Player vs. Player How can I PvP without breaking the rules? 
1) Use dicebags. The system for dicebagging (should) be the following: - Roll a 1d20 die, add your Attack Bonus (AB) - If the above roll is equal to or higher than the defenders Armor Class (AC), then you hit - Roll the weapon's damage (Examine the weapon you currently have equipped, or apply your unarmed damage), add your Strength Ability Score Modifier (Located next to the amount of Strength you have), and add weapon misc. properties. - Damage vs. Defenders HP. If the Defender's HP would become less than 1 HP, the Defender is knocked unconscious. - The above is used if you're attacking. The normal Strength Roll (or Dexterity if you have Weapon Finesse) versus Dexterity roll, and if the attacker hits, then Defender rolls Constitution, and if the difference between the Constitution and the Strength or Dexterity is more than 10, then the defender is unconscious, system applies for general roughhousing, etc. 2) Activate the Subdual Mode feather in your inventory. Select the option "Sparring Mode," and initiate normal combat. Both parties MUST have "Sparring Mode" toggled, or one of the parties is going to -actually- die. No death occurs when "Sparring Mode" is activated, just the person who is reduced to below 1 HP is knocked out for a period of time, then gets back up. By the way, don't try to use this to avoid dying from zombies. You're sadly mistaken, and no raises will be given out if you try. 3) Ask for actual PvP permission. If you are caught blatantly attacking players without Subdual Mode on or permission, then you will given a ban varying upon the severity of your offense. 4) Talk to a Dungeon Master if your PvP 'situation' would involve killing an unknowing player. A DM can help you set up the event, and let you know if it is a legal action or not. Killing a player unknowingly with no warning is not tolerated unless you have the explicit go-ahead from one of our staff members. If you do not speak to a DM before killing a player without warning you will be the one in trouble.
If your character dies due to #3, then do not make another character in order to get vengeance for your previous character's death. This is, in essence, attempting to Player Kill, and you will be banned for it.
Pickpocketing another player is grounds for full-on PVP. Please keep this in mind when stealing from another survivor.
D&D Hardcore rules are on. Area of Effect damage harms players. Please do not do this to intentionally try to kill them "by accident", that would make us very unhappy! Casting offensive spells on someone to test them is also not allowed, unless the other person agrees to getting hurt. The people playing here are players like you. So before you kill someone, ask yourself: Would I want to die? Can I continue to Roleplay when others know me to be a murderer? Will some avenge my victim and kill me in return?

Q: Hypothetically speaking; playing a priest of Lathander. Someone creates an undead with a spell in front of said Dawnbringer, refuses to destroy it, and then refuses pvp permission. Happens when no DM on.
What do?
A: That is considered abusing our OOC rules for IC gain, and can be punished by a staff member. Screenshot any sort of action like that and send it to myself and the other DM's as soon as possible. Once we see it we will speak to said player about it. That would not be a fault on your end - but the player in question. If you are openly putting yourself in hostile situations you are opening yourself to PvP.
"The people playing here are players like you. So before you kill someone, ask yourself: Would I want to die? Can I continue to Roleplay when others know me to be a murderer? Will some avenge my victim and kill me in return?"
This very much also applies to that mentioned situation.
"If I summon an undead in front of a holy priest, am I willing to put myself in a situation where PvP will 100% be in play?"
So to put it bluntly - anyone trying to abuse our PvP rules will be punished.
