It differs slightly in wording and style from the other rules articles, and is much shorter. Please let is stay this way. This article is meant to be read by new players, not knowing any Avlis related terms. Something like "Roleplaying Enforced" might sound harsh, but it is actually a well known term in the NWN community. | |||
