Server Rules

[SotU]

Secrets of the Underworld is focused on its own realm and world, and as such, it uses rules that are specific to the module itself. However, being a NwN game, the module is mostly based off of a blend of 3.0 & 3.5 DnD Forgotten Realms. While we are a small community and can generally just trust eachother to act appropriately, the following rules are expected to be followed by every player. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask a DM or bring it up here in the forum.
Edit:Revised to be more fair, enlightening and easier to read.

Roleplay:
-Be original. This encompasses your character name as well.
-Stay true to your character AND the setting. This doesn't mean you have to be from the setting but at least be respectful

-There is such a thing as godmoding. Don't do it.

-Exploitation, either NwN or server based, is a bannable offense so don't do it.

-Pick pocketing must require IC reasoning other than boredom,
kleptomania, or insanity. This similarly applies to setting traps.

-Roleplay your race, class, abilities, and alignment.

-If you drive another character into a situation that the player feels uncomfortable with, then you are expected to stop what you're doing if the player asks you to.

-There is a six second interval rule when using HIPS. Since scripting this out is impossible, you will lose your privilege of this feat if it becomes a problem. Basically, no spamming knockdown and going into stealth and popping back out to hit again. Nothing else along those lines either.

OOC:
-Respect your fellow players and DMs. Everyone is here to have fun.

-Denote your OOC comments and be mindful of others roleplaying in the same area as you when you go OOC.

-There is absolutely no harrassment. This is your only warning.

-Any bugs found should be reported immediately.

-There is such a thing as metagaming, powergaming and exploiting bugs. Don't do it. This is your only warning.

-There is NO muling of items. If people are caught muling, the items will be stripped from the character. You can only transfer items to a character you're completely remaking or if there is a valid excuse for it.

-No unsolicited areas are allowed. If you want a house, please view the FAQ & Misc. Info thread.

Your character:
-Anything beyond the NwN standard base races must be applied for. Tiefling, Aasimar and drow are the only three exceptions to this.*

-As mentioned above, try be original with your character name and don't use symbols in it, especially # " { } since these mess up server scripts and the in-game tells.

-You cannot have less than five levels in any single class.

-You may now take Greater ruin and epic mage armor. These two spells are mostly balanced and mages need a way to output damage.

-Joke characters are not permitted altogether.

-Non-NwN spells & abilities that have not been implemented into the server must have the consent of the administration before being used.

EDIT: Deleted the random class disallow since it was the product of immaturity and lack of respect for a certain player.
