Creating your character

Character creation will be done using the Lamentations of the flame princess rulebook starting at level 1. Clerics, Elves and Halflings will not be used. Additional character classes and races will be provided within the game server for your perusal. If you want a quick character, a link to a character generator will be provided!

Preparing for the session

Players should have their character (And a back up character if they so wish) ready for the game. You should have a roll20 account. You will be provided with a invite to the game and the Discord server upon joining.

What Morgan Marshall brings to the table

I am a man who loves it when players get invested into a game, be it through mechanics or engaging with the world wholesale. I enjoy acting out characters, bringing ambient music and providing a solid adventure for my players. I also provide maps and tokens for the journey, along with all pdf books and rules for easy access and reference.

Dwarfs recover 1+Con modifier per day without bed rest with no check necessary. They recover 1d4+Con modifier per day with bed rest. They consider taking time off for healing lazy and will not do so unless severely wounded. Negative Con modifiers will cancel out healing or cause loss of hp instead as the wound worsens over time, reflecting infection and general lack of Healing knowledge. Dwarfs are never affected by a negative Con modifier. Healing 1 in 6 for all characters. Specialists may increase the skill normally. A subject may only benefit from healing once per day. Successful use of Healing skill negates Con penalties during healing. Attempts made without specialist's tools have a maximum 2 in 6 chance of success, regardless of skill level (SL).

Surgery - Requires the use of surgical tools, which cost the same as Specialist tools and at least 2 assistants to hold the patient down. (alcohol is the closest there is to anesthesia) This can be used to deliver babies when a Healing roll is unsuccessful or when the pregnant patient is male. It can also be used to heal 1d4+Skill Points+Constitution modifier Hit points damage on someone for whom the Healing Skill roll has failed. If a Surgery Skill roll fails, the patient dies. Fighters Fight Good Rules Cleave Whenever a fighter kills or otherwise disables a foe with a melee attack, they may immediately make an additional melee attack against another foe, provided the new foe is within 5 feet reach. A fighter may attempt as many such additional cleaving attacks as his level, minus one (ie, total number of possible attacks is equal to level). Devastating Blows Whenever you land a hit and your modified attack roll is higher than 20, you deal an extra amount of damage equal to your attack roll-20. In addition Berserkers now add their d4 to damage in addition to their attack bonus

How Morgan Marshall creates a safe table

I am always happy to listen to my players to any concerns they may have, and will make reasonable accommodations when needed. I also am very transparent on what content will be in the game. Additionally I will be modifying the Rituals to be less... seedy. They will still be dark horrific things but they will not be distasteful for a lack of a better term.
