 Tech-rez requests without thorough documentation are highly likely to be denied; players are encouraged to submit screenshots included an expanded combat dialog window. ''Examples of valid reasons for a Tech-Rez on BG may include engine failure, mis-tooled creatures, inappropriate spawn points (ambush spawns/infinite spawns), immortal NPCs, illegal CvC/griefing, left-over DM spawns of inappropriate CR in inappropriate areas, or drunken DMs casting Wail of the Banshee in an inn room.''
 Lag, loss of internet connection, or being AFK in an area where creatures spawn are not valid reasons for a Tech-rez. ''(Players are encouraged not to solo, as the majority of ALFA Tech-rez requests occur when a character was soloing and "lagged" and such requests will be summarily denied on BG.)''

 If your PC dies you should expect for it to remain dead. Players are not entitled to a resurrection of their PCs on BG, though it might happen. For your convenience, here are the IC Rez and Tech Rez policies that members must abide by on BG.
 === In-Character Resurrection ===
 : ''For reference, see: [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/raiseDead.htm Raise Dead], [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/resurrection.htm Resurrection], [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/trueResurrection.htm True Resurrection], [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/miracle.htm Miracle], and [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/reincarnate.htm Reincarnate].
-Any IC rez of a PC on BG must involve obtaining the spell components and finding a NPC or PC willing to cast the spell. Dying is significant and returning back to life is even more so. It is important that the correct procedures for bringing PCs back from the dead be followed. ''(Communicating the location of your corpse to any player in any fashion is meta-gaming, is forbidden by ALFA rules, and will not be tolerated. Players should seek a DM for spells such as'' Speak with Dead [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/speakWithDead.htm] ''if you are interested in determining if a character would wish to be raised In-Character, rather than contacting the dead player character directly.)''

-Requests for [[Exceptional Characters]] (EPC) must be made to the HDM for approval. Players may only have one EPC at a time, though Prestige Classes [Class] (PrC) are exempt from this rule. If you already have a valid EPC, do not apply for a second EPC until your first one dies or you decide to permanently retire it.

 Note that EPCs are exceptional and the current population of all ALFA servers being as low as it is currently means that the granting of an exceptional race token on BG is unlikely, without extensive background history.
