Hey all, just a rule-related question for whomever happens to know the answer. I didn't see anything addressing this in the official rules, but I'd like to ask in case I either missed it, or if it's perhaps considered taboo even though it's not forbidden.
I understand that players are allowed to have multiple characters on Althanas, but what (if any) are the policies on having these characters participating in the same threads? I can see some advantages and disadvantages to this, so I want to get a mod's opinion.
On the one hand, of course, you could argue that they are separate characters with separate pools of experience points, and so any player would be motivated to do his best with both characters. So ideally it wouldn't have any detrimental effect on the thread.
But what about, say, two characters controlled by the same person participating in a fight? This leaves it open for the player to basically decide who will win at the outset, and it seems like it could be a cheap way to level up their 'preferred' character.
At the moment I have two characters and I'm working on a third (for me, just creating the characters is at least as much fun as the actual RP), though I don't think they'll have much interaction with each other. It was just a thought that came to me, and I want to be clear on it just in case it ever comes up.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the subject.
