			Monster players should never discuss rewards and ratings with the players they encounter. Do not ask them if they got a reward, do not ask them for a good rating, do not remind them of either, everything is handled by the system notifications already.

	=== 5. Staff Authority ===		=== 5. Usage of available tools ===
			Monster players may use the monster map, teleport, and other features and tools available to them only when playing a monster and only for the purposes of monster encounters. All usage is logged and any misuse will be punished severely beyond just revoking a monster slot.

			Many monsters come with descriptions or a set of instructions on how exactly they should be played. Monster players are expected to follow these instructions to help us ensure immersive experience for everyone.

			For some monsters it is suitable, allowed, and even expected that the monster players will edit the character design or even create their own. These designs have to fit the theme and looks of the specific monster. When in doubt, show us the design and have it approved.

 Monster slots allow players to step out of the usual roleplay and take on the role of a monster for other players to encounter.

-[ Work in progress ]
+The monster system exists to help promote a more dangerous and immersive world within [[Avardon]], contributing to the dreadful atmosphere of the setting. Monsters are encouraged to engage with players creatively; instilling dread and frightening players through both combat and non-combat encounters. Monster slots are a part of collaborative, cooperative storytelling and writing and should be fun for both the monster and other players in the encounter.
