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 can do one of these:
+{{SystemsNav|title=Character Remake}}
-* Fresh Start: Remake with a slightly different name. No transfer of items, gold or properties is allowed.
-* Remake with same name AFTER you use [[Console_commands#-delete_character|-delete_character]] command. You will not retain craftpoints, shops, quarters, etc.  See below for extended explanation.
-* Ask a DM to delevel you to any level you want. Those levels will not be refunded.

-=== Deleveling===
+Relevel - Using the console command [[Console_command#-relevel|-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.
-You can ask a DM for assistance with deleveling, but you will be not getting the removed EXP back. There are several ways how to delevel by yourself:
-* You can use the Book of Deities for removal of EXP. Just change god enough times at a 500xp penalty each time.
-* Go on daring raids, die and respawn.
-* Spent gold on [[enchanting]] items with very little chance of success.
-DM Deli: '''"If you are not happy with your character and want to start over, go ahead but are no refunds. This goes for quarters and gold as well."'''
+Remake - Using the ingame command [[Console_command#-remake_character|-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
-Note, that transfer of items or gold between any of your characters is also not permitted.
+Character Adjustment - Character adjustments have been discontinued for the time being. For more information, please read [https://forum.nwnarelith.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&p=327279#p327279| This Announcement].
-=== Remake with same name===
+== Process Explanations ==
-Mithreas: "So long as you use -delete_character first, it's fine. having two active characters with the same name can cause a -lot- of bad stuff. But starting with a new char with the same name as one you've previously played is OK, so long as you never ever play the old copy again. Hence, -delete_character."
+=== Relevel ===
+Using the ingame command [[Console_command#-relevel|-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.
-Fireboar: Remaking with the same name on the same day as you deleted the old character is not recommended and causes problems that are low-priority to fix. It's fine after a reset though, so you can delete, wait for a reset and remake. You can also remake without deleting if you like, saving deletion for a later date.
+:'''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.
-While the cache creation used to keep quarters, bank accounts, shops and the like around if you created with the same name, this is no longer true.  With the "no refunds" policy, if you create this way, and you lose your quarters or belongings, they will not be replaced.  Make sure you are aware of this when remaking your character.
+=== Remake ===

-== Names of remade characters ==
+=== 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.
-If you make a new character it is very important to alter the name a bit (like  turning Carlos to Cárlos or the like). For renaming on most servers you can add a space, but this is NOT the case on Arelith. You -must- add or change a letter within the name for recreation.
+:'''Note''': Properties may be owned again, provided they are found for sale uninfluenced.
-It is '''Very Bad''' to have more than one character with the same name, mechanically. Don't ever do it!  Use [[Console_commands#-delete_character|-delete_character]] before recreating or use different name to avoid future problems.
