A Fey themed Hexcrawl with High Power Characters | No AI

Creating your character

We will build characters together at session 0, Premade characters are avilalble, you are welcome to build ahead of time, I am happy to schedule extra time to help late joiners build before their first session. Everything you need is available on the Foundry Server. Bring a Level 5 character who would jump into a magical underground fey forest from which nobody has ever returned. You can build your character in Foundry, import one from D&D Beyond or select a Premade Character. The Foundry Server allows you to build a character without owning any books, and has a wide and expanding range of character options available including: - All 1st party 5e 2024 sources officially published for Foundry - A selection of 1st party 2014 options, tweaked to fit better into 2024 - A selection of 3rd party options including from Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim, Kibbles' Generic Elemental Spells, The Crooked Moon and Call from the Deep - Additional Origin Feats salvaged from 2014 era backgrounds - Bespoke rules for characters with mixed-species lineages - At least 8 subclasses for each of the 12 core classes If you are creating a character on D&D Beyond, you can broadly use whatever you want there. I aim to fulfill wishes and empower players to express their chatacter's fantasy, I do not ban individual options and will only veto character builds if I think they'll overshadow other players or break the adventure. Custom Backgrounds are encouraged. All characters get a Bonus Feat which can be an Origin Feat, Dark Gift, Dragonmark, Strike of the Giants etc. Standard Array and Point Buy are OK A wide array of powerful items (most Uncommons and selected Rares) are available to start with and listed on the Foundry Server. The world beyond the immediate setting is also undefined, feel free to bring narratives and places from your favourite setting or invent your own places and peoples to suit your chatacter.

Preparing for the session

You'll be sent links to a Foundry World and Discord Server when you sign up. Try to make sure your microphone works before we start and that you can connect to the Foundry World - make a Forge Account if you need one. You will not need a D&D Beyond account, physical books or physical dice. Bring a glass of water, stay hydrated. If you want to play with a premade character then you can sign up at session start time and play immediately, otherwise leave at least 30 minutes to pick magic items and feats, longer if you'll need to learn Foundry or havn't decided on a character concept yet.

What Dax brings to the table

I bring ambient music (which you can mute), 100% human made battlemaps and character images, interesting combat with puzzles, gimmicks and diversity, and a willingness to both bend the game rules and work with you to nail the fantasy that you're seeking. I prep meticulously and I understand the design of the game very deeply.

Homebrew rules

Rests happen in whatever time is needed to produce the right adventuring day, durations and activation times scale with them. Simplified Hand Changes - worry less about how the right weapon gets into your hand without breaking the game. Readied Actions are a delayed part of your turn i.e. full attack on ready.

How Dax creates a safe table

Lines and Veils are handled on Discord, with a private channel that only I and those signed up to play with you can see. The Foundry World has a fully anonymous X Card button, as well as a Raise Hand button that you can use if you feel like things are moving without your input that also works as our O card from time to time. At Session 0 we'll get to know each other a bit as people, make sure the Lines and Veils list is complete, we'll talk about everyone's wishes for the adventure and make sure everyone is happy with the tone we're going for. Everyone will have an opportunity to make requests and raise any other topics that are important to them.
