat ==

[[LFP|Looking for Party]] is the Out of Character (OOC) interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability, Dungeon Masters may send event reminders using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam.

== Open event announcements ==

On Avlis, both players and DMs can set up open events. Open events are tracked on:

=== Event calendar on the Avlis forums ===

On avlis.org, the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=445 Open Events] and the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character] forums allow to add an event to each post. 

If in doubt, refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Avlis Calendar]] for a hands-on example.

=== Event bot in the Discord Team chat ===

You can post events on the [[Avlis Chat|Avlis Discord Team chat]]. Apollo (bot) will automatically notify your attendees 15 minutes prior to an event. Your attendees can also add the event to their Google calendar. Visit Avlis Wiki, [[Event Bot]] for more information. 

'''Important:''' 

[1] Discord is NOT an In Character space. Make an IC event post on the Avlis forums BEFORE you use Apollo to promote it. 
[2] The Discord event bot does NOT interact with the Avlis forum event calendar. You can create an event in either or both locations.

== Join an Avlis guild or DM event group ==

Avlis guilds can be player-made (eg. [[Guild:Deglos_Brigade|Deglos Brigade]], [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maidens]]) or part of a broader NPC organization (e.g. [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Trust]], [[Guild:MChekArmy|M'Chekian Army]]). 

Avlis guilds often have private forums, IG [[Rules:Player Housing|guild housing]], and are eligible for DM sponsorship. The Avlis Wiki contains a [[:Category:Guilds|list of past & present guilds]]. Not sure how to join (or create!) a guild? Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] on avlis.org. 

DM event groups do not require guild membership. DMs may announce a casting call for regular sessions (eg. "Looking for lvl 8-10, evil oriented, Sunday Euro afternoon sessions"). Keep an eye on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=4 General Discussion] forum on avlis.org.

= How do I gain XP? =

== Minimum XP ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. If a PC did not use more than 1,000 XP of their last week's cap, they are automatically given 500 XP for that week as rollover XP (750 XP if level 21 and above). 

This "minimum" XP creates an automatic base for character advancement. It also gives some incentive for players who do not get the opportunity to log in very often. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== Dungeon crawls ==

Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. When players adventure together in Parties, only half the XP earned will count toward their XP cap. Low level PCs have reduced cap. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

== DM awarded XP ==

Dungeon Masters award Experience Points during DM events or everyday roleplay. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' Experience points awarded in this way are known as "XP cookies" or "DM cookies".

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== Crafting system XP gain ==

Challenging recipes from the [[Crafting System]] will add general XP in addition to crafting XP. (Crafting XP is only relevant to the PC's progress in the specific craft or tradeskill.) 

[[Artificing]] will incur a general XP loss, however. Certain recipes from a few other crafts may also have a general XP cost. By default, the crafting menu will alert you to those situations. 

'''Note:''' Avlis enforces a level-based cap for weekly XP gain from monster killing or crafting. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Experience System]] for more information.

= How do I gain GP? =

Gold Pieces (GP) are gained through:

== Dungeon and monster loot ==

Avlis loot drops include [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]] sellable items (rare), gold, and recyclable goods. Some dungeons have their own custom drops. Variations exist based on PC level. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Loot System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

== Recycling & Junk System ==

'''''Recycling depots''''' allow you to turn in crafted equipment (including ammunition) in exchange for Tokens. 

'''''Token stores''''' exchange Tokens for crafting components or a limited selection of items rewards. Even if your PC is not a crafter, crafting components are often in demand by P-Merchant NPCs. 

'''''Junk processors''''' are housed at recycling depots. They will accept some Aberration Parts, Vermin Pieces, Dried Oozes, Hides, and Broken Weapons you collect from adventuring. You can choose to get gold for them, or convert them to crafting components for a price. 

'''Important:''' Tokens can be converted to chits & traded between PCs! Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Restrictions: Recycling and DPLS ===

At this time, items acquired through the [[DPLS|Dynamic Placeable Loot System (DPLS)]] and other magical equipment can be turned in at one specific recycling depot only. Selling to [[Biomerchants]] remains a main method for disposal of non-crafted items.

== Sell to Biomerchant NPCs ==

Bioware merchant NPCs, also known as "Biomerchants", are found all over Avlis -- from city marketplaces to obscure locations. 

There are two main categories of Biomerchants on Avlis: 

[[Biomerchants#Generalist|Generalists]] - Will buy (almost) everything; 
[[Biomerchants#Specialists|Specialists]] - Will buy specific types of goods, similar to the ones they sell. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Biomerchants]] for a list of Biomerchants by type and location, restrictions, and more. 

== Sell to P-Merchant NPCs ==

PCs can trade loot, crafted goods, ingredients, etc. with other PCs. As this is not always possible in person, Avlis offers Persistent Merchant NPCs in shared marketplaces and player owned housing. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information.

== Collector & delivery quests ==

Collector quests exist on many Avlis servers. An NPC may be looking for crafting components, or collect equipment. Collector quests are often (but not always) tailored to PC level. Collector quests are subject to a weekly cap. 

