Wizard School Life!

Creating your character

Character creation is intended to happen at Session 0/Onboarding. I'm aware people will come in with the intention to run a certain character and that's fully ok, but finalization should wait until session 0 when we discuss expectations, character concepts, backgrounds, and intentions. These are characters everyone will be spending many hours together with. Lets be sure they are not all natural enemies. At least not on accident. Stat rolls will be done together at session 0. Anyone joining late will get to roll their stats when we do our 1-on-1 onboarding call. Stats will be rolled in the VTT, 46d drop. 3 Sets pick your preferred. Characters will be created on DndBeyond, and all source materials will be made available there. If there is anything outside the sources I provide you wish to use, please discuss with me beforehand as anything else is considered banned.

Preparing for the session

Games will be hosted on, and require accounts for both Discord and DndBeyond. We will be using DnDBeyond for both VTT and Characters, and I will be sharing most of my source materials with you through the campaign on Beyond. To play: -First join Discord through the provided link, and introduce yourself there. -Second join the campaign through the provided link. You are free to begin your character concept, however nothing is final until session 0/onboarding. -(OPTIONAL) Third read up on Strixhaven History and the different Campuses. Strixhaven is a sprawling and diverse school with almost limitless options. Most students going there know most things about the school and it will not be considered meta to have knowledge of its workings and ideals and even quirks.

What Conri brings to the table

My GM style is a very Story-centric style. I will do my best to utilize my characters and activities to weave your PCs into the world. This module is very Roleplay focused, and I will be doing my best to bring these characters I have come to love to life. Through a combination of pictures, voices and music selection I hope to make each scene unique and fun. Plan on plenty of conversation with NPC's, but dont count the combat out yet. There is plenty that can go wrong in a school full of Magical Aspirants. And plenty that will. As I said before the scale of Combat is something we can talk about, but rest assured your prowess will be tested. I will offer customized courses, hobbies, job and relationship opportunities to each of you as we work on surviving a not so normal school life. We will take time to talk about it in length. And don't worry, I don't have any intention to allow it to become a monotonous school simulation. Classes will offer unique opportunities to gain resources, knowledge and other advantages for challenges to come beyond the modules boon/bane and student dice system. There will be plenty of downtime activities and encounters, and possibly even a tasteful romance or two. The options are only stopped by your own desires.

Homebrew rules

Nat 20 skill checks will reap additional benefit even on failure. Potions apply max heal when drank, or can be rolled to be splashed on someone. (i.e. a Potion of Healing does 10hp when drank or 2d4+2 when splashed) Can auto-fail death saves for a final act

How Conri creates a safe table

We will spend time during Session 0 going through my linked rules document, and tailoring content limitations to the party. I seek to ensure everyone has fun and no one is left uncomfortable at my table. That being said, this is expected to be a table of Adults, and some adult themes may occur. Please speak up if you feel bothered by anything. I cannot accommodate what I don't know.
