A Carpathian Nightmare Ruleset
Server Ruleset
1. A DM can enforce a new rule at anytime, written or verbal. Do not argue or contest it. If you have a problem with it, contact the forums an post your thoughts there.
2. A DM is always right and has the final judgement. Do not contest the DM's in game. They inside the game are always right. To dispute an debate about the matter, login to the forums an post there.
3. Any hostile actions are ONLY allowed in PVP areas,
6. NO farming or camping UNLESS you are in a Camp Zone as listed in your journal.
7. NO boss camping. (Script Enforced).
8. DM's will NOT replace any cash or items so do NOT ask or complain.
9. Use the Carpathian Bank at your own risk. No refunds!
10. NO abusing Bugs, Exploits, Haks, Cheats...nothing!
11. Do not harrase players in Tell Channel. Server keeps a text log of all TELL conversations, that is your warning.
12. No spamming on shout. Extreme foul language is prohibited regardless of how often in shout.
14. No disturbing someones bank chest when that chest is open (Script Enforced).
15. No Trap Stacking! (Script Enforced). Must separate them by at least 2 meters.
PvP Ruleset
1. No Griefing!!! This is defined as...
Griefers differ from typical players in that they do not play the game in order to achieve objectives defined by the game world. Instead, they seek to harass other players, causing grief. In particular, they may use tools such as stalking, hurling insults, and exploiting unintended game mechanics. Griefing as a gaming play style is not simply any action that may be considered morally incorrect.
The use or abuse of a game mechanic that was not intended by the game's developers.
The inability of the victim to exact some means of retribution beyond utilizing similar unintended game mechanics.
The intended purpose of an act of griefing must be to negatively impact the gameplay of another person.
Players will often consider the following actions to constitute griefing: kill stealing, spamming, team killing (or team wounding), team flashing, door or path blocking, ninja looting, spawn camping, and corpse camping.
2. No resurrecting a player after you PK them with intent to PK them again.
3. Do not hunt Players unless they have bounties. You may PK them but excessive tracking a player that does not have a bounty can be considered Griefing, an Harrasment.
4. Do not Camp an area with intent to PvP UNLESS its a designated Camp Zone as listed in the journal. You must keep transisting map to map (but not exploiting the transistion areas).
5. Never set a Trap, or go Hostile on a Spawn Point or Area Transistion.
6. No Pickpocketing in Arena (Script Enforced).
7. No Spamming the same Hostile Feat or Spell(including Meta-Magic). You are allowed one use at a time, no consecutive uses allowed.
8. No Spamming Pickpocket anytime! Once per turn(60 seconds). Dungeon Masters are notified of every theft made. If you try to pickpocket more than once a minute you are subject to being punished (Script Enforced).
Item Ruleset
Make sure you leave one tab free of ANY items in the event a script strips off your equipped items. Final warning, no refunds.
If you are caught with an item that is forbidden, it will be confiscated with notice and without a refund either by script or DM.
Illegal gear for example be anything that exceeds what the following...
Barbarian Rages:

On Failed Will Save
if Level = BarbarianLevels = Fear 1-3 rounds, % chance of Fear Paralysis

All Dispell Magic:
InnateLevel: Lesser=3, Dispel=5, Greater=7, Mords=9
DispelLevel: Lesser=1, Dispel=2, Greater=3, Mords=4
Caster DC Formula = d20() + SpellFocuses + CasterLevel - (9-InnateLevel)
Effect Creator DC Formula = 16 + SpellDefenseBonus + CasterLevel
By Spell, Caster gets:
Lesser = -15 levels
Dispel = -10 levels
Greater = -5 levels
Mords = straight lvl v lvl dispel with a Breach twist of some sort we can hammer out later.
Epic Spell - Epic Warding: Damage Reduction 20/+20) up to 50 * (Caster Level / 2) Damage. Lasts 1 round per level
Fear: All Fear spells except Barbarian Rage Fear has a maximum duration of d3 rounds.
Greater Sanctuary: This spell is disabled due to no saving throw
Greater Restoration: does not heal anymore
Harm - 10 points of damage per caster level (max. of 400 at level 40). On successful will save, harm deals half this amount, but it cannot reduce the target's hit points to less than 1. If used on an undead creature, harm acts like heal.

