Newbies

A newcomer is a character without remorts who has completed fewer than 50 questor tasks. All freshly created characters in Dreamland are considered newcomers at first (or, in MUD player slang -- newbie). We love newcomers very much, so they receive many useful perks that make it easier to settle into the world, for example:

• Prices for paid services are reduced, the baker gives food for free
• You can pray for teleportation to the Temple right from combat
• On death you do not have to search long for your corpse (only up to level 15)
• Poisons and diseases deal much less damage
• Clan guards do not attack but politely show you the door
• Lions may gift you a nice shield
• The questor takes the hero's inexperience into account and gives simplified quest types:

+ does not assign a task to kill a powerful target. + does not send you to punish a thief of higher level or one who has the habit of hiding loot in a chest. + does not send you to return a child to its mother if more than one ambush is expected along the way.

There are other bonuses from newcomer status -- but it eventually ends once you have settled in and feel confident in our world.
