Baldur’s Nine-Nine: 2024 West Marches Action-Comedy [Level 5-10]

Creating your character

I have pre-made characters for every class. If you’d like to use one, let me know in our Discord server. If you want to create your own character, here are the guidelines: - Level: 5. All new “detectives” start at level 5. - Level Progression: You can progress your character with each completed bounty. Level 10 is the precinct’s cap. Characters typically level up after completing 4-5 bounties. - Allowable Player Options: Use official 2024 content only. Homebrew content is not allowed. - Stats: Use Point Buy or Standard Array - Free Feat: In addition to whatever feat you select for level 4, all players receive the “Harper Feat” from Heroes of Faerun. Instructions for adding this additional feat is available in our Discord. Links to the Discord and DnDBeyond campaign will be provided after booking. - Starting Equipment: Use standard starting equipment OR starting gold. Regardless of your choice, you have an additional 100gp to spend on non-magical gear. - Magic Item: Choose 1 uncommon magic item from any official 2024 sourcebook. Permanent items only; no consumables like potions or scrolls.

Preparing for the session

To play, you will need the following: 1. A microphone 2. Headphones to prevent echoes 3. A laptop or desktop computer 4. A reliable Internet connection 5. A free DnDBeyond account 6. A free Discord account 7. Cameras are optional. (I will have mine on!) To join our game, follow these steps: 1. Join our Discord server. A link will be provided after booking. Tag me in the #👋welcome channel and tell me which game you’re joining. 2. Join the DnD Beyond Campaign. A link will be provided after booking. 3. If you use the Beyond20 browser extension, disable it for the duration of our game. Temporarily disabling Beyond20 ensures that your rolls will appear in the game log on DnD Beyond.

What Kat brings to the table

I will provide maps on D&D Beyond, immersive music, and narrative-driven combat. I do my best to provide character voices for NPCs. As for rules, we'll be using the Rule of Cool for the most part.

Homebrew rules

Perkins Critical Hits: Roll once, then add the maximum possible damage for the damage die. (E.g. If you rolled a critical hit for your longsword attack, your damage will be 1d8 + 8 + your modifier.) Concentration Checks: If you roll a natural 20 on a concentration check, you enter a state of "Perfect Focus." For the rest of this combat, damage can no longer force you to make concentration saves for that specific spell. Your concentration will only end if the spell’s duration expires, you cast another concentration spell, or you are incapacitated.

How Kat creates a safe table

A link to our Lines and Veils document is available in the #🏁start-here channel on Discord. If you have any lines or veils you'd like to add to your game, DM me. No need to explain anything at all. I will anonymously add them to the list for our game to ensure the whole group is on the same page—no questions asked. We will also use X-Cards. If a scene or description makes you uncomfortable, simply type "X" in the text chat or say "Pause." We will immediately stop, skip the scene, or adjust the narrative—no questions asked and no explanation needed. You may DM me the X if you prefer. I’m very good at changing gears on a dime, and we’ll move on immediately.
