Character Creation

• We're starting this campaign at level 1.
• Use 27-point buy to determine your character's stats. See PHB page 13 or use https://chicken-dinner.com/5e/5e-point-buy.html
• We use Milestone Leveling. You don't need to track XP; each character will be leveled up after various sessions.
• Instead of rolling for HP, take the average and round up. (e.g. the average roll of a 6-sided dice is 3.5, so you would round up and gain 4 HP).
• Characters start with EITHER the equipment and gold granted by your class and background, OR you can start with your class's starting gold, as shown in the table in the spoiler. Starting Gold

Backgrounds

All Characters must be an adult (e.g. Human characters must be at least 18 years old, Aarakocra must be at least 3 years old, and Elves must be at least 90-100 years old.) Reflavoring your character is allowed, though take note that some races - such as the Genasi - have already been reflavored in this campaign. Please don't reflavor your character to something that already exists in game, and please ensure that your character is still ultimately recognizable as a member of their race.

• (GGR) You may take one of the Ravnica backgrounds instead of taking a feat at 1st level.
• (SCC) You may take one of the Strixhaven backgrounds instead of taking a feat at 1st level. However, you do not gain the Strixhaven Initiate feat from these backgrounds.

Feats

You may take feats in lieu of an Ability Score Improvement.
All characters start with a bonus feat at level 1, unless you have selected an ERFLW Dragonmarked race, a GGTR Guild background, or a SCC Student background. Each of these options is mutually exclusive - for example, you cannot select both a Dragonmarked race and a Guild background, or select both a Student background and a bonus feat.

• (SCC) Silvery Barbs is now a 2nd-level spell, and is only on the Bard spell list.

Weapons, Armor, and Items

• Nets no longer have disadvantage on ranged attack rolls made against targets within 5 ft.
• Firearms are a separate proficiency from martial weapons.
• Scrolls can be used by anyone, though if you cannot cast the spell normally, scrolls require an Intelligence (Arcana) check equal to 10 + the spell's level to cast.

Travel And Encumbrance

• Fall damage now has no upper limit.
• Change from last year: We are using regular encumbrance rules.

Downtime

• While in-between adventures, your character might choose to take an action that requires a significant time investment to complete, such as research, building a custom house, or carousing the streets. Such activities are encouraged, and you can find rules for them on the WorldAnvil.
