Well let me be first to say thank you for taking the time to revamp these policies.

Next I have one question about Graceful Pleas. Does this mean that a player can go back over old requests that were turned down for whatever reason and ask for them to be approved as a Graceful Plea? Of course knowing that there are only three such requests allowed per PC.

Yes sir.

Does this mean we could ask to get a SS back, even if standard policy would not allow it, at the cost of a GP?

Aasimars and teiflings are no longer playable races period? (as in, they are not in the same perdicament as Half-critters?)

They are no longer submittable. People with Aasimar and Tiefling characters may continue to play them.

Yes, most legitimate excuses that before could not be corroborated and thus had to be denied can now have a plea used to have the strand returned. It could be that your power went out or your 3 year old stole your mouse or you had to run to the door...All acceptable usages of pleas to have strands returned. But for example "I want my strand back because I shouldn't have challenged that dragon." would not be an acceptable plea.

When will we be able to use the 3 dt free (with pleas of course)?

Whenever you like, really. These changes are effective immediately.

Pleas vs creation alignment:

Can one be used to reverse a decision about alignment that was denied at creation?

thanks guys!

The approval process of characters remains ultimately in the hands of the CA staff. Graceful pleas cannot be used to override their decisions regarding what is approvable or not. You will notice that the Graceful Pleas are only usable in the grievance forum, and that should be a fairly good indicator of what they can be used on and what they cannot.

So asking for the SS back Tyra lost because she was dazed last night doesn't count? *grins and hides*

Would like to ask. Can you plea for a wizard to become a specialist when they are a generalist.

Only grievance would be that when the character was made the player was too unfamiliar with the speciality restrictions with Layo and didn't want to hamstring the character before it even got going. So user ignorance/fear was the only things that prevented it from happening. Said character to my knowledge has not cast one spell from the school that would be prohibited in 8ish levels and the speciality school of choice would fit his character.

On a related question. Can a CDQ be taken for the same effects. Can a character have a CDQ run to demonstrate their pursuit, focus and dedication now forming for one school at the exclusion of its oppostie? I asked one or two DM's they had opinions but did nto feel comfortable with a final answer. And said I should ask on the boards. So I figured might as well tie both these up in one post.

Thank you kindly,
~D

Read closer.

The player will be given a choice between one of the following:[LIST=1]
The character may sacrifice one or more magic or enchanted items with a combined lens value of at least 100,000 True, and sacrifice XP equivalent to 2 character levels (with resulting loss of character levels). This reduction will put the character at the same relative place between levels, based on the XP difference between levels. For example, if the character is half way between level 22 and 23 when this option is exercised, the character will be half way between levels 20 and 21 after the reduction is made. The item(s) sacrificed in this option must be on the PC at the time of death.
The character may sacrifice XP equivalent to 5 character levels (with resulting loss of character levels). This reduction will put the character at the same relative place between levels, based on the XP difference between levels. For example, if the character is half way between level 22 and 23 when this option is exercised, the character will be half way between levels 17 and 18 after the reduction is made.

ahh ok
well i went to check drogo anyhow and now hes been wiped from lore to even think about it

First off I would like to say thanks for the changes. The one question I have is about the last soul strand returned that requires 2 levels of exp and 100,000 true in items from your person. The value of the items will be determined how? The reason I ask is that Layo prices are different then the NWN prices you get from the lens.
