Editing Adoption System

==Overview==

The adoption system in RO is basic and requires only a few steps and 3 people:

'''Step 1''': Have a Male and Female become [[Marriage System | Married]].

'''Step 2''': Invite the character that is to become adopted into the party.
*Note for Parents: Must both be level 70 or higher '''and''' must have their wedding rings equipped.
*Note for Adoptee: Must be a First Class or [[Novice]] in order to be adopted.

'''Step 3''': One of the Parents must right click the child-to-be and select "Adopt -name-". Said character will be prompted if they want to be adopted by you - if they click OK, they will become the Parents' child.

''A couple only can adopt one character for their entire lives. Be sure the child-character you pick is the one you want.''

==Skills==

Along with the mentioned "Upsides," adopted characters and their parents gain access to new skills.

===Skills for Adoptees===
*'''Mom, Dad. I love you!'''
**Parents will have no death penalty for 2 minutes; Requires 10% of the child's MAX SP Amount
*'''Mom, Dad. I Miss you!'''
**Summons parents to the child's location.

===Skills for Parents===
*'''Baby, come over here'''.
**Summons child to parent's location

==Benefits of being Adopted==
*The child will be able to share with either (or both) of their Parents at any given level, as long as the Parents are both 70+. This makes leeching from 1/1 to 99/50 possible.
*The child is now Size [[Small]]. This renders Skel Worker Cards ineffective in [[PvP and WoE | PvP]] against child characters, as the only aspect of it that will affect them is the +5 [[ATK]] per card.
*Since the child is [[Small]] sized, the Knight skill [[Pierce]] will only do 1 hit.

==Limitations of being Adopted==
*Child's HP and SP are only 75% of [[Max HP]] and [[Max SP]].
*Adopted characters cannot increase a stat past 80 base (tip: if a character has a stat over 80 base prior to being adopted, it will stay as such - although it cannot be raised any further once adopted).
*Adopted characters cannot Rebirth/Transcend
*Adopted [[Blacksmith | Blacksmiths]]' and [[Alchemist | Alchemists]]' Forge and Brewing skills rates are decreased by 50%.
