Mutations and Mystery, a Formula for Adventure! Dnd 5.5 homebrew

Creating your character

When crafting a character, keep these questions in mind and have answers for them by the end of session 1. Why was your character headed to this land? (Examples) Was it to see family, a quest, to finish something they started long ago, or maybe they are a "failed" experiments of a scientist. Who do they know who is living in this region? Why are they willing to take up arms against these foes ? All official dndbeyond content is allowed except humans, griffon saddlebags and cthulhu by torchlight. You will run character sheets from dndbeyond and view and interact with the maps via roll20. Roll for stats in discord (reroll of total os 72 or lower) or use the array of 12, 12, 13, 14 ,14 15

Preparing for the session

You will need at least the free versions of Dndbeyond, roll20 and discord, as well as the beyond20 extension. Reliable internet, a computer or laptop, and a working mic.

What WeirdDruid brings to the table

Custom maps so there is a reason for everything there as i make them. Including dynamic lighting, doors and objects to interact with. Theme and mood fitting music. A diverse roster of npc's with unique mannerisms and motives. I do my best at voices and making one character feel different than another. I also reward and encourage out of the box and unorthodox approaches to the use of skills and abilities. And this must be said, i am on my players side. I want the players to succeed. So instead of trying work against me, ask me what you would like to try and we will work together to make it happen.

Homebrew rules

Healing items are bonus action to administer to yourself or a another. Flanking is a +2 to melee attack rolls. Heroic Insperation can be used to re-roll any D20 test you make or to reroll damage and healing rolls from attack or spells. Silvery Barbs is allowed but to keep in line with 2024, i ask that you cast it before i roll any dice, and i will pause to make sure you have that window.

How WeirdDruid creates a safe table

There will be a session 0 to make sure we are aware of all known boundaries and hard lines. These are amenable should new triggers or lines need to be made. There will be body horror in this campaign. However there are few things that will never appear in my games and things that there is a 0 tolerance for. Those are Real life based racism S.A Animal and child abuse Sexism And any discrimination or prejudice for the LGBTQ+ community or people of color. Should anything make you uncomfortable, message me and we will hault the game and resolve the issue before we continue.
