Gold & Bones: A Greyhawk Campaign | LGBTQ+ | 2024 D&D

Creating your character

OVERVIEW. - The campaign begins at level 1. - Ability Scores will be rolled together during Session 0 (roll 4d6 and drop the lowest). Rolled stats can be replaced with the Standard Array. - Hit Points use the fixed value only. - Character options are limited to 2024 Player's Handbook materials only. EQUIPMENT. You begin with standard starting equipment, as described in the Player's Handbook. Players will quickly earn more loot from there. CHARACTER SHEETS. Create your character in the D&D Beyond campaign (will be linked here on Startplaying.) I have content sharing enabled with many character options purchased for you to use for free. In addition, I can import your character from D&D Beyond into the Foundry VTT. OPTIONAL: If you are rolling in D&D Beyond, you can have those rolls appear in the Foundry VTT through the Beyond20 Browser Extension, linked below.

Homebrew rules

Ticking Clock. You have 2 minutes to complete your turn plus 30 seconds if you control another creature or Action Surge. Unless you have a rules question or technical difficulties, your turn will be skipped. At the start of your turn, you can take a Reaction to delay your Initiative. Flanking. Flanking provides a +2 bonus to an attack roll. To flank an enemy, you and an ally must be adjacent to the enemy and on opposite sides of the enemy’s space. You and your ally must be able to attack without Disadvantage. If there’s a barrier between your enemy and either you or your ally, you don’t flank. If you are affected by a condition that prevents you from taking actions, you don’t flank. Tumble Through. Allies are Difficult Terrain. To move through a creature's space you normally couldn't (such as an enemy your size), roll an Acrobatics/Athletics check. On a failure, your Speed is 0 for the rest of the turn. Heroic Inspiration. Reroll with Advantage/Disadvantage if you did so initially. Once Inspiration is used, it can't affect the same roll again. You can use Inspiration to allow an ally to reroll (but not an enemy). If you roll a nat 1, you gain Inspiration.

How Sovaelis creates a safe table

Any bigotry or prejudice, such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, or misogyny, are unacceptable. Such behavior will lead to an immediate removal without refund and a ban from all future games hosted by this GM. All necessary links will be available here on Startplaying once you have joined. Safety tools will be reviewed during Session 0 and are available to be referenced at any time on the Discord server. The Consent Checklist will be made available after joining and is expected to be filled out before Session 0. During Session 0, we will discuss expectations, player wants and needs, and develop characters (including backstories, connections to the City of Greyhawk, and connections to other characters.) Come to Session 0 with 1-2 characters you're ready and excited to play, and be open to flexibility and collaboration.