Delivery quests are also known as "Fedex quests". All Avlis servers have a version of these, based in the main city of each server. Chat up named NPCs to find out if they need a delivery made. 

Both types of quests may yield XP as well as GP.

== NPC property theft ==

Loot in NPC houses (chests, etc.) can be found in Avlis cities and other locations. Be warned, burglars may be hunted by NPC guards if spotted. Opening containers in NPC housing may shift your PC's alignment toward Chaotic. Failing to pickpocket an NPC may turn it Hostile. Try your luck at your own risk.

== DM events ==

Dungeon Master events may be story oriented, or involve good old fashioned monster killing (or both!). Depending on the nature of the event, rewards may or may not include GP and items.

= What customizations exist? =

Avlis customizations include:

== Essential Tools ==

The following In Game tools are available:

=== Direct Interserver Chat ===

[[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Chat|Chat]] is much like the Looking for Party (LFP) system, but for private messages across servers. 

Use the Player List <code>/who</code> command to list player IDs and character names on all servers. 

Chat supports reply and history command, ignore and more. Type <code>/help chat</code> for details.

=== Looking for Party (LFP) Channel ===

[[LFP|Looking for Party (LFP)]] is the Out of Character interserver chat channel. Players may share their availability & Dungeon Masters may announce events using LFP. 

Type <code>/lfp</code> help to begin. Please do not spam. 

=== Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) includes commands relevant to all Avlis [[:Category:Systems|Systems & Tools]], from saving your character, checking who's is online, emote actions and dice rolls, to class and system customizations, debugs, etc. etc. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] for a comprehensive list of options. Type <code>/help</code> In Game to review common topics. Type <code>/help check</code> for information on XP, tradeskills and more.

=== Emote Radial Menu ===

Right-click on your PC, select Special Abilities and then the anvil icon. This will toggle the [[Emote Radial|Emote Radial]] menu. 

Categories include: Emote actions, setting up temporary placeables (eg. tents), rolling dice, crafting skills report, configuration and special functions (eg. Summon Creature options or Unstick Location).

=== Persistent Map Pins ===

You can place map pins as usual. They will be saved on typing /save, on save through the [[Emote Radial]] menu, and on completing resting. You can check the number of [[Persistent Map Pins|persistent map pins]] saved at any time by typing <code>/check pins</code>.

=== Persistent Notes ===

There are two ways to create persistent notes In Game:

==== Note System ====

The Avlis Note System relies on paper, inks and tools for the creation of notes and letters (items) by PCs. 

Biomerchants selling [[Biomerchants#Books|books]] and/or [[Biomerchants#Artificing|Artificing supplies]] will often carry Note System supplies as well. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Note System]] for instructions.

==== Scribe NPCs ====

Popular [[Tavern Locations|inns]] and major thoroughfares In Game may feature an NPC Scribe standing by a message board. 

Click on the board to read the latest messages. Talk to the Scribe to post a message or to take a written copy (item) with you.

== Magic on Avlis ==

The Avlis Magic System introduces CUSTOM spells, as well as changes to ALL Bioware spells, as detailed on the Avlis Wiki. This aspect of the Magic System is known as the Spellhooking System (SHS). 

The Avlis Magic System includes SHS, Artificing (craft), Advanced Magic Specializations (AMS), Metamagic (item feat), Militant Bonuses, and more. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a complete overview.

=== Restrictions: Arcane magic ===

[[Andria]] (lesser god) controls access to [[Arcane]] magic. 

[[:Category:AMS|Advanced Magic Specializations]] (see: PC class specific customizations) require membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] (membership is roleplay driven). 

To become a member of the Academy, approach a PC mage In Game or send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

=== Restrictions: Divine magic ===

On Avlis, each [[Religion|deity]] controls access to Divine magic. Casting Divine spells above level 3 requires that your PC converts to an Avlis god. A PC can also fall Out-Of-Favor with their deity, preventing them from casting ANY Divine spells. [[Ranger|Rangers]] are the only exception, as their powers are not controlled by a god.

== Crafting & tradeskills ==

The Neverwinter Nights crafts and tradeskills are NOT in use on Avlis, with the exception of the Craft Trap skill. 

Avlis crafts & tradeskills include:

=== Avlis Crafts ===

The Avlis Crafting System is integrated with the Recycling & Junk System. Each Avlis craft comes with its own tally of crafting XP. Crafts are often interrelated (eg. products of one craft may be used in another). [[Crafting_System#Tools|Crafting tools]] increase the odds of successfully crafting an item. 

Current Avlis crafts include: Alchemy, Armorcrafting, Artificing, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Gemcutting, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Mining, Tailoring 

Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Crafting System]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Avlis Tradeskills ===

Current Avlis tradeskills include: [[Bartending]], [[Cooking]], [[Survivalism]], [[Trap System]]

Unlike most Avlis crafts, Avlis tradeskills do not require access to a dedicated crafting station (placeable). Instead, your crafting station can be placed in & removed on demand. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[:Category:Systems|Systems and Tools]] for more information.

