What Unicorn brings to the table

I will be providing players with maps and music to help enhance storytelling and immersion. Each player will have access to my compendium on D&D Beyond, and I will be creating tokens for the players to utilize on Roll20. I will also be providing between-session roleplay opportunities that are optional but available and highly encouraged for players to participate in at their leisure.

Homebrew rules

Nat 20 rules: - On a save, if you get a nat 20 you take no damage - On initiative, if you get a nat 20 you react so quickly, you get a surprise attack round - On a save for an effect, you become immune to that effect (ie if something were to poison you, you are immune to that effect for the scene) - If you get a nat 20 on initiative, you get a surprise round - On an attack, you do max damage plus normal rolled damage Potion Rules: - Administering a potion to someone else is an action - Drinking a potion is a bonus action - Passing a potion to someone else is a bonus action Talking During Combat: - Talking is a free action unless you are trying to accomplish something. If you wish to make a roll to achieve that goal, it is an action. Leveled Spells: - You may use multiple leveled spells on a turn, so long as they are within the player's action economy (i.e. You can cast guiding bolt as an action and healing word as a bonus action on the same turn) Rolling: - You may use physical dice as long as you call out what you have rolled

How Unicorn creates a safe table

We will be using X, N, & O cards that will be direct messaged to the DM for discretion. We also have breaks as needed throughout the session, with a minimum of one break per session. At the end of the session, the group participates in a debriefing to check in on how everyone is feeling, likes, dislikes, and what they want to see more or less of. Each player will have a private channel they are welcome to use to communicate with the DM directly. It is there to keep an open door and encourage a safe space for communication. In that channel, there will be a link to the lines and veils document that each player is required to fill out before they are able to sit at the table. In session zero, we will review the collective anonymous lines and veils for the table as well as how to utilize each of the safety tools.
