The Finishers | A Jaunt Through History | Level 5

Creating your character

During our Session 0, we will discuss character backstories and personalities, player expectations / desires, and walk through character creation in Foundry. Characters will begin at Level 2 with a feat of their choice from my collection on Foundry. If we play a few sessions and you realize you picked the wrong class, that's okay; We can change it up. It is far more important to me that your character sheet is reflecting your vision of the character than being strict. We will also be using Milestone leveling for this campaign, so we won't be tracking individual Experience Points; Players will level up after specific milestones, which will typically be when the player characters return to stasis after a quest.

Preparing for the session

You will need: - A mic - A space to play with minimal background noise - A laptop or PC (Foundry does not work well on mobile) - A Discord account You may want to: - Think about your character ahead of time. This isn't just some adventurer, this is someone who was well-known in the kingdom, and willing to completely surrender their life to it. - Consider if there is a story direction you want said character to go in, or an area you want to explore that I should know about

What Cruxien, Orange Wizard brings to the table

This game will be hosted on Foundry VTT, and will feature many of my own original maps as well as the masterful ones from Cze & Peku. I have detailed information on all supported classes, spells, feats, etc. in the Foundry instance for easy access, including source books from MCDM, Kobold Press, and even a few official 5e products... which I use... sometimes. Besides all those, I do a lot of my own homebrewing to keep things interesting. If you know 5e back-to-front and don't want it changing, you might want to look elsewhere. I also utilize background music and do character voices. While it is not required for you to speak in-character, for this particular campaign it is recommended to at least have a good idea of your character's inner world as it is very important to the story.

Homebrew rules

🤹 Ability Score Improvements. When determining your character’s ability scores, you are granted two +2 increases (or four +1 increases / one +2 and two +1s) instead of using the one granted by your character’s fantasy race. 🪄 Custom Spell Lists. This campaign has its own spell lists with minor alterations and additions. These lists will include all 5e spells (as well as new ones), but slightly alter which classes get which spells (to improve niche protection). 👊 Critical Hits. When rolling damage for a critical hit, double the results of your die rolls instead of rolling more dice. This doubling is performed before any modifiers are added to the roll(s). 🍾 Drinking Potions. You may drink a potion as a Bonus Action rather than a full Action. Administering a potion to an ally still requires a full Action. 📜 Spell Scrolls. When using a spell scroll, the spell does not need to be on your class’ spell list. Checks to cast higher level spells still apply.

How Cruxien, Orange Wizard creates a safe table

Session 0 will contain some information about the setting, the type of games I run, character creation, and account setup for my Foundry instance. X, N & O cards are used through private messaging. We will also be taking a break at the halfway point of each session.
