🔶 Curse of Strahd

Creating your character

✅ For experienced players, characters will be created in D&DBeyond. A campaign link will be provided that has access to all authorized content. All players are required to create their characters within this campaign vice bringing in characters from their personal D&DBeyond accounts. This prevents the introduction of unauthorized content into the campaign. ✅ As a new player, creating a character can be intimidating. Four pre-generated characters will be available to choose from if you don't want to create your own. ✅ Take this quick personality test. It will provide you four options that best suites your personality type. https://dungeons-and-dragons-mbti.netlify.app/ ✅ I will walk you through how to use the character sheet during our 1-1 introductory meeting.

Homebrew rules

✅ Enemy Initiative. Vice making "one roll for an entire group of identical creatures," initiative will be rolled for each individual creature or in some cases, for "a formation" of enemy combatants. ✅ Hit Dice Vice rolling the dice after a short rest, you can apply the "average" hit dice value + constitution modifier (same rule used for adding HPs when leveling up). ✅ Break Out. Some monster effects that remove a player's ability to take an action by causing them to be paralyzed, charmed, stunned, etc. for the duration of the spell can be "broken" by suffering psychic damage instead. The player roles a d4. The damage taken is a percentage of hit points remaining (e.g. if a player has 20 HP left and roles a 2 on the d4, that represents a loss of 20% of 20 HP which equals 4 HP of psychic damage to break the spell) ✅ Flanking Flanking confers a +2 bonus to attack rolls instead of advantage ✅ Death Saves Death saving throws are done privately ✅ Vicious Mockery or Tasha’s Hideous Laughter If you use vicious mockery or Tasha’s hideous laughter and your joke/insult makes me laugh, the target gets no saving throw.
