4.17 ROLEPLAYING POINTS

As you go about your business in Lusternia, you may get messages that your character's strength of personality has decreased. This results from actions that are considered poor roleplaying.

Using HONOURS on a player will show you what the strength of their personality is considered to be. This information is found directly under their ranking, and may say something like, "He is of acceptable character" or, "He is a refreshingly credible character."

Having a poor rolepoint ranking will reduce the length of the emotes you can perform, increase the amount of experience you lose from various things, and decrease the amount you get from various things. Having a good rolepoint ranking will do the opposite. Also, low rolepoints will have the following ramifications:

   Refreshingly credible:  Unable to take on proteges if a mentor.
   Credible and below:     No shouts or market channel privileges.
   Dubious and below:      No city or commune channel privileges.
   Questionable and below: No guild channel privileges. 

If you have lost rolepoints, then you will find that you regenerate them slowly over time - increasing a little each day.
