About the adventure
A local rock dwarf has offered you all a job in the city of Neverwinter, leading the party onto the trail of something much grander than themselves. Finding themselves in a quaint little town known as Phandelin, will the party survive this ever growing web that slowly is choking out the sword coast? This is a HARDCORE campaign, with additional rules for gameplay and character creation. Hardcore Rules: Character Creation - Player's Handbook only for Character Creation. No alternative variations. - You cannot choose any variants. - You choose Race first. If your race allows for a selection of racial bonuses, you must choose them at this point. - Ability scores are rolled 3d6. - You must roll in Stat order. STR > DEX > CON > INT > WIS > CHAR - You may now pick your background. - You may now pick your class. - All hit points are rolled (including level 1). You cannot take average. - You must roll starting gold. - You are free to reroll your character, but you MUST accept whatever the new character is - Your original character is killed, and your new character must have a tie in with your original - You must value your character's life, and cannot try to kill off your character in order to roll a new one. - Keep track of all ability scores and hit points. - If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you suffer a lingering injury - Death saves are private, between only the GM and the player
