Whether a character gets old or an idea a player runs with decides to toss it, the character may be retired. Once a character is declared retired by posting in retirement home, a new character may be created at one level lower than your former character. A character that retires may be brought back at a later date but will not be the “same” as it was before retirement, so the people the character knew, or knowledge will be different. This is due to no timelines mixing in terms of story.
Each player may retire 3 characters per month. Upon the retirement message, the player must also state either “x of 3” or “x/3” to alert staff of their retirement limits.
-
- Hitting all 3 slots for the month will prohibit the player from creating additional characters.
- Characters that die are exempt from this count,
For retired characters, please use the chart to determine the items allocated for the new character.
-
- Upon death or retirement, the new character will start 1 Lv. lower than its predecessor.
- If a character dies at level 3 in any of the slots, the new character may start at level 3, unless stated otherwise to be lower.
In order to take a magic item that has a mundane equivalent you must be able to pay for the cost of the mundane equivalent from your starting gold.
-
- Example: Cast-off Studded Leather (45 gp mundane + 1210 gp uncommon rarity = 1255 gp total cost) will need to be minus-ed from players starting gold, if taking as wonderous item. Find the costs of wonderous rarity items here.
- If an item comes from the starting equipment, no mundane cost is needed and may satisfy the magical rarity (but must be stated in the message.)
- For starting items, players must state the items they purchase with starting gold and magical items.
