Done Dirty20: Tale of Barovia

Creating your character

Starting level will be 1rst level, Gear or Gold to buy Gear and Point Buy for Stats. We will have a session 0 to talk about topics that will likely take place in the campaign, any expectations or questions, work on party composition and confirm schedules. And if all things go well and we have time we can do a .5 session that will lead into our first session when next we play. I will have optional Pre Made characters ready but you do not by any means need to play them if you do not wish to as it is mainly for the Funny hahas of a Party. I am for Homebrew provided we talk it over to make sure it's good with both me, the party and the story. We all want to be able to have fun and collectively tell this amazing story together and boast about it to our loved ones later of course!

Preparing for the session

Have a Discord username to provide me so I can add you, Roll20 account , D&D Beyond account, your character Sheet, and a notebook if you plan to take notes. Any sourcebook materials they want to use for their characters that we have talked and approved them using. Heroforge is not required but good to have for Token Making for your characters along with Pinterest to have pictures and references for your character, minions, mounts, companions, pets in case you wish to have your stuff in artworks and other medias!

What Denver brings to the table

I have most sourcebooks on D&D Beyond and a lot of materials off D&D beyond that one can use if they request it. I will be doing Character voices, ambient music, and I will always be up for talking things out should someone want to do something unique and cool. I will give players actual response from their Patrons and Deities if they break through to them.

Homebrew rules

Death Saving Throws will be between me and the Player. Party Members can evaluate them based on a medicine check or just outright heal them. This keeps the stakes high and a bit more realistic. Every round of combat a new initiative roll will take place to make the combat feel more organic. Spellcasters can cast spells beyond their spell slots at a cost of Exhaustion and roll of Wild Magic. Those that are dying may perform a final moment action at advantage. Potion drinking is a bonus action as long as you have one hand free. Melee Users whenever they use their melee weapon to attack someone within melee range and kills the target, any exceeding damage may hit a target within 5ft of the player at disadvantage. Called shots for those wanting to disarm or take out a leg or eye may say "I'd like to make a called shot" Declare where it is they'd like to aim their attack on the target. For a limb -3 to their roll, to the Head hands or feet it's a -6 to the roll and for eyes or anything of such size is at disadvantage. one free re-roll per session. Inspiration stacks and can be gained at anytime. They be used for a free additional re-roll and do not go away unless used.

How Denver creates a safe table

As mentioned before session 0 we will talk about topics and themes that may take place in the campaign and how we will avoid certain topics and themes if needed. I will give warnings at the start of the session and if there are scenes where it is a bit heavier I will also give warnings before then as well.
