'''Shifters are sometimes called weretouched, as they are descendants of people who contracted full or partial lycanthropy. Humanoids with a bestial aspect, shifters cannot change shape and are stuck in a middle ground between human and bestial form.

Shifters are similar to humans in height and build but are typically more lithe and flexible. Their facial features have a bestial cast, often with large eyes and pointed ears; most shifters also have prominent canine teeth. They grow fur-like hair on nearly every part of their bodies. While a shifter’s appearance might remind an onlooker of an animal, they remain clearly identifiable as shifters even when at their most feral.'''

'''Character Design:''' Eyes, Ears, Tail, Claws, special skins, and tattoo fur textures are things which Shifters may use. Shifters may not add extra fur to their body through ToT additions. Shifters are always at the same level of bestial aspect and cannot change it, including during the full moon.

'''Descended from an earlier subrace of dark-skinned elves, the drow were banished from the surface world for following the goddess Lolth down the path to evil and corruption. Now they have built their own civilization in the depths of the Underdark, patterned after the Way of Lolth. Also called dark elves. the drow have black skin that resembles polished obsidian and stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have very pale eyes (so pale as to be mistaken for white) in shades of lilac, silver, pink, red, and blue. They tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves.'''

Reroll

Bulltrup: /* Starting a Reroll */ 7/28/2026 announcement

==Starting a Reroll==
You may reroll once every 14 days.

When rerolling you will go through with the same process as whitelisting and open up a reroll ticket. When you choose to delete or shelf your character, you may choose a concise message for your disappearance in the ticket. This message is just the fact your character is missing from the lands. For more information required for the reroll, please see the [[New_Players_Guide#Character_Creation|New Players Guide]] character creation section.
 

'''Required Items'''
# Character Name
# Race
# Class
# Subclass
# Whitelist Screenshot
There is a single retraining from Seymour in Livarun's Training grounds per character.

==Deleting==
[[File:CaptAvardon.png|right|250px|thumb|The Deletion NPC. Do not interact with this until staff tell you to in your reroll ticket.]]
If you do not want to shelf your character, you can simply delete them and immediately reroll to a new character. When the ticket is opened staff will set your character to be eligible for deletion or shelving. When you choose to delete your character, you can speak with '''Captain Avardon''' in Spawn. After doing so you will need to rename yourself with Bobby. Once your sheet, feats, traits and spells (if applicable) are selected, speak with Lora to re-enter the world. This skips the Shelving Process.
 When deleting your character your inventory will be deleted.

==Shelving==
[[File:Shelf.png|250px|thumb|The Shelfing NPC. Do not interact with this until staff tell you to in your reroll ticket.]]

When and '''only when''' staff inform you, do you go through with the shelving process in the spawn room at the shelf otherwise you may be shelved improperly. Once you have shelved the character using the NPC you will need to rename yourself with Bobby. Once your sheet, feats, traits and spells (if applicable) are selected, speak with Lora to re-enter the world. This skips the Deletion Process.

There are ''2 shelf slots'' and ''1 active slot''.
 All house mod items are shelved with your character. All other inventory items will be deleted.

==Unshelving==
Once you are finished with either deleting or shelving your character, you will be marked without an active Character. On the [[https://avardon.com/account Avardon]] website you will have a list of your characters, and you will need to change the character's name to match in game with Bobby (Renamer). Once that matches you may interact with the Shelf to load your previous sheet and items.

'''Where wishing fails, ancient magic can offer a heart’s desire—at least, for a time. Hexbloods are individuals infused with eldritch magic, fey energy, or mysterious witchcraft. Some who enter into bargains with hags gain their deepest wishes but eventually find themselves transformed. These changes evidence a hag’s influence: ears that split in forked points, skin in lurid shades, long hair that regrows if cut, and an irremovable living crown. Along with these marks, hexbloods manifest hag-like traits, such as darkvision, and a variety of magical methods to beguile the senses and avoid the same.

While many hexbloods gain their lineage after making a deal with a hag, others reveal their nature as they age—particularly if a hag influenced them early in life or even before their birth. Many hexbloods turn to lives of adventure, seeking to discover the mysteries of their magic, to forge a connection with their fey natures, or to avoid a hag that obsesses over them.'''

wip
== Summary ==
[[Katalin_de_Brasov|Katalin de Brasov's]] ambitions lie in the means of production. Resource, goods, and coin must flow. There is no prosperity without trade, after all, and one must answer to the '''Gilded Hand''', in one form or fashion, for any venture. Artisans, laborers, and merchants; most major productivity ultimately winds up in a Gilded ledger. These lands were prosperous once, and Katalin is determined to rebuild the means of resource extraction, production, and commerce that saw Avardon prosper in the past. Those that try to skirt the '''Gilded Hand's''' rules, enforcement, dues, or forego their protections or standards see the '''Gilded Hand''' become an iron fist courtesy of well-funded and well-equipped mercenaries. The '''Gilded Hand''' is thereby a loosely organized collection of common interests and remains the only hope most will ever have of rising above the station of their birth. For better and for worse, competence and ruthlessness are rewarded in equal measure.

