Deadly player
Deadly (Help File)
A 'Deadly' character is one who has chosen to follow the path of the player killer (pkill). This choice is usually made when first entering the Realms, though you may also become deadly by requesting an Immortal to set you as pkill. A deadly character may never return to the peaceful way of life. Unless in an arena, deadly players are ONLY permitted to attack other deadly players. A period of grace is granted to deadly characters between their entry into the Realms and the time when they must be prepared to defend themselves. A pkiller does not appear on the 'who deadly' list until reaching level 5 and 18 years of age. Until this time, they may not engage in pkill activities. Multiplay, which includes a character appearing on the 'who deadly' list, is not allowed under any circumstances. A shared IP is no exception. Equipment worn by deadly players in player versus player (pvp) combat will not scrap, but may still be damaged and require repair. When a deadly dies in pvp combat, they become subject to a 5 minute timer that renders them unable to attack or be attacked. This timer clears if the character logs off. Corpses of those killed in pvp may be looted of up to 3 items by the player who struck the killer blow. Deadly characters level at a faster rate, quaff faster and inflict greater pvp damage. However, they are also subject to an adrenaline rush during combat that affects their ability to recall. They are also subject to restrictions on supplicate while adrenalized and if trying to retrieve a corpse.
