Respending

A "respend" is an administrative adjustment to your character's race, classes, skills, or actions. You are permitted to respend your character up to one time between each of your first four events. This requires the help of an administrator. If you only want to change one or two aspects of your character (e.g., your race, a skill, etc.), an email is fine. If you want a more global respend, the best way is to build an NPC with the same number of skill points as your original character, then request that an admin make the change.

Starting on your fourth event, you will only be allowed to respend under the following circumstances:

• Major Class or Race Shift. If a significant portion of a class or race is altered for game balance reasons, players with characters of that class or race will be allowed to respend if they wish. Note that the addition of new abilities to a class, without the removal of other abilities, does not constitute a major shift.
• Coming Off of Plot. Players who serve as plot members for a season or more are allowed a free global respend when they return to play. Additionally, former plot members may be permitted to respend using restricted character options.
• Availability of New Character Options to their Creators. When a new character option becomes available, players who contributed heavily to its creation may be given the opportunity to respend with the new option. Because the game is always evolving, however, the creation of new character options will not generally be considered a valid reason for others to respend.
• Plot Action. Certain plot lines naturally involve respending a character. A character may be magically transformed into another race, for example. In such cases, characters will be respent to coincide with the plot line.
• Physical Injury or Illness. Players who play combat-oriented characters and are unable to engage in boffer fighting due to temporary or permanent injury or illness are permitted to respend to a support-type character. Such players will most likely be required to wear an orange headband and remain out of combat.
• For Boon (Coming Soon). Players are permitted to selectively respend their characters for boon. The cost varies with the extent of the respend.
