In KST, you enlist for a trial to test and/or improve your skill in a certain field. The Introduction gives you a brief story background and environment description, while this thread holds more detailed OOC information. You can post In Character (IC) in the Bird Tales thread for comical relief, or Out Of Character in the OOC Discussion thread. The trials at KST are divided into two categories - Certificates and Challenges. Certificates are tutorials and tests for players of varying skill levels and fields of interest, and contain both OOC and IC elements. Challenges are mini-adventures presented by various DMs on the site, and often focus on combat and problem-solving. All trials take place in The Trial Lounges forum. Anything pertaining to an ongoing trial should be posted in the relevant lounge thread. An IC post in the Bird Tales thread will announce when the trial is about to begin and it's time to shuffle over to the Trial Lounges.

Land of the Mystic Feys Basic Certificate Learn the inns and outs of the play-by-post format here on EZboard, as well as the basics of the 3.5 d20 system. This certificate is suitable for members new to 3.5 D&D or to the PbP format. The Colosseum Want some combat practice? Come to the colosseum! Perhaps you feel that you're familiar with the basic stuff but want some more practice before you go for the standard certificate? Or maybe you want to try out a new character concept? Just fill out a character sheet, apply, and you'll be fighting monsters in no time. 3.5 D&D Standard Certificate This certificates has an OOC and an IC part. You first answer 20 questions on various aspects of the core D&D game, using rule books or the on-line SRD for reference if you wish. The IC part consists of exploring the combat options of a pre-made character under certain conditions. Having passed the 3.5 D&D Standard Certificate is seriously considered by the site admins when granting DM privileges to would-be DMs, and it's a prerequisite to apply for Challenges and Advanced Certificates. This requirement is waivered for members having already displayed an equivalent play skill and game knowledge previously on the site. Note: Shortly after the release of the 4th ed. SRD, there will also be a 4.0 D&D Standard Certificate. Advanced Certificates Advanced Certificates go deeper into particular fields of interest. Refer to the specified certificates below for more details. The 3.5 D&D Standard Certificate is a prerequisite to apply for advanced certificates. Advanced Certificate in Character Optimization Design 3 characters of diverse types for ECL 5, 10 and 15, meeting certain design requisites. Then put them to a brief test to ensure that the requisites have been met. Advanced Certificate in Teamwork How often is poor co-operation and preparation to blame for failure! Rally your party members and practice co-operation under stress in the PbP format here. You can use an existing party, or make a new one up. Advanced Certificate in Physical Tactics Practice combat and problem solving with little or no magic or psionics, using a pre-made character to overcome a gauntlet/obstacle course. Advanced Certificate in Non-Physical Tactics Practice combat and problem solving with magic and/or psionics, using a pre-made character to overcome a gauntlet/obstacle course. Note: More advanced certificates may be added if it serves other campaigns on the forum. For example, there could be an Epic Tactics certificate if someone was interested in running an epic campaign.

Posts: 3575 (09/14/07 03:56:37) Nipper More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Report Post	Challenges are offered by various DMs or DMs-to-be on the site, and may be more or less permanent or temporary depending on the DM's wishes. It's a good way for new DMs to learn the ropes, for established DMs to try that scenario that they just couldn't fit into their campaign, or just generally experiment with the game. To apply or host a challenge, you must first pass the 3.5 D&D Standard Certificate, or have displayed comparable play skill previously on the forum. You can use any legal, on-line material in the challenges, but anything outside the 3.5 SRD needs to be approved first. These are the presently available challenges: Balzone's Challenge Put your ability to design a character without weaknesses in this challenge! After you submit your character, Balzone will make an opponent of equal level and wealth, specifically designed to kill yours in arena-style combat. Urdjur's Challenge For the select few, King Solomon gives personal "instruction". Design a 21st level character and take him on in one of his very own trial lounges. Not for the faint of heart!

If we don't have our hands full, you shouldn't have to wait long. Feel free to exchange pearls of wisdom with Bird while you wait! He's sure to have an opinion on your character's ideas.

Thanks to all players so far!
