Shadows of Cinderfell

Creating your character

Stats: 4d6 drop the lowest Any official dnd content is available, I also have a number of homebrew races, subclasses, and backgrounds that will be available

Preparing for the session

We will use roll20 and discord for this so be sure to have those accounts created We will also have a session zero for this game that will be free so that we can go over character creation and get a feel for the type of game the group wants to play to make sure that we all have the best experience and all the fun!

What Reina brings to the table

I’m no Matt Mercer but I have a few voices in rotation, I utilize background music and for this setting I create most of the battle maps as well as hand drew the city and world maps

Homebrew rules

In addition to natural 1's and 20's being an auto miss and critical hit for attacks, they are a critical failure and critical success on skill checks and saving throws, which can result in extra things happening depending on the situation. Drinking a potion is a bonus action Called shots: use your action to make one attack at disadvantage, if the attack hits it’s a guaranteed critical hit. Critical Hits: Critical Hits double ALL damage, including the modifiers, not just the dice rolled. One last spell: Last ditch effort to cast a spell when no spell slots remain, the caster may make an arcana check to attempt to cast a spell for which they have no remaining spell slots. The DC for this check is 8 + twice the spells level. Failing results in gaining between 1-3 levels of exhaustion depending on the level of the spell. Level 1-3: 1 level of exhaustion Level 4-6: 2 levels of exhaustion Level 7-9: 3 levels of exhaustion There’s a whole new mechanic for cybernetic type enhancements that we’ll go over in session zero Injuries: Different circumstances may cause a character to get injured, if so that character rolls on the injury table, or the DM may assign an injury that fits the circumstance. A character my suffer an injury in the following instances: Critical Hit: If a character his struck with a critical hit, they make a Constitution saving throw (DC=10+1/2 damage received) or suffer an injury Massive Damage: If a character takes damage equal to half their maximum HP or more in one hit they must make a DC 15 CON save or suffer an injury (if the damage is dealt by a critical hit, the critical hit dc supercedes the massive damage DC and they only take one injury) Zero HP: If a character falls to zero hp they take an injury Failing Death Saves: Each failed death saving throw adds an injury (no more than one per turn)

How Reina creates a safe table

I have a consent checklist that will be sent out to the players to be filled out and returned, this form will have a number of topics as well as space to add anything that's not included, and three options Green = Enthusiastic consent; bring it on!, Yellow = Okay if veiled or offstage; might be okay onstage but requires discussion ahead of time; uncertain., Red = Hard line; do not include. We'll have a session 0 to go over everything as well as breaks for sessions that are particularly heavy. I'm also going to stick around after the session ends in case anyone needs talk about anything that happened afterwords and make adjustments for next session if necessary. All that said, this is a gritty, dystopian setting that will often have parallels with some modern politics and conflicts. The setting and tone include things such as dystopian corporate oppression, extreme class disparity, violence, potential body horror, body modification, loss of bodily autonomy (no SA will ever be included in any of my games). Themes may include exploitation of labour, Militarised police/corporate security, black market dealings, potential starvation/resource scarcity and more.
