    8.Death - side from role playing, there are certain parts of the game that cannot be avoided. These are game mechanics and more or less what you have to do to level, and improve yourself. Mostly, your character will improve through killing mobs.

    Player killing IS allowed in Darkening Sun, after all, this is supposed to be as realistic as possible. One word of warning is that if you kill another player for a non-IC reason, you will be punished by the nobles, the administration, or both. Player killing is accepted, but not taken lightly.

    9.Combat - Combat is level dependent on Darkening Sun. That is to say, if you greatly out class your opponent in terms of level, you will more than likely defeat them very easily. The opposite is also true. If your intended kill out ranks you, you may want to rethink your actions.

    Weapons also do damage that is dependent on their type. Daggers do the least amount of damage (all other factors being equal) and two handed axes do the most. This should be self evident. All players can wield a weapon, and hold one in thier off hand. While so armed, the character gains an extra (and ONLY one) attack with that secondary weapon. While using a shield, holding an item, or wielding a two handed weapon, a secondary weapon cannot be used.
