 +===== Quickstart =====
 +
 +This is a guide to discovering the Axe and Sickle, including what a new player should read. We recommend you go through this entire guide as soon as possible.
 +
 +==== Setting and World ====
 +
 +  * Read  [[:start|Summary of the Roll of Ages]]
 +      * Read the paragraphs, do not click on the links— they're the same as on this page, but ordered for experienced players.
 +  * Read  [[:world_lore:s1:nations_and_cultures|Nations and Cultures]]
 +      * For backstory purposes.
 +  * Consider reading  [[:organizations:list_of_player_organizations_in_barrow_s_maw|Player Organizations]]
 +      * You may be interested in joining these early into the server.
 +      * Being a member of an organization, especially a martial organization, grants very good benefits.
 +      * Organizations operate according to the Organization Rules.
 +
 +==== Character Creation ====
 +
 +We recommend you read the entire [[:rules:house-rules|House Rules]] document. However, because this is a daunting task, certain key sections are linked here.
 +
 +=== Introduction ===
 +
 +  *  [[:rules:house-rules#tone_and_theme|Tone and Theme]]
 +      * The best introduction to the server.
 +  *  [[:rules:house-rules#books|Allowed Resources]]
 +      * Very important when understanding what characters you can create.
 +      * We recommend you don't use a +1 on your first character unless you are an experienced 3.5 player, because it lengthens the character creation process.
 +
 +=== Major Houserules ===
 +
 +  * Feats are gained at every odd level (1, 3, 5, 7, 9).
 +  * Up to one flaw per character (Not all flaws are allowed, see the Houserules for the list.)
 +  * One free Minor Feat per character (A feat with a small bonus, mostly for RP).
 +  * [[:rules:house-rules#fractional_base_bonuses|Fractional Base Attack and Save Bonuses]] and [[:rules:house-rules#multiclass_saving_throws|Multiclass Saving Throws]].
 +
 +=== Nerfed and Restricted Tactics ===
 +
 +Read the list before finalizing a character concept, and read the exact restrictions in the Houserules if you want to use one of these tactics.
 +
 +  * Animal Companions (lightly)
 +  * Crafting Magic Items
 +  * Entangle
 +  * Grease
 +  * Metamagic Cost Reduction
 +  * Polymorphing
 +  * Summoning
 +  * Turning Attempts
 +  * Wild Shape
 +
 +=== Disallowed Options ===
 +
 +The following options from always-allowed books are NOT available:
 +
 +  * Races in Expanded Psionics Handbook, except Half-Giant, Elan, and Blue.
 +  * The Gray Elf and Sun Elf Races.((There are +1 LA variants for this sever.))
 +  * Leadership feat.
 +  * Thrallherd class.
