    This has been in effect for a couple days now, but most characters no longer receive bonus rupees for having a high wisdom score. However, Northern Hylians can receive half of what was the normal Wisdom bonus due to their Magic Proficiency racial ability. Gerudo can receive a similar bonus for power from their Warrior's Training ability, and Rito can now also receive a courage bonus from their new Valiance racial ability. Any characters who have been created prior to this change are not affected by it.

    The signature limit has been increased to 9001. Thank WillowtheWhisp for convincing adad to do this.

    As you may have already noticed, the staff is currently working on adding "Classic Dungeons" to the role-play. This section is to take all the dungeons from canon Zelda games and make them role-playable for your characters. The exact layout of the dungeons is completely up to you and can even divert wildly from normal, so long as the theme of the dungeon is kept and the monsters found within it are reasonable. (This may sound familiar to those of you who came from HS.) What makes these dungeons particularly unique is that they are considered separate from the main role-play; the actions taken within them do not necessarily have to affect anything beyond that thread (which can be convenient if you want a character to die, for instance). This also means that a character can effectively be in any number of classic dungeons while also role-playing in the main area. However, the rewards for a dungeon are (normally) lesser than those for a quest, and the only receivable reward from dungeons is plain rupees. More details will be disclosed when the system is finished.

    Similar to the Classic Dungeons, there will be constructed an Arena in the same 'Separate Role Play Areas' category. The Arena exists to provide fair combat competition between player characters, which again does not need to affect the main role-play. Details of the Arena will be made known as work on it progresses.

    Finally, you have likely already noticed that I changed "Everything you need to know about Hyrule Castle" to a global announcement, and have edited & updated it to include a few more details which seemed important.

    Also to be noted is the creation of the spoiler tag. Simply make a [*spoiler=Title Here*]*Body Text here, including images, urls, etc.*[*/spoiler*] without the aterisks. It can also be used in signatures, which allows people to add all their characters, details, etc. without making abnormally long and annoying walls of text while reading posts.

    Example Spoiler Tag - Don't put any smilies in here. (open)
    This is the body text. You can put :) XD smilies, images, and whatever you want here.

    Edit: Apparently you cannot nest spoiler tags... I might edit the code to fix it once I figure out how.

    Thirdly, a modification has been added to the extra rupees that may be earned by profession. Now, if you have two of your own characters within a quest, only the highest bonus rupee reward will be used. As quoted by Guy: "In addition, a player can only gain rupees from the highest-level profession any of their characters possesses in the course of a quest."

    For example, if you have a character with a level 3 profession and one with a level 1 profession, you will only get the rupee bonus for the level 3 profession.