== History ==

== Organization ==
Laborers who pull resources from or till the earth answer to one of many syndicates. In turn, those artisans who refine those goods typically belong to one of the myriad guilds. Merchants and logisticians are often agents of one of the counting houses. This system is enforced and protected by professional men-at-arms.

== Locations ==
Their operations are being led from a library in the jungle ruins.

'''Whether calling on the elemental forces of nature or emulating the creatures of the animal world, druids are an embodiment of nature's resilience, cunning, and fury. They claim no mastery over nature, but see themselves as extensions of nature's indomitable will.'''

=== Roleplaying Guide ===
Druids are aligned with the natural world and to some degree distance themselves from that which civilisation has wrought. They make a conscious choice to wear materials and garments that reflect their connection to the natural world, such as leather, bone, hide wood and other natural materials. Druids do not wear metal such as armour, nor do they use shields made of metal. Though for practical reasons druids may wear small metal items such as buckles or small items of jewellery like necklaces.

On Avardon, players are expected to correctly depict their characters as per the Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms lore. Wearing metal armour or using a metal shield is considered a breach of our rules regarding character depiction.

== Class Features ==

==='''Proficiencies'''===
* Shields
* Light Armor*
* Medium Armor*
* Clubs
* Daggers
* Javelins
* Maces
* Quarterstaves
* Sickles
* Scimitars
* Spears
* '''*Note: Druids are unable to use armour made of metal materials as it interferes with their magic ability.'''

=== Starting Gear ===
* Quarterstaff

===Extra Language===
Druidic

===Spellcasting Ability===
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus
Spell attack modifier = Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus

You may memorize 14 spells and 4 cantrips to call upon from the [[Druid Spell List]].

=== Prepared Caster ===
As a prepared caster you may change your spells using only profession energy.

=== [[Wild Shape]] ===
At the cost of an action, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast. You can use this feature twice, and you regain expended uses when you take a Long or Short Rest.

====Wild Shape: Wolf====
 45 HP
 Wolf Bite: 5+3d6 Piercing damage, +9 to hit
 Inciting Howl: Each ally within 3 tiles radius can move an additional 1 tile during their next turn.

====Wild Shape: Bear====
 60 HP
 Bear Claws: 6+3d4 Slashing damage, +9 to hit

====Wild Shape: Panther====
 40 HP
 Panther Bite: 4+4d6 Piercing damage, +9 to hit
 Enhanced Jump: Jump up to 4 tiles without using movement.

==== Roleplaying in Wild Shape ====
Druids have a unique and deep connection to the natural and untamed world that few others may even attempt to understand. Their powers derive from this bond and as such they have an innate respect for untamed wildlife which forms the foundation for their ability to Wild Shape.

On Avardon, we expect players to properly reflect this deep and respectful bond. This means that a druid would not ever use their Wild Shape ability in a manner that demeans the untamed wildlife whose form they take.

'''Druids do not in any situation act as domestic animals or pets. Engaging in such behaviour is considered a breach of our rules regarding character depiction.'''

=== [[Lesser Wound Regeneration]] ===
At the cost of a Level 2 Spell Slot, you may recover 3 Wounds. You may upcast this using higher level Spell Slots to heal a further 1 Wound per Spell Slot Level.

The Wardens

2026-07-17T18:37:39Z

Bulltrup: more hyperlink count farks

== Summary ==
'''The Wardens''' are a faction headed by '''Viscount Levan Borgar''', a minor noble who garnered greater attention when he began courting '''Ilona de Brasov''', Count Farkas' eldest daughter. This faction operates as a military organization where '''Borgar''' is the lead, holding the title of '''Grand Marshall''', though it is widely debated just how influential Ilona is in decisions made by the order. Regardless, the organization is a powerful one, having the largest standing army in the realm, and having '''Borgar''' as lead, who has already shown himself to be an excellent commander and strategist.

== History ==
Their name, '''The Wardens''', is short-hand for a name borrowed from near-ancient history. Avardon natives will know the tale of the '''Wardens of the Willow''', an ancient military and religious order that was founded by the man who settled the country's mainland from savages and monsters; an ancestor of the '''de Brasov''' family and a heroic, near-messianic, figure to loyal countrymen. Though they have borrowed the name, there is little connection between the modern-day '''Wardens''' and their historical counterparts, making a split in belief where some feel the faction to be the return of an old order and a reason to hope, but others believe it to be armored thugs disrespecting the memory of old heroes.

