Creating your character

Characters will be created beforehand! My DMs will be open for any questions concerning character creation if the list below needs clarification. You can use any source you have at your disposal for creation(besides homebrew); however, if you have limited resources or would just like to explore my sources, I will provide a D&D Beyond campaign link with content sharing enabled. We’ll be at level 5. Use the standard array 18/16/14/12/12/10 Encumbrance does not apply here. Take max total HP. You can have: 1 Greater Healing Potion 1 Rare or 2 Uncommon Items All beginning equipment

Preparing for the session

You will need a Discord account! If you plan on utilizing my resources on D&D Beyond then you will also need an account to access that. You will not need an account for Owlbear Rodeo (the VTT) but you can create one for free if you'd like.

What E.M. brings to the table

I do embrace the Rule of Cool and I love entertaining out-of-the-box ideas or creative solutions. I am not very good at most accents but I am quite good at embodying the personalities and mannerisms of NPCs. I want my players to have fun first and foremost and I will certainly forego a rule in favor of fun. This one-shot will be combat-heavy but teamwork will play a big part. TTRPG is collaborative storytelling at its finest and I want to write this story together.

Homebrew rules

1) Giving or taking a healing potion can be an action or bonus action. If you want the max amount of heal, it’s an action. If you just wanna roll, it’s a bonus action. 2) Critical attack roll damage is the max damage plus the rolled damage. For example: 1d6+2 would be 8 + 1d6 + 2. 3) Death save fails gain 2 levels of exhaustion, up to 6 which is death. These do stack. So if you go down, fail a death save, are brought back up and then go back down and fail another, you’re at 4 levels of exhaustion. 4) And finally. No Lucky feat allowed. Instead, whenever you fail a saving throw or miss an attack roll, you gain one luck point up to 5. You can spend luck points to add to a roll (for example, you roll a 14 and add one luck point for 15) or you can spend 3 luck points to reroll but you must take the new roll. (ToV mechanic I've adopted.)

How E.M. creates a safe table

I will have two Google form links pinned in the Discord chat; one that has an RPG Consent Checklist and one that will allow players to submit any concerns, questions, wishes for content or roleplay, etc. We will have Owlbear Rodeo up during the entire session and I have added an extension that allows a player to privately send me a yellow exclamation point or a red X if they are uncomfortable with any content being presented. Whenever this happens, I will find a stopping place to take a break so the player and I can talk individually before we return to session.
