How about cheesing, faking or pretending.... is that okay?

Post by Mystra »

While I wait for the application process I have some questions.

I am not sure it say, spears, are in-game but let's pretend they are not.
Would it be okay if my "amazon-like" character wields a sword while pretending it is a spear? And how can I expect others to react?

And what if I wanted to play a really short human, and select halfling as a race? Could I do that, or would it be better to pick a human and say to have others make believe I am just 4 feet tall?

From what I have read on other posts, pretending to be a were-creature or a vampire or something equally powerful is not allowed. But what if I wanted to play a half-elf. Could I select elf as a race, and say my father was a human?


It may sound silly or provocative, but the questions are made in honesty :)

There are some half-elf ig, and I think you would need to take human race and make her 4 feet tall, im not sure for weapons thought since we got animations now.

i know half-elf or othe rhalfrace things are allowed, pretending a weapon is somethign it isnt is iffy, i suppsoe you could if you used a similar weapon (i.e. a rapier when pretending to use a melee spear, sinc eim pretty sure spears in this are ranged). As for really short human, choose human and set the height as low as it'll go, since youre stil lhuman and should have the human characteristics (like human language)

With the exception of vampires and werewolves, I'm pretty sure you can play whatever you want under the condition that you're not trying to have him/her more powerful than anybody else.

you could use a weapon ingame and RP it as something else, aslong the actual weapon you use has the same properties as what you RP it as. For example: the spear you wouldnt use a warhammer.

For the shrot human halfing, just use a human and you can make it clear to others that your short human