Regardless of such scandals, '''The Wardens''' gained quite a bit of sympathy when those hiding behind '''Livarun'''<nowiki/>'s walls dared to trek into the open wilderness and attempt to resettle the surrounding areas. It was bands of the newly-organized Wardens that acted as spear-heads, which engaged monster, beast, or bandit, and cleared much of the farmlands surrounding '''Livarun''' and beyond. In years to come, the Wardens were able to settle the central lands, the viscounty that just so happened to belong to their '''Grand Marshall''', '''Viscount Borgar'''. On the ruin of the old '''Borgar''' family fort was their headquarters built, and the faction has operated from behind its walls ever since.

== Organization ==
Despite having dropped any focus on religion and replaced it with a duty to resettle and perhaps save Avardon, the Wardens still organize themselves like a religious order. There are three divisions members are placed in. By order of seniority, these divisions are '''Officers''', '''Knights''', and '''Auxiliaries''':

* Leading the '''Officers''', and the order as a whole, is the '''Grand Marshall'''. Beneath that rank is the '''Seneschal''', the leader's right-hand man. There are several honorary or duty-specific ranks in-between, but the most notable below this is the '''Prior''', who acts as the link between the '''Officers''' and the '''Knights'''.
* Leading the '''Knights''' is the '''Knight Commander''', who reports to the Prior. Under that rank is the '''Knight Major''', who acts as the '''Commander'''<nowiki/>'s right-hand man. Below these two are all the '''Knight Captains''', who operate their own 'lances' of knights. Lances tend to be between ten and twenty knights, not including supporting '''Auxiliaries''', and can attach to other lances to form companies.
* The '''Auxiliaries''' are something of a special division, as an auxiliary can be anything from a hired soldier to a camp follower. '''Knight Captains''' are given the freedom, and a very low sum, to hire any assistance they feel appropriate. This can mean hiring mercenaries when numbers are needing reinforcement, or taking on healers after a defeat. The '''Commander''' is known to hold '''Captains''' responsible for anything Auxiliaries do, so one can expect heavy scrutiny when being considered.

== Locations ==

* Desert Castle; the castle in the central desert, probably their HQ.

== Notable Figures ==

* '''Levan Borgar'''; Grand Marshall of the Wardens and Viscount of the central territories.
* '''[[Ilona_de_Brasov|Ilona de Brasov]]'''; eldest daughter and heiress of [[Count Farkas]], and known lover of Viscount Borgar.
* '''Malkolm Kossutt'''; Seneschal of the Wardens and explicit loyalist of the Grand Marshall.
* '''Bertalan Telzki'''; the Prior, a once-knight, and perhaps the oldest member of the Wardens.
* '''Artur Kossutt'''; the recently-appointed Knight Commander, after his predecessor died.

=== Bonks has compiled a wonderful guide from her own personal experience as a new player on the server. Brought to the wiki, this is Bonks' Declassified Server Survival Guide! ===
Disclaimer: Make sure to check the rules to make sure nothing contradicts.

==== How do I get professions? ====

* Talk to the NPC in the Library in the Town Hub, and spend a Profession Energy to get your first five levels in the profession (Ten if you're Fast Learner trait)

==== How do I craft? ====

* Once you have a crafting profession, Hit Tab to open up inventory. At the bar at the top is the Crafting tab. Click that. Crafting professions are accessed through there. Select the item you can and want to craft, and click 'Prepare Materials' on the right. The materials for the item will be consumed, and you'll get an Unfinished Product in your inventory. Put that on your hotbar and use it. Crafting consumes a Profession Energy and makes a crafting roll on the Product. Some might take more than one attempt to finish crafting.

==== How do I gather (Mining)? ====

* Once you have your gathering profession (Mining), go to the marked Mine on the west side of the map. Enter the mine, find glowing rocks, mouse over them to see the type of resource, and hit E on them to gather from them for one profession energy

[[File:Profsmap (Custom).png|thumb|645x645px]]

==== How do I gather (Not Mining)? ====

* Once you have your gathering profession, go to the relevant nodes marked on the map. When you're in the general area, hit Shift+R to open RPR abilities and find the Economy section for the gathering ability. [[https://avardon.com/map Avardon Interactive Map]]

==== Do gathering nodes of the same type give different items or pull from the same table? ====

* Pull from the same table. Herbs can give any of the herbs. Mushrooms can give any of the mushroom. Iron ore gives Iron ore.

