Mystara Alternate Character Rules

1. No child characters. Your PC must be of age.
2. No carrying children into battle, they'll die. End of.
3. You must be from the setting, we don't have dimensional travel.
4. No characters ripped from another fandom. Use your own imagination. Examples that show you're probably in the wrong:
   
   1. If you spend the majority of your time copy and pasting quotes from pre-written content.
   2. You've copied the likeness, mannerisms, facial features and personality of a pre-existing character you didn't write.
5. Characters related to another already existing PC must be cleared with the OC.
6. Relation to major NPC's must be cleared with the DM's / Admins first
7. Your PC must have a balanced personality. Flaws and skills.
8. You cannot roleplay as someone else and assign them emotes.
9. Do not emote your thoughts. Other PC's are not mind readers. 
10. Be sensible with your character combinations and be prepared to play them as they are.
    
    1. An orc is an orc, not just a tall buff human.
       
    2. A paladin is a deified champion of faith, not just a glowy fighter
11. Make sure you know the background of the legacy you chose. 
12. Be prepared to play your class in Roleplay. Examples:
    1. Clerics and Paladins need to represent a deity to channel power.
    2. Low intellect characters will struggle with long words and comprehension of conversation
    3. Expect to need the following skill to win rolls: Intimidate, Persuade, Bluff
    4. Have the roleplay skills to match your rolls. If you're bad at insulting or arguing, don't expect your Intimidate modifier to do all the work. 
    5. Note: Charisma and physical attractiveness are not the same thing. 
    
    

Lastly, if in doubt: ask for advice and assistance. You don't want to be in a position to have an inappropriate character deleted.