== Persistent storage ==

Persistent storage is retained through server reset. Avlis offers the following options:

=== Inn Room Rentals ===

[[Tavern Locations|Visit an inn]]. Chat up the NPC innkeeper to book an inn room. In some locations, an NPC bartender is also an innkeeper. 

Rent is automatically collected on opening the inn room door. Those unable to pay are evicted (together with their stored items). 

'''Important:''' Do NOT abandon your inn room for more than 1 month. We cannot guarantee the safe return of your stored items past that point.

=== Premade Housing, Storage, Merchants ===

Some Avlis inns and other venues offer persistent storage and housing, which are not rent-based (you can buy it, then sell it back). 

Similarly, there are public marketplaces where you can set up & manage a persistent merchant. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Persistent Merchants]] for more information about this feature. 

Premade (also known as "Prefab") storage, housing and merchants are managed by the Avlis Team. Check the [https://www.avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=423 DM Assist forum] on avlis.org for pricing and availability.

=== Player & Guild Owned Housing ===

Persistent storage and merchants are also available through Avlis Player & Guild Housing. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Rules:Player Housing|Player Housing]] for a list of requirements, price sheets, submission process and more.

== PC race specific ==

Playable Avlis custom races: [[Human, Adomkuro|Adomkuro]] (Vasharan), [[Elf, Avariel|Avariel Elf]], [[Centaur]], [[Changeling]], [[Elf, Drangonari|Drangonari Elf]], [[Elf, Ghost|Ghost Elf]], [[Gnoll]], [[Goblin]], [[Half-Dryad]], [[Half-Nymph]], [[Half-Ogre]], [[Kobold]], [[Orc]], [[Shaahesk]] (Lizardman), [[Dwarf, Stone|Stone Dwarf]], [[Wemic]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Custom Races]] for details on each race. 

Be mindful of ECL (Effective Challenge Rating) greater than 1. At lower levels, losing a level results in re-rolling the ELC padding classes (Beast or Animal). This is as expected.

== PC class specific ==

=== All: Ammunition Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows you to select a bag (or a specific stack) of ammunition, so that it is used when the current stack runs out. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Ammunition_Management|Ammunition Management]]) for instructions. Type <code>/help ammo</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Knowledge Skill Specializations ===

The Avlis implementation of Knowledge Skill Specializations follows that of D&D 3.5E (ranging from Arcana to Local knowledge).

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Knowledge Skill Specialization System]] for instructions. Type <code>/knowledge help</code> for In Game help.

=== All: Voice Throw (Familiars, Companions, Summons) ===

With [[Voice Throw]] you can make your PC's companion perform emotive actions and speak without having to possess it. 

'''''Format:''''' Prefix a line with a semicolon (;). So if you type <code>;*yawns*</code>, your PC's companion will emote *yawns*. 

'''''Prerequisite:''''' Auto-emotes must be enabled (type <code>/emote_toggle</code> to check).

=== All Spellcasters: Artificing (Scroll, Wand, Magic Items) ===

Artificing is the art of creating magic items. 

Requirements: No Metamagic feats are required to make magic items. To be an Artificer, a PC must have at least 7 caster levels (more for some classes). Every time an Artificer succeeds at making an item, they lose general XP and gain Artificing (craft) XP. 

Types of Artificing: Scribe Scroll, Craft Wand and permanent enchantment of crafted items such as weapons, armor, helms, shields, & some accessories. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Metamagic Item Feats ===

[[Biomerchants#Artificing|Specialized Biomerchants]] sell (and recharge) [[Magic:Metamagic|Metamagic]] Rods. Metamagic Rods allow you to add any Bioware Metamagic feat (Empower, Extend, Maximize), as well as Energy Substitution and Augment Summon, prior to casting a spell. 

Metamagic Rods allow you to use multiple Metamagic feats at a time. E.g. you can use a Metamagic Rod, Cold before casting Extended Flame Weapon (spell) onto a scroll. If the Artificing attempt succeeds, it will result in a Cold-substituted Extended Flame Weapon scroll. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for more information.

=== All Spellcasters: Spellbook Management System ===

The Avlis Command Prompt (ACP) allows to store, load, delete or lists PC spellbooks. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Spellbooks|Spellbooks]]) for instructions. Type <code>/spellbook</code> to begin.

=== All Spellcasters: Summon Creature Options ===

Use the [[Emote Radial]] menu to select a [[Magic:Summon_Control|Summon Creature type]], prior to casting the Summon Creature spell of your chosen level.

=== Arcane Class(es): Vortex Ranks ===

[[Mortal Magic|Vortex Ranks]] may be granted to PCs who play a notable role in the world of mortal magic. A caster with Vortex Rank 1 will receive +2 to their caster levels, +2 to spell DCs, +25% to applicable spell caps. A caster with Vortex Rank 2 will receive double these numbers. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Barbarian: Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) ===

Barbarian Rage on Avlis is subject to many changes from the Neverwinter Nights standard feats. In addition, there are Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS) which rely on item activation and learning curve. 

Current BRS include: Bloodthirster, Demonkin, Flame Dancer, Stonewall, Waverider, Whirling Frenzy, Windwalker 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Barbarian Rage]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Rage Shouts ====

Using Barbarian Rage (feat) will invoke a battle call. You can store and manage custom Rage shouts to use when your PC enters Rage. 