==== How does restoring Profession Energy work? ====

* Every twenty hours, Profession Energy is restored by two points (Non-commoner) or four points (commoner class) . The server checks usually within 30 minutes of when you get online for how long it has been since the last daily Economy Reset that you gained profession energy from, and then restores your energy appropriately. It can restore up to three days worth of energy, so you don't need to have logged in every day. It will also only restore energy you have room for. So if it has been three days, and you log in, but you have 1/6 profession energy, you'll need to use that one before it will restore the 6 you would normally get from three days of resets.

==== How does PVP start? ====

* The Roll Initiative or Roll Initiative (Spar). Select all those involved, and it will roll initiative for all of them.

===== What's the diff- =====

* Roll Initiative (Spar) starts a spar. Spars are (supposed) to restore any health lost or spellslots or class resources expended during the spar, so that all return to how they were before the fight. Roll Initiative (The normal one) starts a standard PVP. In a standard PVP, for every 10% of your health you lose in a battle rounded down, you accrue 1 wound after exiting combat despite winning or losing. The loser of the PVP will have the Awaiting Consequences status after exiting combat.

==== How do you do Consequences? ====

* Hold E on the other player and select Avardon RP to open the Consequence rules. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the [[Consequences|Consqeuence rules here.]]

==== How do wounds work? ====

* As mentioned above, you gain 1 wound per 10% HP lost. This means a lost fight should give you 10 wounds. If you have any form of healing or self-healing, this can end up giving you extra wounds, with a cap of 15 wounds gainable from HP loss in combat only. A consequence from the page above can then leave you with even more wounds. At ten wounds, you are down -10 HP, and -1 to all saves. At 20 wounds total, it is max healthed reduces by 20 HP, with a -2 to all saves. So on and so forth.

==== Can I get wounds healed? ====

* Yes! Wounds can be healed by a number of spells and abilities. Primarily, Life Clerics and Divine Souls are the best wound healers without profession investment... and Chirurgery (Profession) has several wound healing abilities. You also heal 1d4 Wounds on a Long Rest, and can only have up to 10 wounds healed from other sources per long rest.

==== How does hiding in combat work? ====
Please see the [[Combat Rulings]] or [[Hide]] pages for more information:

Any character may hide on their turn as long as no hostile creature can see them. Rogues can hide using a bonus action.

The following is checked automatically:
* If the character is inside Heavily Obscured area (Cloudkill, Darkness, Fog Cloud, Hunger of Hadar), they can hide.
* If the character is invisible, they can hide.
* If the character is hidden behind an obstacle (out of Line of Sight of all non-defeated, non-blinded, hostile creatures), they can hide.

In all other cases, the character may not hide.

Foes may use Spot free action only on their turn to reveal a character they can see.
That means that inside Heavily Obscured areas, or if you are Blinded, or if they are Invisible, you cannot use the Spot ability.

==== Where do I get invisible weapons? ====

* Weapon Runes actually also function as invisible weapons!

==== What are the chat commands for emoting? ====

* /me adds character name at the beginning: Bonks made this wonderful guide!
* /do adds it at the end; This wonderful survival guide was made by Bonks!
* /tell does not include character name. "The sound of a giant space hamster 'pon the iron wheel doth herald our shared dream."

== Miscellaneous, Errata, and FAQ! ==

==== Can players tweak their character appearance after whitelisting? ====

* To a point! Character height should not change. Minor tweaks are fine otherwise, hair, warpaints, scars, makeup, and the like may be changed freely! Proportions may be tweaked to an extent ( we're all familiar with clipping demons! ) but for significant alterations, please open a ticket and provide before-and-after screenshots at the height board again!

==== On the tabletop, characters who are reduced to 0 hit points can be revived with any healing. Is that the case here? ====

* Nope, if you get to 0 HP in a fight (unless Death Ward or similar) then you're out. Once it gives you Defeated above your head, you can't continue in that fight, you are defeated.

==== Do Swords bards get Shields? ====

* No. Valor bards, do, however!

==== Does Savage Attacker apply only to the weapon's die or dice, and not any riders or effects like Sneak Attack? ====

* Yes, only weapon's dice!

==== Question: Does a successful sneak / stealth confer advantage in combat? ====

* They get +10 to initiative roll automatically when hiding and not spotted.

==== Do buffs or concentration spells persist when druids shapeshift? ====

* Yes, they do, as in source material! However, once shapeshifted, you will be unable to cast spells. If you lose concentration, you won't be able to cast it again until you're two-footed again!

