  * Q : When I log out, does my character stay ingame?&lt;BR&gt;
      A : Yes.  Logging out in the street is generally a bad idea, as you can be killed in your sleep.  It&#39;s always best to log out either in the Cube Hotel, or in your apartment (if you own one).


  * Q : Where can I practice skills?&lt;BR&gt;
=== When I log out, does my character stay in-game? ===
      A : Rolf&#39;s Gym in Slagtown.  There are weight machines, punching bags, rowing machines, even a climbing wall.  Try them out to see how your character improves.
Yes. Logging out in the street is generally a bad idea, as you can be killed in your sleep. It's always best to log out either in the [[CL|Cube Hotel]], or in your [[Apartments|apartment]] (if you own one).  Type {{cmd|@sethome}} to make it your default home, and {{cmd|@quit}} to quit.


  * Q : How do I cure exhaustion?&lt;BR&gt;
=== When I die, what happens to my stats, money, and inventory? ===
      A : Sit down for a spell.
Your stats will be reset back to what they were the last time you updated your clone. This includes your experience and improvement points as well. You will be charged a fee for each new clone. Your inventory stays with your body. Your money stays safe with you. Your finance chip is automatically updated with your balance when you are cloned. If you have no money when you die, you'll just lose more experience points.


  * Q : What are the easy beasties?&lt;BR&gt;
=== How do I spend XP?  What are XP for? ===
      A : Use the appraise command (appraise &lt;something&gt;) to check something out before attacking. This will give you a general idea of that creature&#39;s power level relative to your own. Also, try the Gein Foundation orphanage, the crack mansion, or just walking around Freedom City killing dogs.

Your inventory stays with your body.  Your money stays safe with you.  Your finance chip is automatically updated with your balance when you are cloned.
Go to Clone Arrangers and type {{cmd|delete}}. Your clone will be deleted and the next time you die you will be back in [[Character Creation|Character Generation]].
