Update 2.36
Greetings, OH Members:
We've added a good number of skills, so please if you are any of the professions we've listed below be sure you look to see what new goodies are available to you. It's been a very long weekend for me, so I'm going to leave this short and sweet - have a good week!
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (ashtonlocke) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Question: I want to craft poisons, how do I go about doing this?
Answer: First, you need to take the Alchemy skill. Once that is taken you need yet another skill called Poisonmaking and Use. There is a separate section on all the various poisons we allow in our game, which you will use to craft. If you wish to craft even more potent poisons there are several more skills you can take such as Greater Poisonmaking. All crafting goes by the same basic rules, which is that whatever basic cost you have, crafters pay 1/4 of that cost to craft plus crafting points. You get CP every Sunday by letting ashtonlocke know you wish to add it.
RECRUITING CONTEST
It's that time again, a "Back to School" Recruiting Contest! It is never a bad thing to try to bring in new players. They bring in new ideas, new twists and storylines and new blood to the game!
Indeed, there will be prizes, but as always, this is not for recruiting current player's new characters, this is for bringing in new PLAYERS to the game! And please bear in mind, recruiting players that do all the work of sending in an application only to never show their face again does nothing for our game, so for this contest I will not count a person as recruited for this contest until they attend their first QUEST run by an official DM! You will still get your 10XP per recruit though (not including your own new characters or current player's characters). If there is a tie (such as several people all recruit 1) I will roll dice to see who gets first, second and third place.
First Place - 20XP to Any Character, 10,000gp, 2 Reputation Points
Second Place - 15XP to Any Character, 5,000gp, 1 Reputation Point
Third Place - 10XP to Any Character, 3,000gp, .5 Reputation Point
You don't have to sit in a boring stuffy recruit hall to recruit! The best recruiting comes from just roleplaying in public, and having people wander in and ask questions. Open up some of our chats, and if you WANT you can open up a recruit chat!
Here's just a few places you could open in and around Navahla and the OH Inne:
Arts and Entertainment - Obsidian Heart Inne
Arts and Entertainment - OH Pincer Lake
Arts and Entertainment - OH Navahla Market
Arts and Entertainment - OH Amelia Park
Arts and Entertainment - OH Archgate Library
Arts and Entertainment - OH Knifedge Arena
We also have an incentive to new characters starting during this contest.
All new characters start at 35XP, and 3,000gp. This allows a new character to start at Topaz Adept (2d32), giving them 10 trait points, 5 Crystal skills, 3 Topaz skills and a Class & Profession.

UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
--1. SPELLS PER DAY / PER ADVENTURE
One more tweak to spells per day, per adventure. You may add your INT bonus to both numbers.
--2. KINGDOM LANGUAGES
If you chose a kingdom or land you were born and raised in on Arith, you get that language free... so for instance if your backstory has you from Alzorc, you get Zorcan for a free language. This is just a perk for choosing to play characters based on our world and not "offworld".