==== What are the rules governing Disguise Self? ====

* You must follow the rules of the disguise self spell. When it doubt, check the source material limitations! You can whip up whatever you like as long as you follow the instructions of the spell! You cannot change what your disguise is mid-spell, for example. You can have one disguise Monday, and another for Chewsday. You do not need to register your disguises with staff!

==== Can observers declare PvP intent on one another? ====

* No, Once a PvP intent has been declared, all those not leaving the radius are Observing. No more players may enter the lock. No size of any group in combat may exceed 5. The total cap for any PvP is always 10 players.

====== What about Attacks of Opportunity in Darkness, or when Blinded? ======

* Melee attacks of opportunity can be attempted even without the ability to see; however, this will be automatically disadvantaged!

* You must follow the rules of the disguise self spell. When it doubt, check the source material limitations! You can whip up whatever you like as long as you follow the instructions of the spell! You cannot change what your disguise is mid-spell, for example. You can have one disguise Monday, and another for Chewsday. You do not need to register your disguises with staff!

==== Can observers declare PvP intent on one another? ====

* Once a PvP intent has been declared, all those not leaving the radius are Observing. No more players may enter the lock. In the case of a 5v5 and a 5v1, the 5v1 would be limited to the lightest level of cons, as an example.

====== What about Attacks of Opportunity in Darkness, or when Blinded? ======

* Melee attacks of opportunity can be attempted even without the ability to see; however, this will be automatically disadvantaged!

Disguise Self

You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Weapons can only take on the illusion of similar weapons; a one handed sword cannot take on the appearance of something other than a one-handed sword, for example. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC using the Inspect ability. A failed Inspect roll will apply a global 20 minute cooldown, causing any follow-up attempts at discerning that you are disguised to fail automatically.

Note: You can only assume a form of a playable race on Avardon and you may not impersonate other characters.

Consequences

2026-07-02T03:38:10Z

Bulltrup: maim sublink

== Minor Consequences ==
Minor consequences are mechanical consequences that may be applied at any time.

* '''Petty Theft''' - You may rob the target of up to 20 silver coins.
* '''Beating''' - Equivalent of throwing in some additional punches or kicks to the defeated. Dealing 1d4 wounds.

== Major Consequences ==
Major consequences are mechanical consequences that may only be applied if the winning party had at max +1 advantage in numbers (i.e. in 1v1 or 3v2, but not in 3v1 or 6v3).

* '''Theft''' - You may rob the target of up to 50 silver coins.
* '''Battering''' - Equivalent of dealing some heavy blows to the defeated with intention to seriously harm. Dealing 2d8 wounds.
* '''Blood Letting''' - Filling a vial with blood of the defeated. Dealing 2 wounds and Bloodless condition for 8 hours.

== Escalated Consequences ==
Escalated consequences are mechanical consequences that may only be applied if the previous level of escalated consequence was already applied at least once by one of the victors against the defeated or by the defeated on one of the victors in previous fights (and at least one major consequence has to precede even the first escalated one) while also fulfilling the conditions for a major consequence.

Keep in mind that some of these consequences are drastic in nature and shall not be roleplayed in graphical detail without consent of everyone present in the scene. Use ''fade-to-black'' (FTB) when needed.

Escalated consequences are divided into levels, which must occur sequentially between the two parties over multiple instances of combat.

These levels are:
# '''Grievous Harm''' - Very serious beating of the defeated, leaving them severely injured. Dealing 5d6 wounds.
# '''Permanent Injury''' or '''Curse'''
#* '''Maiming''' - Mutilation, or disabling of a limb or an eye. Causing permanent [[Status_Effects#Maims|Maimed status]]. The victim has the right to choose disabling over removal. The victim will also get a Bloody Bundle item, that has to be handed over to the victor if requested. [[maims|More information on healing maims]]
#* '''Hexing''' - Putting the victim under one of available [[Curses]] (Work in progress, currently unavailable).
# '''Life Threatening Injury''' - Seriously harming the defeated, leaving them to possibly die (they won't, but the victors show intention of leaving them to fate). Dealing 10d6+10 wounds.
# '''Execution''' - ''Character Kill'' (CK), end of story. Only possible with staff approval after having proven escalations from both sides, or when the victim repeatedly showed signs of ''No Value of Life'' (NVL) when other escalated consequences were enacted.

'''''Example:''' To be able to apply Maim (2nd Level) to a character, I must have previously used Grievous Harm (1st Level) on that character in one of our past encounters or my target must have done that to me. Even prior to the first escalated consequence, one of us must have applied a major consequence on the other.''

== Consented Consequences ==
Consented consequences are non-mechanical consequences that may be applied only if the losing party actively consents to such consequences.

