Stable of characters

Players are encouraged to keep a stable of characters and play often so that they aren’t dropped all the way back to the beginning on a character’s death.  It’s also possible you could take over one of your retainers on a successful post-death morale check, but if the retainer doesn’t have levels they are still going to start at first level.

• Even if you have a stable of characters to choose from, you may still only play one character at a time.
• No one else may play one of your stable of characters.
• None of your characters may will any items to other characters in your stable or any other character they have not adventured with.
  • If another character has taken possession of items that are willed, well, that’s a civil matter, if you catch my drift…
• Your highest level character may only be twice the level of your lowest level character (round down).
  • If your highest level character needs to level up, you will have to play a lower-level character to allow for it.
  • For instance, if you have a fifth level character, your lowest level character may only be second level (5 ÷ 2 = 2.5).
  • As a corollary, if you have a character that is fourth level or higher, you may not start new characters in your stable until you retire that higher level character, so make choices about a stable of characters early.  (4 ÷ 2 = 2, sorry.)
