The Forgotten Land, Barovia

Creating your character

I will provide access to several compendiums for character creation. I will ask questions and guide the player through the process and the party so everything is seamless. Join the discord for more details. Players get 1 free PHB 2024 feat Standard array or point buy Fixed HP. Official DND Beyond material unless otherwise stated.

Preparing for the session

Players will need a mic with good quality. No one wants to listen to chimes, static and random tv shows. We also will use Discord. A link will be provided on approval.

What Dragonborn brings to the table

I will be using VTT it will feature official maps/tokens and other content from the official Module. I also allow other additional options. Last thing I want to do is limit the player freedom. Talk to me and we can go over what is and isn't allowed. I try to do character voices but I am not the best but I try to provide Ambient music and even combat music. I like combat to be thrilling but also tactical combat. Sometimes using Fireball in an open room may not always work XD. RP is really important it helps drive the narrative as to why we even go through the story. Sometimes combat may not happen or vice versa for RP. It depends on the current situation but I try to mix and mash best on the players preferences. I try to stick to the rules of the game but the rule of cool will always stay afront. Of course I do have my limits its important to be quick and efficient, we can't spend 5 minutes of you telling me and the party how you Suplex a guy in the middle of combat.

Homebrew rules

😈 Devilish Reactions (Custom Rule) When a player rolls a Natural 1 on an attack roll, the DM gains 1 Devilish Reaction Point. The DM can spend 1 point to let an enemy immediately use a special reaction — even if they’ve already used one this round. These reactions can include things like: Vicious Riposte: An enemy makes a melee attack against the triggering player. Dark Opportunity: An enemy moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks. Sinister Surge: An enemy gains advantage on its next attack roll or saving throw. Malevolent Magic: A spellcaster enemy immediately casts a cantrip or recharges a feature early. Limit: The DM can hold a maximum of 3 Devilish Reaction Points at a time. Points reset after a long rest or major encounter. They may not always get used to keep the game state flowing This rule adds a touch of chaos and danger — the more you tempt fate, the more the devils grin. 😈 🦸 Heroic Reactions: Players can spend Inspiration to perform a Heroic Reaction — an extraordinary, cinematic action in response to danger. Examples include: Intercepting a deadly blow meant for an ally. Casting a protective spell or ability normally as an action as a reaction to help another such as Cure Wounds Turning a near-failure into a daring success. Maybe an ally failed a saving throw or skill check that would result in their death or a critical situation and you intervened. Heroic Reactions are DM-approved and gained through Natural 20s or outstanding roleplay moments.

How Dragonborn creates a safe table

I will ask players individually on what they do and don't want to see. Perhaps You don't like language? Sexual themes? Horrible situations? Let me know so you are not uncomfortable.