This can be any roleplay consequence as long as the losing party actively consents.
Most common example would be holding the losing party hostage or interrogating them.
Keep in mind that consent can be withdrawn at any time, which ends the scene.

== Free Consequences ==
These consequences may be applied by the winning party and do not prevent another consequence from being applied.

* '''Unmasking''' - Removing an item of clothing, helmet, mask or other similar garment or item that obscures the face of the defeated character.

'''Whether calling on the elemental forces of nature or emulating the creatures of the animal world, druids are an embodiment of nature's resilience, cunning, and fury. They claim no mastery over nature, but see themselves as extensions of nature's indomitable will.'''

=== Roleplaying Guide ===
Druids are aligned with the natural world and to some degree distance themselves from that which civilisation has wrought. They make a conscious choice to wear materials and garments that reflect their connection to the natural world, such as leather, bone, hide wood and other natural materials. Druids do not wear metal such as armour, nor do they use shields made of metal. Though for practical reasons druids may wear small metal items such as buckles or small items of jewellery like necklaces.

On Avardon, players are expected to correctly depict their characters as per the Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms lore. Wearing metal armour or using a metal shield is considered a breach of our rules regarding character depiction.

* Javelins

* Quarterstaves

* Scimitars
* Spears
* '''*Note: Druids are unable to use armour made of metal materials as it interferes with their magic ability.'''

=== Starting Gear ===
* Quarterstaff

===Extra Language===
Druidic

===Spellcasting Ability===
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus
Spell attack modifier = Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus

You may memorize 14 spells and 4 cantrips to call upon from the [[Druid Spell List]].

=== Prepared Caster ===
As a prepared caster you may change your spells using only profession energy.

=== [[Wild Shape]] ===
At the cost of an action, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast. You can use this feature twice, and you regain expended uses when you take a Long or Short Rest.

Wild Shape: Wolf

Wild Shape: Bear

Wild Shape: Panther

==== Roleplaying in Wild Shape ====
Druids have a unique and deep connection to the natural and untamed world that few others may even attempt to understand. Their powers derive from this bond and as such they have an innate respect for untamed wildlife which forms the foundation for their ability to Wild Shape.

On Avardon, we expect players to properly reflect this deep and respectful bond. This means that a druid would not ever use their Wild Shape ability in a manner that demeans the untamed wildlife whose form they take.

Storm Sorcery

2026-06-19T02:08:29Z

Bulltrup: /* Class Features */

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Sorcerer]] sub-class available on Avardon.

Your innate magic comes from the power of elemental air. Many with this power can trace their magic back to a near-death experience caused by the Great Rain, but perhaps you were born during a howling gale so powerful that folk still tell stories of it, or your lineage might include the influence of potent air creatures such as vaati or djinn. Whatever the case, the magic of the storm permeates your being.

Storm sorcerers are invaluable members of a ship's crew. Their magic allows them to exert control over wind and weather in their immediate area. Their abilities also prove useful in repelling attacks by sahuagin, pirates, and other waterborne threats.

* You might be from a crew that got into a storm during wich you tragically got taken by the mist.

* You might seek out high mountains and stormy coasts to be more attuned to your heritage.

* Maybe you use your powers to help people with foretelling the weather or saving the harvest by averting forces of nature.

== Class Features ==
=== Heart of the Storm ===
You gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage.
=== Tempestuous Magic ===
You can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you. After casting a leveled spell you may use your bonus action to fly without receiving attacks of opportunity.

Bonk's Survival Guide

2026-06-17T22:32:23Z

Bulltrup: /* How does hiding in combat work? */ edited due to hide changes

[[File:BonksDeclassified.png|thumb|353x353px|Image courtesy of The Changer of Ways!]]

=== Bonks has compiled a wonderful guide from her own personal experience as a new player on the server. Brought to the wiki, this is Bonks' Declassified Server Survival Guide! ===

==== How do I get professions? ====

* Talk to the NPC in the Library in the Town Hub, and spend a Profession Energy to get your first five levels in the profession (Ten if you're Fast Learner trait)

==== How do I craft? ====

* Once you have a crafting profession, Hit Tab to open up inventory. At the bar at the top is the Crafting tab. Click that. Crafting professions are accessed through there. Select the item you can and want to craft, and click 'Prepare Materials' on the right. The materials for the item will be consumed, and you'll get an Unfinished Product in your inventory. Put that on your hotbar and use it. Crafting consumes a Profession Energy and makes a crafting roll on the Product. Some might take more than one attempt to finish crafting.

