Ravenloft - PbP (Asynchronous) - Treacherous Blood (Level 9)

Creating your character

I absolutely love Character Creation - this will happen on Roll20 prior to our first session where we will work together to build the character that you want to play.

Preparing for the session

I will have a private chat with each player discussing the themes of the game and how to make their characters if they're unfamiliar with Roll20. A free Discord & Roll20 is all the player needs to have set-up to join!

What Wildflower brings to the table

I use Roll20 for all of my D&D games and have an extensive compendium of classes, races, and subclasses to choose from for character creation. I use excellent maps from Ori the Cartographer & Cze + Peku for our combat sessions.

Homebrew rules

Critical Damage When you land a critical hit, it’s a moment of glory! Critical damage is calculated by adding your rolled damage plus the maximum of your damage die. Example: A crit with a weapon dealing 1d8 would be your roll + 8 (the max for a d8). Health Potions Bonus Action: Drinking a health potion as a bonus action means you must roll for the amount healed. Full Action: Taking your full action to use a potion lets you heal the maximum amount. Example: A standard potion of healing (2d4+2) will restore 10 HP when using a full action. Handing someone a potion in combat is a bonus action! Flanking When you and an ally are flanking (opposite sides) of an enemy you can get +1 to attacks. No PvP Player vs. Player combat is not allowed. We're here to adventure together, not against each other. Cooperation and teamwork are the heart of our stories. Alignment Restrictions Evil alignments are not permitted, unless the entire party agrees to play an evil campaign. We aim for harmony and shared goals, ensuring that every adventurer has a role in the group's story. Tactical Combat & Holding Initiative Tactical combat is encouraged! Players can work together in battle, and you’re allowed to hold your turn to act simultaneously with another player. Use this to coordinate devastating combos and work together as a team! No Meta-Gaming: Please keep player knowledge and character knowledge separate. Looking up monster stats during the game can spoil surprises and take away from the fun of discovery. Trust me to balance encounters, I promise your characters will always have a fair shot! Equipping & Unequipping Weapons: Once combat begins, the weapon you start your turn with is the one you fight with. You cannot swap from a two-handed weapon to dual wielding (or vice versa) during your turn. You may only switch weapons freely if both are one-handed. This counts for holding a spell casting focus as well. Off-Hand Attacks: When you take the Attack action with a one-handed melee weapon, you may use your bonus action to make one off-hand attack with a different one-handed melee weapon. Off-hand attacks cannot be made with ranged or two-handed weapons, and spellcasters cannot use them. Unless you have the Dual Wielder feat, the off-hand attack must be made with a light weapon, it does not add your ability modifier to its damage, and it cannot be combined with the Nick feature. The Dual Wielder feat removes the light-weapon restriction, allows you to add your ability modifier to both attacks, and permits the use of Nick alongside two-weapon fighting. Exhaustion: Your PC will take a level of exhaustion for every time they go down to 0 HP Medicine Checks: DC 10 Medicine check will stabilize a party member with 0 HP. DC 15 Medicine check will bring them back to 1 HP Inspiration: You can stack Inspiration to 3 - If you have 3 inspirations stored and want to give all of them for a guaranteed critical success you can! (Only for ability checks and attacks)

How Wildflower creates a safe table

Safety is incredibly important in games of this nature. Session zero will be used to discuss safety features and how to use them in game. An extensive list of trigger warnings will be shared and discussed privately as well as in session zero so each player knows exactly what to expect before deciding to join this game. Check-Ins will happen before and after sessions and I make use of stars & wishes.
