Forgotten Realms: Starmantle is Changing!

Under development and not currently up and running!

The idea behind FR: Starmantle is to create a fun place for players to play and adventure in the Forgotten Realms that is focused around the Dragon Coast. To sum up our plans we are developing a setting that will hopefully allow all types of players to come and enjoy the hobby we all love.

The main design of FR:Starmantle is to make it a challenge and keep the setting fresh by maintaining a bit of the unknown as it is explored. We are expanding the areas as fast as we can but to give you an idea of what we are doing, here is a list of the highlights.

* We use the Auto down loading system and character creation before you enter.
* Regions: You can select the region your character is from . Such as Waterdeep, Damara, Halruaa, and many more!
* New Skills: Such as Knowledges (Arcana, Religion, Nobilitiy, many more), Gather Information, Disguise, Climb, Jump, Speak Languages, plus others.
* More useful original skills: Heal now allows you to aid others in healing, give bonus to a poison saving throw. Appraise can be used to actually know what an item is really worth. And more!
* DMFI integrated with languages used.
* KEMO Animations, we now have tons more emotes.
* KEMO Sittable Chairs, now you can take the load off your feet.
* KEMO Biographies and Pictures Let others know what your character looks like through text and pictures.
* KEMO PC Scrying tools, Now you can get connected with others on the server that are ready to adventure.
* Heeds PC Tools adds better use of animations, general role play actions, and helps integrate more content for the player.
* Randomly locked and / or trapped doors, chests and other objects. A thief can be a very handy party member.
* Custom monster spawning system to make encounters unique and challenging, Monsters can come from many locations all at the same time!
* Specially created monsters as well as randomly classed creatures. One time you may face a Gnoll group with a Rogue and Warrior the next you could be facing a Sorcerer and Shaman.
* Unique Opponents that will be built to add surprise as well as a challenge to any party.
* Skills used for various things like haggling merchants.
* Random treasure system that has thousands of different magic items to be found.
* Respawn system that doesn't remove Experience or Gold from the player. A 25% penalty is applied for each death that lasts for 4 real minutes. A player could effectivly get a 100% xp penalty but they would have to die 4 times within 4 minutes. Also a player may continue where they left off by taking a -1 level penalty per respawn within 4 game hours. Otherwise they may go to a safe location.
* Permanent chests to keep your valuable items in as long as you own a home.
* Housing system where you can own a simple cottage or a house complete with beds for sleeping, and other things you to make it feel like home. All from within the game, the only requirements are gold and the need for a place to stay! No forms or requests to be allowed to own a house. No wait time for it to be set up.
* Crafting weapons, and armor. Special materials just like in DnD to make even better items.
* Enchanting of potions, scrolls, wands, and many other items! From +1 long swords to cloaks of protection an adventurer can now be prepared for what lies out in the world.
* Item appearance changer. You can now change the appearances of Helmets, gloves, boots, armor, cloaks, and your weapons. We allow all modules and colors available on the server.

 We can be found in the Tech Support section of Game Spy. Just look for Forgotten Realms - Starmantle!

Note: Any characters started on the server are subject to change. This is due to balancing reasons and unforeseen issues.
Once the server is done with Development and is moved to the Action list all characters will be removed and the server will start clean.

Also our Forums are here in case you would like to give us valuable input.
