Odyssey of the Dragonlords

Creating your character

Up-to-date and thorough character creation doc: https://www.legendkeeper.com/app/cmnxqfnh00bu30jk9ck2a625g • Choose from 2014 or 2024 rules. • Start at Level 2. • Background feat from Level 1 (2024-style). You can customize your background. • Use my custom array: 18, 17, 16, 13, 11, 8 (distribute in your choice of order) • Choose two uncommon and two common magic items from any WotC source. • Start with starting equipment AND starting gold. • You may choose from all races, classes, backgrounds, and other PC options in any officially released D&D 5e product. (see below for custom/homebrew/third-party/unearthed arcana). • Character options from Odyssey of the Dragonlords are also encouraged and allowed. While D&D Beyond doesn't have these, you can mainly use it for a placeholder.

Preparing for the session

This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. All playing will be done by text, making things accessible for those who aren't able to use voice. I will update at least daily. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. You do not need to know Avrae, or any of the other tools. I can teach you. As long as I have access to your character sheet, you can roll using Avrae, Roll20, D&D Beyond, the in-Discord dice bot, or your own dice. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ ✅ Join D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/ ✅ Link your D&D Beyond account to Discord: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account Once you sign up, message me. I will link you to the Discord (you can also find it below). From there, we can get you prepared. The game itself will start once everyone is ready (you will not be charged until we begin). This game uses its own discord. Find the link below - ⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/mbgnJdDb7E

What Dreams & Eni brings to the table

Enigma, your DM, brings over 20 years of text roleplay experience and utilizes various tools to craft an unforgettable experience as he blends his skills with forum-based roleplay as well as dice-based roleplay. In his games, you can expect: 🔹 Personalized character backstories woven into a unique narrative 🔹 A dynamic world that reacts to the party's choices and interactions 🔹 Engaging and challenging combat with boons, magic items, and scaled monsters 🔹 NPCs with distinct personalities and motivations, offering opportunities for friendships, rivalries, and even romance (with consent) 🔹 Customized rivals to oppose the party at every turn 🔹 Additional monsters from various sources and custom content from the DM and third-parties 🔹 Pre-generated characters or concepts for those who prefer not to create their own Dreams will bring their knowledge of Avrae VTT and share resources with Enigma to enhance the overall experience.

Homebrew rules

Spells will be the 2024 versions with the following changes: 🔷 Paladin's Divine Smite is not a bonus action (but a free action). It is also not a leveled spell. 🔷 Spiritual Weapon is not concentration. 🔷 For the 2024 Hexblade, Hex is non-concentration. Other Homebrew/Custom rules: 🔷 Flanking provides advantage. 🔷 Scrolls can be used by anyone. Arcana DC: 10 + spell level 🔷 Critical damage: maximum on the second damage dice. (Will change this if players vote against it.) 🔷 I can include Critical Hit/Fumble tables if players want. They can only happen to a character once per round.
