This guide will walk players through every aspect of the system and explain how it should be used. | | Fables and Fantasy RP makes use of a system where items get Event team or Loremaster approval to authenticate items that have certain uses or meanings. This guide is meant to help you understand what the approval tags mean and how to use them. First things first, you need to understand which types of approval there are and what they mean. |
|
| |
|
| == Overview: == | | == Overview: == |
|
| |
|
| | Event Approval tags are made by Gamemasters. These approval tags are meant to show items that are obtained IC and through roleplay. That means these items are canon and can be displayed as such. Event Approved items are cosmetic items and do not have any direct impact on the world around them, so they cannot be used as weapons on their own. |
| | |
|
| |
|
| In roleplaying, you play a character. On the server, each character has a unique character card, bank account, inventory, and enderchest that are all linked to that particular character.
| | For example; you kill a spider and loot its fang. You might get an item with the Event Team Approval that this was indeed a spider fang salvaged this way. These fangs cannot be used themselves, however depending on the description you might change them. |
|
| |
|
| Each player is allowed a maximum of <u>two active character slots</u>, and a <u>maximum of three characters can be shelved at once.</u>
| | [[File:Char gender.jpg|thumb|none]] |
|
| |
|
| Tokens can be collected to purchase a rank to increase this number. To find out which ranks grant additional character slots, players can use the /tokenshop command. Additionally, if players boost the discord server, the maximum number of slots can also be increased by 1.
| | Loremaster approval tags are made by Loremasters. These approval tags are meant to show items are able to be used to affect the user or the world around them. That means these items are able to be used for special means outside of the norm. These effects will always have to be described on the item. |
|
| |
|
| Each character has their own bank account, inventory, and enderchest. <u>Keep in mind that it is against the rules to share items or money among your characters.</u>
| | For example; you have the spider fang from above and see it states there is strong poison inside. If you wish to utilize this poison you must extract it by requesting an event. The event team will then ask loremasters to help balance the poison and the loremaster will give a Loremaster approval tag. Now the item is ready for use. |
|
| |
|
| == Creating a character ==
| | [[File:Char gender.jpg|thumb|none]] |
|
| |
|
| When players first join the server, they are met with a chat message introducing the process of creating a character. Existing players must also use the following command if they want to create a new character:
| |
|
| |
|
| <code>/char new</code>
| | == So when do your items need approval? == |
|
| |
|
| Alternatively, the following command also works:
| | Most often, your items will not need any staff approval. Anything with custom lore that just describes the appearance of an item or foods and drinks that have no special effects to them do not need lore approval. Event team and loremaster approval tags are usually a way to authenticate items you got through RP. Such as severed heads, casting items, and objects obtained during events. |
|
| |
|
| <code>/newcharacter</code>
| |
| Instructions will follow in the chat, which the player must follow.
| |
|
| |
|
| Instructions will follow in the chat, which the player must follow.
| | Event team-approved items can not be requested without having done a proper event for them. If you hunt something, for instance, you can harvest the corpse for certain items, it is up to the gamemaster if those items can actually be harvested or not. Other small trinkets and relics can also be obtained from events and will have this tag. Once again, these items do not have much use except as trophies. |
|
| |
|
| After doing so, players will encounter instructions in the chat that will lead them through the character creation procedure. Players must type in the chat to answer the questions:
| |
|
| |
|
| Starting with their name:
| | Loremaster-approved items can be requested if the item in question has an effect on its user or the world and people around them. These items will only be approved if there’s a good reason for those items to have such effects. Such as the casting items of a mage character. Their magic stems from their catalyst, so when they insert their catalyst into a new item, it will get loremaster approval as a casting item. Similar items with special effects will have to get Loremaster approval before they can get used. Open up a lore request ticket for questions, it is up to the loremaster to say whether an item can or cannot be introduced into the server. |

| |
|
| |
|
| | == I have an item with a different approved tag, what does this mean? == |
|
| |
|
| Then the age of their character. To create an accurate age for their character, players should review the age requirements for the various races on the wiki.
| |
| [[File:Character age .jpg|thumb|432x432px|none]]
| |
|
| |
|
| | | It might be possible you find yourself in possession of an item with a different approval tag than what you saw before, such as the following: |
| Players can choose the following genders: female, male, and other:
| | [[File:Char gender.jpg|thumb|none]] |
| [[File:Char gender.jpg|thumb|none]] | | [[File:Char gender.jpg|thumb|none]] |
| | | Do note that items with these tags are outdated and no longer supported in the same way. So items with these approval tags do not have any canon worth when used in peculiar situations. If you do happen to own one of such items then open a lore ticket so you might get a replacement where needed. |
| | |
| The next step is for players to choose their race. Their relationships on the server, the racial bonuses they will receive, and the appearance of their character all depend on this. All details of this should be reviewed on the wiki.
| |
| [[File:Char race.jpg|thumb|none]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Following this, players must create a character description, which need not be as detailed as their biography for the whitelist application. A few words about their personality and appearance will suffice.
| |
| [[File:Char name.jpg|none|thumb|490x490px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Players’ performance during Combat Roleplay (CRP) will be influenced by the stat points they choose. For more information on stat points, visit the CRP rules page on the forums. To subtract points from a stat, players must click the - on the left, and to add points, click the + on the right.
