Participating in the Warcraft Ironman Challenge? This add-on helps you follow the challenge rules and provides a few minor non-combat conveniences.

This has a "warn early, disqualify late" philosophy as well as avoids directly interfering with the player's compliance to the Challenge rules. As soon as a transgression is noticed, it notifies the player so that they may remedy. However, if that transgression is still in effect when Experience Points are gained, it is marked as a disqualification.

This add-on is intended for self-enforcement and does not provide data to the Challenge website. It is not a full specification of the Challenge rules, but an interpretation of them. It is best used to help transition from traditional play habits into Challenge compliant habits. If you are using this add-on to look for a rule loophole or for a formal definition of the Challenge rules, you are probably going against the spirit of the Challenge and the goal of this add-on. Use your best judgement.
