Baldur's Gate - Alaundo's Prophecy

Creating your character

Players are encouraged to make their characters before 'session 0' but 'session 0' will be useful for finalizing characters. I am willing to answer any questions about character creation. Players may use Pathbuilder to make their characters. One of the players in the campaign will be making a narratively focused character, this could be voted on by the players or chosen randomly. Restricted Character Options - gunslinger class - all RARE ancestries, backgrounds, heritages, classes and feats Allowed Character Options: - all COMMON or UNCOMMON ancestries, backgrounds, heritages, classes and feats. (narrative consequences are possible for Uncommon ancestries) Variant Rules: Free archetype

What Nathan brings to the table

Sound: I run a diverse catalogue of music, with sound effects for obvious environmental effects like waterfalls, doors, lightning. Visuals: I will always prepare visual aids for the players. From tactical battlemaps in combat to scenic views of the city as well as the stuffy rooms of a local vendor, it is my goal to add visuals not only for beauty and immersion but so the interpretation of an idea is closer aligned between everyone involved. Playstyle: I love using NPCs for the long-haul. If you encounter an NPC that you like or dislike, expect them to be around for awhile. - I am not a proficient voice actor! I will adjust the speed at which NPCs speak and their diction, but speaking with accents is not a skill I possess. To make NPCs more distinct I will general describe body language or attitude while they speak. - I like tactical combat and use gridded maps for that purpose. - The Rule of Cool is great as long as it is not used with the intention of rule breaking. Quirks: I love the threat and intended speed of combat. I frown on tactical planning after initiative is rolled. Exclamations of intent or asking dichotomous questions are encouraged, but detailed multi-round plans are tactics for before combat.

Homebrew rules

Variant Rules: Free archetype Concerning Recall Knowledge - critical failure does not provide false information. Failed Recall Knowledge checks can be rerolled with a hero point. Critically failed recall knowledge checks cannot be rerolled with a hero point. Concerning Hero points - Hero points are not given or taken away at the beginning or end of a session.

How Nathan creates a safe table

Session 0 - primarily this will outline any safety requirements, but will also describe my intention in tone and style. Detailing how characters will level and how they can acquire items will be addressed. The fundamentals of Foundry VTT will be discussed as well as my understanding of players proficiency with the VTT. Any remaining time in the 'session 0' will address the world the players inhabit and their place within it. Debriefing - I intend to allow time (5-10 minutes) at the end of a session to discuss any concerns players have. I will generally be available after session to debrief with players if they require privacy.
