- FAQ Index - CHECK HERE FIRST! -

Kerby

Sorry all… I had been working on the FAQs page with Lisara and RaDSaM and slacked off during the holidays. BrianJ, if you want to take over I will post what I have thus far, feel free... but be prepared for sensory overload... I was still trying to pair this down. Also, keep in mind that I think the idea was to replace the FAQ screens with this information.

BrianJ

I will be working on getting all of these FAQs over to the front page. I will go one at a time, working my way down the index. Please message me if you have any updates to your FAQs.

And thanks for digging these up from the forums.

Sorry, been out over the weekend… man, if this is what happens when I go on a shopping trip, I'm going to have to start hopping more via internet!

I'll get it cleaned up. Thanks Father.

Kerby, unfortunately your excellent post on FAQs links to the old forums, which don't exist.

Illuminatus

You guys rule.

And someday we will learn to bottle Kerby and sell her to small businesses. Be the next big thing after Fax Machines.

The rules O rez are:

1 Soul Shard which raises you and sets your XP to 1. You are given it at character creation and it disapears when you use it or hit level 2.

True Rez: Currently very expensive (6500gold) and available only by traveling to peltarch. No XP is lost from this.

Raise Dead: Can be performed by a Cleric of high enough level who has a Diamond (which costs 500 gold) or can also be performed by the Cleric/Healer in Jiyyd, Peltarch, or Norwick. The NPC will be more expensive than the 500 gold based on your level. You will be put in the middle of the last level you attained. Thus if you are level 7, you will be put halfway between 6 and 7 after raise.

Succubus: In the Fugue (Heaven) is a Succubus who will return you to life and will take one level and then put you at the middle of the level before that. Thus a level seven will be half way between 5 and 6 after raise.

In every death you will loose all your non token items, so you better hope there are friends who will pick up your stuff for you and return it to you when you are raised.

There are no Rezzes given by DMs for bugs, lag, stupidity, transition problems, etc etc etc. Sometimes the DMs will issue free rezzes if they make a mistake and kill you. (IE you were sitting in town and they right-clicked the kill button on you) They will usually NOT give you a free rez if you die on a quest. In other words, if you die, for any reason, don't plan on help from the DMs, use one of the above methods.

I'd just like to observe that the 'Death and Ressurrection' part of the FAQ list is tremendously underdetailed… all it basically is is a blanket statement of "don't expect a free res from the DMs, bucko." I think a detailed post on exactly what the penalties of death in Narf are would be very, very useful, and might help the newb mortality rate.

As I understand it (without confidence, please correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am) the policies are as such:

<snip>If someone more knowledgable than I could write up the correct details and link it in, I think this'd be a boon.

EDIT: See Illuminatus' post below for the reply and details.

I played a svirfneblin in PnP once, it was amusing to say the least… he went the way of my Fey'ri Wizard though... smashed under a rock by a giant.

@e2da087984=X-Kalibur:

Nobody wants to be stinky ol' Duergar anyway

Well, who'd want to play a svirfneblin, for crying out loud?Those were on the list before… With the current numbers of dwarves and gnomes, I'd figure duergar are more likely to appear than svirfneblin ^_^