Isaacs Greater Missile Storm: Up to 20 missiles, each doing 1d6 damage to each target in area.
Mass Heal: Same as 'Heal' but all members in the radius gain the effect.
Mestil's Acid Sheath & Elemental Shield do not stack. Mestil's damage is 1d6 + (Caster Level / 2) Mestil gives 50% Acid Immunity.

Spellcraft DC = 50
Base UMD Scroll DC = 40
Spellcraft Penalty DC = 5 (If you fail a check by more than this amount you are penalized.
UMD Penalty DC = 5
Damage Penalty = 3d20
Random Effects on Failure: 1 of 25
If players have either a UMD or Spellcraft skill level
of 5 or higher and they have both skills, they recieve
a synergy bonus. This will result in the player (or you)
seeing a skill level 2 higher than on the character sheet
because BW does not account for this synergy even though
it is a standard 3E rule. The code then appropriately decides
which skill to use (either craft or UMD) after this synergy
adjustment is made. Every UMD spell casted is shared with your henchman.

We are the longest running, most advance no hak content, and most fierce PvP Action module in NwN history with its original ownership and developer, Scott Milliorn. Many have failed to mimic, steal, and destroy ACN along with taking credit for much of its original content, but they have come and gone, and ACN still lives on as the original, an innovator of NwN Action PvP. Don't be fooled by imitators, this is the original and only "A Carpathian Nightmare" Neverwinter Nights Module.

The module was built, programmed and created by Scott and Sarah Milliorn. It is also the longest running Legendary Level PvP server besides the original, Higher Ground. ACN also has the most subraces in any PvP module. ACN has the original PvP Score/Bounty Hunter System. ACN was first launched in early 2005, but was completed in 2004. Development started in 2003 originally as a Path of Ascension module. The development of Path of Ascension ACN stems off from the days as a developer for the Ancient Warriors Clan, the original authors of Path of Ascension NwN. After a year and lack of support, it was put on hold for over a year until ACN was born. Module was then finished that year. Wolfstar was the head Dungeon Master originally. Elwoodini was the first host, serving for 4 years straight. Qwen and Karyn Asher hosted BETA v2 of ACN later on, with Elwoodini hosting v2 full time after BETA ended. Desi has relieved me (Milliorn) of forum/website work for almost 4 years now. The only Dungeon Master to serve on both v1 and v2 of ACN was Wolfstar (their has been many that has come and gone). The longest faithful member of ACN as a player and later on retired Dungeon Master, Durf, who has played ACN since its official launch, still plays to this day over five years later. Many other members rival Durf's commitment such as the Legion of The Damned Guild, who has played ACN for nearly 5 years now, along with Order of Vengeance, led by The Queen of Vengeance.

ACN now V3 beta is awesome. Breathing new life into an already awesome server! Milliorn and his developers are at it again, making life from lifelessness. With new class developments, area maps, and quests, A Carpathian Nightmare is making nwn new again. Class developments and original upgrades open up builds that you never thought useful on other servers. Come pvp with us!

One of the best mods Ive ever played. A+++ Dms are quite helpful, players are always willing to help new players and are very welcoming. As for previous comments about ooc conversation, this is a pvp action server, not a rp server, so what the guy said is right about ooc, but it doesnt really have a place there anyway. i recommend it to all builders who have ever wondered "what if?" the possibilities are practically limitless. 11 out of 10. excellent work Milliorn!

Yes, its official, I have returned to NwN. ACN is now v3, the official version 3. I am sorry for this past year, as I been medically disabled, and recovering from that, along with Dodgy attempting a hostile takeover while I was hospitalized. I only posting this so people will not have any doubt that I am back. If you wish to further contact me at all, there is a forum to reach me at :D