BRS is not required to use this feature. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Barbarian_Rage_Specializations|Barbarian Rage]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/help brs</code> for In Game help.

=== Bard: Avlis Bardic Music ===

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Bardic Music]] for more information.

=== Cleric: Clerical Holy Symbol ===

Clerics of Avlissian [[Deific Chart|Gods]] have equippable holy symbols available. To obtain one, convert to an Avlis deity In Game. To use it, equip the generic symbol you are given and use the unique power on it. It will transform into a symbol of your character's deity. 

When the symbol is equipped in the off-hand slot, your PC will have two special powers available. Each use of a power costs one prepared spell slot and one turn undead use. The level of the spell used depends upon the rank of the deity. 

'''Important:''' Clerical Holy Symbols require that the PC alignment matches the deity alignment. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Cleric]] for more information.

==== Extra: Custom Spoken Prayers ====

As using a Clerical Holy Symbol would invoke a spoken prayer, you may want to set your own catchphrase. You can store and manage multiple custom prayer texts. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[ACP]] (section [[Avlis_Command_Prompt#Clerical_Holy_Symbols|Clerical Holy Symbols]]) for a how-to. Type <code>/ahs</code> to begin.

=== Divine Class(es): Favored Status ===

A Divine magic wielder may become a pillar of faith and gain Favored Status. Favored Status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 caster levels, +4 to spell DCs and +50% to applicable spell caps. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Druid/Ranger: Companion Training System (CTS) ===

The Avlis Companion Training System (CTS) significantly expands on the ability of [[Ranger|Rangers]] and [[Druid|Druids]] to make allies of animals, beasts and magical beasts. 

The system goes beyond animal empathy, and spell domination. [[Avenger|Avengers]] of [[Dru'El]] and Shifters are also eligible for CTS. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[CTS]] for more information. Type <code>/cts help</code> for In Game help but keep in mind that CTS is taught In Character.

=== Militant Class: Militant Level Bonuses ===

Militant Level Bonuses are enhanced effects that certain spells have on militant characters. Refer to the Avlis Wiki, [[Magic System]] for a [[Magic_System#Militant_Level_Bonuses|breakdown of bonuses per Militant Level]]. 

Adding up ALL class levels from the following classes will give you your Militant Level: 

1. [[Classes|Base Class]] ([[Barbarian]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Ranger]]) 
2. [[Prestige Classes|Prestige Class]] ([[Dwarven Defender]], [[Weapon Master]]) 
3. [[Custom Races|Custom Race]] Class (Beast, Monstrous, Humanoid)

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Psion]] for prerequisites and Avlis Wiki, [[Psionics]] for a comprehensive guide. Type <code>/psi help</code> for In Game help.

==== Favored Psion ====

Psions devoted to [[Angadar]] (lesser god) may eventually attain Favored Status. Favored status bestows bonuses in the form of +4 effective psion levels and a 50% chance that a backfire is transformed into a bonus. 

'''''Note:''''' This is a DM reward for exceptional roleplay, not something you can gain from completing a quest In Game.

=== Ranger: Avlis Bonus vs. Favored Enemies ===

Rangers on Avlis can dip ammunition & thrown weapons in certain substances to grant them a temporary bonus against a Favored Enemy. This is performed via the <code>/rangerdip</code> chat command.

=== Sorcerer/Wizard: Advanced Magic Specialization (AMS) ===

Membership in the [[Mortal Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]] is a requirement for Advanced Magi Specialization (AMS), with the exception of Psi-Mage of Angadar. PCs with a high rank in an AMS may be able to train your PC. Send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] group on avlis.org.

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[AMS]] for more information. 

'''''Note:''''' Currently, a PC can only have one AMS. In this context, the Pale Master Prestige Class is considered AMS.

An experienced mage may be able to change their familiar's appearance, depending on class level and the familiar base type. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Summon Familiar]] for a handy chart. Familiar appearance options appear in the [[Emote Radial]] menu.

=== Special: Lycanthropy ===

Lycanthropy can be contracted In Game. Afflicted Lycanthropes who elect not to be cured and convert to [[Xenon]] (demigod) become Converted Lycanthropes. Upon conversion, they become able to fully control their change. 

'''Important:''' 
[1] In terms of game mechanics, any Player Character of any alignment may become an Afflicted Lycanthrope. On conversion, the PC will become Evil. The Converted Lycanthrope PC must remain Evil to retain Xenon's gift. 
[2] Evil weretiger converts will find favor with [[Stephanus]] (demigod), as well. 
[3] Lycanthrope PCs CANNOT manifest [[Psionics|Psionic]] powers. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Lycanthropy]] for more information. If your PC is a Converted Lycanthrope, type <code>/lform</code> and <code>/lycan</code> for options.

=== Special: Mount & Ride ===

At this time, only a [[Paladin]] (class) may summon and mount a horse (magical beast). While most other characters can ride a horse (animal), you may not find horses wandering around In Game -- except in DM events. This may change in the future. 

