The Combat XP Stop Token All characters will receive a token upon advancing to level six which will block them from earning any combat XP; this token is given again when a PC reaches level nine. Any DM may remove this token and allow a character to continue to earn combat xp. Any DM may also give a player a combat XP blocking token at any time, even after one has been removed (we hope this won't be the case, but we will do it with good reason, if we have to). To have this combat XP blocking token removed, you must (you guessed it) put diligent and sincere effort into role-play and character development. Possessing a positive, community-oriented attitude will also help. Any DM may make your case to the other DMs for removing your blocking token, but please do not pester them to have it removed. If you do, you will only hurt your case. Exception: If your PC possesses a Mithril Star when he reaches level six, he will not receive this token. Removal of this token from your character will in no way be dependent upon the presence of a Mithril Star in your inventory. Our standards for awarding a Mithril Star will remain far higher than those for removing the XP blocking token. Even PCs possessing a Mithril Star will receive a blocking token when advancing to level nine.
Halting combat XP gains at this point allows us to retain enough control to continue to emphasize the role-play nature of this server, but still allows players to advance to a level that will give them a good measure of security. Being stopped at these levels could be considered as sort of an evaluation period - it's that level at which you really need the help of an outside teacher to pass through your plateau. Level six is high enough to allow some significant power, as well as the ability to travel most places (especially in a group), but low enough to keep powergamers from running the show. We still feel as we always have about powergamers, and will never let them ultimately surpass the role-players. This thread in our forums will give additional imformation. |
