Item Restrictions
Just like any online or in real-life table, the DM may impose a variety of restrictions on the players for example the kind of races or classes that are available, particular feats or what items can or cannot be acquired by their players. To ensure a fair playing ground for all players from level 3 to 20 and to reduce the stress on our amazing DMs, we have decided to limit or restrict the accessibility to particular items for a variety of reasons. Generally, these are broken down into four main reasons, or groups, which include scope, power, balancing, and unforeseen circumstances.
Group 1
The following items have been restricted due to being beyond the scope of the server, i.e. items that don't fit the theme of Macguffins, Ltd, end game magic items and beyond
