Quick Summary

Arelith has a number of options available regarding adjusting your Character and remaking them entirely.

Relevel - Using the console command -relevel, you will be returned to level 1 whilst retaining all of your XP. This will allow you to reselect Feats, Skill and Stats from level 2.

Remake - Using the ingame command -remake_character will delete your character without rolling on the Epic Sacrifice system. This will allow you to remake a Character of the same name. A server reset is required before you can re-select the same name

Character Adjustment - Character adjustments have been discontinued for the time being. For more information, please read This Announcement.

Process Explanations

Relevel

Using the ingame command -relevel will return you to level 1 whilst retaining all of your XP. It is imperative that you reach level 2 before logging out, as it may result in a loss of your inventory.

Note: Your crafting points are not reset with the -relevel command. This is only available through a request to the DM team and at DM discretion.

Remake

At any point, you may choose to use the -remake_character command to remake your Character from scratch. This process will delete your Character without rolling on the Epic Sacrifice table.

You may remake your Character with the same name and retain prior RP memories
Your Character MUST remain the same race
You cannot add new awards to a remade character
When remaking a character who had an award, you will need an award available to spend on it again for the remake.

This process will reset your XP, Bank Balance, Inventory, Storage, Properties and any other previously stored information regarding your Character.

Note: A server reset will need to take place before using the same name.

Vampires: Due to server population limits on Vampires, they are not eligible for a remake.

Rules and Etiquette

Muling is not permitted in any form. Following a remake, any property or posessions previously held by the Character may not be retaken or returned to them.

Note: Properties may be owned again, provided they are found for sale uninfluenced.

In the case of a character Relevel it is considered to be an exploit when abusing the command for examples such as:

Rebuilding to take and use Crafting Feats and then switching back
Rebuilding to take and use Class/Skills and then switching back
Selecting a class with a language and then switching back
Selecting a class to manipulate the crafting system and then switching back.

If in doubt of what is and is not "Gaming the system" ask a member of the DM Team. For most cases, if you are going to switch class, we will expect you to stick with it and have good RP reasons to have switched in the first place. Excessive use of the relevel function is monitored.

Character Adjustments

First Level adjustments have been discontinued for the time being. For more information, please read This Announcement.

-When remaking your character, you have three options.
+{{SystemsNav|title=Character Remake}}
-* Fresh Start: Remake with a slightly different name. No transfer of items, gold or properties is allowed. This is just like creating a new character, except that the memory of the old one is retained.
-* Remake with same name AFTER you use [[Console_commands#-delete_character|-delete_character]] command. Again, you will not retain items, gold, crafting points, shops, quarters, etc. See below for an extended explanation.
-* Ask a DM to delevel you to any level you want. Those levels will not be refunded. In this case, you keep all items and properties you may own. You also keep your allocated crafting points, but will not earn any new crafting points until after you reach your old level.

-=== Deleveling===
+== Quick Summary ==
-You can ask a DM for assistance with deleveling, but you will be not getting the removed EXP back. Alternatively, deleveling can be done using the [[Console_command#-losexp|-losexp]] command. If you lose XP all the way to level 1, be sure to gain enough XP for level 2 before logging as it may result in a loss of inventory.

-*Taking a class/skill ranks in order to get to somewhere, and then switch back.
-*Taking a class to craft something you couldn't before.
-: Simply ask yourself "is this gaming the system?". In case of doubt, ask your friendly neighborhood DMs for clarification. For most cases and intent, if you are going to switch to a class in order to get into somewhere you couldn't before, you are expected to stick with that class for a long while and have good RP reasons to have taken that class to begin with, and '''not''' relevel once a week to switch your skill dump allocation to be a parry master one day, and then a disguise master the next, and then a master beast tamer, and so on.
+:'''Note''': Your crafting points are not reset with the [[Console_command#-relevel|-relevel]] command.  This is only available through a request to the DM team and at DM discretion.
-=== Remake with same name===
+=== Remake ===
-Due to a bug in Neverwinter Nights, the game remembers certain things about your character even after deletion, and applies that memory to a new character with the same name, even if it is not exactly the same character. Here is the recommended remake process.
+At any point, you may choose to use the -remake_character command to remake your Character from scratch. This process will delete your Character without rolling on the Epic Sacrifice table.
+*You may remake your Character with the same name and retain prior RP memories
+*Your Character MUST remain the same race
+*You cannot add new awards to a remade character
+*When remaking a character who had an award, you will need an award available to spend on it again for the remake.
+This process will reset your XP, Bank Balance, Inventory, Storage, Properties and any other previously stored information regarding your Character.
-* Issue the [[Console_commands#-delete_character|-delete_character]] command to delete your existing character.
+:'''Note''': A server reset will need to take place before using the same name.
-* '''Important''': Wait until the next time there is a server reset. There is usually one every 24 hours, and you can [http://portal.arelith.com/ check] to track server uptime.
+:'''Vampires''': Due to server population limits on Vampires, they are not eligible for a remake.
-* Create the new character.
-Step 2 is very important, because the server must first "forget" about your old character. Failing to do so will result in the following:
+=== Rules and Etiquette ===
+Muling is not permitted in any form. Following a remake, any property or posessions previously held by the Character may not be retaken or returned to them.
-* When you first log in, you will see your full bank account, and have access to any quarters, shops, citizenships etc. that your old character had.
+:'''Note''': Properties may be owned again, provided they are found for sale uninfluenced.
-* After the next server restart, or when you change server, you will lose '''all''' of your character's possessions, bank balance will reset and you will lose the data which previously appeared to have been carried over from the old character.
-===For Characters at or above Level 16===
+In the case of a character Relevel it is considered to be an exploit when abusing the command for examples such as:
-The automatic [[Epic Sacrifice]] system ("rolling") now applies to all characters 16 and above. If you want to remake the character, it MUST be at 15 or below.
+*Rebuilding to take and use Crafting Feats and then switching back
+*Rebuilding to take and use Class/Skills and then switching back
+*Selecting a class with a language and then switching back
+*Selecting a class to manipulate the crafting system and then switching back.

-'''DM Lilac and Mith''' said:
+== Character Adjustments ==
-:"If your character is below the threshold of being allowed to roll, then you are welcome to remake them all you want (with a reset inbetween to prevent bugs).
-:If your character is above the threshold, then get a DM to lower you below, and then remake.
-:If you roll a character for a reward, you are not allowed to remake them."
-:In fact, you may only remake a character as long as you delete them naturally through [[Console command#-delete_character|-delete_character]] being below level 16. If the character encounters any other sort of [[Death#Permanent death of character|permadeath]], they may not be remade.
