The Twin-Truth Arcana: A Contested Magic School Life

Creating your character

Prior to your first session, create a character of level and wealth matching the party in your game's Foundry server. You can see the current party's composition, as well as any third-party rules in effect, in the "Recruitment Notes" section. Detailed character creation options and restrictions appear in the "Homebrew Rules" section. I also provide a Discord channel where players can plan their characters and coordinate their party composition; feel free to ask any questions you may have there. For character building, I recommend a premium account on Pathbuilder (https://pathbuilder2e.com/), which supports character creation using the table's variant rules and allow for easy import into Foundry via the Pathmuncher module (https://foundryvtt.com/packages/pathmuncher). Pathbuilder files for third-party character options used by the table are available upon request. I can also assist in setting up player characters in Foundry.

Preparing for the session

For the best experience at my table, you'll need: ◆ Foundry Lightweight Client (https://flc.ruleplaying.com/) or a Chromium-based web browser ◆ A Discord account I also recommend: ◆ A mouse and discrete graphics card ◆ Headphones or earbuds ◆ A video camera ◆ A premium account on Pathbuilder (https://pathbuilder2e.com/) If you need any special accommodations for inclusion at my table, please reach out to me and I'll do my best to provide them.

How Saoirse, Veil Adept creates a safe table

This module presents action and adventure that abides by the Pathfinder Baseline guidelines set forth in Player Core (https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2265). Due to its emphasis on student life and interpersonal relationships, players should expect to encounter workplace exploitation, class- and youth-based prejudice in a pluralistic society, and supernatural nightmares. They may optionally choose to engage in romantic relationships with other characters. If you're new to one of my tables, be sure to fill out my entrance survey (accessible through preparation materials), so that the table can account for your lines and veils in advance.
