For Haze, the team has established certain restrictions on character creation that are aligned with our server's vision.
To ensure the best gameplay experience, we have implemented the following restrictions on character creation:
Dump-Statting refers to the practice of deliberately lowering several stats to below average levels in order to maximize others. This strategy often involves reducing attributes such as INT/WIS/CHA to enhance a character's combat capacity. In order to maintain balance and discourage excessive optimization, Haze has implemented a policy that denies access to the game-world for characters with 2 or more stats below 10.
However, an exception to this rule exists for Half-Orcs, who are allowed to have up to 2 stats below 10.
You cannot have any stat below 6 when trying to enter the world or you will not be able to enter.
Haze only allows the selection of supported races and subraces for character creation. To verify if your desired race is available and not EP locked, please refer to our Races and Subraces page. Creating a character with an unsupported race puts your character at risk of being deleted.
To maintain a mature setting within Haze, any character that does not meet the adult age requirement for their race must obtain prior approval from the Dungeon Master (DM). Creating a character that is not an adult without DM permission may result in the deletion of your character.
Please make sure your character has a proper name, you will be given the opportunity to provide them a descriptive name in game, but do not use things like "The Shadow" or "Flicker", when naming your character. You are free to introduce yourself to anyone using this, or even as a reminder to yourself put your name as Bob "The Shadow" Jones, but your character has a name, even if nobody else will ever know it, and it gives us as Dungeon Masters the chance to use that name in plot if it ever becomes relevant.
Unless integral to the existing Forgotten Realms lore, the utilization of real-world cultures is not allowed within the context of the game. This pertains to instances like adopting the identity of "French" or "American" while in-character. Such approaches are best avoided, and players are encouraged to craft character backstories rooted in established geographical regions within the Forgotten Realms universe.
For instance, rather than having a character identify as "Japanese," consider weaving their origins into the mystical lands of Kara-Tur, embracing the rich tapestry of that realm's culture. Similarly, instead of labeling a character as "Brazilian," delve into the vibrant societies of Maztica or anchor their heritage amidst the diverse landscapes of the Vilhon Reach.
Let your character's heritage flourish in harmony with the intricate realms of the Forgotten Realms, such as hailing from the bustling ports of Waterdeep, the enchanting forests of Cormanthor, or the enigmatic deserts of Anauroch. By immersing characters in the boundless possibilities of this fantastical world, players contribute to the authenticity and depth of the collective storytelling experience.
To maintain the immersive and original nature of the game world, Haze enforces a policy that prohibits the creation of characters based on existing pop culture figures from books, movies, video games, and other media.
We encourage players to create unique and original characters that fit within the lore and setting of Haze. This policy helps to preserve the integrity of the game's narrative and allows players to fully engage in the immersive roleplaying experience.
By adhering to this policy, players contribute to a diverse and vibrant community where originality and creativity are celebrated. Let your imagination flourish as you forge your own path in the rich world of Haze, filled with unique characters and captivating stories.
Any player who does not log into the game for a consecutive period of 60 days will risk losing their character.
Should you find yourself unable to access the game for an extended period, a process has been implemented for reclaiming your character under certain circumstances.
Players who have lost their characters due to inactivity may submit a request to regain them via the Discord's Ticket system. This request should include a compelling story that explains the character's disappearance from the world.
All requests will be subject to DM team approval. We believe that storytelling is at the heart of our gaming experience, and we encourage players to weave their tales within Haze.
