(Speedy will be considered the updated version of Mobile) -You MAY still use other pre-2024 material [For example; half-orc, blood hunter (any subclass) or goblin, cleric, tempest domain], provided they did not receive a 2024 update -Excluded species: Homebrew, Custom Lineage, any race from Spelljammers, Humblewood, Book of Ebon Tides, or Crooked Moon - all other species are fine. -May use any background, but if NOT using a background that grants an Origin feat (as specified in the PHB 2024), manually add an origin feat of your choice (everyone should have an origin feat at level 1). -Good and Neutral aligned characters *only* -Use starting equipment for your class and background. Gold and equipment can be exchanged for any other mundane item of equal value. -You may add 1 common magic item of your choice (as well as any item or gold value specified in the specific one-shot).

Homebrew rules

-Healing Potions can be drunk or administered to another creature as a bonus action according to the 2024 rules, but choosing to do so as an action instead will guarantee max possible healing from the potion. -When landing a critical hit, rather than roll the damage die twice, we will instead roll like normal and add the max damage for the die -Heroic Inspiration can be used to reroll 1 d20 roll, 1 damage die roll, or force 1 enemy to reroll 1 saving throw that you inflict on them. -If a creature near you is subjected to a DEX saving throw - As a reaction, you can move up to half your movement speed to position yourself within between that creature and the source of the damage (and within 5ft of said creature) effectively shielding them with your body - this will ensure they pass their DEX save but also ensure that you fail your own. -Creativity is encouraged, but be sure to be mindful and respectful of the other people at the table. -Multi-classing is allowed (provided stat score minimums are met without the use of magic items)
