| + | =====Character Changes===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to maintain a sense of permanence and persistence, changing characters stats (outside of ability score improvements), feats, cantrips, and other aspects of a character is not allowed in Brightshore. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, once a character has been played at the table, you may alter anything about your character so long as it follows the rest of the rules for character creation. Perhaps your build isn't quite right, or maybe it didn't play quite like you expected it to at the table. But ince you have started playing your second session, the character is considered locked to the world as is, and may not be changed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | =====Character Limits===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A player may only have two active player characters at any one time. If you wish to create another character and already have two characters, one existing character must be retired. | ||
