Character creation

Creating your character

Just make lvl 8 character in dnd beyond with no Homebrew. Preferably make character in the new rules but 2014 is fine as well just make sure to share the sheet just so I can give it a once over.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

you'll need join a discord server for voice/video call, and you'll need to have Owlbear rodeo prepared incase a combat occurs. (you'll be sent links for both)

What DarkSamuraiV brings to the table

I do some accents and voices (within my abilities), I use ambient music (i'm new to it so i may mess up the tracks at points), my personal players say im best with designing combats, I think my best points are believable character perspectives (like when the players have all the information, they can understand why/how a npc has done something), and creating a world logic that fits both in narrative and in mechanics, but ig that's up to the player.

Homebrew rules

The only homebrew rule i have is, the find familiar spell cannot summon a medium creature with a fly speed. (This is only to stop someone from abusing niche mechanics)

Safety

How DarkSamuraiV creates a safe table

I will cover any content warnings beforehand, if anyone needs a break outside the scheduled ones, that'll be fine. and I'll do a debrief afterwards for any notes and to see how everyone feels