'''Restrictions:''' 
[1] Your PC cannot Polymorph while mounted. 
[2] Your PC cannot enter interior areas or server transitions while mounted. 
[3] [[Custom Races|Custom Avlis races]] cannot ride (unless they have the Paladin class and their appearance is [[Human]] or [[Half-Elf]]). This is an OOC limitation.

=== Training: Holy Warriors ===

If your PC is a convert of one of the Great Nine gods of Avlis, they may choose to follow the path of a Holy Warrior. With the exception of Paladin and Blackguard, access to Holy Warrior classes requires DM unlock. 

Holy Warrior status is dependent on roleplay. Your PC may need to join a Holy Order (Avlis guild). For alternatives, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org.

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Holy Warriors]] for more information.

=== Training: Prestige Classes ===

A Prestige Class (PrC) on Avlis is only available if your character meets the mechanic requirements AND roleplay to unlock the class. A character may only have one PrC. 

A few PrCs may be unlocked through an In Game scripted quest. In all other cases, a Player Character with a high rank in a PrC can train others. Once your training is complete, or if unable to find a mentor, send a forum message to [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] (group) on avlis.org. 

Prestige classes allowed on Avlis are: [[Arcane Archer]], [[Assassin]], [[Avlis Dragon Disciple]], [[Dwarven Defender]], [[Pale Master]], [[Shadowdancer]], [[Shifter]], [[Weapon Master]] 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Prestige Classes]] for prerequisites. See also: [[Holy Warriors]]

== PC equipment ==

You can change your equipment's appearance or add special properties through several Avlis systems. Ask around In Game or on the IC forums.

=== Holy Robe & Symbol ===

Your PC can seek conversion to a deity by approaching NPCs in temples, or street clergy. (Some faiths have no permanent In Game representation. Contact [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM] or [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=3799 Event DM] to convert.) 

On successful conversion, your PC will receive a set of plot items; a [[Holy Symbols and Robes|Holy Robe and a Holy Symbol]]. Each of these items has Unique Property which allows to target other (non-plot) items and merge their property to the Holy Robe or Symbol -- for a price. 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Religion]] for a listing of Avlis deities. Many deities will only allow followers of a specific alignment, while others may impose restrictions on race, gender, or no restrictions at all.

=== Alteration Machines ===

Alteration machines allow you to change the appearance of your gear. Alterations come at a GP cost, although experienced crafters may be able to lower their expenses. 

'''''Note:''''' Not all alteration machines accept all types of gear (eg. some may only accept Armor & Clothing). Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Alteration Machines]] for more information.

=== Armor & Clothing Dyes ===

Some Biomerchant NPCs [[Biomerchants#Dyes|sell dyes]] which you can apply to armor or clothing on the go. For a complete chart of dye names and colors, refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Dynamic Dye Color Chart]].

=== Artificed Equipment ===

Certain items manufactured by experienced crafters allow for a skilled Artificer to add permanent bonus properties. This is typically a costly undertaking, both for the Crafter PC and the Artificer PC involved. Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Artificing]] for more information. 

'''''Fun fact:''''' You have a 1:10,000 chance to get an artificeable item from the Avlis [[Loot System]]! When collecting loot, watch out for any item name in color (i.e. non-white).

=== Augment Crystals ===

Token stores, part of the Avlis Recycling System, offer Minor to Superior Augment Crystals (items) in their reward options. 

Augment crystals will ONLY work on an item with an existing enchantment; melee weapons (offensive), armor and shields (defensive). Higher quality crystals require the item to have a stronger enchantment. 

Current augment crystal varies include: Defensive: Crystal of Arrow Deflection, Elemental Defense, Featherweight, Iron Ward; Offensive: Demolition Crystal, Elemental Assault, Phoenix Ash, Truedeath Crystal 

Refer to Avlis Wiki, [[Augment Crystals]] and Avlis Wiki, [[Recycling System]] for more information.

=== Blunderbuss ===

Blunderbuss (item) may refer to one of several types of Gnomish ammunition launchers. This is a collection of items which improve on the use of ammunition and thrown weapons in their own creative way. Get yours from a [[Biomerchants|Biomerchant]]. Beware of backfire.

=== Tyeduan Banes ===

[[Tyeduan Banes]] (items) allow characters of all Classes to enjoy a temporary version of Favored Enemy (the [[Ranger]] feat). Banes work on melee weapons, thrown weapons, ammunition and gloves. You can find Banes vs. all Avlis base race types with different [[Biomerchants]].

Currently, there is one location on Avlis which offers hair color change -- for a price. Ask around In Game or on the [https://avlis.org/viewforum.php?f=128 In Character forums].

== Penalty systems ==

Avlis penalty systems include:

=== Death & dying ===

(Adapted from Avlis Wiki, [[Death and Dying]])

While PC death on Avlis is not permanent, it is meant to be a hindrance. The character's soul travels to [[Dagath]]'s Hall on the Outlands of Concordant Opposition; the so-called '''''death plane'''''. Once there, they will begin a '''''death quest''''' to exit the death plane. 

'''Important:''' IC-ly, PCs may not retain any memories from their death plane visit. 

