Creating your character

Character creation starts once you've chosen to join. Once you’re in my discord server, we will go over the main points of the story and work together to craft your character; my goal is to weave PCs into the story as much as possible, adding fun twists and turns that will bring your character to life, allowing their personal story to develop further as the game continues. I want you to feel like your character belongs in the story. Starting level 11. Stats can be rolled in the server (best of three rolls) or you can use a modified point buy (34 points) or standard array (17 16 15 13 11 9); you may switch to point buy or standard array after rolling if preferred. We will use Discord for voice and background music and D&D Beyond as our VTT. Primary content and rules will be 2024 D&D 5.5e but we can include legacy 2014 D&D 5e content when desired. I consider myself a generous DM and character creation reflects that. PCs will start with a number of magic items (adjusted for starting level and module), some additional bonuses to stats, and extra feats (when applicable). I’m open to homebrew classes, species, and items but we will need to discuss them and ensure they are appropriately balanced with the other players. My games tend to be social roleplay and exploration heavy. Although combat will occur, I aim to make it meaningful to the story - though player choices may lead to more combat than planned. My focus is creating an engaging and fun story for everyone to enjoy.

Preparing for the session

To prepare, you simply need access to both Discord and D&D Beyond. Any additional details will be discussed when you join the server and/or in session zero.

What Fallen brings to the table

I provide an organized and safe Discord server where you can be yourself and be around others who simply are looking to have fun playing TTRPGs. I will provide links to the D&D Beyond campaign for character sheets and share the content I have purchased. Outside of our game time, I have availability to chat or answer questions. My availability on the weekend is limited so I can take time for myself to recharge and spend time with friends and family. Since I run both live and play-by-post games, I may not answer messages immediately, but I promise to respond to you when I’m able. You can expect my time, patience, and creative spark to design a fun and engaging story in a safe and comfortable atmosphere.

Homebrew rules

* I welcome homebrew in character creation for class, species, items, etc. However, we will need to discuss and make adjustments to ensure the game is balanced and fair for all players. See the “Character Creation” section for more details. * You may cast more than one leveled spell a turn (i.e., Action: Guiding Blot - Bonus Action: Healing Word) * Drinking a potion is a Bonus Action (you will roll for the amount of HP gained), but administering one to someone else is an Action. However, if you wish to use your Action to drink a healing potion, you receive the maximum HP available from it. * Flanking (when two allies - whether NPCs or PCs - are on opposite sides of the same enemy) gives advantage on attack rolls. * Cleaving: when a melee attack reduces an undamaged creature to 0 hit points, any excess damage from that attack may carry over to nearby enemies if they’re within reach. If the second creature is also undamaged and reduced to 0 hit points, the process continues. * Death saving throws are for the DM's eyes only. * Familiars act on your PC’s turn (before or after); they do not roll initiative.

How Fallen creates a safe table

During on-boarding we’ll have an open discussion about boundaries, comfort levels, and use tools like Lines, Veils, and safe words to ensure everyone feels respected and empowered. The safety and comfort of all those involved is priority number 1.