==== How do I gather (Mining)? ====

* Once you have your gathering profession (Mining), go to the marked Mine on the west side of the map. Enter the mine, find glowing rocks, mouse over them to see the type of resource, and hit E on them to gather from them for one profession energy

[[File:Profsmap (Custom).png|thumb|645x645px]]

==== How do I gather (Not Mining)? ====

* Once you have your gathering profession, go to the relevant nodes marked on the map. When you're in the general area, hit Shift+R to open RPR abilities and find the Economy section for the gathering ability. [[https://avardon.com/map Avardon Interactive Map]]

==== Do gathering nodes of the same type give different items or pull from the same table? ====

* Pull from the same table. Herbs can give any of the herbs. Mushrooms can give any of the mushroom. Iron ore gives Iron ore.

==== How does restoring Profession Energy work? ====

* Every twenty hours, Profession Energy is restored by two points (Non-commoner) or four points (commoner class) . The server checks usually within 30 minutes of when you get online for how long it has been since the last daily Economy Reset that you gained profession energy from, and then restores your energy appropriately. It can restore up to three days worth of energy, so you don't need to have logged in every day. It will also only restore energy you have room for. So if it has been three days, and you log in, but you have 1/6 profession energy, you'll need to use that one before it will restore the 6 you would normally get from three days of resets.

==== How does PVP start? ====

* The Roll Initiative or Roll Initiative (Spar). Select all those involved, and it will roll initiative for all of them.

===== What's the diff- =====

* Roll Initiative (Spar) starts a spar. Spars are (supposed) to restore any health lost or spellslots or class resources expended during the spar, so that all return to how they were before the fight. Roll Initiative (The normal one) starts a standard PVP. In a standard PVP, every 10 HP lost by either side will become 1 wound per 10 HP at the end of combat. The loser of the PVP will have the Awaiting Consequences status after exiting combat.

==== How do you do Consequences? ====

* Hold E on the other player and select Avardon RP to open the Consequence rules. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the [[Consequences|Consqeuence rules here.]]

==== How do wounds work? ====

* As mentioned above, you gain 1 wound per 10% HP lost. This means a lost fight should give you 10 wounds. If you have any form of healing or self-healing, this can end up giving you extra wounds, with a cap of 15 wounds gainable from HP loss in combat only. A consequence from the page above can then leave you with even more wounds. At ten wounds, you are down -10 HP, and -1 to all saves. At 20 wounds total, it is max healthed reduces by 20 HP, with a -2 to all saves. So on and so forth.

==== Can I get wounds healed? ====

* Yes! Wounds can be healed by a number of spells and abilities. Primarily, Life Clerics and Divine Souls are the best wound healers without profession investment... and Chirurgery (Profession) has several wound healing abilities. You also heal 1d4 Wounds on a Long Rest, and can only have up to 10 wounds healed from other sources per long rest.

==== How does hiding in combat work? ====
Please see the [[Combat Rulings]] or [[Hide]] pages for more information:

Any character may hide on their turn as long as no hostile creature can see them. Rogues can hide using a bonus action.

The following is checked automatically:
* If the character is inside Heavily Obscured area (Cloudkill, Darkness, Fog Cloud, Hunger of Hadar), they can hide.
* If the character is invisible, they can hide.
* If the character is hidden behind an obstacle (out of Line of Sight of all non-defeated, non-blinded, hostile creatures), they can hide.

In all other cases, the character may not hide.

Foes may use Spot free action only on their turn to reveal a character they can see.
That means that inside Heavily Obscured areas, or if you are Blinded, or if they are Invisible, you cannot use the Spot ability.

==== Where do I get invisible weapons? ====

* Weapon Runes actually also function as invisible weapons!

==== What are the chat commands for emoting? ====

* /me adds character name at the beginning: Bonks made this wonderful guide!
* /do adds it at the end; This wonderful survival guide was made by Bonks!
* /tell does not include character name. "The sound of a giant space hamster 'pon the iron wheel doth herald our shared dream."

== Miscellaneous, Errata, and FAQ! ==

==== Can players tweak their character appearance after whitelisting? ====

* To a point! Character height should not change. Minor tweaks are fine otherwise, hair, warpaints, scars, makeup, and the like may be changed freely! Proportions may be tweaked to an extent ( we're all familiar with clipping demons! ) but for significant alterations, please open a ticket and provide before-and-after screenshots at the height board again!

==== On the tabletop, characters who are reduced to 0 hit points can be revived with any healing. Is that the case here? ====

* Nope, if you get to 0 HP in a fight (unless Death Ward or similar) then you're out. Once it gives you Defeated above your head, you can't continue in that fight, you are defeated.

==== Do Swords bards get Shields? ====

* No. Valor bards, do, however!

==== Does Savage Attacker apply only to the weapon's die or dice, and not any riders or effects like Sneak Attack? ====

* Yes, only weapon's dice!

