FAQ
Welcome to Adhumlia! You might have some questions about how the site is run, and below you'll find some questions we think will be asked quite often. In order to prevent having to repeat ourselves too much, we've put those questions here. If you don't understand the answer or if you don't see your question here, feel free to ask a staff member.
Q: I'm not familiar with D&D. Can I still join?
A: Yes, you're more than welcome to join. While The Land of Adhumlia is based off D&D, it can be treated as an original fantasy RP.
Q: I don't want to participitate in the D&D side of the site. Do I have to fill out all the stats and numbers in the Character Profile?
A: No. If you don't want to participtate in the D&D side, you do not have to fill out the stats and numbers of the Character Profile as the stats are just a guideline in the general RP. However, the stats and numbers are vital to participitating in Events. If you choose not to fill out the stats and nimbers, you are not allowed to participitate in Events.
Q: I'm not familiar with D&D. Can someone help me fill out my Character Profile?
A: Absolutely! Most members of the site will happily help you. If not, you can ask a staff member. You can also ask for help if you're not sure about another player's character's abilities or if you're not sure why something happened during an event.
Q: I'm familiar with D&D and I have an awesome idea for a character, but his race/class isn't listed. Can I play him anyway?
A: No. At this time only races/classes that are listed are allowed to be played by members.
Q: I want my character to start at a higher level because he's really old and has lots of experience. Is that okay?
A: No. At this time all characters will start at level One.
Q: I have an idea for a character, but I need more gold to buy all his equipment. Can I have more than the starting amount?
A: Yes. First, you'll have to PM The DM with your completed Character Profile plus a list of all the required equipment and its total cost. The DM will either agree to let you have more or not. Then you may post your Character Profile. Once it is approved, your very first thread MUST be about how your character acquired their extra gold. Did they steal it? Get a loan from a bank? Inherit it from a rich dead uncle? Once that thread is complete, you MUST make a thread in which your character buys the extra equipment. However, magical items are extremely rare. You are allowed to buy them if you can afford them, but if you have to ask The DM for more gold to purchase one, it is very likely she'll say no.
Q: How do I get gold?
A: There are several ways you can get gold. Firstly, each character starts out with 500 gold. Secondly, you get 10 gold per post you make in an Event. If you still need more gold, the third option is to ask The DM. You will have to give her reasons why you need the gold as well as a list of what you intend to buy with it. Then you will have to RP your character getting the gold and buying the stuff.
Q: My character's a wizard and can craft magical items. Can I make anything I want?
A: If you can afford it, you are allowed to craft any magical item you wish, but you must purchase each ingredient that is needed to make it work. Then you must RP buying the ingredients and making the item. The same applies to spells and potions.
Q: The DM rejected my proposal for more gold. Why? Does she hate me?
A: No, The DM does not hate you. If she rejected your proposal for more gold. She had a good reason. Magical items and really good weapons are very rare in Adhumlia. As such, it should be very hard for your character to obtain them.
