Vecna: Eve of Ruin & Destruction | The Remix | Level 13-20

Creating your character

Characters will all be finalized in session zero! Missed Session 0? No problem! We'll work together to get you straight into the story! Character will begin at level thirteen with starting equipment OR Gold, and an additional 5250 GP and your choice of 2 Common, 3 Uncommon, 1 Rare Magic Item. Stats will be chosen via point buy OR standard array! Characters can either be pre-made, or worked on together! We will be using the 2024 rules where available. Official and Partnered Content is allowed with a few exceptions: No Drakkenheim, Obojima, Cthulu by Torchlight or The Kindred Class. Homebrew/Third Party/2014 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Let's build a character you will love playing every single week!

Preparing for the session

What Kass | The Paradox DM brings to the table

Roll20 maps: Colorful maps with Dynamic Lighting to really set the scene. Tokens: NPC's and Players get unique tokens to represent themselves. Music: Ambient music and combat tracks to help set the mood and try and get you in your character's head! Content on D&D Beyond: Freedom to choose the subclass and features you want with content sharing from my Library containing hundreds of $$$ of D&D content! Access to an exclusive discord community of like-minded TTRPG-loving people with an unmatched love for this form of Storytelling! Unique Storylines: Every table and game is completely unique and YOURS! No game of mine ever runs the same way twice. Positive, Safe & Inclusive Atmosphere: I love sharing my passion for this game and making sure everyone at the table feels included and seen. Session Recordings: Need to miss a session?! Can't remember what that NPC said? Don't worry! All sessions are recorded and available in a private section on our discord so that you can relive every moment or get caught up before next session! ~~~ I am a Rules meets Cool DM. I am almost always happy to allow a good idea at the table, and will reward quick thinking and roleplay decisions. We will default to Rules as Written in cases of disagreement, but I am more concerned about the narrative aspect of your story and will push to give you those whenever possible!

Homebrew rules

Potions as Actions: Drinking a healing potion only requires a bonus action. However, if you use a full action you do not need to roll for the points, instead taking the full healing. Same rules apply for feeding someone else a potion. Death Saves in Secret: Death saves will be rolled secretly by the DM, adding suspense and urgency to character death. Flanking: Flanking an enemy grants a +2 to melee attack rolls instead of advantage. Hiding: 2024 Rules set 15 as the Stealth DC for hiding, if you roll less than a 15 it will be based on the enemies passive perception! Spell Scrolls: Spell scrolls can be used regardless of class (including non-spellcasters); however to activate a scroll a character must use their action to make an Intelligence (Arcana) check; the DC is equal to 10 + spell level. On a success, the character activates the scroll and casts the spell; on a failure, the scroll crumbles to dust and becomes unusable.

How Kass | The Paradox DM creates a safe table

When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, pre-session every player will fill out an RPG Consent Checklist which will allow me to avoid triggers before the game even begins. Then every session zero includes letting players know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat or private DM. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!
