The Banished Sky [homebrew D&D campaign]

Creating your character

Character creation will happen ahead of the game. If you need help making a character, you can message me on Discord and we can work on it together. There will be some Class and Subclass restrictions to fit with the setting: Artificer is a restricted class and requires approval and input from the DM. Barbarians only have the following Path options: Beast, Berserker, Storm Herald (Tundra only), Totem Warrior, Wild Magic Bards only have the following College options: Eloquence, Lore, Spirits, Swords, Valor, Whispers Clerics only have the following Domain options: Light or Peace Druids only have the following Circle options available: Spores, Land, Moon, Wildfire Fighters only have the following Martial Archetypes available: Arcane Archer, Battle Master, Champion, Eldritch Knight, Chemslinger (homebrew variant of the CR Gunslinger), Psi Warrior, Samurai Monks only have the following Monastic Tradition options available: Way of Mercy, Way of Shadow (characters originating in the Pitch only), Way of the Drunken Master, Way of the Four Elements, Way of the Kensei (characters originating in the Adamir Dominion only), Way of the Long Death, Way of the Open Hand, Way of the Sun Soul (characters originating in the Dawnstar Empire only) Paladins only have the following Oath options available: Conquest (characters originating from the Adamir Dominion), Devotion or Crown (characters originating in the Dawnstar Empire), Redemption (characters originating in the Free Farmers Alliance or rogue settlements) Rangers have the following Archetype options only: Beast Master, Drakewarden, Gloom Stalker (characters originating in the Pitch only), Hunter, Monster Slayer, Swarmkeeper Rogues have no subclass restrictions Sorcerors only have the following Sorcerous Origins options available: Aberrant Mind, Draconic Bloodline, Shadow Magic (characters originating in the Pitch only), Storm Sorcery, Wild Magic Warlock is a restricted class and requires approval and input from the DM. Wizards have access to all Arcane Traditions except for School of Conjuration. Summoning magic in the Banished Sky is frowned upon. Beings ripped into the Banished Sky cannot return to their original plane. When a conjured creature dies in the Banished Sky, its essence remains and reforms later as a monstrosity or aberration. The wild skies of the Banished Sky are populated with all sorts of horrors that were once familiars or conjured companion animals. Conjuring is also more difficult, and when a player casts a Conjuration spell, they must roll a d20; on a roll of 1 or 2, the spell fails and spell slot is expended. The only exception to this appears to be Elementals. Spells that rely on interaction from the gods also fail.

Preparing for the session

You will need a decent microphone for Discord chat (preferably set to Push-to-Talk) and a D&D Beyond account. Beyond that, just be ready to have some fun and tell a story together!

What Warren B brings to the table

I have a lot of the 5e sourcebooks on D&D Beyond. There are subclass restrictions based on the setting.

How Warren B creates a safe table

Lines are topics we don't touch on in the game at all. Veils are topics that happen "off-camera"; mentioned but not described. Players can let me know anytime if there are other topics that should be added to the Lines and Veils. Current Lines: sexual violence and harassment Current Veils: torture, violence against children and pets I also have X, N, and O cards for use during play. Players can make use of the safety tools available, and can always message the DM privately if they wish about any issues they might have.
