Creating your character

A free session zero will be the place to work through character building, outlook, backstory, etc. Feel free to prepare ideas and character sheet before hand. I am happy to help with character concept, refinement, and mechanics that may be unique to my table. I would love to have backstories that attach your character to the world so please send the novel or we can make one during session zero. Starting Level: 1 Stat Generation: Standard Array or Point Buy Hit Points: Max at level 1, fixed average after (Use DnD Beyond's given health) Books Allowed: 5.5e Content, All official 5e content subject to approval. Character Sheets: Created and managed in DnD Beyond. When finalizing your characters, we will do our best to set expectations of where you want your character to go story and build wise.

What Killiyan brings to the table

As a GM, it is my job to ensure that you are enjoying the game as a whole. With the structure of the rules as a guide and the freedom of leaning into Rule of Cool if necessary, I attempt to create engaging and satisfying gameplay. I typically run a more serious game, but laughter and humor have a firm place no matter the stakes of the world. Sometimes you will trip and fall on your face, and it will be hilarious. Key Points: -Roleplay is needed to experience the game to its fullest. Whether you explain your characters actions in third-person, voice a line or two here and there, or come complete with a special voice and character accurate quips, it is all accepted and encouraged. -Combat will feel dangerous and threatening most of the time with later levels having chances of being "EZPZ". Strategy has its place but active combat is quick; 6 seconds of time translated into 1 round of turns. There's no time to ask your party what to do once combat is rolling! Logistics: We will run our game on Roll20 and DnD Beyond. Discussion will be had in Session 0 on topics such as attendance, character creation, and more. Storybased Milestone leveling | Ambient Music | Player Story | Intense Combat | Theatre of the Mind + Battle Maps

Homebrew rules

Potions of Healing Drinking a potion as a bonus action heals as normal—roll the dice. Drinking a potion as an action gives maximum healing—no roll. Example: Potion of Healing (2d4 + 2): Bonus Action = Roll 2d4 + 2 Action = Heal for 10 HP (max)

How Killiyan creates a safe table

Every session will have allotted times to discuss things in the Stars and Wishes format as well as any outright concerns. This will be before and after the session. If concerns arise mid-session, each player is able to request a break to discuss, reach out through private player channels, or voice concerns in the campaign chat; all without scrutiny. I will do my best to create an enjoyable environment that is both thrilling and irl safe. Feedback is strongly encouraged!
