About the adventure
Have you ever wanted to attend a school for those with magical gifts? Have you ever wanted to mix scenarios that have an emphasis on classes/exams with open world or emergent game play? This is the one for you. For those that haven't played Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos, it is a module for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons that features a magical school called Strixhaven, kind of like Hogwarts but for DnD. What many people have said though, is despite the campaign being set in a school, the book doesn't provide a lot of material for taking classes and exams beyond a few simple rolls, relying more on the rest of the story to carry things forward. I personally think it would be great to have more solid mechanics around taking classes, performing well in them and being rewarded for doing so. Players will be able to take classes and exams while also having an emerging story take place alongside those classes that draws the party together. If you have played Hogwarts: Legacy, then you have an idea of what I mean. The length of this campaign with also be increased, instead of the estimated 8-12 sessions, it could run for up to a full year, or more with weekly sessions. If you enjoy a more hearty wizarding school experience, this is a great option. Join me as we work together to create a curriculum you will enjoy, and create the systems and mechanics that are rewarding for all.

How will character creation work
Character Options: All character types and class combos from any official D&D source book! Third Party content is subject to approval, simply because I have not reviewed them all. These include all 3rd party content from DnD Beyond including but not limited to: Critical Role, Dungeon Dudes/Drakkenheim, Grim Hollow, etc etc. Basically any official species/race is permitted as Strixhaven attracts the magically gifted from all corners. ---------------- Starting Level: 1 Ending Level: 10 ---------------- 2024 vs 2014 characters: I believe players should be allowed to stay with 2014 rules if they wish, its basically a different edition but WOTC (creators of DnD) refuse to label it as such. So for this campaign, you can choose to make a fully 2024 or fully 2014 character. Keep in mind that you cannot choose 2024 options if you are playing a fully 2014 character. This includes to fancy new weapon masteries, updated class/subclass options, updated feats list, etc etc. 2024 characters however can access any parts of 2014 that have not been updated, including subclasses. Banned Spells, Features and Traits: While I don't really want to outright ban any options, I do think some could pose a problem if used excessively. If that becomes the case, I will work with you to help tune the spell or features in such a way that they are still fun and engaging, without ruining content for others. I hope you understand!
