✨ Precious Destinies ✨ - A Steven Universe Inspired Campaign

Creating your character

If you need assistence with character creation, if you don't know how to do it or have another issue, feel free to message me and I'll help. Likewise, if the text below is too much or you don't know what it means, you can ignore it and I'll assist you in character creation at Session 0. For character creation: ✨ 5e Rules. ✨ Level 3. ✨ Point Buy (Max 18, Min 6). All stats start at 8, distribute 27 points among them, you may lower stats to gain additional points. You may also roll your stats instead. ✨ Only gem or human characters. ✨ When creating a character, choose a positive and a negative Drive. A Drive is a character's main trait or reason to act, such as: Stubborn, Kind, Overly Trusting, Vengeful etc. ✨ Any gem, except diamond, is allowed. If you want to create a new kind of gem, use the ones in the gem race PDF as inspiration and send me it to review, or ask me for assistance. ✨ Preferably martial characters, though spellcasters are allowed. ✨ As a gem, you initially get the Gem Weapon feat and must choose your gem weapon. If you’re a spellcaster, you may pick a +1 Arcane Focus instead of one of the Gem Weapon options. ✨ No healing spells, healing abilities (5+ HP) reform poofed gems to 1 HP instead of healing once per gem per combat. ✨ No spellcasting humans. ✨ If you’d like to play a fusion, do the same as if you are creating a new kind of gem, and remember to choose your components*. * Fusion characters do not have innate buffs compared to single-gem or human characters, unless every player is fine with it. If you make sheets for your components, they must be level 1. Characters can be built before the game or at session 0.

Preparing for the session

Have a Discord and a Roll20 account. Having at least a concept for a character before session 0 is also helpful.

What Jade Rossus brings to the table

RP Enhancers: ✨ Character voices. ✨ Ambient and background music. ✨ Location Maps and background visualizers. ✨ Lots of developed NPCs and characters from the show. ✨ Mysteries (Oooohh). ✨ Very lore accurate. Game Enhancers: ✨ Combat maps and tokens. ✨ Brand new monsters and enemies. ✨ Homebrew race and rules. ✨ Balance of combat, exploration and puzzles. Regarding Rule of Cool / Rules as Written, considering this is supposed to be a more lighthearted campaign, Rule of Cool will have its place in it, though NPCs and monsters will mostly act with Rules as Written.

Homebrew rules

Docs with all the Custom rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UIx--MDEhlhnxR2ytrQp_fECNIaGOctMLiuAYzDPk18/edit?tab=t.0 Gem race and subraces: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Umm7-hsUCs5vGYPfD81d1BAP77trRun0/view Gem feats: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jBsalLmCxVla4cY4ZbR9jvrIJVUSRMyY/view Most important rules: ✨ Gem race and subraces. ✨ Poofed gems do not gain a fail on their death saves if they roll 10 or below. They only gain a fail if their gemstone is hit by an attack. ✨ A poofed gem can only reform (1 HP) after getting 3 successes on death saving throws and not be constrained or held by an enemy. If downed again, the amount of successes needed in the combat increases by 1. ✨ Singing as an action grants a major buff or narrative control, but can only be used once per player character until every character has sung, NPCs and Villains can also sing. Specifics for the Sing Action is in the Homebrew Docs.

How Jade Rossus creates a safe table

Session 0 will go over topics that are fine with everyone and the ones that should be avoided. Some of the Content Warnings in this game are optional, and we will go over if any needs to be removed. I will also send you a link to a forms where you may put your personal Lines and Veils and information about yourself you'd like me and the other players know. There will also be a channel on the discord to input your X, N & O cards that only you and I can see. And we'll take a 5-10 minutes break after every hour. Aftercare and Stars and Wishes will be mixed together at the end, lasting about 15 minutes after the session is over. If either feels like it needs time outside the game, feel free to message me, I will do the same if I feel some sort of tension or if I want to know something you liked or disliked about the adventure.
