Stealth Mode And Transitions

[Mort]

EFU:A is a roleplay server working within the limitation of the NWN engine. There are some limitations that can be abused. One such limitation is Transitions.

Play as if our areas are all connected. Normally, if you hit stealth in front of someone, unless you are a Shadow Dancer, you do not vanish. You still need to break the line of sight.

Transitions are a big advantage to stealthers since they are a 'free break-line of sight event', but we expect people to NOT abuse this and to only stealth when they think they have truly broken the line of sight with their foe physically (i.e. running far enough or using invisibility potions, etc.). This is very similar to the corner sneaking abuse.

You should never hit stealth prior or right after (before your opponent load) a transition. Be fair to your opponents and they will be fair to you. We're a small community. Sooner or later, you'll be tagged as a 'lamer' if you consistently engage in these behaviours and ... things will be significantly less fun for you (both from the DMs being tired of having to intervene in all your events as referees and from other players who just dont like you because you are abusing every encounter in order to 'win').

Another "No No" in reference to transition is that if you are running away from a monster, you transition and the monster does not transition after you. You, hence, stop running... Now, is this an ooc behavior or an ic behavior? It's definitely OOC and your character should probably keep running away even if the monster is not following rather than chill right next to the transition fully knowing 'it' protects him.

We are not scared to completely RETCON events, and ban (maybe permanently for repeated offenders) where people abuse/metagame in order to 'win'.

Thank you!