In terms of game mechanics, when a PC drops below -10 hit points, they are transported to the death plane. They lose ALL non-Plot items in their inventory, as well as 50 XP per level (if above level 2). 

A '''''player corpse placeable''''' is created at the location of their death. It contains the PC's entire inventory (except Plot items and Gold Pieces; those follow the PC to the death plane). 

When the PC completes the death quest & exits the death plane, they are transported to a major temple & recover the lost XP. To retrieve their items, the PC must return to their player corpse; the so-called '''''death run'''''. 

Other ways to '''''exit the death plane''''': 

1. A PC (or an NPC) in the lands of the living may attempt a [[Magic:Resurrection|Resurrection]] spell. This will transport the PC to their player corpse & return the lost XP. 
2. A [[Magic:Raise Dead|Raise Dead]] spell will do the same but lost XP will NOT be returned -- unless the dead PC has already completed their quest. 

Locate your PC's player corpse placeable and click on it. Your items should automatically transfer to your inventory, one by one. It is important to make certain all items have been recovered from the corpse, and that the corpse disappears (sometimes this requires clicking on a empty corpse a second time to make it disappear). If the corpse is left there, and the character dies a second time before a server reset, it is possible that the belongings may be put on the old corpse. 

Last but not least, you will find a '''''player corpse item''''' within the namesake placeable's inventory. It will disappear once your items are transferred. 

If another character picks up this item beforehand, it can be used in two ways: 

1. Carry the fallen: A rare few NPC clerics in major cities will recognize that a PC has another PC's corpse in their inventory, and offer Resurrection on site. 
2. Profane the fallen: Zombie powder is a product of the Herbalism craft. It can create a zombie out of any IG item with "corpse" in its name -- including a player corpse. 

This will not prevent the departed from returning to life but they might be in for a shock!

=== Poison & disease ===

[[Disease|Diseases]] on Avlis require a +50% higher Save than the Bioware originals. 

Poisons, delivered as weapon coating or otherwise, may vary from Mild to Deadly. The Herbalism craft can be used to create poisons and refine venoms, just as well as healers kits. 

Avlis poisons & venoms include: Confusion Poison, Illithid Carnage, Medusa Poison, Psion's Bane, Sleep Poison, Slow Poison; Centipede Venom, Giant Bee Venom, Spider Venom

=== Substance addiction ===

Player characters who frequently turn to alcohol and drugs, may develop substance addiction. [[Addiction]] will clear over time if the PC halts the substance consumption -- but they will experience '''''withdrawal''''' symptoms. Withdrawal is expressed by various penalties to PC abilities. 

Addictive substances on Avlis include: Alcohol (any), Brownsmoke Seeds, Bloodfury Crystals, Deglosian Spirits, Fey Wine, Grainshots, Kao Kao Powder, Mind's Eye Elixir, Nanshaquist, Nemeril's Brew, Orcish Apple Cider, Wizard's Spice

'''Andria''' is the sole steward of the magic drawn from the Mortal Magic Vortex. Whenever a wizard, bard, or sorcerer casts a spell, they are drawing energy from the Mortal Magic Vortex.

Once, the god Andrinor was the master of Mortal Magic. In the [[Timeline#The_year_of_the_Red_Star|Year of the Red Star]], 2271 A.O.D., Andrinor vanished. His eldest daughter, Andria, took custody over Mortal Magic and directed the Orders of [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Trust]] to [https://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=274&t=142436 reform] under the [[Mortal_Magic#Academy_of_Mortal_Magic|Academy of Mortal Magic]].

Andria's church remains informal and is not heavily organized. It remains common for her clerics to double as wizards or sorcerers. These individuals are granted cleric spells from Andria as normal through the God Magic Vortex but it should be noted that Andria's clerics remain unable to Detect Alignment of any type as Andrinor's were.

In 2 A.R., Andria aided [[Valok|Ethraeli]] and [[Stephanus]] in their schemes against Angadar and Bobil, which came to fruition in the event now called [[The_Humbling_of_Angadar|"The Humbling of Angadar"]]. Though not privy to their plans until they came to her for aid, the young goddess was made an offer she could not in good conscience refuse. In exchange for her aid in creating the ritual to summon, bind, and weaken Bobil, she was offered the opportunity to take Angadar's mantle of Arcane Knowledge. Confronted with the possibility of the mantle instead falling into the hands of Ethraeli, Stephanus, or traded away by either one to an equally belligerent deity as Angadar, and the opportunity to make whole two mantles that should have never been set apart, Andria agreed.

It is said that Andria still hopes to see a reconciliation between herself and Angadar, and that this is why she refrained from making a killing blow when she could have done so.

Andrinor was often disorganized and unpredictable in his methods, but out of necessity people of all races and alignments worshipped him. While many did so with enthusiasm, others did so grudgingly. This is because Andrinor considered magic a delicate art that needed to be respected, and he took great care to enforce it.

Andria has a temple in [[Visimontium]], and a shrine in [[Mikona]]. Each branch of the Academy of Mortal Magic includes a chapel dedicated to Andria as well.

