so are you guys gonna reset the rebuild clock, or one year from the last rebuild?

Yes, any rebuilds made before Maias's posting will not be counted toward the year.

One year from the last rebuild.

I say kill all rebuilds. Because its stupid. The build thread is there for a reason. Either kill all Rebuilds for everyone, or kill the build topic completely dead. One or the other. Kerplah!

Uh, Hey Tormak? This.

Which one of you is right?

Dear Amians.

We have now been running with the current free rebuild scheme for quite some time. The DM team have continuously evaluated both positive and negative effects of the perk. In recent discussions we have come to the agreement that the amount of free rebuilds have to be reduced. DMs are simply spending far too much time rebuilding. As a consequence we have agreed upon reducing the amount of free rebuilds allowed. To clarify DMs do not get any extra privilege rebuilds and are subject to the same rules as players.

So in conclusion we have decided to reduce the amount of rebuilds to once per year instead of four per year. The same guidelines as for the current rebuilds will be in place; eg major class changes still require an in character reason.

Nothing is changed about self-rebuilds or DC-rebuilds. This change to free rebuild policy is effectively immediately and thus any free rebuild made after the posting of this post will count towards the new limit of 1/per year.

The DM Team

wouldn't "one per year" be better than "at least one year from your previous rebuild"?

I feel like that makes people want to rebuild asap so their next possible rebuild will be available sooner.

"I could rebuild now and rebuild again one year from now or I could rebuild in december... wait, I'm losing a lot of time then before the next one. I better rebuild now!"

Silva: No its not a free go back, you'll have to wait a year I'm affraid.

Getting a character only deleveled and not built back up counts as a rebuild now? I thought DM's were always more than happy to just strip some XP away (barring certain strange quirks, DD stat bonuses and such)?

Well Gagis is on a year long hiatus then. A pity, especially since the new build was broken by the divine shield nerf a week after the rebuild. If the DM who helped me do it had known that the nerf was coming this could have been avoided. -_-

Clearly he took Paladin levels because it mattered to his RP though, and only getting +1 AC instead of +15 should make no difference to that.

Oh please, a level 27 sorceror is not broken by losing divine shield. An epic sorc is incapable of being broken n a manner that makes it not the best thing in the game.

I will tell you right now, this is a load of crap. Me, and my lvl 24 Sorc that routinely got owned by the Yuan-ti.

Lotsa <3, Grumpy.

That's player error then, because a level 20 sorc can solo the entire server let alone a 24.

No. Because you shouldn't be wasting your time by turning Amia into a glorified single player experience.

You can check in the player tools man.

DMs knew about the Divine Shield nerf months before it was implemented. If somebody rebuilt you and didn't think to mention it, which is unfortunate but understandable, I should think they'll be happy to rebuild you if you make a clear request and submit it to the entire team instead of asking individuals in the public forums. I don't think they could've gone from reasonable people to spiteful brats in such a short time.

Even if the timer didn't restart, which is still unclear. The official announcement says that it will, but some comments have been to the contrary.

Well, to clarify... blame my twittyness for the need for it. My first rebuild was some time in December if I remember correctly. This would mean any rebuild made after the posting of Maias would then count towards the one year time limit, correct? Or does the rule count backwards, meaning that I can get the next in December? DMs I talked to give me very split answers, even in this topic, or change their position. I am confused!
