Update 3.34
Greetings, OH Members:
Here is your introduction to our new Diamond Rank below. Remember that even for Diamond Rank, you must still abide by the Trait Point rules of not going over 12 with your rank-earned points. Diamond rank is not for everyone, you are not required at all to progress beyond Obsidian, it is an extra special rank for those who wish to truly exceed. A reputation requirement will be put into place as well, but I have not decided what that requirement will be. I am considering 40 or 50. And before anyone says that it will take forever to progress in Diamond, I know, and it was built that way on purpose. This was added to give those long-term players who want to continue to work towards something to progress through, to always have something else to gain. Diamond Skills will be added as they are developed, there are none available at this time.
→Diamond
You must have Epic Power to progress to the Diamond Tier. You also must earn every xp point on THAT character to gain and progress in Diamond, you cannot use deleted character's xp to gain or rank in Diamond. This shows IC-wise your character's progress.

DARK OMENS STORY ARC UPDATE
The undead dragon, Seddrinth the Blue, has been destroyed in the Thanes Desert. There are still two of the five Masters alive, Corda and Pedur. We will be facing off soon, and ending our Dark Omens story arc!
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to write a short story of at least 500 words about your character, it can be something that happened in the past, present or future. Here is your story starter:
--Your character desperately wants something that belongs to someone else. He feels that if he had this one thing, his life would be better. Without it, his life is miserable. What is the thing? Why does he want it so much? You decide. Your character develops a plan to get this thing for himself. What's the plan? But several obstacles block him. What are they? The situation is looking pretty bad for your character, but he decides to make one final last-ditch effort to get what he wants. This is the story climax. What is your character's final plan? What happens? Write the story. --
I'll give you 5XP and 1000gp for the character the story is written about, you can write a story for each of your characters and earn the XP. The subject line should, as always, read "Weekly Challenge". You may not turn this story in for anything except the weekly challenge, in other words do not send this to Becca for solo story XP!
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have an incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3,000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
