Gameplay
This is information a player should know before logging on to DR. LIsted below are specific changes that the staff has made to scripts as well as standard items and spells. Also, importantly, listed below are the rules! Read these before playing!

Script Changes

 * True Seeing does not automatically penetrate hidden creatures. Instead, the spell grants See Invisiblity and grants a bonus to Spot and Listen.  Casting True Seeing from a scroll will only grant the caster See Invisibility and not the skill bonuses.


 * Devastating Critical has been disabled.


 * Items granting any Immunity have been altered or removed from the module.


 * There are no permanent haste items or permanent true seeing items.


 * Resurrection scrolls and Greater Restoration scrolls have been removed.


 * Pickpocket has been changed

Rules (v 2.3)
In order to keep DR as sane as possible, these are the rules we have implemented to make it as fair as possible for everyone. They are not open for debate. They are not inclusive and subject to change. But they are the basis. Have fun and enjoy DR !!


 * Class Restrictions: None. We removed them all for now. Fear the DMS if all you make is ubers. We will respond with better encounters.


 * Character Names: The name chosen by a Player Character can be more important to how others view them than most think.  In a name do not use: special Characters (accents are ok), symbols, numbers, unecessary spaces. Inappropriate use of Capital Letters. Furthermore, please do not intentionally create names that have been taken already: Gandalf, Chewbacca and such. Do not give yourself a title, (Lord etc) these are given on DM authority. Please do think about the name you will use. So as an example.. the worst name you could create would be... X-_-SiR Ga|\|dAlF2003-_-X.  Names as Lucky, Wish, Starbright, Wolf, Somebody are not allowed either. A name should be a name, not an item or animal, etc.  Think of something originally.. first impressions are lasting impressions. DMs *will* ask you to log out or we will change it without warning.


 * Powergaming: If you want to level a character... go right ahead. But do not loop the same area endlessly, do not sneak past spawns to get loot, you will visit DM Central if caught.


 * PvP: You're welcome to PvP but it should ever only be for correct roleplay reasons. There should be no OOC reason behind it whatsoever. Furthermore, reasons such as â€œHe is evilâ€ or â€œI am evilâ€ are unacceptable.  Murder for no reason is unacceptable.  A wise thing to do is consult with a DM if you have doubts.  Hunting down low levels for no particular reason is totally unacceptable. Consenting non roleplay PvP is to be kept to arena areas within the game.


 * Pickpocket: No more than 5 items from one character in the space of one server reset. If you get yourself caught the other player is entitled to take whatever action he/she deems necessary to retrieve the items. You may not pickpocket someone of a much lower level than yourself.


 * Metagaming is not allowed. Our definition is as follows and is not inclusive: Logging to avoid death, logging to save your character with another character. Passing items between characters that you have including giving items to friends to hold for you.


 * Assassin: All assassination contracts must be first cleared by a DM to ensure it's done for the correct RP reasons. Contact the DM via the forums or in game DM channel.


 * Player Harassment: Player Harassment is a difficult thing to define, as it covers a wide range of possibilities.Some examples of player harassment are as follows: rudeness, badgering, nagging, pestering, annoying, plaguing, troubling, persecuting, threatening, demanding. As well as more serious offences such as foul language directed in a personally attacking fashion, initiating PvP against another player for malicious reasons. It is up to the player to come forward if he/she feels she is being harassedâ€¦ screenshot evidence is a very good resource to provide a DM with.  Harassment may instantly lead to being banned from the server for good.


 * Loss of XP, Gold and items: We will not return lost items... server crashes and the like are a fact and it happens. We would love to help you in these cases, but the best way to deal with it is to say no to everyone.


 * Public Swearing: DemonRealms is a family server, and we have many younger players, and many who may be offended by vulgarity. Swearing is NOT allowed. 4 letter curse words are not to be used here. Action will be taken against people who persist. Racist comments, obscene or indecent sexual language, or Out-of-Character personally attacking comments are totally disallowed and will probably ban you from the server.


 * Exploiting Known Bugs: When Bioware created NWN they left a huge trail of bugsâ€¦ many of these became outright exploits. Players are not allowed to take advantage of these exploits. If a player accidentally uses one it is up to the player to report it to a DM and have it dealt with. I will not go into any example of what exploits are (don't want to encourage anyone)â€¦ simply use common sense. Any Bugs/Exploits found within the actual module itself should be reported to the DM's so the appropriate action may be taken about it.  Exploiting bugs may lead to a ban from the server.

Consequences
What happens if the rules are broken?

Each case is unique, therefore no rigid guidelines can be provided on punishments. In every case things such as previous offences etc must be taken into consideration. This is the way we deal with people who break the rules:

3 Strike Rule

1. Warning from DM in game.

2. Deduction of 50 % of all your characters levels.

3. Server Ban.

Most cases will hopefully be resolved by either 1 or 2; however any DM can take action on the list if he/she deems it necessary. The DM has the final say in any case. If you feel you were treated unfairly then please post a complaint in the forums or PM/email an admin, our contact info is posted in the main portal. There will be no excuse for breaking any of these rules. They are posted here, on the server, and repeated many times.

We reserve the right to modify or change these rules at any time, dynamically, on a case by case basis.

In Game Death
When you die you can wait for a resurrection or a raise dead. Or respawn. When the server resets you will still be dead, transported back to where you lay dead before.

Respawn will cost you:

XP: 100 per level

Gold: lvl 4-10 100 gp/lvl, lvl 11-20 200 gp/lvl , lvl 21-30 300 gp/lvl , lvl 31-40 400 gp/lvl
