Welcome to Morgrave! Player Primer
Welcome to Morgrave!
For this marathon, we'll have a multi-step process for Character Creation that should feel familiar, but will also certainly be new.
Stage 1 - Character Proposals
- Provide at least two character proposals. Each will have the following information:
- 5 significant events from your character growing up;
- 100 words of who they currently are;
- 200 word explanation addressing “Why Morgrave?” (why are they going, what do they hope for, how do they plan to get in and
- Three long term goals.
- Additional Guidelines/framing:
- Characters will be joining Morgrave’s new “Headstart Program”, which is a boarding school-style secondary education experience. As such, your character should be an adolescent (14-16 years, or racial equivalent). It typically lasts for a full year before students can be fully enrolled in Morgrave.
- Feel free to review the Morgrave Student Archtypes for help prompts for drafting your character concept. These can be mixed and matched as you see fit.
- Feel free to explore Sharn (especially Morgrave University) to begin to orient yourself to the campaign setting.
Stage 2 - Character Creation
- Once you've gotten approval of a character concept, we'll schedule a session zero to roll your stats.
- Classes
- All students are assumed to come in level 0. Level 0 characters have 8 + con modifier hit points and one skill proficiency of their choice.
- Upon leveling up, players may choose any class from the PHB (2024) and/or Artificer (UA2024). If their 1st level starting hit points are more than the hit points they currently have, then increase those hit points accordingly.
- Advance Standing: A student may have advance standing, in which they come in with their 1st level class already pre-determined. Their hit points and initial skills are instead dictated by their selected class. Players who choose to start with Advance Standing already have their eyes set on their future career and may ultimately miss out on some learning and growth opportunities available to Level 0 students. Similarly, players choosing advanced standing will not level to level 2 until the party achieves the level 2 milestone.
- Races – Players may choose from the Races in the PHB (2024) with the following changes:
- Additions:

- Add Medusa
