The cost for mistakes...

[nezzerscape]

I was wondering what players thought about mistakes they made curing character creation, leveling, etc. We all have made mistakes in this department, I for one many. Some are “opps, I should have gone for that feat” some are “darn I chose the wrong abilities”. Many of these are easy to overcome by leveling and some are simply show stoppers for what you envisioned your toon to be. I envisioned that Elandra would become a weapons master but made many wrong decisions along the way. She still can but not until she hits her 20s (probable not going to happen).

So the question to you…

What do you think is fair for requesting changes to your char? Item, level (XP) loss? It is truly up to the DM as if and how these request can be handled but thought some input from the player community would be helpful.

I'm pretty sure the rule on this is that DMs don't refund levels or items. Because if they did then everybody would be asking for relevels and such. Though I'm not completely sure.

Remakes are never given unless they are necessary because of changes we implement which severely cripple a character. As a rule, don't ever expect to get a rebuild or relevel unless you have seriously extenuating circumstances. And this doesn't include "Damn I took the wrong feat / skills for my PrC", sorry. This rule is simply here because it is a very time consuming thing to do, and as Gam rightly said, we would spend all our time dealing with characters who want to change their character build plan.

Meaning no offense - I can see that this thread was designed purely to gain insight, but I'm closing it because it's far too tempting an invitation for people to get riled about whatever injustices they feel they suffer because of our rules

If people are THAT concerned about messing up their character, plan ahead -- http://nwn2db.com/

This is a simple case of something that would be another burden for DMs/Devs that players can manage themselves.
