Midgard - Become a viking and worship norse gods!

Creating your character

Stats. You don't roll dice for your character, instead, you use a slightly better version of the standard array. Those statistics are still affected by your species bonuses. 16, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Species You need to chose a species from one among those: some are heavly modified to better fit norse myths. You can even choose 2 and make a combination known as a mixed-blood.  Ljósálfar (elf)  Dökkálfar (dark elf)  Mannfolk (Human)  Dvergar (Dwarf)  Dökkdvergar (Grey dwarf)  Troll  Jötun (giant)  Werefolk (werewolf/boar/bear)  Marfolk (merfolk/siren) Youth You need to chose a youth from among those that follow. They are knocked down background that better fits the yougn age of your characters.  Amateur  Apprentice  Brave  Researcher  Crook  Faithful  Knowledgeable  Seaman  Orphan  Pariah  Fisherman  Recluse  Recruit  Wanderer Class You can choose from any class from this list. Some have been modified and some I created.  Barbarian  Swashbuckler (homebrew)  Cleric  Druid  Srocerer  Fighter  Wizard  Warlock  Paladin  Ranger  Rogue  Bard  Spellblade (homwbrew) Devotion and piety When you make your character, you can choose if he or she (or other) worship one of the foloowing gods. If you dont want to chose yet, dont worry, you can devout yourself to a diety in game! You also gain a piety value, wich is a modifier that you apply to every devotion you gain.  Freya  Heimdall  Loki  Mímir  Njörd  Odin  Thor  Tyr  Skadi Language You dont learn languages as usual in midgard. Instead, your youth and species give you language points that you can spend to learn to speak or write/read a language from the following:  Norse  Lfar  Rgar  Dökke  Jöt  Mar  Aesir  Vanir  Helir You start at level 1. If you have questions or need help, I can awnser anything and I will help everyone in the session 0.

Preparing for the session

I use Roll20 to play the game (I have maps, monster and NPC token, etc.) so you must have an account. If you dont already have one and dont know how to make one, we can take a moment during the session 0 to do so. Even if I love Roll20, I find that using discord for our voice is way better. There will be a dedicated discord server for our communication. I will have my webcam, but I dont require everyone to have it. If we do see you cool! I willl most likely look at you while anwsering a question you asked an NPC, otherwise, dont worry, I will stare at your profile icon, it dosent bother me.

What Vincent brings to the table

I try to mix combat and roleplay at equal parts and creative thinking is rewarded! I try to stay by the rules, but let the rule of cool take over by moment in intense situation so that rules dont impeach play but enchance it.

Homebrew rules

This game uses a lot of homebrew to better fit the world. Here are some minor changes: -Bonus action healing potion -Secret death save -You can see how much other creatures are hurt. (Full health, above 50%, above 25%, under 25%) For major changes, I use inspiration to reroll any D20 your character use and regain it when you get a Nat 1. Survival is harder. Rations goes bad after 3, 5, or 90 days depending on the type, you'll need a special hunting, gathering or fishing kit to find food in nature. Some classes start with and have masteries in certain kit (Ranger are proficient in the hunter kit and start with one). Long rests give less health and no hit dice nor does it reduce exaushtion level, making long journey way more dangerous. You will need a Shelter rest (a long rest in a safe place, with warmth, confort and food) to regain hit dice and reduce exaushtion. You can get and inflict lingering injuries resulting in the loss of a hand, an eye or an entire leg! Finaly there are advance fighting syle, basicly fighting style that grow stronger with the level of the character, acting as a mini second subclass for martial character.

How Vincent creates a safe table

In session 0, all will fill a sheet containing a lot of topics that you can mark as line or veil. They will be anonymous and I will adapt my GMing to your answers. At any time, you can message me anytime using the X, N & O's system to show that you are uncomfortable with content diplayed, even if you marked it as ok beforehand.
