FAQ

Will players be allowed to rebuild their characters after an event or two, if they don't like how their skills are working out?

Absolutely. We want players to be happy with their characters, and if they're not working out as the player hoped, we're happy to enable changes.

In addition, there will be means available in game to alter a character's skills in small ways and, with effort, even change what Training they have chosen. Changing Themes will be harder, as they're central to a character's concept, but it might be possible.

We don't want people changing skills back and forth constantly, but as long as we don't feel that people are abusing the system, we're happy to help people build and play their characters as they wish.

Can I know X person before game starts, even though I'm from Earth and they're from Ariath, or vice versa?

Short Answer: Yes, if it's important to your character history, but be aware it can get complicated.

Originally, we had planned to have all characters from Earth be entering Ariath for the first time at game start, or when they first enter play. However, we've seen a lot of interesting and fun ideas for characters who have had small interactions with Ariath before game start, and we want to enable that if it helps people's enjoyment of the game. We'd rather that it not be the standard, and we hope that we'll have plenty of people from Earth who are having their first Ariath experience as well.

That said, pre-game start interactions across worlds can be complicated by the fact that time does not flow at the same rate in both worlds. If your character from Earth went to Ariath as a child, twenty years ago, that may mean that centuries have passed on Ariath in the interim, and many of the people you met at that time might have since passed on. That doesn't mean this kind of connection can't happen, just that it might be tricky to make the character history work without causing weird contradictions.

So, if cross-world connections are important to you, feel free to put them in your character history. We just ask that you to trust us and be patient with us if we have to alter details to make them work well.

I have health issues, and can't melee / cast / fight at all this event. Can I get a temporary character rebuild so I can still participate?

Absolutely. Either contact the director between events, or talk to the check-in person, and we'll be happy to accommodate you. Please let us know anything our medical staff should know in order to help you if you have further problems during the event.
