Strange Aeons: The Heart of Madness

Creating your character

This campaign has dozens of custom classes, species, archtypes, backgrounds, feats, spells, etc. All of which are available on my Discord server for all players. We will discuss character creation options once you have signed up and had a chance to browse the discord a bit.

You will need the following: ✦ Fantasy Grounds Unity installed and operational. ✦ Discord, installed and ready to use for voice. ✦ Proper Quality Mic with headset. ✦ High Speed Internet Connection. I do not live stream or record any sessions without prior player consent.

Homebrew rules

Lingering Injuries: Whenever you drop to 0 hit points AND you fail a DC 13 constitution save, you receive a random injury dependent on the damage type that brought you down. If it was a critical hit that brought you down then you automatically fail this check. Initiative: We reroll imitative every round of combat, this is handled directly by Fantasy Grounds. Morale: Creatures make morale checks when faced with overwhelming odds and might flee the battle. Delay Turn: When it is your turn in a round you can opt to act later in the round by declaring a lower initiative. Emanation Effects: Once per round damage is the maximum. Skill/Knowledge Checks: You must be proficient in a knowledge or tool to use it. Critical Hits: On a critical hit, the damage is maximum damage plus another die roll instead of doubling dice. Potions of Healing: Using an action to consume a Potion of Healing grants its user the maximum number of recovered hit points. If using a bonus action to consume the healing potion, roll for results. It is a bonus action to drink a potion but still requires a regular action to administer one to someone else. Flanking: When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and positioned on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy. Attack rolls made by flankers against a flanked enemy have a +2 bonus. A creature does not grant flanking bonus if it is incapacitated, frightened, restrained, or grappled.

How BWatford creates a safe table

Respectful Environment: I enforce a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior. All players must respect each other’s pronouns, playstyles, and contributions, creating a collaborative vibe. Inclusivity: I welcome players of all experience levels, ensuring newbies feel supported with D&D 5E mechanics and veterans can shine tactically. I’ll provide pre-generated characters if desired or guide character creation to help new players.
