Character Rules

Kingdoms of Novitas, like any story, uses characters as the catalysts of the plot. How the characters in a story interact with each other and the environment determines the mood and often the direction of the story. Unlike a normal book or play, the plot at Kingdoms of Novitas is fluid and changes almost every hour based on the actions of the participants. By creating their own characters, players personally impact the game world and the ongoing plot line. This multitude of variables makes Kingdoms of Novitas far more dynamic than any book, movie or play is even close to capable of!

The term "character" is generally shortened here and elsewhere from "Player Character" to simply "PC".

Character development is open-ended: there are no classes, alignments or maximum level.