==== Question: Does a successful sneak / stealth confer advantage in combat? ====

* They get +10 to initiative roll automatically when hiding and not spotted.

==== Do buffs or concentration spells persist when druids shapeshift? ====

* Yes, they do, as in source material! However, once shapeshifted, you will be unable to cast spells. If you lose concentration, you won't be able to cast it again until you're two-footed again!

==== What are the rules governing Disguise Self? ====

* You must follow the rules of the disguise self spell. When it doubt, check the source material limitations! You can whip up whatever you like as long as you follow the instructions of the spell! You cannot change what your disguise is mid-spell, for example. You can have one disguise Monday, and another for Chewsday. You do not need to register your disguises with staff!

==== Can observers declare PvP intent on one another? ====

* Once a PvP intent has been declared, all those not leaving the radius are Observing. No more players may enter the lock. Observers within the lock may initiate additional instances of PvP with other observers in that lock. These instances can not interact with one another, both instances must fully resolve and characters move on independently of one another. In the case of a 5v5 and a 5v1, the 5v1 would be limited to the lightest level of cons, as an example.

====== What about Attacks of Opportunity in Darkness, or when Blinded? ======

* Melee attacks of opportunity can be attempted even without the ability to see; however, this will be automatically disadvantaged!

Combat Rulings

2026-06-17T22:30:10Z

Bulltrup: /* Hiding */

This is a collection of various rulings and clarifications regarding combat encounters. It is an extension to the rules with more detailed and in-depth explanations to bring some light into niche situations that might arise.

=== Line of Sight ===
Some abilities such as ranged attacks, or spells that mention "point you can see" or "target you can see" in their description, require sight.

You cannot target character if:
* You don't see at least 50% of their body or the entirety of their head from your first person view.
* Selector (such as with Magic Missile or Eldritch Blast) doesn't let you use it due to missing Line of Sight.
* You are Blinded or have both of your eyes Maimed.
* There is an area effect that restricts vision in between you and the target or at least one of you stands in it without being able to see through with special abilities.
* The target is Invisible and you lack the ability to see invisible creatures.

Additionally, AoE spells that target a point cannot be placed into areas that limit visibility, such as area of Darkness. You may only target the edge of such area, as that's as far as you can see.

==== Crouching ====

Conan mechanical crouch or other animations may not be used to avoid Line of Sight. You can still use animations and poses during combat, just not in a way to restrict LoS or when there's a discussion whether someone has LoS. The visibility rules apply for a standing character. The only exception is being Prone, in which case you should have a suitable animation even for purposes of determining LoS.

=== Observers ===
When a player chooses to observe a fight (having been present for its declaration and using <code>/pvp observe</code>), they are basically communicating to the other players upfront that their character either doesn't want to be involved with either side of the combat, or they are too scared to fight, or for any other reason refuse to fight. Observers are IC, and they chose NOT to fight under any change of circumstance. If they could ever possibly have a reason to join the fight, they have to either join it as an participant at the very beginning of the encounter, or leave the scene entirely. They cannot join into an ongoing fight or participate in the consequence phase or engage in another fight with the winning or losing party after the fight is concluded.

Also keep in mind, that any participant of the fight may void your decision to observe and include you as a target of their intent even and especially if they were the party being subject to a PvP intent, as per rule C.1:
<blockquote>Everyone within the range of a PvP intent is locked into the scene unless they are not targeted by anyone else within the scene lock</blockquote>

=== Doors ===
No player shall interact with doors during combat outside of using the Interact ability in RPR.

It takes an action to lock/unlock a door, a bonus action to open/close it, and an action with DC 15 to breach it, after which it becomes unusable for the duration of combat.

Breaching of a door in combat (and only in combat) is done using Breaching or Lockpicking skill (whichever is higher) or using the Spellcasting modifier in case of casters (if higher than the skills).

=== Hiding ===
Players may [[Hide]] in combat as long as none of their foes have Line of Sight on them - this is checked automatically but good etiquette is expected in case it wouldn't work reliably in all cases.

To reveal a player that is hiding during combat, players may use the Spot free action '''on their turn''', if they see the target.

Players may follow hidden or invisible foes, they still know of their approximate location and it is not considered metagaming.

Cunning Action

2026-06-17T22:29:36Z

Bulltrup: hide

Your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage or [[Hide]] action.

'''Poised between the worlds of the living and the dead, dhampirs retain their grip on life yet are endlessly tested by vicious hungers. Their ties to the undead grant dhampirs a taste of a vampire’s deathless prowess in the form of increased speed, darkvision, and a life-draining bite.

This is an attack action.
