When remaking your character, you have three options.
- 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 -delete_character command. Again, you will not retain craftpoints, 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.
Longer explanations
Deleveling
You can ask a DM for assistance with deleveling, but you will be not getting the removed EXP back. There are several alternative ways in which you can delevel by yourself:
- You can use the Book of Deities for removal of EXP. Every time you switch deity you will lose 500 EXP.
- Go on daring raids, die and respawn.
- Spent gold on enchanting items with very little chance of success.
Remember: There are no refunds. You must gain the lost experience through normal means. Note also that the transfer of items or gold between any of your characters is not permitted.
Remake with same name
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.
- Issue the -delete_character command to delete your existing character.
- Important: Wait until the next time there is a server reset. There is usually one every 24 hours, and you can check [1] to track server uptime.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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 those things which were previously carried over from the old character.