==Description==
Dragon Disciples of Avlis have formed a close bond with a dragon, and thereby gained some of the dragon's essence. This manifests in the form of draconic abilities, powers, and changes in appearance. The nature of the connection between any given Disciple and their sponsor dragon can vary, with the Disciple being viewed as a dear friend, a powerful vassal, or trusted agent.

==Requirements==
'''Alignment''': Your character's alignment '''must match''' the alignment of the dragon who is giving your character some of their essence.

'''Skills''': [[NWN:Lore|Lore]] 8, [[NWN:Spellcraft|Spellcraft]] 5

==== How To Unlock The Class: Message The Event DM Team ====
In order to unlock the class you will need to contact the team to start the in-character roleplay to find/meet/form a connection with a dragon NPC that matches your PC's alignment.

To contact the team send a private message to the Event DM team via the forums at https://www.avlis.org/.

You can also contact the team via Discord via the team-assistance channel: https://discord.gg/sh6SB8WkCv.

From there, your PC will come in contact with a dragon of the type that matches (discussed with the Event team) and about 3 or so in-game sessions will occur (potentially with tasks requested by the dragon but this is not definitive) before the unlock happens. These in-game sessions will revolve around your PC getting to know the dragon and connecting with them in some way and the dragon granting their essence to your PC (unlocking the class.)

==== Will I Work With A Specific Event DM For My Unlock? ====
A specific event DM will reach out to work with you on the in-game sessions for your unlock (you can certainly ask for an Event DM in particular if you'd like, or not.) The event DM team will keep track of unlocks that are pending and their status and will look to match an event DM with your time zone/play time that allows for things to progress smoothly.

If, for whatever reason, a DM is unable to complete your unlock then it will be communicated and another event DM will take over the unlock.

==== What Can I Expect For The Relationship With My PC's Dragon Ally Post Unlock? ====
The relationship between your PC and the dragon they ally with and become a Disciple for is somewhat analogous to the Warlock class in D&D. The relationship depends on your PC, the dragon, and their personalities and connection.

The exact nature of the relationship with the dragon patron varies depending on the dragon.

You or your dragon may wish to continue your connection, your PC may wish to do tasks for your dragon, or in general keep in contact.

It's not required to keep in contact, but it's possible if you as a player want to and ICly it's desired. The NPC is a contact that could be relevant to your PC in the future, could be pulled in for future plots, etc.

The connection with your dragon continues so long as you think it's fun to continue it, just like any NPC connection a PC has.

==Avlis Changes From Default Red Dragon Disciple==
====Static Hit Die====
*Unlike [[NWN:Red dragon disciple|standard Red Dragon Disciple]] the Avlis Dragon Disciple does not gain a hit die increase while levelling. Instead, the Avlis Dragon Disciple has a static hit die of d10.
'''Breath Weapon'''
* The breath weapon gained at level 3 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.

====Wings====
* The wings gained at level 9 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.
* Available Wing Colors:
** Brass (Brass Dragon)
** Bronze (Bronze Dragon)
** Copper (Copper Dragon)
** Silver (Silver Dragon)
** Gold (Gold Dragon)
** White (Marble Dragon)
** Black (Coal Dragon)
** Green (Olivine Dragon)
** Blue (Azurite Dragon)
** Red (Bauxite Dragon)
* Available Wing Types:
** Dragon
** Demon
'''Tails'''
* If your character already has wings (e.g., they are an Avariel, have a roleplay reward, etc.) then they will instead be given tail corresponding to the dragon color.
'''Immunity'''
* The immunity type gained at level 10 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.
'''Changelings'''
* On level up and on login, if your character meets the requirements for wings but does not currently have them set then they will be set on your PC. This means that if you are in a form that lacks wings and go through either of these steps you will gain wings.
* If you are in a form that has wings (e.g. your Changeling looks like an Avariel) they will instead gain a tail.
* You can use the Changeling menu to set your form to what it was prior to gaining wings/a tail on level up/login if desired.
* If you are in a form that does not have a wing slot (e.g. an animal that does not display wings) and wings would be gained, then the wings will not visually display.
* From an in-character perspective, you can treat this as the changeling form being able to adjust for the wings but the dragon essence doesn't go away, so they'll end up returning at some point.
'''Are The Wings Recognizable?'''

* They are similar to other unique visual features of a PC. For example, if someone has only ever met 1 human dragon disciple with red wings and that dragon disciple was talking about a specific Bauxite dragon, and then the PC goes and meets an elf with the same looking wings talking about that same Bauxite, the PC might end up making the connection that the human and elf could be the same person.

==Notes==
*All Avlis Dragon Disciples gain immunity to paralysis and sleep at level 10.

==Description==
Shadowdancers operate in the border between light and darkness. These nimble artists of deception are never completely trusted but always induce wonder when met. Many use their abilities to infiltrate past defenses and dupe others. [[Rogue]]s and [[Bard]]s are the most common shadowdancers.

==Requirements==

==Avlis Changes==
====Darkvision====
*Ultravision is given to SDs of level 2 and up when joining the server.