| |
| [[File:Char stats.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| The player’s character is now ready for use after they’ve finished the procedure. Now is the time to discover Eden and all it has to offer. To get a summary of their current character, players must type <code>/card.</code>
| |
| | |
| == Character Information & Switching Characters ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| To see a list of their current characters, the player must do the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/char list</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| A list of the player’s characters will appear, along with their statuses:
| |
| [[File:Character list.jpg|none|thumb|436x436px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| To switch characters, the player must do the following command. In place of ‘Clarissa Reinhardt’, put your character’s full name:
| |
| | |
| <code>/characters [character name]</code>
| |
| | |
| == Character Card ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| A character card consists of the character’s name, age, gender, race, description, and stats for combat roleplay (CRP). These will all be selected during the character creation and some options can be changed later on.
| |
| | |
| To access a character’s information card, the player must do the following command. To view their own character card, the player must do the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/card</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| To view other players’ cards, the player must /card [character]. For example:
| |
| | |
| <code>/card [character name]</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Alternatively, players can shift+right click on a character to view their card.
| |
| [[File:Char info list.jpg|none|thumb|557x557px]]
| |
| | |
| == Changing character stats ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| The '''[E]''' buttons on the player's character card are accessible by typing the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/card</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| These buttons can be pressed to edit values on the character card. Note that the buttons appear gold if they are editable, dark gray if the user does not have permission to edit them, and black if the value is not editable at all.
| |
| | |
| To change a character’s stats, the player must click on the gold [E] button beside the stats:
| |
| [[File:Stats.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| A pop-up menu allowing the player to change their stats will appear:
| |
| [[File:Clara reinhardt stats menu.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| To add a point to one of the categories, the player must press the button next to the stat they wish to minus, and a [-] sign will appear:
| |
| [[File:Minus stats.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| To add a point to one of the categories, the player must press the button at the end of the row of the stat they wish to add, and a [+] sign will appear:
| |
| [[File:Plus stats.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| The purple amethyst shard will indicate how many stat points the player has available to use:
| |
| [[File:Stats menu shard.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Note that players must wait 30 days until they can change their stats again. If another change is attempted, the following message will appear:
| |
| [[File:Stats error.jpg|none|thumb|800x800px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| If a mistake is made when changing one’s stats, the player can make a lore request ticket in the [https://discord.com/invite/EbszuUeSGe Fables and Fantasy Support Discord.]
| |
| | |
| == Death, deletion, and shelving Characters ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| <u>A character can never be deleted; instead, it is marked as inactive.</u> This means that they are not playable and won't appear in menus like /characters.
| |
| | |
| There are three possible statuses for a character: ''active, dead, and shelved.'' The associated profile is marked as inactive when a character is either deleted or shelved. There is a big difference between shelving and killing characters described below.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Shelving a character''' means the character will be inactive for 3 weeks. Players will not be able to access the character for this time period. If players finish a story arc on one character and are getting bored of playing them, they might choose to shelf this character and put the character inactive.
| |
| | |
| Players must remember they have a maximum of 3 shelved characters they can have at once. If this time period has passed, and players have 1 active character slot open, they can unshelf the character and play it again.
| |
| | |
| To shelve a character, the player must do the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/char shelf [character name]</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| The following prompt will appear, asking the player to confirm their action:
| |
| [[File:Shelf character.jpg|none|thumb|442x442px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| After 3 weeks or more, to unshelve a character, the player must do the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/char unshelf [character name]</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| '''Killing a character''' means that the character is permanently dead. Except in unusual circumstances, players won't be able to access this character or their inventory any longer. Players will do this if their character dies IRP and they consent to a permanent kill.
| |
| | |
| To permanently kill a character, the player must do the following command. This is irreversible:
| |
| | |
| <code>/char kill [character name]</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| The following message will be displayed once the command has been entered. There is no confirmation for this command, so be careful that you are sure you wish to kill the character:
| |
| [[File:Kill char.jpg|none|thumb|400x400px]]
| |
| | |
| == Builder Profiles for the Plotworld ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| All players get a ‘builder’ profile, which allows them to access the plotworld.
| |
| | |
| To switch to your ‘builder’ profile, the player must do the following command:
| |
| | |
| <code>/characters</code>
| |
| | |
| | |
| The profile menu will appear, and the player must select the ‘builder’ profile:
| |
| [[File:Character menu.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''A side note: The command <code>/characters</code> is the main command used to access character-related commands, however, the command <code>/char become</code> can also be used.''
| |
| | |
| == Selecting a Human character’s race for the first time ==
| |
| | |
| Legacy players who have played human characters prior to the 3.0 update will be asked to choose a profile when they join the server. (In this example, I've chosen a human character):
| |
| [[File:Choosing profile.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| The chat will then explain that the human race has been split into 3 races, and a specific sub-race must be chosen for each of a player’s human characters:
| |
| | |
| | |
| Players must write ‘continue’ in the chat to proceed:
| |
| [[File:Continue.jpg|none|thumb|558x558px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| After writing ‘continue’ in the chat, players will be prompted with the following options:
| |
| [[File:Choosing human race.jpg|none|thumb]]
| |
| For this character, I chose the ‘Attian Human’ race. There are three Human race options: Attian, Hinterlander, and Khadan.
| |
| | |
| Players must select whichever race fits their Human character.