====Hide in Plain Sight====
* HiPS islimited to once every round when using this ability. This will allow players to keep themselves honest and not spam HiPS. (Edit 2024/03/20: This was made possible starting NWN:EE v36. The Avlis duplicate feat is still present and will be retired in the future.)

====Shadow Evade====
*Duration is 5 + 2*SD level rounds
*Total uses per day equal to 3 + SD level / 5
*Temporary Hide/MS bonus equal to SD level

====Shadow Jump====
* This works similar to Dimension Door and is given to SDs at level 4. A shadowdancer will be able to use the ability for a total distance of 10 meters per level per day. If the SD targets himself with the ability, the remaining distance that day will be shown.

====Summon Shadow====
*Rather than the default NWN feat which used several different summoned shadow blueprints as the Shadowdancer leveled, on Avlis a Shadowdancer summons a single creature named Shadow Companion. The Shadow Companion levels up to the Shadowdancer's class level when spawned.
*The normal Shadow Companion will match the Shadowdancer's class level up to max level 10. If the Shadowdancer takes the Epic Shadow Lord feat at Shadowdancer level 13, the shadow will again level up to the Shadowdancer's level and will gain fighter levels.
*The Shadow Companion becomes stronger at higher levels with increasing DR, AC, hide skill.
*Shadow Companion matches the alignment of the Shadowdancer.
*Shadow Companion joins the Shadowdancer as a henchman. Will not unsummon when the Shadowdancer rests.
*Shadow Companion cannot be [[NWN:Turn Undead|turned]].
*Updated AI allows the shadow to use its [[Magic:Darkness|Darkness]] ability.
*New conversation adds an option to allow SD to heal the shadow.

==Notes==
*Often only 1 level of Shadowdancer is taken to gain access to the Hide in Plain Sight feat. This has lead to many servers imposing minimum-level restrictions for this class.
*Epic Shadowdancers can come into their own, especially multiclass Rogue/Shadowdancers as they have a number of abilities for supporting [[NWN:Sneak Attack|sneak attack]]. Summon Shadow can be used for [[NWN:Flanking|flanking]], Shadow Daze can grant [[NWN:flat-foot|flat-foot]]ed conditions and Hide in Plain Sight can grant invisible attacker benefits.
*Shadowdancer and [[Weapon Master]] are the only classes lacking the generic class skills [[NWN:craft weapon|craft weapon]], [[NWN:craft trap|craft trap]], [[NWN:craft armor|craft armor]] as well as [[NWN:concentration|concentration]] and [[NWN:Parry|Parry]] (all are [[NWN:cross-class skill|cross-class skill]]s).
*The Epic Shadowlord feat can be taken as epic bonus feat only.

Prestige Classes

VoidHamlet: ADD

[[Category:Prestige classes| Prestige Classes]]

The coming of [[NWN:SoU]] and [[NWN:HotU]] have seen the introduction of prestige classes. Prestige classes are taken very seriously on Avlis. Even if your PC fulfills the requirements necessary to start gaining levels in a certain prestige class (such as arcane archer or assassin), he will not be able to do so until he also finds and completes a scripted quest tied to that class, or has it unlocked by another character who has achieved mastery (at least 10 levels) in the Prestige Class. The completion of this quest is to signify the pains that must be taken to get the specialized training necessary to gain levels in that prestige class. A player can also have a prestige class unlocked by a DM upon completing a special DM quest, or as a roleplaying award.

It is important to note that three of the prestige classes in NWN are not allowed in Avlis. The first is the Red Dragon Disciple. This is because red dragons are not indigenous to Avlis, so no native Avlissian character can have red dragon blood. The second is the Champion of Torm. Torm is not worshipped in Avlis, so he has no followers here. The third is the Harper Scout. The Harpers are an organization exclusive to the Forgotten Realms and therefore do not exist on Avlis.

Avlis also has its own special prestige classes. These are the [[Holy Warriors]] of the nine major gods (see Part II, Chapter 4, Section F). To be able to gain levels in these prestige classes you must have it unlocked by another character who has achieved mastery (10 levels or more) in the class, or by a DM. The IC process of becoming a Holy Warrior varies - some may require you to become a part of the in-game Holy Order, others will not. It is worth noting that the process of becoming a Holy Warrior can be arduous, lengthy, and involves some intense roleplay! The exception is the Paladin class, which is a base class. This means anyone can choose to gain levels in Paladin (so long as they meet the requirements); however, it is an Avlis rule that all Paladins are both worshippers and Holy Warriors of Gorethar.

Taking more than one PrC for a player character require DM permission, which is very rarely granted. See the ruling here [https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=1413129 "A note on multiple PrC request policy"] in the Avlis forum before you consider taking multiple prestige classes.

'''Visimontium''' is a city in the northern part of the nation of [[Deglos]], although it is politically independent of Deglos; It is relatively near the Deglos borders with [[Galdos]] and [[Servator]]. The city is surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Avlis and sits on the southern shore of [[Lake Crescetoria]]. It is home to many temples, academic institutions, and [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Trust]]. Visimontium is often mentioned as the Holy City of [[Andrinor]].

The city is described in great detail in [[Miriel's Guide to Visimontium]].
